Another extra special epipod. Who are the good guys?

Probably not me and chevron.

An investigation into the rules ethics of doctor who.

Diskgrinder's number one son tells it like it is.

Yes he, killed the half face man.

Chevron drops a morality bomb: is psychological torture far worse than physical torture?

And it becomes clear my son is the black grauniad.

Good and evil in doctor who

Story Yelling

 Again we name check the No Complications blog which features literary criticism, classical scholarship and fun and games.

Shapes.

Chevron is talking bollocks. Just Google it.

Dissonance, it seems apt.

Drama in acts, you might not agree, but it's worth looking at Freytag's Pyramid. MORE SHAPES!

It's called acting.

Dr Joann Fletcher's Life and Death in the Valley of the Kings is well worth a watch if you're that way inclined.,

When it comes to ancient Greek comedy, the old'uns are always the best. What little we have of the 'new' ones are... completely subjectively... shite.

Dyskolos (also known as Miserable Old Bastard) was performed c.316 BCE (310 BCE was a good guess) and penned by Miranda Hart Menander. It isn't big, clever or funny.

And she's off.

Aristophanes' Wasps is magnificent. That's indisputable. It's not a question of taste. It's bloody brilliant.

Cocks, cocks, cocks.

Unsurprisingly, what we do shabbily in one hour is summed up beautifully by Sesame Street in three minutes.

And they got there first... by roughly forty years.

It's all bollocks. All of it. Back to Doctor Who next time. Promise.

A digression

A binro was right extra

Bully for you

In this very special episode Chevron and diskgrinder go another round with the cleverest people they know; taking the opportunity to pick their brains and mine their memories.

Very clever, what you said

Brace yourselves for the oncoming horror that is... ladders.

Any randy

Hastily captioned screenshots to illustrate headcanon.

Cambridge Latin Course, the national curriculum's dead language handbook.

Chevron was using 'Libertarianism' in the most basic sense of personal freedom and autonomy, diskgrinder was working on the modern interpretations and appropriations of the term that are associated with anarchy, capitalism and selfishness. Unfortunately this was only cleared up once we were off mic. Carry on, nothing to see here.

Atlas Shrugged, a 1957 novel by diskgrinder's pin-up, Ayn Rand.

Hurrumble for Bleak Expectations!

Genocide is not a verb, it's a noun. A nasty noun.

Cybermen vs. daleks

Diskgrnder belatedly understands he should shut up.

Death is not the end

Yes, we know what la petite mort means. Get your minds out of the gutter.

We miss you Nicholas Courtney, especially as this epipod was recorded pre-CyberBrig.

Buy Home Truths from Big Finish.

Just a Minute is a long running Radio 4 panel show in which contestants are challenged to speak on a subject for a sixty seconds without hesitation, deviation or repetition.

Steve Coogan's swimming pool supervisor character is from The Day Today. And what we can take from this is that nobody should ever question Chevron ever at all ever.

William Hartnell's 'I am not a dog' fluff is actually in The Thing of the Thing, also known as The Daleks' Master Plan.

Jean Marsh appeared thrice, yes thrice, in The Crusade, The Daleks' Master Plan and Battlefield.

Mike Yates, as we all know, keeps cropping up until Planet of the Spiders.

Perfume - One Room Disco (Chevron likes the one in the shorts)

After recording we re-watched In the Forest of the Night together and diskgrinder decided he liked it after all.

You've seen more of Rachel Talalay's work than you think you have.

Much respect, affection and contrition to the marvellous Rob of the Who Wars Podcast.

Matthew Waterhouse and Big Finish.

Why do you gotta play that song so loud?

We look up to all of them. Except Ronnie Corbett, even Chevron is taller than him.

P.R.O.B.E

Catherine Tate's 'Nan' (with bonus Helen A). Chevron still thinks it's bobbins.

The Bechdel Test is associated more with film than with television. A not at all comprehensive list of films and how well they fare can be found here.

Criticism of the Bechdel test can be found... everywhere that common sense prevails.

The Wizards of Delight - Time Travel Lady

Everything Chevron said is irrelevant, obviously. She is but a woman.

Chevron unfairly described BYU-Idaho as unaccredited. This is incorrect, the institution has been accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges. It does, however, insist that staff and students adhere to an honour code that includes temperance, abstaining from pre-marital sex and Section 28-esque rejection of homosexuality.

We didn't discuss the Sisterhood of Karn because we're negligent.
