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

June 29, 2021 Talks to Steven Alexander about his choice of The Daleks (5/7)
Joe & Steven; orgasmic screams on anti radiation drugs. This is it. The reveal of the forbidden letter of the Dalek language, the great insult, and a revelation that shakes Joe to his core. Also, news in about the planet Selturis and their ruler Redlin the Just.

June 28, 2021 Talks to Steven Alexander about his choice of The Daleks (4/7)
Joe & Steve; banging on invisible walls. Which Dalek has the shittest day ever? What is a Bringdigulum? Which Thal has the best chest hair? What do you use to lure your enemies in in a radioactive pandemic? Steven’s golden age SF research reaches peak interest.

June 27, 2021 Talks to Steven Alexander about his choice of The Daleks (3/7)
Joe & Steven; high on drugs. What connects the Thals and Neighbours? Is there anything as terrifying as a Dalek voice? What is the worst book of all time? What are Terry Nation’s strengths? Steven researches!

June 26, 2021 Talks to Steven Alexander about his choice of the The Daleks (2/7)
Joe & Steve; our legs, our legs...we can’t move our legs! This week we’re obsessed with Doctor Who’s new monsters; all sticks and bumps and shrieking voices! We’ve never seen anything on TV like this before. We’re entranced.

June 25, 2021 Talks to Steven Alexander about his choice of The Daleks (1/7)
Joe & Steve; in love with black and white. An Arial shot of Skaro? Who is the fifth member of the TARDIS crew? What is Doctor Who’s first spectacular effects shot? Why is there a bicycle in the TARDIS? It was the silly old Doctor all along!

June 24, 2021 Talks to Jason Miller about his choice of Warriors of the Deep (4/4)
Joe & Jason; there should have been another way. The rousing conclusion of this contentious commentary. The Doctor is a murderer; is Jason right and it is dramatically justified or is Joe right and it is the most appalling lapse of judgement? ‘Excellent Sauvix!’
37 min
June 23, 2021 Talks to Jason Miller about his (brave) choice of Warriors of the Deep (3/4)
Joe & Jason; you’ll get no help out of me, Silurian! Jason is back and fighting; with excerpts from Jonny Byrne and the Target novel. Joe is unimpressed by the stagnant action scenes. So much is going on and we both agree that there is only one person to blame: Margaret Thatcher!

June 22, 2021 Talks to Jason Miller about his choice of Warriors of the Deep (2/4)
Joe & Jason face the Myrka! Jason is riding high on his defence (sorry, celebration) of part one and Joe’s argument (despite being backed by the entire production crew) is waning. And then we are faced with a wobbly mattress and snotty Dobbin and the tables start to turn...
30 min
June 21, 2021 Battles with Jason Miller about his glorious choice of Warriors of the Deep (1/4)
Joe & Jason; opposing power blocs! Is Warriors of the Deep a spectacular failure or a triumph against the odds? Is the floodlit lighting deliberate? Do the Sea Devils look like enormous peni? Is Pennant Robert’s direction lacking or genius? Let battle commence!
33 min
June 19, 2021 Talks to Mark Rawlins about his choice of The Three Doctors (4/4)
What would the Doctors say interviewing their companions? We rewrite season ten to spectacular effect. Mark manages to say at least three positive things about the story. Is Doctor Who (not MCU) the only show to bring out such an epic, mythic pantomime?
