Joe & Si, on the run from UNIT! We deconstruct how fan myths are created, do incredible dinosaur impressions, consider just who might be involved in this conspiracy. Huge love for a stunning first episode, especially the Big Man 🦖
Joe & Pete; they’ve got nothing to lose loss so you better watch out. This is the one; the biggie, the world changer, the big twist. Pete reveals just why the Doctor has been a huge bastard in this story. What do you think?
Joe & Pete face psychotic Morris Dancers! When did Pete’s balls drop? Why does this episode look so much better than the others? And has anyone else been tricked into thinking this is the end of the story? A truly chilling cliffhanger.
Joe & Pete; terrified by gargoyles in body stockings. Is this the horniest story? With horns. How do you effectively tackle episode three exposition? More suspense about Pete’s ultimate Daemons theory (due in episode five). And how many aliens have thrown their hands in on humanity’s progression?
Joe & Pete; UNIT specialists. Is it like the Carry On films, Night of the Demon, Talons of Weng-Chiang or is it just fantastic folk horror? Who’s the most handsome member of UNIT and why is it Jon Pertwee? Miss Hawthorne is our heroine. ‘My helicopter???!’
Join Joe & Pete as they discover what happened to Canon Smallwood, in mysterious circumstances. Folk horror, wind machines, blinking drinking games, quality cliffhanger, Benton watching Doctor Who, living statues and pure love for the heyday of Doctor Who.
Join Joe & Matt as they always dress for the occasion. An inexplicable info dump of an opening act, a charming middle act and an hectic and baffling last act...so why do we love it so much? Much comment on the Chang Lee/Master chemistry.
Join Joe & Frazer as they bring down the Moroks (off screen, with a huge budget). What do The Phantom Menace, The Dominators and The Space Museum have in common. We’re not keen on the casual explanation for the timeywimeyness but we just adore all the regulars.
Join Joe & Frazer as they have the carry the story because The Doctor is on holiday. We’re baffled by Ida Barr’s appearance on the DVD, admire Ivor Salter’s theatrical performance, Ian’s aggression and Vicki’s somnambulistic revolution.
Join Joe & Frazer, almost men and dangerous! Prepare to have your mind blown as the truth behind the Moroks is finally revealed. If you want to know where they came from, and who sent them out into the universe, you may be surprised. Subversive and revelatory.
