Joe & Steven; ‘Connect!’ Super bitch Aunt Sally, self congratulatory RTD and Manning, our hearts are broken, Britbox’s Bing Bong thingy, flaming maggots, ‘here kitty kitty’, a devastating ten minute coda and of course a massive explosion.
Joe & Steven and the synopsis of Death! A love of spinning tape technology, but questioning whether the evil here should have been fantastical, rather than simply human. More Pertwee, Manning and UNIT love. This is peak Doctor Who.
Joe & Steven; Brian Blessed love! We talk about the best TV show ever made…and fail to mention Doctor Who! Finally - a positive Jon Pertwee experience! Prepare yourself for Steve’s Brigadier theory
Joe & Steven; menaced by the fire by a maggot! We talk domestic scenes in Doctor Who, Gruntleigh the Ogron, the inevitability’s of having a recurring cast, ‘the one with the Giant Maggots’ myth and whether Barry Letts was far more interested in the sexes than we thought.
Joe & Steven; armed with Blueprint fit Survival! We discuss the work of Michael E Briant, whether Doctor Who can handle going regional without being offensive, how being emotionless affects an actors ability to act and Steven’s brilliant take on political environmentalism and how the planet is doomed.
Joe & Steven; bright green and dead! What are the resonances between this and Planet of the Spiders? Is Robert Sloman the forgotten Doctor Who writer? And why is this the definitive first episode of Doctor Who? Does this one have it all?
Joe solo! Chills, excitement, ambition, wealth of characters and a huge dollop of fun - Doctor Who is back and it’s better than ever. Let’s talk about it.
Joe & Mark; Blue Peter presenters! We’ve saved the best for last! Mechanoids! Steven! Mechanoids! Hi-fi the Panda! Mechanoids! Firefights! Mechanoids! Heartbreaking goodbyes! The Chase ends on an incredible high.
Faux Joe & Mark; sex therapy in action! Joe goes on a huge journey of self discovery here, from filth bag to Monk in 25 minutes. We’re on Mechnanus, the Daleks are in hot pursuit and all bets are off.
Joe & Mark; going bumpity bumpity in the night. Frankenstein, Dracula, bats, the Grey Lady, spooks, companions left behind, duplicate Doctors…it’s all happening this week!
