June 07, 2021 Talks to Lucy McCaul about her choice of The Claws of Axos (3/4)
Joe & Lucy; which is it to be Brigadier? The right Doctor for the right time? Favourite Brig moments, intrusive music, the truth about Kent landscape, a sardonic, frustrated Master, a knackered TARDIS and a new scientific advisor. ‘Stick tape on the windows, that sort of thing.’

Joe & Lucy; ❤️s Adric, Mike Yates, Turlough and the Master. Lamenting human greed, dramatic expediency, realistic direction vs insane writing, nuclear Armageddon incoming, and hideous duvet creatures! Axos! Axonite! It’s all the same thing!

Joe & Lucy; destruct, destruct, destruct! Overdone Chinns, rubber chicken spaceships, a prickly Doctor, sexy soldiers, insane spaceship interiors, digestible tramps and woolly Axon Man. We don’t need mind altering drugs watching this!

June 04, 2021 Talks to Colin Neal about his choice of The Ultimate Foe (2/2)
Joe & Colin; releasing ourselves from the misguided maxims that you nurture can we be free! Ronald McDonald at rave, the Doctor hamming it up, Pip’n’Jane lexicographical education, Sidney Carton heroics (?), and a megabyte modem!

June 03, 2021 Talks to Colin Neal about his choice of The Ultimate Foe (1/2)
Joe & Colin; with evidence that may halt this Trial immediately. If you hate the Trial, look elsewhere! We’re hugely enamoured with the twists, the atmosphere, the guests actors, the magnificent Colin Baker and an arc before they were done throwing out incredible surprises. Now we’re getting at the dirt!

May 31, 2021 Talks to Mark McManus about his choice of The Happiness Patrol (3/3)
Joe & Mark; where people know how to enjoy themselves! We talk extensively about coming out as Doctor Who fans. We’re troubled by the scene in the Forum, but are blissfully in love with the final confrontation. We both want a proper Kandy Man sequel. Happiness will Prevail!

May 30, 2021 Talks to Mark McManus about The Happiness Patrol (2/3)
Joe & Mark; we can’t do anything without our list now, can we? An obscene amount of love for the Kandyman, an intoxicating mixture of light and dark, why Helen A is more competent than Boris Johnson & gorgeous, fruity, very quotable dialogue.

May 29, 2021 Talks to Mark McManus about his choice of The Happiness Patrol (1/3)
Joe & Mark; have a nice death! Mark is a podcast host so we share mutual questions. A tooled up hen party, theme tune tales, the joy of humanoid villains, Ace and her female companions, a love of Sylvester McCoy and a fabulous way to die.

May 28, 2021 Talks to the magnificent Nathan Bottomley about his choice of Delta and the Bannermen (3/3)
Joe & Nathan; where love has never been known for its rationality. Real 50s tunes, Joe gets horny, the Doctor has a gorgeous entourage, there’s a spectacularly silly and funny climax and a touching, thoughtful and uplifting coda. Here’s to the future!

May 27, 2021 Talks to Nathan Bottomley about his choice of Delta and the Bannermen (2/3)
Joe & Nathan; not the Happy Hearts Holiday Club from Bolton. Delta, the template for NuWho? We discuss the series’ greatest romances. We’re bewitched by Keff, the sunshine, the airiness and the action. Love is the answer.
