Gallifrey, Vardans, AND Sontarans!? What is this madness!? Well, The Invasion of Time, apparently. Join us, the Watchers in the Fourth Dimension (of Rassilon) as we pick apart the Doctor’s latest return to his ancestral homeland for run-ins with high-ranking Time Lords, the introduction of exciting Time Ladies, and goodbyes to two beloved companions.   Join us as we talk about continuity errors, Tom Baker’s out-of-control ego, enormous amounts of jelly babies, mistreatment of K9, the Doctor’s enormous hypocrisy around time loops, the overuse of “DOC-TORRRR!” and the prospect of Borusa being played by Kenneth Williams. Naturally, Julie returns to old habits, talking about chairs, while the ending leaves Reilly devastated.   If you would like to watch along with us, you can find this story available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).

Questionable physics, enormous amounts of CSO, and shamelessly riffing on Greek mythology in a way that hasn’t been done since Season 9? Yeah, it can only be Underworld – widely touted as the worst story of the Tom Baker era. But is it really as bad as its reputation suggests, or will the Watchers find plenty to forgive? We ARE in our controversial era, so ANYTHING is possible!   Join us as we discuss budget sofas, surprisingly good model work and costumes, more changes to Time Lord society, the spurious use of office supplies, invoking the spirit of Vicki, and, of course, lots of running up and down corridors and around CSO caves. Additionally, Anthony once again tries to fire Reilly… twice.   If you would like to watch along with us, you can find this story available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).

Are you an outgoing script editor? Do you have a grievance against a government agency? Is it specifically the tax authority? Well, why not write an entire serial of a kids’ show about the unfair burden of taxes? It’s a sure-fire winner, right?!? Right!?!? Even if not, it’s what happened for us to get The Sun Makers. Good job, Robert Holmes. Thankfully, your three favourite members of Watchers in the Fourth Dimension are here to dissect it for you!   Join us as we discuss the unfair burden of taxes (surprise, surprise), the Doctor being a sore loser, whether the Collector is an anti-semetic trope, whether or not Leela and Bisham actively ran over some Inner Retinue guards, and how we miss Vicki and Jamie helping to foment rebellion. Lastly, Anthony attempts to fire Reilly and Julie from the podcast over their dislike of jelly babies. What heathens.   If you would like to watch along with us, you can find this story available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).

We continue our journey through all of Doctor Who, as we discuss the third serial of Season 15: Image of the Fendahl. Received fan wisdom has this as being one of the better stories of the season… however, we’re in our controversial era this season – will we find gothic Who’s final story be a worthy last hurrah, or will we find it to be as limp as a salt-covered leech? Listen in to find out!   Join us as we discuss Benedict Cumberbatch’s Mum, Big Finish’s inevitable “Leaky the Dog” series (featuring Jackie Tyler), the sloppy kitchen sink approach of lazy representations of the occult, Reilly’s dislike of squelching, and the Doctor’s hypocrisy with Time Lords. We also ask the important questions like “why does Leela look like she’s going to Coachella?”   If you would like to watch along with us, you can find this story available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).

It’s time for a bonus episode! We are joined by our wonderful friend Diana Birney as we return to the very beginning, to discuss the recent re-edited, re-scored, and colourised version of The Daleks!   Join us as we talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of this. And there’s probably more bad and ugly than good, to be honest… still, even though they cut the “Baebara” storyline and removed any actual tension from the story, at least we get to see Barbara’s amazingly garish pink cardigan. Small blessings, amirite…?   If you would like to watch along with us, the animated version of this story is available on iPlayer in the UK, and is available on Blu Ray from both Amazon US (https://amzn.to/42Izkst) and Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/49e4pqu).   We discussed the original version of this serial in our 2nd ever episode, Sex Pants and Naivete – check it out for a more detailed discussion of the plot here: https://bit.ly/3ut84BT     Other media mentioned in this episode*: Frozen (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3lPzNEV | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3lChXoo) The Wizard of Oz (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3ATvg9t | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3ARGSd3) Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3ptuM83 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3BSULsQ) The Collected Works of Hayao Miyazaki (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3ULoQqy) Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood – The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/49iJJOe | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/49DDUdN) Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3yWEhzi | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3HoBlyr) LMFAO, ft.

We (finally) say hello to the legendary robotic pooch known as K9, while we also take on a giant, aggressively randy space prawn virus (yes, seriously!) which just wants to infect everyone and then BREED in The Invisible Enemy. We’ve been crying out for the weird lately… but not like this!   Join us as we discuss cheap (but actually surprisingly good) sets, the disrespect that Leela receives, the good and the bad of the model work, questionable costume choices, the continued gag of Gallifrey being in Ireland, disappointing medical doctors, and the confusion of K9 being introduced with Leela and not Sarah Jane Smith!   If you would like to watch along with us, you can find this story available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).

Surprise bonus episode drop! We are joined by our good friend Robert Lloyd as we do the inevitable and revisit The Underwater Menace in the light of the recent animation. Suffice to say, nuzzink in the vorld can schtopp us now!   Join us as we discuss Professor Zaroff’s carefully curated brand, the wonderfully snarky octopus, whether Jamie has been eating a bit too much haggis, counter-culture hippy vibes, BBC animation budgets, and Anthony gets incredibly nitpicky about colours. Meanwhile, Julie gets a little upset about the animation of Jamie, and the pairing back of his tartan…   If you would like to listen along with us, the animated version of this story is available from both Amazon US (https://amzn.to/3SKxOTo) and Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3SLqcjJ).   We originally discussed this serial in our 38th episode, Zar-off the Chain – check it out for a more detailed discussion of the plot here: https://bit.ly/4bq3d52   Other media mentioned in this episode*: Good Omens (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3n5DA0M | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3ARTLUe) The Complete Scooby-Doo Where Are You!

We kick off a brave new era as Graham Williams takes the reins of the show with the Season 15 opener, Horror of Fang Rock. This story features our only ever sighting of a Rutan – the mortal enemy of the Sontarans. It also features… rich people? Ugh. Ok, whatever, guys.   Join us as we discuss Leela’s bloodlust, Terrance Dicks’ love of the green, whether this story suffered from overspending at the end of the previous season, the absolutely terrible rich people that find their way into this story (and if they’re really necessary), and the disappointing lack of a “Best of Fang Rock” story from Big Finish! Anthony finds himself longing for the coming of the revolution, while Reilly finds himself getting very upset about some news regarding the end of the season.   If you would like to watch along with us, you can find this story available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).

As has become our custom, we wrap up the season with a bonus episode featuring a Big Finish story set during the season we’ve just discussed. For Season 14, we’re heading back to Tom Baker’s first release for Big Finish with Destination: Nerva!   Join us as we discuss *the squish*, actors getting older, unnecessary back stories, how the storytelling gives a sense of grand scope, yet another plot ripping off The Thing, and spreading the British Empire. Meanwhile, Reilly gets upset at the lack of a Big Finish spin-off for Condo from The Brain of Morbius…   If you would like to listen along with us, this story is available from BigFinish.com (https://bit.ly/3S95cBG)   Other media mentioned in this episode*: The Thing (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3pe2VZ3 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3G188JE) Rick and Morty – Seasons 1-4 (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3lAWSLv | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/31pNymB) Society (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3OabC2d | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/423rcmd) The Simpsons (Disney+: http://www.disneyplus.com) Leela in Big Finish: Gallifrey audio series (BigFinish.com: https://bit.ly/47GVJY7) Zagreus (BigFinish.com: https://bit.ly/3Oc0xxF) Jago and Litefoot in Big Finish (BigFinish.com: https://bit.ly/3NKrGaJ)   Finally, you can follow us and interact with us on our social media accounts - Facebook, Instagram, and X.

It’s time for our all-singing, all-dancing Season 14 retrospective! Except, there’s no singing, and no dancing. Just the usual format, with your three erstwhile hosts having an absolute blast recapping one of the most iconic seasons of the classic show.   Join us as we talk about the departure of Sarah and the arrival of Leela, blowing the budget on Talons, the lack of women in the Hinchcliffe era, and whether Tom Baker has by this season become the benchmark against which all other Doctors should be judged. And, of course, we all discuss who would give the Dickie to… Oh! And we also recap our top 10 scoring stories TO DATE!   If you would like to watch along with us, you can find the entirety of the season on Blu Ray from both Amazon US (https://amzn.to/3SmKq3n) and Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/462oGga).   Other media mentioned in this episode*: Space: 1999: The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3pbTv08 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3p7W43u) Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3jtKa0j | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3EdmvZX) Blackadder: The Ultimate Edition (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/30sMUnN | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3BU2WoN) The James Bond Collection (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3FWn6kg | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3DQB4lR)   Finally, you can also follow us and interact with us on various forms of social media - Facebook, Instagram, and X.

Oh boy… it’s time for us to cover The Talons of Weng-Chiang! For a long time considered one of the greatest Doctor Who stories of all time, but more recently faced with accusations of racism, you just know that this is going to be a wild ride of a discussion!   Join us as we talk about Britbox trigger warnings, John Bennett in yellowface, creepy AF puppets with pig brains, classic Holmesian double acts, Victorian London, time cabinets, unnecessarily verbose dialogue, and justifying sexualization of Leela based on Julie’s prior sexualization of Jamie. Additionally, Reilly tries to get to grips with cockney rhyming slang.   If you would like to watch along with us, this story is available for streaming at both Britbox US (https://www.britbox.com) and Britbox UK (https://www.britbox.co.uk).

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, when we once again bring you our Holiday special. This year, we are joined again by our good friend Alan Siler to discuss the iconic BBC Children’s production of The Box of Delights! Many of you have asked for us to talk about this one, and so we hope that this doesn’t disappoint!   Join us as we discuss posset pots, going swift (does someone own the copyright on “flying”?), creepy clergymen, esoteric topics (yes, Anthony gets to talk about alchemy, Rosicrucianism, and Aleister Crowley!), obscure bits of mythology, the shifting motivations of the villain, the complete inability of anyone to actually look after children in this, whether or not the whole thing was actually a fever dream, and not getting as much Patrick Troughton as we wanted.   If you would like to watch along with us, this series is available to buy from both Amazon US (https://amzn.to/47dfpm2) and Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3tvTj0A).

This episode, we’re off to a sandminer on a distant planet where a psychopath who believes is a robot is systematically killing off his colleagues (Agatha Christie-style) in order to create a robot revolution. Sounds convoluted, but it’s actually really good – it’s The Robots of Death!   Join us as we discuss Chris Boucher’s amazing world building (again), complex interpersonal relations, the continued love for Leela, the hilarious character names (Chubb lol), which characters are sleeping with which (because, let’s be honest, this lot are stuck together for months on end, you know it’s happening…), and whether this is the best Doctor Who serial that we’ve seen so far…   If you would like to watch along with us, this story is available for streaming at both Britbox US (https://www.britbox.com) and Britbox UK (https://www.britbox.co.uk).

The Doctor’s face carved on a mountain Mount Rushmore-style? Lots of scantily-clad people running around, fighting invisible monsters? Green-tinged people with a superiority complex? And then you want to add-on an insane computer?!? Chris Boucher definitely gets his Doctor Who career to an impressive start with his ambition. Yes, this episode, we’re discussing The Face of Evil!   Join us as we discuss Tom Baker’s ego, the absolutely fantastic direction, Chris Boucher’s amazing world building (including the complexity of the Tribe of the Sevateem), critiques of religion, the Doctor once again acting like Bugs Bunny, the surprising influence of this era of the show on Matt Groening, and whether the Tesh should work at Willy Wonka’s factory or if they should be hanging out in Oz…   If you would like to watch along with us, this story is available for streaming at both Britbox US (https://www.britbox.com) and Britbox UK (https://www.britbox.co.uk).

The Doctor’s off on a solo venture to his home planet of Gallifrey, where an old enemy awaits, but this time in a form as crispy as sesame chicken! It’s a bonkers one, with ventures into the Matrix (sadly without Laurence Fishburne), forgotten relics, a German Time Lord, and Robert Holmes driving a bulldozer through established continuity. Listen in as we discuss The Deadly Assassin!   Join us as we talk about our ongoing opinion of the Time Lords, the excellent directorial choices, Time Lords eating mints, the influences of the British Empire on Time Lord society, the continuing trope of bad bosses, whether there are actually clowns on Gallifrey, and, of course, the motives of the Crispy Master.   If you would like to watch along with us, this story is available for streaming at both Britbox US (https://www.britbox.com) and Britbox UK (https://www.britbox.co.uk).

Eldrad must live! On what is her 18th story with the Doctor, we wave goodbye to Sarah Jane Smith (for now at least). She’s had a bit of a torrid time during her tenure in the TARDIS, and The Hand of Fear is no exception, as she gets possessed by the evil Eldrad. This serial has everything – silicon despots, hospitals, nuclear horror, mind control (ah, that old chestnut!), and, of course, a scarf-trip!   Join us as we discuss the advantages of closed captions, the universal art of quilting, Gallifrey being in Ireland, cats on synthesizers, Sarah trolling the Doctor, and the sad case of what is likely the end of Professor Watson’s career. It’s a fun-packed episode, so make sure you listen in to this one!   If you would like to watch along with us, this story is available for streaming at both Britbox US (https://www.britbox.com) and Britbox UK (https://www.britbox.co.uk).

We’re finally getting started on the legendary Season 14, as we discuss the debut serial, The Masque of Mandragora. Will it live up to the expectations that the received wisdom of fandom has set for the season, or will the season opener prove to be a disappointment? As always, you’ll have to listen to find out!   Join us as we discuss whether this story would still work without Federico, what we wish Part One had been, the new credits font, the new TARDIS control room, dimensionally transcendental pockets, the appropriate length of recaps, and the various callbacks to the past throughout the story...   If you would like to watch along with us, this story is available for streaming at both Britbox US (https://www.britbox.com) and Britbox UK (https://www.britbox.co.uk).
