The Randomiser: Unpredictable Doctor Who Chat

Episode 28: The Fly Metaphor


Listen Later

We're back, less coherent, more forgetfulness and 37.9% less erudite. You wouldn't have it any other way. Or if you would, you've yet to write and tell us.

This time: hear Tim's pitch to Big Finish, find out what Chas did to the Germans, and join us in delighting in the Fly Metaphor.

Content warning: Brief reference to abuse. Skip from 26 minutes to 27 minutes to avoid it.

Regular Features:

Your Cheatin' Memory

Each episode we use therandomiser.net to choose a random Doctor Who story and see what we can recall about it. Then we go away and rewatch it to discuss next time.

This episode, we've just rewatched: po lo blo no flo to sho plo fo sho fo kro ro flo
(That's in Judoon, courtesy of judoon.com, where you can translate it back to English if you want to know the episode we discussed.)

Challenge!

Chaz has been challenged to finally watch The Mutants... But something's up with the fluid links...

Box of Delights

A randomly chosen rewatch of a delightful old TV show. This time we've Ghostwatched - The pipes the pipes are calling us...

Tangents!

A Rift in Time for the Tomorrow People sees a bit more dangerously competent writing, at least for a moment or two. Hopefully this sort of thing won't be allowed to continue.

Monster by Monster

We randomly select a few of the show's monsters and aliens and say things about them. If we can remember anything.

We welcome your thoughts and feedback!
