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

Join Joe & David as they don’t snap their necks, at least not until... Joe is frightened because David loves a good body count, incoming comedy show ‘The Two Bonnie’s’, discussion of Hyperion class design, and Dolly Parton’s new song ‘Doland.’

Join Joe & David as they set sail on the Hyperion III for mayhem & intrigue! Why are Pip’n’Jane underrated? How charming is Colin Baker? And David regales with a tale of the delightful Bonnie Langford.

Join Joe & Nathan as they face down the giant spiders of Death 🕷🕷🕷 Massive love for the look of this episode, a fun villain, icky horror, and a problematic ending. Laughter ensues as spiders attack! 🕷🕷🕷

Join Jason & Joe as they reach the apotheosis of Doctor Who - the trials of Hermack & Clancy! Much love for the stunning production value, discussion of how this almost inspired 70s Who, the terrific guest characters, the spin off show The Milo Clancy Adventures, interviews, charity singles and so much more!

Join Joe & Conrad as they head for the biggest bang in history (yes we are aware, Harry!). Skystrikers, incoming planets and brief conclusions! Will the NMDs ever be kissed?

Join Joe & Conrad as they learnt there’s to be a second campaign! Much discussion of Cyber design, Christopher Robbie, excitement for action in the caves, and Conrad attempts to explain his way through every plot hole with (Cyber) head cannon.

Join Joe & Conrad as they head underground to join in the Vogon civil war. We look into why this story is an uncomfortable fusion of Troughton, Pertwee and Baker, learn about Conrad’s career in Wookey Hole and why Joe fainted in the middle of Edinburgh. Also education, as Conrad teaches us the origin of the word Cyber.

Back by popular demand! Join Joe & Conrad as they head to Voga. Love for Sarah and Harry, scene setting, ranking Cybermat wrangling, and much talk of how a four year old would love this. And will Conrad touch Joe’s Horns of Nimon?

Join Joe & Steven as they run as fast as they can from colliding motorcycles! It’s the end, and we’re sad that it is. 80s council blocks, a brilliant Doctor/Master showdown, and a final speech to move you to tears.

Join Joe & Steven A as they resist their darker sides, and hunt their prey under a pink sun. Lisa Bowerman is doing staggeringly good work, we talk about Ace’s fate and debate the merits (or not) of Sylvester McCoy’s performance. Steven asks an intoxicating question about the desire to go wild.
