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

March 23, 2022 Talks to Si Hart about their love of Invasion of the Bane
Step up, laugh and quote with Joe & Si as they step into the glorious world of The Sarah Jane Adventures. So many beautiful men, glorious colours, smart kids and a heroine for the ages. We’re just delirious about this show.
1 hr 23 min
March 21, 2022 Talks to Mark Dodyk about his choice of Mummy on the Orient Express
Joe & Mark; in the train carriage, with the mummy rags. Mark struggled with this season, but this was his salvation. Much talk of the new, crabby Doctor, his fascinating relationship with Clara and the sheer verve and style of what is on display. The best Capaldi episode?
1 hr 5 min
March 18, 2022 Talks to the fabulous Lucy McCall about her choice of School Reunion
Joe & Lucy; and a hell of a tribute to Lis Sladen. So much to enjoy here; Anthony Head’s villain, creepy monsters, a memorable setting, emotional and great gags, and a fannish David Tennant getting his teeth into the role. A perfect bridge between classic and Nu Who.
1 hr 7 min
March 16, 2022 Talks to Steven B from New to Who about his choice of Tooth and Claw
Joe & Steven; falling in love with the Doctor and Rose and series 2! Why is this the modern day Horror of Fang Rock? What about the direction? And why is this Steven’s favourite season of NuWho? A joy to watch, and discuss.
1 hr 4 min
March 12, 2022 Talks to Si Hart & Frazer Gregory about Frazer’s choice of Victory of the Daleks
Joe & Si & Frazer; and the most contentious commentary yet. Si thinks this starts well but ends terribly. Frazer thinks this is better than it’s reputation. Now thinks this a load of old irresponsible tripe. Bring on the fireworks…and the laughs!
1 hr 12 min
March 10, 2022 Talks to Frazer Gregory & Simon Hart about Frazer’s choice of Robot of Sherwood
Joe & Frazer & Si and half of the hamfam; all singing, all dancing, all critiquing! It’s early Capaldi in the firing line and we’re entranced by pretty pictures, heroics legends, wit and warmth. Is it Hollywood history? The best ever Hamster intro ❤️
1 hr 8 min
March 09, 2022 Talks to Jason Thompson about his choice of The Daleks’ Masterplan (4/12)
Joe & Jason; remembering one of the daughters of the Gods. We cover the death of companions in some depth. Is it responsible? Dramatic? Impactful? Should it happen at all? Has this been bettered?
27 min
March 08, 2022 Talks to Jason Thompson about his choice of The Daleks’ Masterplan (3/12)
Joe & Jason; waiting for the hair raising climax to this episode. We talk the length of this story, the nature of padding in Doctor Who and why and how this story presents Doctor Who’s core concepts better than any other story. Grumpy William Hartnell ahoy!
33 min
March 04, 2022 Talks to Jason Thompson about his choice of The Daleks’ Masterplan (2/12)
Joe & Jason; in fear of the conquest of the universe! We’re heading to Kembel to the great space conference of universal powers! And even more shocking…moving pictures! This is the best surviving episode and we count ourselves very lucky to be able to see it.
28 min
March 02, 2022 Talks to Jason Thompson about his choice of The Daleks’ Masterplan (1/12)
Joe & Jason; beginning the nightmare. Much discussion of the wonderful William Hartnell and the MVP of this story; director Douglas Camfield. This really shouldn’t work and it works exceptionally well.
