June 01, 2022 Talks to Gary Russell about his choice of The Sensorites (2/6)
Joe & Gary; discussing the nature of soap operas through the years and how that relates to The Sensorites! There’s no soap left unturned! It’s the rarest of things, an episode of a commentary podcast where we barely discuss the episode unfolding.

May 30, 2022 Talks to Gary Russell about his choice of The Sensorites (1/6)
Joe & Gary; in love with sixties Doctor Who. At this point we have lots of lovely things to say about The Sensorites; from the performances to the immediacy to the stunning cliffhanger.

May 28, 2022 Talks to Jason Thompson about his choice of The Daleks’ Masterplan (6&7)
Joe & Jason; Christmas special double bill! Can Doctor Who spend an entire 25 minutes knocking up a fake bit of gubbins to fool the Daleks and then follow it up of a Christmas pantomime? Oh yes they can!

May 21, 2022 Talks to Jason Thompson about his choice of The Daleks’ Masterplan (5/12)
Joe & Jason; facing the trippiest transported through space special effects of all time! We’re confused by some episode titles, and also what the hell happened to Karlton, but we love Jean Marsh and her almost companion status (or actual companion status)

May 20, 2022 Talks to Si Hart & Frazer Gregory about The Two Doctors (3/3)
Joe & Si & a very rude Frazer; finally cutting out all this politeness bollocks and disagreeing with each other! It’s a tricky episode; blood, cyanide and stabbings - Joe loves it, Si and Frazer are less sure. Let the carnage begin!

May 16, 2022 Talks to Frazer Gregory & Si Hart about Twitter’s choice of The Two Doctors (2/3)
Joe & Si and Frazer; discussing just how far Doctor Who can go. Three guys; one troublesome story, lots of opinions. However we find more up like than not; from the sets to the location to the biting humour and the terrific acting.

May 15, 2022 Talks to Pete Lambert about his choice of The Stones of Blood 🩸 (4/4)
Joe & Pete; questioning whether a story can take a lurch into slapstick. There’s still much to love; witticisms, campness, a clever use of the Key and more Amelia. Cosy teatime Who at its finest.

May 13, 2022 Talks to Pete Lambert about his choice of The Stones of Blood 🩸(3/4)

May 11, 2022 Talks to Pete Lambert about his choice of The Stones of Blood 🩸 (2/4)
Joe & Pete; Untoppable (at least one of us is…) Cosy cottages, Good Life characters sacrificed to living stones, brandished truncheons, Shirley Bassey, K.9’s guts…this one has it all!
