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

Join Joe & Steven A as they grapple with mechanical pussies, Puss in Boots and a homecoming for Ace. In the first 7th Doctor commentary, we talk about suspense, late 80s representation, celebrity guest stars and whether sex belongs in Doctor Who or not.

Join Joe & Steven as they head 30,000 years into the future to the time of the solar flares! Why is the horror homage approach so successful? Why are the Doctor, Sarah and Harry the ultimate TARDIS team? Noah’s possession is the scariest thing ever.

Join Joe & Steven as they dive into the dayglow 70s of army mullets, satanic villains and slavish CSO! We love Jo and the Master, the Doctor is being a prick, and we discuss how this era salvaged and ensured the future of Doctor Who.

Join Joe & Steven as they land on the Moon and avoid the coffee! Our experiment to see how episodes change direction of the show continues...Troughton is taking the show seriously, base under siege is in and overt horror is the order of the day.

Join Joe & Steven as they shake up the format and tackle episodes that changed the format of Doctor Who! We comment on the Unaired pilot, discuss how sinister the Doctor is, the lack of format and the magic of Doctor Who compressed into 25 minutes.

Join Joe & Tum as they square up to the ultimate Dalek Diva - the Supreme Dalek! Dare you take on Jo & Latep, the Musical? Ft tracks 'You can climb my rope', 'Do you hear the Thals sing?' and 'Jellicle Daleks!' Also, a reading from Joe from the novelisation as we compare the production to the prose. Why is this the ultimate comfort Who?

Join Joe and Tum as they switch alarmingly between studio jungle and filmed inserts by an icy riverbank! Are we sufficiently involved in the fate of Prentis Handcock? Snog, marry avoid the first, second and third Doctors? Are Zippy and George from Rainbow genuine guest stars? And why is this the lamest cliffhanger in the whole story?

Join Joe & Tum as they attempt to escape from the Dalek city by defying science but expounding creativity! We can see lots of production errors, but that doesn't stop this being the best possible escapism. Who does babbling better than Katy Manning? Is the third Doctor patronising or charming? And what is Bernard Horsfall's best performance?

Join Joe & Tum as they prepare to head up a shaft with Jon Pertwee and three others! What do we think of the colourisation? Is this the best episode of the story? And are icecanos real (Joe does research!).

Join Joe & Tum as they re-enact The Daleks episode two in the day glow 70s! What happened to the Doctor and Jo after this adventure with Big Finish? Does Jon Pertwee have a rod up his butt? What are our favourite and least favourite Pertwee’s.
