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

August 15, 2023 Hamster Book Club - Original Sin
Join Joe, David, Paul & James as we head to the future to meet Chris & Roz and kick start the last third of the New Adventures. An ambitious setting? A smooth read? Two villains? 15,000 words too long?
1 hr 49 min
August 13, 2023 Talks to David Maskell about his choice of Revelation of the Daleks (1/2)
Joe & David; ‘you’re a very naughty man, Takis…’ David has a fabulous anecdote about every actor in this story. Who swore at a 10 year old? Who is sueing the BBC? Who is a fine Ambassador? Who has done other things apart from Doctor Who? Get the scoop!
1 hr 1 min
August 11, 2023 Talks to the magnificent Toby Hadoke about his choice of Last of the Time Lords
Joe & Toby; ‘and with fifteen satellites!’ A commentary on religion, the Dobby Doctor, magnificent Martha, sexy Tom Ellis, post apocalyptic resets, and murderous Lucy Saxon. LOTS to discuss.
2 hr 5 min
August 09, 2023 Talks to Toby Hadoke about his choice of The Sound of Drums
Joe & Toby; ‘we thought it good…’ Too many riches; a great villain, a culminating season, brilliant regulars, superb direction and music, an apocalypse, set pieces & a great cliffhanger. Oh how we gush!
1 hr 28 min
August 06, 2023 Talks to Jim Allenby about his choice of Can You Hear Me?
Joe & Jim; confessing, confronting & confabulating. A hugely important episode dealing with huge issues and worthy of suitably weighty discussion. We really enjoyed this, but we have reservations. Huge Twitter input was very welcome.
1 hr 57 min
August 04, 2023 Talks to the wonderful Jo Short about her choice of Sleep No More
The two Jo(e)’s; infected, infecting, and you’re coming down with us! Is this the nadir of the new series or an underrated winner? What gold can we sift out of this found footage experiment?
1 hr 12 min
August 02, 2023 Talks to the very cheeky Matt Michael about his choice of Downtime
Joe & Matt; not for the faint hearted! Chris Barry is out of retirement, Lis Sladen is doing him a favour, Debbie Watling has knitted a few Yeti costumes, Miles Richardson has wandered into the set. Is it any good?
1 hr 55 min
July 31, 2023 Talks to Martyn Havell about his choice of Thin Ice
Joe & Martin; ‘that’s not what I asked!’ Where we celebrate the death of a child, a racist being punch and a ruddy great fish that’s eating people being saved. What this doesn’t suggest is just how atmospheric, relaxed and engaging this episode is. One of Capaldi’s best.
1 hr 20 min
July 30, 2023 Talks to James H about his choice of Arc of Infinity (4/4)
Joe & James; ‘I guess you’re stuck with me!’ A dashing finale, taking in all the sights of Amsterdam (plus green goo). Are the Time Lords disposable? Should Tegan have returned? And they do WHAT in Amsterdam?
45 min
July 28, 2023 Talks to James H about his choice of Arc of Infinity (3/4)
Joe & James; ‘Omega controls the Matrix!’ (what the fuck does that mean?). It’s technobabble central, orgasms in the Matrix & a traitor who can barely be arsed to be uncovered. It’s high drama all the way!
