Nostalgia Tours

Enjoy an extended Charter Flight with the delightful Alex Wilcock! We talk Troughton guest characters, individual episodes from the Graham Williams era, JNT stunt casting, Eccleston performers and Ncuti moments – with surprises and shocks at every turn. And more than a few tangents…

What a joyful journey, as top guests Jon Arnold and Mark Dodyk jump onboard the bus for a whizz around The Mind of Evil, Terminus, Oxygen and The Power of the Doctor. But who or what will be getting the now-famous Nostalgia Tours handshakes? Maybe, this time, it’s not so obvious…

It’s time for another detour! Join Jim Allenby and Eliza Hemming, as we explore the twisted time corridors of Sapphire and Steel, focusing on Adventures One to Three. From an old remote house, to an abandoned railway station, and finally a time-travelling apartment, there’s plenty to discover and enjoy!

What an absolute delight to welcome Andrew F back onto the bus, for his very own Charter Flight. And this time, not only is it personal (VERY personal at times!), but it’s also a Charter Flight with a twist. Because all the categories are based around Mr Jon Pertwee, the Third Doctor. So expect plenty of Venusian aikido, moment of charm, and CSO! Enjoy!

How bumpy will THIS ride be? Well, with Dan Pinn and John Bensalhia onboard, there are bound to be some strong opinions and divided voting, especially when your options are as diverse as Terror of the Autons, Warriors’ Gate, Gridlock and The Husbands of River Song. Let battle commence!

Expect high emotion, brilliant insight, unique takes and some much-needed laughs in-between, as the truly delightful Melvin Peña jumps on the bus. What will Melvin’s reappraisal of the Jodie Whittaker years mean for the guest actors? Which classic companion gets the most heartbreaking departure? And who’s the best guest writer in Moffat’s Who? Find out…

There are plenty of strong opinions on the bus this week, as you’d expect when your guests are Jo “Officially Lovely” Short and Luke “Dark Places” Sims-Jenkins. Bu what will they be praising, or condemning, about Frontier In Space, Image of the Fendahl, Tooth and Claw, and Journey to the Centre of the Tardis? Find out….

It’s quiz time!

In the left-hand corner, it’s the (Nostalgia) Tourists, with Dan Hollingsworth as team captain, ably supported by David Lancaster and Matt Sawyer.

And in the right-hand corner, it’s the (What’s in The) Boxers, led by Jim Allenby, with Jeff Goddard and Mark Dodyk.

But who will triumph? Which podcast’s honour will remain intact? Find out…

There’s plenty of contention on this week’s episode, as newcomer Andrew F and familiar friend Gareth Bowley, take issue with a number of the proposed stops for the Nostalgia Tours bus. But what could possibly cause such dissent when we’re simply chatting about The Dalek Invasion of Earth, Nightmare of Eden, Planet of the Ood and The Snowmen? Find out…

After a break of 38 years, Dr Tim Rideout and Rod once again get chance to chat all things Who! But who, or what, will be receiving Tim’s handshakes and P45s, and will his love for crime thrillers and gothic literature affect his selection? Some wonderful choices ensue…
