The Daily Ampersand

A podcast introduction and commentary to the Doctor Who episode first broadcast on 11/05/13.

Episode spoilers, obviously, and some scattered swearing from John's side of the room.

A commentary track, and sundry observations, for the Doctor Who episode first broadcast on 04/05/13. Strong language and scenes of horror and throughout.

The French and Saunders House Of Idiot sketch referred to is available here:

Thanks to @_Mellers for that.

A commentary for the Doctor Who episode which first aired on 27/04/13.

We are still doing the sums about whether or not it is the longest title in Who history.

In which John and Lawrence find much to say about the spooky Neil Cross episode of Doctor Who. You can pretty much hear when the caffeine kicks in.

Furniture fetishists, the link you require is this:

And the podcast pie was delicious, thank you.

A commentary to the Doctor Who episode Cold War. Even by our own ramshackle standards the facts are fast and loose here. It is Brendan not Brian Gleeson, obviously. And every time John talks about the movie Xtro he actually means Inseminoid, though Xtro is very good too, he reckons.

Those Game Of Thrones roles in full: Liam Cunningham (Zhukov) plays Davos Seaworth, Tobias Menzies (Stepashin) plays Edmure Tully and Spencer Wilding (Skaldak) plays the White Walker.

A commentary for the eighth episode of the seventh season of Doctor Who. Including a free mnemonic device for how to remember the word Akhaten.

It's back on the telly!

Join us as we gallivant through episode one of the second half of season seven.

Well worth your time.

A follow-up to last week's podcast in which we abandon the already rickety format entirely and just bang on about our favourite episodes from 2005 onwards.

We forget stuff because we are rambly old men. Isn't that right, Chesterfield? Chessington. Chesterman.

Bewildered by the vast array of 1963-89 era Doctor Who stories? Not sure where to start?

Herewith, men and gentleladies, Lawrence and I present our choices of good episodes to jump on with for each of the first seven Doctors.

There is probably swearing. There usually is. Sorry about that.

"Brian Hayles", "Dodo" and "Peter Strickland" are just several of the things you may wish to shout as our basic inability to remember things manifests itself yet again.

John and Lawrence, oblivious to the harsh realities of the calendar, go walking through the winter wonderland of the 2012 Christmas special The Snowmen.

Guest starring: Scott Benson, a splendid and worthwhile American from America!

There is a light smattering of swears and there are some telling moments of silence when Jenna-Louise Coleman is on screen too.
