Doctor WHOdcast

Merry Christmas to all the Doctor WHOdcasters in the universe. Will Charlie and special guest Emma Phelan return to record the first and in our opinions most festive Christmas Special, "The Christmas Invasion"

We discuss Roses' season 1 to season 2 hair, the David Tennant references in the TARDIS wardrobe, How the sycorax look better with the helmet on and how on earth does there whip work, and compare stories of our family traditions when watching the Christmas special

Netflix Synopsis: Rose struggles to overcome her mistrust of the newly regenerated Doctor to help her defeat a malevolent alien that threatens all life on Earth.

On the eve before our Christmas Invasion special, Charlie and Will rewind back through Season 1 of the Doctor WHOdcast with a little help from our friends and co-hosts Alex Wilcox, Chavonne Brown, Faye Lawlor and Tom Thornhill. Yes that's right, it's a  good old fashioned REUNION EPISODE!

NB: In the exporting process the file has been ever so slightly clipped.

It’s the end. But the moment has been prepared for.”

Charlie, Will and returning guest Tom go straight in and dive… into the US election result that was announced the day before recording. And then we talk about one of the best final episodes of a Doctor Who season there has ever been.

Join us as we compare Joe Biden to Wilfred Mott, explore the differences between the finales of Classic Who and Modern Who, talk about that landmark kiss (and no I do not mean the Doctor and Bad Wolf) and scrutinise the episode as a text (thank you Roland Barthes/HP and the Sacred Text).

Netflix Synopsis: With the Daleks’ numbers rejuvenated, the Time War rages, and the Doctor will have to make difficult choices and sacrifices to save lives.

We are back and with returning special guest Faye Lawlor to review the dark buddy comedy that is Boom Town. We talk about the best fart joke of 2005, the best multi-person TARDIS crew, the oddly pipe-cleaner esque egg and the alternate planned version of Episode 11 that made all our jaws drop.

Netflix Synopsis: While in present-day Cardiff to recharge the TARDIS, the Doctor encounters an enemy he thought was dead.

Episode 9 out now and it's our second TWO PARTER SPECIAL. On the podcast this week we are joined by the wonderful Chavonne Brown for the episode that scarred all of us as children and still as adults, Steven Moffat's The Empty Child. 

We talk about the importance of Captain Jack for queer representation on TV, the wonderful guest cast, adorable child actors, Roses T-Shirt, the campness of the colour move and somehow squeeze in more appreciation of the Mox of Balhoon. 

Netflix Synopsis: The Doctor and Rose chase a strange metal cylinder to 1941 wartime London, where homeless kids are terrorised by a gas-masked unearthly child.

Charlie and Will finally meet in person (socially distanced of course) to dote on the brilliant Father's Day. 

We fall in love with Pete Tyler (THE Daddy), continue to chart The Doctor's hatred of men, explicate the nuances of Rose's near perfect cry acting, give some love to Birmingham Drag Legend Ginny Lemon, compare Adam with Wesley Crusher and end by giving an emotional love letter to Christoper Ecclestone

Netflix Synopsis: When Rose alters the course of events and saves her father, she creates a time paradox that unleashes deadly creatures.

This week on the podcast Charlie and Will discuss the most classic Doctor Who episode of the new who series, The Long Game.

We ask if the Doctor is a doctor of medicine, appreciate Christopher Ecclestone's eagerness to hug, invent our own Turn Left(esque) take on the Walking Dead, ponder if Rose and the Doctor are intergalactic swingers, queen out on Simon Pegg and sing the praises of Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Netflix Synopsis: the Doctor, Rose and Adam visit the year 200,000, where Earth's largest broadcast station, Satellite 5, uses mind control over its viewers.

In Part 2 of the Doctor Who Movie, Charlie and Will explore all the different sides to Eric Robert's Master, including Bruce the Terminator, Zombie Master, The Hood from Thunderbirds Master and finally Hades from Disney's Hercules Master. 

We also chat about how Sacha Dwarnan is similar to Jonathan Price's Master, wonder what on earth temporal drift actually is (apart from a need for speed game), and whether Hayden Christensen actually likes sand.
