We're back for our first post-lockdown Doctor Who podcast! This time, James McLean and Christian Cawley discuss the best "worst" Doctor Who stories, and there's also news of a new website project, Sol3.

We're back with another podcast, taking a look at the recent developments in the Doctor Who fan community during lockdown.

Join your hosts Christian Cawley, James McLean, and Brian Terranova as they look at tweetalongs and other ways Doctor Who fans can deal with enforced downtime.

Take care out there, Kasterborites - we'll be back soon.

Join us as we look back on the opening episode of the Fifth Doctor's era, as Peter Davison makes his first full appearance as Doctor Who.

James McLean and Brian Terranova are your hosts - why not get your DVD or streaming service ready and watch along with them?

Doctor Who Series 12 has finished - but what did we make of The Timeless Children? Despite leaks and spoilers aplenty, it managed to surprise. But does it offer a brand new direction for Doctor Who beyond the hodge-podge of ideas?

Christian Cawley and James McLean work it out.

Wow. That was a cliffhanger, wasn't it? In terms of Series 12, it is certainly where everything changes - but before we get to The Timeless Children, we need to talk about Ascension of the Cybermen. Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova, and James McLean have put their heads together and produced what can only be described as a very low-tech Cyberium.

(Quick reminder: we're taking a break for a few weeks in mid-March. Don't fret - we're be back after Easter. In the meantime, look out for some classic podcasts and old articles republished on the website.)

Doctor Who rumbles towards the end of Series 12 with this "base under siege" type episode - but this time, it seems the base itself, Villa Diodati on the bank of Lake Geneva, is the enemy!

Hear James McLean and Brian Terranova's thoughts, feelings, and reactions to The Haunting of Villa Diodati, and the Doctor's encounter with the future Mary Shelley, along with Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, and Mary's step-sister Claire Clairmont - as well as the haunting figure of the Lone Cyberman!

Listen out, too, for how The Haunting of Villa Diodati conflicts and contrasts with other stories set in the same location on the same night from the Big Finish catalogue.

Christian Cawley, James McLean, and Brian Terranova reconvene for another in-depth chat about the latest episode of Doctor Who. Can You Hear Me? is an episode featuring a mix of time travel, classic-style villains, and a message of the week. Is the topical aspect of the show too heavy handed, as many have suggested? Or is there more to that approach?

Hopefully we're some way to scratching at the answer to this question. Meanwhile, there is plenty more to talk about, not least the falling ratings of Doctor Who. What can the BBC do about it, short of forcing people to watch the TVs that they pay for and petition the government to ban Netflix?

We jest... or do we? There's only one way to find out - hit play!

This week's Doctor Who episode is Praxeus, in which the show takes another Lettsian view of man's relationship with the planet Earth. But was the message too heavy handed, or did it work as part of the plot?

Christian Cawley and Brian Terranova discuss this point and many others on this week's podcast. PLUS: Nicholas Parsons and Rotten Tomatoes.

What? What?! WHAT?! So we're midway through Doctor Who Series 12 and we've just been given a curveball the like of which has never been seen in the show. Judoon, the return of Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), a buried TARDIS, a fugitive hiding on earth, a new incarnation of the Doctor... and more mystery about Gallifrey. 

Standard episodes just don't do that, do they? But who was watching beyond the legion of Doctor Who fans? Sunday night, a perennial TV favorite on the other side... it takes a massive star to combat a show like Dancing on Ice.

So it is with a certain amount of excitement and trepidation that Christian Cawley, James McLean, and Gareth Kavanagh got together this week to discuss Fugitive of the Judoon...

What did you think of Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror? Hold that thought, then ask yourself the more important question: what did *we* think of Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror? Doctor Who Series 12 has been a mixed bag so far, but was Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror the fizzy cola bottle or the unfizzy cola bottle?

It's the PodKast with a K, in which forty-something male, pale, and stale anoraks chat largely about Doctor Who, a show they've no professional experience of but have nevertheless spent a large chunk of four decades watching.

This week, Christian Cawley (a man who plays with phones for money) is joined by the ever-indecisive James McLean and swish trans-Atlantic man-about-suburbs Brian A. Terranova. We're here to reaffirm and challenge your opinions on Doctor Who in equal measure.

Ready? Hit play!
