The Polis Box

Lee, Dave and Cameron valiantly face down Skype recording quality that, aptly, makes this episode sound as if it's coming out of a 1940s bacolite wireless, as they return to the courtroom and put The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances on trial! Dave and Cameron fight on the beaches to decide whether the episodes are the pride of Blighty or enough to make you call out for your mummy, but the final decision is in your hands!

Join Lee, Dave and Cameron as they flout lockdown restrictions and take a trip down to Cwmtaff - only to find it's a right hole! The return of the Silurians to the new series is put before the court as Chris Chibnall's "The Hungry Earth" and "Cold Blood" are put on trial! But will they be found guilty or not guilty of crimes against Doctor Who? The decision, as ever, is yours...

This episode is brought to you by the Welsh Valleys Tourist Board, with apologies to all Welsh people and Aidan Moffat.

Lee, Dave and Cameron discuss menacing pink snakes in Television Centre, falconry, wardrobe choices that even Liberace would consider a bit much, racism in Doctor Who, lost classics of British film comedy (that were lost for a reason), John Nathan Turner and Eric Saward's ongoing battle with a crocodile and more in episode 40 of The Polis Box. Oh, and we also put Snakedance on trial!

But will it be found guilty or not guilty of crimes against Doctor Who? The verdict, as ever, is in your hands...

(Apologies for some poor sound quality in places, thanks to us being back to slumming it on Skype. We'll be trying another platform next episode so this should improve. On the bright side, at least you don't have to listen to ALL of our nonsense for once, eh?)

It's part two of our episode 39 double-bill as Lee, Dave and Cameron discuss their secret past in the intelligence services, go fishing with James Bond, unearth the sordid details of Cameron's mum's secret dealings with an actual Doctor, bring an old favourite back into the fold *and* bring you the latest instalment of Colin Baker vs The Internet - oh yeah, and we put The End Of Time on trial! But will it be found guilty or not guilty of crimes against Doctor Who? The decision, as ever, is yours...

Lee, Dave and Cameron have taken the week off and let some students take over the podcast. Sadly for you, dear listeners, that's a lie. Join us as we turn music mogul and assemble the finest rap supergroup in history, discover which puppet is Cameron's trigger to the dark places and we somehow find the time to put Mission To The Unknown on trial - but will it be found guilty or not guilty of crimes against Doctor Who?

(Editor's note : despite the pantomime bashing, we genuinely like On The Timelash. They're two good boys and their podcast is well worth a listen : onthetimelash.wordpress.com )

It's the end...but the moment has been prepared for! It's time to reveal the results of every poll from the last four episodes in our Super Soaraway Trial Of The Trial Of A Timelord Anniversary Results Special! Or episode 36 of The Polis Box, to give it a less unwieldy title.

We're joined once again by Mark from On The Timelash, Geordie Al from Conquistabores and Greg and Charlie from Doctor Who : The Complete Menagerie (Almost) to pick over the results of the trial of the century (well, ok, the trial of the year) and to also unearth Ben Verth's secret karaoke shame, push the bounds of taste and decency (again) and to inadvertently invent a brand new religion! It's what Sydney Newman would have wanted.

It's the end...but the moment has been prepared for! It's our final case in The Polis Box's epic Trial Of The Trial Of A Timelord and it's the turn of The Ultimate Foe to go before the court. We're joined by lully Greg Jameson and lully Buddy Windrush from Doctor Who : The Complete Menagerie (Almost) to run the rule over the final two episodes of Series 23 of television's Doctor Who - but will it be found guilty or not guilty of crimes against the show?

Also : the Doctor that never was, a canny way of reintroducing a former companion without the need for recasting or computer trickery (you can have this one for free, Big Finish) and Cameron's body is possessed by the spirit of James Alexander Gordon. Pools panel result? It's a good listen!

You can hear Greg and Charlie (and Sam and Tom - they're all in it) in their natural habitat at : http://thecompletemenagerie.weebly.com/

In the penultimate instalment of our Trial Of The Trial Of A Timelord specials, we're joined by The Conquistabores' Geordie Al Milburn and Jim from the Krynoid Podcast - we present our live audition to be the new panel of Gilette Soccer Saturday, reveal the real reason behind Pussy Galore's name, explore the real story behind the most seismic event in the North-East's recent history...and somehow find the time to put Terror Of The Vervoids on trial! But will it be found guilty or not guilty of crimes against Doctor Who?

Guard your eyes from stray paintballs and press play at your peril! But dinna tek a Vervoid through the Grove, man, Geoff'll go mad!
