Joe & Mark; out of control! Why is Rupunzel the ultimate companion? Who is the Master? Why is Mark so horny watching Jamie climbing rocks? Why is Joe quoting Pride and Prejudice? And is Bleak House a modern day drama?

February 03, 2022 Talks to Mark Rawlins about his choice of The Mind Robber (2/5)
Joe & Mark; suffering from the pox! A deep dive into surrealism and humour, with some clever set pieces and mad creativity. You might think after the incredible first episode that we would be less impressed, but we are in awe of how this story improvises.

February 01, 2022 Talks to Mark Rawlins about his choice of The Mind Robber (1/5)
Joe & Mark; coming to the conclusion that this is the best Doctor Who episode of all time. This is weird with a beard, and scary, and funny. All hell is breaking loose in the TARDIS and we are completely there for it.

January 10, 2022 Talks to Jeff Goddard about his choice of The Curse of Peladon (4/4)
Joe & Jeff; lost in conversation and barely aware that The Curse of Peladon exists! Is this story slow? Jeff explains what that isn’t a problem, and why that links into one of his favourite seasons of Doctor Who. You won’t believe where we are going next…

January 09, 2022 Talks to Jeff Goddard about his choice of The Curse of Peladon (3/4)
Joe & Jeff; trying to decide whether this is science fiction or a historical. A medieval tale with crazy aliens! We talk villainous performances and how they can be poles apart. Jeff is a sensitive man, and Joe drops something very personal in a wonderfully intimate conversation.

January 06, 2022 Talks to Mark Rawlins about his choice of The Five Doctors
Joe & Mark; stuck in a queue at Longleat. What is Flavia’s dirty secret? Who is the ultimate Doctor? Which companions shine? Which version is better? And can this mucky pair make it through without being filthy and celebratory? Great Balls of Fire!

January 04, 2022 Talks to Si Hart about his choice of Nightmare of Eden (4/4)
Joe & Si; putting the worlds to tights about later Tom Baker, shitting over somebody’s good time and why Doctor Who is a massive comfort in moments of stress. One thing is for certain - the flora and the fauna are in ze creeestelll. And so are the villains of the piece.

December 31, 2021 Talks to Si Hart about his choice of Nightmare of Eden (3/4)
Joe & Si; juggling different tones. Hamster has been away for a few weeks, but we’re back and cheekier than ever! We’re loving the wit, the smart dialogue, the twists and turns. We’re less sure about the violence towards women.
