Mark & Joe have been on the red carpet again! This time we cover everything from Star Wars to Chicago to The Talented Mr Ripley to Revenant!
The charming & erudite Chris Chapman delights with discussions about documentaries, celebrating people’s lives, powerful audios, honouring history and navigating Doctor Who.
In the second of our epic conversation of Toby’s career we detail some of the incredible encounters he has had & the fondest memories of Doctor Who alumni.
In our mammoth chat together, Toby very kindly gave his time, insight and memories of acting and comedy. You’ll get a true insight into the business, its highs and lows and lots of anecdotes along the way. Enjoy, folks!
Let’s enter into the Top Ten of gorgeous Hamster contributor, Steven B from New to Who and creator of the brilliant Re-imaging Who!
The gorgeous Robert Valentine offers up his top ten for inspection.
In this minisode, we celebrate the top ten Doctor Who stories of the wonderful Jo Short (@thebrainofspock)
Joe & Daniel; ‘What are we going to do with this fellow? He’s utterly irresponsible!’ Dennis Spooner at this hilarious best with scenes as the Doctor and the Monk attempt to outwit one another. This has been a joy to unpick.
Joe & Daniel; ‘It’s a TARDIS…the Monk’s got a TARDIS!’ What a Carry On, as we plunder the movies to cast Doctor Who. And William Hartnell is back and we’re only to delighted (to celebrate him!).
Does losing William Hartnell harm the story? Huge love and discussion of Dennis Spooner and his effect on Doctor Who. And we cover the elephant in the room - the assault of Edith.
Joe & Daniel; ‘Sheer poetry, dear boy!’ Hartnell, Purves and O’Brien in fine form, atmosphere in the studio, a witty, anachronistic script, Edith, celebrity guest stars, chairs with pandas on them! What will we talk about?
Joe & Si; ‘You really are mad!’ The finale of the new, bombastic Doctor, the end to Mestor’s evil plot and goodbye to dishy Hugo Lang! This is the worst story ever…why are we laughing so much?
Joe & Si; ‘Never argue with me again!’ The plot kicks in and we’re a lot happier. We discuss the nature of enjoying bad stories and why that is perfectly okay. Plus weird science and Gastropods.
Joe & Si; ‘A bump - A BUMP?’ Titan Three is where we shall repent! Is Peri devout? Is Azmael fabulous? Do we find a part of the production to praise? And does Joe explain well enough why he really enjoys this nonsense?
Joe & Si; ‘We all know the fate of alien spies!’ Colin arrives in an explosion of energy, turbulence and violence - and that’s just the show! Si is appalled, Joe is excited - can they find some common ground and a craggy knob?
Joe & Rod; monkeying around or not real? Moffat love! Rod loves the era, and the writing and we bring that positivity to hone in on one of Moffat’s most labyrinthine scripts. ❤️ Missy ❤️
Joe & Paul; ‘if you stop enjoying it, give it up!’ In which the glorious Paul Quinn charts the systematic destruction and death of science fiction in the 80s & 90s and it all starts with this story…
Joe & Paul; ‘your bile would be better directed towards the enemy, Doctor!’ More cultural references than you can shake a stick at, an attack on the era and the story but done with smarts, wit and a love for the show. Welcome, Paul.
Joe & Luke; ‘Don’t touch the baby!’ I’m the blue corner; Father’s Day devotee, handsome hunk and new Whoer - Luke Molloy. In the red corner; Father’s Day loather, idiot podcaster and classic series fan - Joe Ford FFFIIIGGGHHHTTT!!!
Joe & Dylan; ‘your people were annihilated, your planet obliterated!’ Dylan & Alan ‘Rocky’ Marshall, McCoy emerging, great (slightly wobbly) model work, ignored massacres & ‘goodnight, Teddy.’
