Nostalgia Tours

It’s Christmas, so what better time to sit down with Three Kings of podcasting and watch five Doctor Who specials?

So join Jim Allenby, Jeff Goddard and Melvin Peña, as we take on K9 and Company, The Unquiet Dead, The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe, The Return of Doctor Mysterio and The Church on Ruby Road. Watch out for ominous goats!

Fire up your Range Rovers and Jaguar Coupes, and join us in the world of The New Avengers!

David Gillespie-Pratt and Daniel Knight take the assignment, and investigate The Eagle’s Nest, The Last of The Cybernauts, Target! and Gnaws, and pass judgement on the adventures and escapades of Steed, Purdey and Gambit. Keep avenging!

A massive ‘welcome back’ to the brilliant Tim Burrows from the Missing Episodes podcast, together with the lovely Paul Dunn. And what a selection of stories for them to consider! The Web Planet, The Enemy of the World, The Rebel Flesh / Almost People, and The Robot Revolution. From black and white to very OTT technicolour! But which will triumph?

Proud Welshman Jon Arnold leaps back onto the bus for his very own Charter Flight! And Wales is important here, as Jon discusses how well the country is (or isn’t!) represented in Who. We also shine a light on 1970’s writers, exemplar moments in the Matt Smith era, NuWho pseudo-historicals and single episodes of the Davison era. A total delight!

It’s the long-awaited return of both Jeff Goddard and Phil Newman! And there are mixed receptions for all the stories that have been chosen for their assessment and analysis - The Three Doctors, Revenge of the Cybermen, Extremis and Lucky Day. But which will triumph with a slew of handshakes, and which will be gathering up all the P45s? Find out…

It’s time for another Charter Flight! And this week, we’ll be visiting the choices of playwright, screenwriter, audio writer, comic book writer, film journalist and lecturer, Ian Winterton. But where will we be heading? Stay tuned….

What a top-notch pairing! The glorious combo of Mark Dodyk and Andrew F jump back on the bus, to take on Death To The Daleks, The Invasion of Time, The Sontaran Stratagem / Poison Sky and The Name of the Doctor. Will one of these stories get a proper kicking, whilst still being showered with praise? (hint: yes!). And which story is too ‘meat and potatoes’? Find out!

We’re heading back to Blake’s 7 in the company of experts. Firstly, welcome Jonathan Helm, writer and researcher on the magnificent Blake’s 7 Production Diaries (which may get the odd reference here). And secondly, it’s hello to John Isles from the I Don’t Do Sci-Fi podcast. Together, we’ll explore Space Fall, Weapon, Ultraworld and Orbit, and decide which deserves most love!

Join the effervescent, irrepressible, unique Joumana as we head off on her very own Charter Flight. As a more recent convert to Who, what will Joumana make of the Second Doctor, or indeed, the writers from the 1980s? We also come bang up-to-date by looking at Jodie’s best moments, and the worst characters from the Ncuti era! Wonderful fun!

A divisive quartet of stories generates strong opinions from magnificent guests, Lucy McCaul and Matt Sawyer. So join us as we explore the worlds, characters, storylines and looks of The Brain of Morbius, Mark of the Rani, Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel and Joy to the World. But which will get the biggest kicking?
