We've got three randomly selected seasons of Who, and some handshakes and P45s to hand out… but what will be heading where? Find out as Jim Allenby and Jeff Goddard dissect, rate, rank and assess Series 6 (Matt Smith), Season 11 (Jon Pertwee) and Series 1/40 (Ncuti Gatwa). Expect plenty of divided opinions!
It’s the last in the current batch of Charter Flights, so welcome Dan Hollingsworth onboard, as he makes his choices for handshakes and P45s from five specially selected categories. So join us for discussions about 60s Who, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Ncuti Gatwa and comedy in Who. Plus, plenty of crazy tangents and silly nonsense!
Two newcomers jump onboard the bus for a trip of a lifetime! Join Dave Rennie and Mark Stockley, as we pass out the handshakes and P45s to Marco Polo, Timelash, Fear Her and Empress of Mars! Will there be any positives here? Or at least any that don’t include the phrase “Central Asia”?
We’re back to picking handshakes and P45s for three randomly selected seasons of Who. So join David Gillespie-Pratt and Andrew F, as we take a long, hard look at Season 25 (McCoy), Series 12 (Whittaker) and Season 6 (Troughton). Who’s getting the love, and who’s getting the kicking?
It’s the most personal Nostalgia Tours yet, as regular guest David Lancaster remembers his late dad, Nigel. There’s talk of Hartnell, Graham Williams and Season 24. Plus, how Nigel and David created original Who novels before The New Adventures, and new audio drama before Big Finish! A life remembered through the lens of Doctor Who.

What a selection of stories! Join the wonderful team of Dan Pinn and Luke Sims-Jenkins, as we prod and poke at the unlikely combination of The Underwater Menace, Time-Flight, The Stolen Earth / Journey’s End and Under The Lake / Before The Flood. Which will survive the grilling? And which will be drowned before we get to the end?
It’s the start of a new strand of Nostalgia Tours! So join those cheeky boys Dylan Rees and Liam, as they propose handshakes and P45s for season 10 (Pertwee), season 17 (Tom) and series 10 (Capaldi). Then throw in some wildcard suggestions, and who will be brought the gift of hymetusite, and who will be sent to see Razor down in the basement?
It’s Christmas, so what better time to sit down with Three Kings of podcasting and watch five Doctor Who specials? So join Jim Allenby, Jeff Goddard and Melvin Peña, as we take on K9 and Company, The Unquiet Dead, The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe, The Return of Doctor Mysterio and The Church on Ruby Road. Watch out for ominous goats!
Fire up your Range Rovers and Jaguar Coupes, and join us in the world of The New Avengers! David Gillespie-Pratt and Daniel Knight take the assignment, and investigate The Eagle’s Nest, The Last of The Cybernauts, Target! and Gnaws, and pass judgement on the adventures and escapades of Steed, Purdey and Gambit. Keep avenging!
A massive ‘welcome back’ to the brilliant Tim Burrows from the Missing Episodes podcast, together with the lovely Paul Dunn. And what a selection of stories for them to consider! The Web Planet, The Enemy of the World, The Rebel Flesh / Almost People, and The Robot Revolution. From black and white to very OTT technicolour! But which will triumph?
Proud Welshman Jon Arnold leaps back onto the bus for his very own Charter Flight! And Wales is important here, as Jon discusses how well the country is (or isn’t!) represented in Who. We also shine a light on 1970’s writers, exemplar moments in the Matt Smith era, NuWho pseudo-historicals and single episodes of the Davison era. A total delight!
It’s the long-awaited return of both Jeff Goddard and Phil Newman! And there are mixed receptions for all the stories that have been chosen for their assessment and analysis - The Three Doctors, Revenge of the Cybermen, Extremis and Lucky Day. But which will triumph with a slew of handshakes, and which will be gathering up all the P45s? Find out…
It’s time for another Charter Flight! And this week, we’ll be visiting the choices of playwright, screenwriter, audio writer, comic book writer, film journalist and lecturer, Ian Winterton. But where will we be heading? Stay tuned….
What a top-notch pairing! The glorious combo of Mark Dodyk and Andrew F jump back on the bus, to take on Death To The Daleks, The Invasion of Time, The Sontaran Stratagem / Poison Sky and The Name of the Doctor. Will one of these stories get a proper kicking, whilst still being showered with praise? (hint: yes!). And which story is too ‘meat and potatoes’? Find out!
We’re heading back to Blake’s 7 in the company of experts. Firstly, welcome Jonathan Helm, writer and researcher on the magnificent Blake’s 7 Production Diaries (which may get the odd reference here). And secondly, it’s hello to John Isles from the I Don’t Do Sci-Fi podcast. Together, we’ll explore Space Fall, Weapon, Ultraworld and Orbit, and decide which deserves most love!
Join the effervescent, irrepressible, unique Joumana as we head off on her very own Charter Flight. As a more recent convert to Who, what will Joumana make of the Second Doctor, or indeed, the writers from the 1980s? We also come bang up-to-date by looking at Jodie’s best moments, and the worst characters from the Ncuti era! Wonderful fun!
A divisive quartet of stories generates strong opinions from magnificent guests, Lucy McCaul and Matt Sawyer. So join us as we explore the worlds, characters, storylines and looks of The Brain of Morbius, Mark of the Rani, Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel and Joy to the World. But which will get the biggest kicking?
Enjoy an extended Charter Flight with the delightful Alex Wilcock! We talk Troughton guest characters, individual episodes from the Graham Williams era, JNT stunt casting, Eccleston performers and Ncuti moments – with surprises and shocks at every turn. And more than a few tangents…
What a joyful journey, as top guests Jon Arnold and Mark Dodyk jump onboard the bus for a whizz around The Mind of Evil, Terminus, Oxygen and The Power of the Doctor. But who or what will be getting the now-famous Nostalgia Tours handshakes? Maybe, this time, it’s not so obvious…
It’s time for another detour! Join Jim Allenby and Eliza Hemming, as we explore the twisted time corridors of Sapphire and Steel, focusing on Adventures One to Three. From an old remote house, to an abandoned railway station, and finally a time-travelling apartment, there’s plenty to discover and enjoy!
