Your hosts Josh and Alan continue their journey to the 60th Anniversary with random stops along the way! This week we travel to 2005 for a review of the Paul Cornell story "Father's Day." Rose convinces the Doctor to take her to 1987 to the day that her dad died. Bad idea? Not necessarily. But giving her a second chance at it? Definitely bad idea! "Father's Day" stars Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor, Billie Piper as Rose, Camille Coduri as Jackie and Shaun Dingwall as Pete.

What do you think of "Father's Day"? We'd love to hear from you! If you've enjoyed the show, please leave a comment, review, or rating wherever you're listening! If there's a particular story you'd like to hear us discuss, please let us know at [email protected]!

This week, Josh and Alan get thrown back in time to 19th Century Scotland as they review the Season 22 story, "Timelash" -- and it goes about as well as you might expect it to. "Timelash" is a Sixth Doctor story starring Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant. It has been panned by fandom repeatedly as one of the worst Doctor Who serials of all time. How much does it deserve that reputation? Can the guys find anything likable in the story? Does it make any kind of sense at all? Find out!

After that, Josh recommends a Big Finish audio story that paints the Sixth Doctor and Peri in a much more positive light!

After nearly ending up in the hospital after last week's show, Josh and Alan are back this week to review a hidden gem from the William Hartnell era -- "The Space Museum" from Season Two. In this one, the Doctor, Vicki, Barbara, and Ian arrive on the planet Xeros before they've actually arrived there. What in the world does that mean? It sets up a fascinating mystery that the TARDIS Gang has to solve to prevent a grave future that they've witnessed.

First, we take a look at a couple of news items: The announcement from Big Finish of chapter three of Once and Future, entitled "A Genius For War", and the release of the Unofficial 1997 Annual by TERRAQUEOUS DISTRIBUTORS.

Then Josh takes us to his Spin-Off Media Corner for a recommendation of the Big Finish play "The Rocket Men" as a follow-up from "The Space Museum".

Well, it had to happen eventually -- Josh and Alan have entered the Chris Chibnall era. This week the guys dive into the finale of Series 11 -- "The Battle of Ranskoor av Kolos" -- starring Jodie Whittaker, Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill, featuring the return of Tzim-Sha from Jodie's debut episode. And let's just say ... it goes about as well as expected. Without giving too much away, this one doesn't rate very highly with us.

But before our episode review, we talk about a couple of recent news items: Frazer Hines novelizing (well, sort of) "The Evil of the Daleks," and the return of the glorious Bonnie Langford as Mel in Ncuti Gatwa's debut season!

Then, as a palate cleanser, Josh offers up a recommendation of a Big Finish story that he enjoys.

Hitting the highlights from throughout the history of Doctor Who, this week we jump into the Matt Smith era with "Cold War." And since this episode features the return of Ice Warriors to the program after a 39-year absence, we knew we had to invite our buddy Ashley Raburn in to discuss it with us! We talk about whether this story could have worked with any other monster (particularly a Dalek), the brilliance of David Warner, the Clara character arc, how the New Series updated the Ice Warriors, and a lot more.

And after that, Josh recommends a Big Finish story starring David Warner as the Doctor and Lisa Bowerman as Professor Bernice Summerfield!

So far our journey down the road to Doctor Who's 60th Anniversary has mostly been looking behind at previous episodes -- episodes that paved the path that has brought us this far. But this week we take our first big steps forward into brand-new territory!

First, we review the new trailer that reveals the titles of the upcoming three special episodes starring David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor and Catherine Tate as Donna Noble, and we share our thoughts and predictions for what might be in store for us.

Then, we turn our attention to a new release from Big Finish Productions, the first in their new anniversary series Once and Future, in which the Doctor has been hit by a degeneration weapon and his cycling through some of his past lives. It's called, oddly enough, "Past Lives" and it stars Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor, Sadie Miller as Sarah Jane Smith, Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart, Ingrid Oliver as Osgood, and Rufus Hound as the Meddling Monk. If you haven't heard the story yet, don't worry -- we keep it fully spoiler-free at first, then give a warning before we move into spoiler territory.

During the discussion, Josh and Alan spend a good 10 minutes gushing over the utter brilliance of Patrick Troughton before settling down to discuss liberties taken by the animated reconstructions, how to properly watch the animations, why the Yeti needed to be robots, Scooby Doo villains, and more.

Afterward, Josh gives us a recommendation for another story to check out after "Abominable" in Josh's Spin-Off Media Corner!

As we approach the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary, doing random stops along the timeline to check out highlights from every era of the show, this week we pay a visit to ancient Pompeii -- and it's Volcano Day! That's right: the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble find themselves about to be buried under a river of lava along with 20,000 other people in "The Fires of Pompeii". Your hosts (Josh and Alan) have a completely unscripted, unplanned discussion about this Series Four episode. But do we like it? During the discussion we bring up abstract history vs. personal history, fixed points in time (and whether they are actually fixed), the silliness of squirt guns, how the story should have gone, and much more.

First, we talk about the announcement that Murray Gold is returning to the show, and then we stick around Pompeii a little longer as Josh recommends Big Finish's "The Fires of Vulcan" featuring the Seventh Doctor and Mel.

This week Josh and Alan have a lively discussion about the opening story of Season 8, Jon Pertwee's second season on Doctor Who, "Terror of the Autons"! While we both like the story overall, it does bring with it its own set of problems that will become part of the template of the Pertwee era. This is a story of great change -- we have new characters coming in, a brand new major villain, and a whole new tone and direction for the show.

First, though, we talk about BBC Books' newly announced upcoming series with each book set in one of the decades that Doctor Who has been around -- and they don't always feature the Doctors you'd expect they would! Then, we pay a visit to Josh's Spin-Off Media Corner to talk about a Big Finish story and a much earlier BBC Books' novel, both of which feature the Autons.
