A Hamster With a Blunt Penknife - a Doctor Who Commentary podcast episodes

August 31, 2021 Talks to Greg Miller about his choice of Spearhead from Space (2/4)
Joe & Greg; lost inside episode two episode one! Is this story really about Meg Seeley and her struggle with gooey faced facsimile? Is the Brigadier the lead now? We marvel at how charming Jon Pertwee is when he finally gets some extended dialogue. Creepy dolls abound.

August 30, 2021 Talks to his royal guests Greg Miller about his choice of Spearhead from Space (1/4)
Joe & Greg; comically playing with wheelchairs! It’s all change for Doctor Who, and 9 year old Greg is very happy with the new format. A mute Doctor, chilling villain, flashy direction and some real scares. ‘Unhand me madam!’

August 29, 2021 Talks to the disarming Mark McManus about his choice of Deep Breath
Joe & Mark; podcasters join forces! Mark loves this and he’s so charming in his exploration of why that by the end of commentary you probably will too. I loved recording this; Capaldi, Coleman and Moffat love abounds.

August 27, 2021 Tries to distract superstar Mark Rawlins from taking about his choice of Hide
Joe & Mark; in person and enjoying each other’s company immensely. Will Mark ever get to talk about Hide? Not if Joe has anything to do about it. Much diversions, deviations, naughty observations and irreverence ahead. Occasionally a defence of Hide!

August 26, 2021 Talks to Matt Michael about his choice of Time and the Rani (4/4)
Joe & Matt; how could we top episodes 1-3 for pleasure? A thrilling climax, high stakes, endlessly quotable lines, a Tetrap army and bangle action! Would this make a satisfying Colin climax? Matt and I seal our relationship.

August 25, 2021 Talks to Matt Michael about his choice of Time and the Rani (3/4)
Joe & Matt; increasing the stimulation. We cast the first six Ranis! The prequel story of the Ood brain revealed! The tragic tale of Shomi the cat! And Sylvester McCoy doing something obscene! All this and more! Ann? Fagetta!

August 24, 2021 Talks to Matt Michael about his choice of Time and the Rani (2/4)
Joe & Matt; more tongue action. More talk about how glorious Sylvester McCoy is in S24, more laughing with this wonderfully funny script, more admiration for the production value. This is blissfully enjoyable.

August 23, 2021 Talks to the outrageous flirt Matt Michael about his choice of Time and the Rani (1/4)
Joe & Matt; obscene sexual content! Accessible, camp, fun, quirky and deliriously funny; we come not to bury Time and the Rani but to praise it! What would a Pip’n’Jane script edited season look like? One of the best ever cliffhangers?

August 22, 2021 Talks to Nathan Bottomley about his choice of The Ribos Operation (4/4)
Joe & Nathan; all but one doomed to die… Why have Doctor Who stars stopped coming to Australia? Why is Joe wrong about continuity? And what dark moment does Nathan break the sound system with his laughter? We couldn’t be more in love…and with the story too 😆

August 21, 2021 Talks to Nathan Bottomley about his choice of The Ribos Operation (3/4)
Joe & Nathan; exchanging outrageous tales whilst banged up. Which Tom is best Tom? Will Nathan hit peak laughter in this blackly funny episode? Are villains more interesting than monsters? Binro the heretic; the best supporting character? The Seeker; the maddest ever performance?
