For our fourth episode, we’re digging into the masculinities in the TARDIS through the lens of discussing our favourite and least favourite Doctors.

• We kick off with yet another rigged Buzzfeed quiz about which Doctor we are. We both got Matt Smith despite choosing very different answers.
  
  


• An exploration of our favourite Doctors!
  
  


• The BBC covered up Christopher Eccleston’s reasons for leaving (toxicity) by claiming he didn’t want to be typecast.
  
  


• Did we fancy David Tennant, or did we want to be him?
  
  


• The Doctor and themes of romance and domesticity. The Doctor can’t have a dull, homely life.
  
  


• The relationship between the Doctor and humans, the way he interacts with them, parent and child relationship.
  
  


• The impact of the age of the actor playing the Doctor on the dynamic with his companions and the ‘alienness’ of the Doctors
  
  


• Returning actors who play small characters then return to companions (Romana is the Time Lady Florence is trying to think of).
  
  


• Which Doctors we didn’t connect with as well
  
  


• Ad Break: we have fake sponsorships. Please give us money so we can have proper sponsorships. Also stay hydrated!
  
  


• Florence is a bit lecherous and wants to introduce a segment called Florence’s Thirst Trap Corner
  
  


• Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor brought Soof back into the fold as a fan. They enjoyed the dynamic with the three companions. Mates trying to save the world.
  
  


• Gender in the TARDIS: masculinity as reflected in alienness of the Doctor, the companions as embodying feminised empathy. Captain Jack as bringing a flirtatious fun energy compared to the usual jealousy that other male companions bring.
  
  


• Soof and Florence share stories of dressing up as the Doctor
  
  


• The Master as embodying madness and anger. The clever easter egg of the pocket watch - Russell T Davies was good at weaving in small easter eggs in a way that Steven Moffat wasn’t.


• Theme music was Blur and Coalesce by Podington Bear, from Free Music Archive.
