  • Time Ram 035: The Mars Base (in Space)

    This Time Ram, we collide fourth Doctor Tom Baker with Patrick Troughton's 'The Moonbase' and wait to see which Doc comes out on top! We also consider these vital questions: Moonbase Alpha or Moonbase 3? How do you wear a scarf in a spacesuit? What do Cybermen have against aerials? Where have all these crabs come from? We also get to consider Harry the gooseberry, Helene Merrien and the Green Cross Code Man. And is that Sam Becket? Hoo boy.

  • Time Ram 034: Which Witch is Which...??
    This week we investigate Paul McGann's 'The Witchfinders', in which he arrives in Salem to search for his father Ulysses, and has come prepared in his chameleon pants. We also discuss tense strumming, enspleening ahead of time and any number of unlikely guest stars. Charles Dance anyone? Don't mind if I do. We also mix up Helen Mirren with Robert Jewell, pursue the Evil Dead and mess up Grace's ballgown. It's William Shatner's Panty Party, and anyone who doesn't want to hear that must be dead inside!

  • Time Ram 033: Invasion of the Randoms
    The 'Cartmel Masterplan' takes yet another battering, as we re-jig the Tom Baker classic 'The Android Invasion' and insert it into the Sylvester McCoy era! It turns out that Yuri Crayford has been stranded in space through a sequence of events that makes the Kraal's plans look quite advanced. We also learn how much Mel screams, what a sudden fondness for ginger pop looks like, and what RTD's latest spin-off show will be. That's all before we get to the really big questions: so are these androids? And are they invading, or what?

  • Time Ram 032: Don't Shoot, I'm Half-Human on My Mother's Side

    Finally, Time Ram kicks off its own Paul McGann era, beginning with 'A Town Called Mercy', previously imagined for TV's Matt Smith. In the process, we have our first Time Ram three-way, ask an important question about Borusa, and find out what Hanson money buys. We also tackle those cybernetic pirates, the Cybs, and impersonate The Two Ronnies. Also: how much does Helen Mirren need the work? Featuring our special guest star, Black Archive writer Jon Arnold!

  • Time Ram 031: The Jewell Inside

    D'NER D'NER D'NER D'NER BATMAN!! In this episode, the first Doctor, William Hartnell, stars in the Peter Capaldi episode 'The Return of Doctor Mysterio' in proper sixties fashion! Although he probably doesn't meet Adam West. Or maybe he does? For this is Time Ram, and anything is possible. Literally anything. Hence we learn about the Doctor's special ring, join the campaign for Justice for Dodo and witness some brain-on-brain action. And also... is that a 10-foot tall Donald Pleasence?

  • Time Ram 030: Pyramids of Martha
    This week, it's the turn of the Tom Baker classic, 'Pyramids of Mars'! Join us as we take the roof off, upgrade the paint work and sell it back to you as a racy little episode starring David Tennant! In the process, we may (or may not) learn what was Rupe's first memory of Doctor Who, what it is that Baz can believe, and where Paul's old family friend lived. How did Laurence and Marcus fall out? Who employs their own poacher? And what was Sutekh using his spare hand for? Keep your fast return switch properly maintained as we do the Time Ram again!

  • Time Ram 029: Excellence in Silver
    Let us take you back to 1985, and the opening of Doctor Who season 22 - Colin Baker's first full season in the role. And what better way to open than with that full-on Cyberman continuity-fest 'Nightmare in Silver'? (Otherwise known as "Neil Gaiman's Other One") Finally, the Time Ram team can focus on Peri's other career as a nanny, dressing for Time Bandits and being mistaken for Byker Grove. It's the episode where Rupe keeps on going until someone stops him, Baz obsesses over 'The Twin Dilemma' and Paul can no longer distinguish past from future!

  • Time Ram 028: Terry and Judoon

    In this episode, Time Ram takes Jodie Whittaker's 'Fugitive of the Judoon' and rams it into the Christopher Eccleston era... because we can, that's why! In the process, we investigate who is the most alien Doctor, which showrunner is pro-old ladies and what Bradley Walsh does in his spare time with Aridians. We also take some passive aggressive cakes and stick them down the Falcon Hole with Han Solo... because we can, that's why! We finish by avoiding oncoming narrative to do the watusi. Because... you get the idea. I know, I know, it's really serious.

  • Time Ram 027: The Naughty Cactus Wants a Shape

    Join us for an exciting journey with the 13th Doctor, "nicest person on the planet" Jodie Whittaker as she takes on a naughty cactus in 'Meglos'! Whether you're a Deon, a Savant or simply Meglostic, you can still enjoy Miriam Margolyes, Jimmy Nail, jungle hierarchies, learning to unfold the Unfolding Text, and establishing whether time loops are chronic or not! Has Chris listened to the voices this time? Who really hates vegetables? And how do you perform basic maintenance on a dodecahedron? The clues are all there, as we feature Helen Mirren's best guest role so far!

    1 hr 16 min
  • Time Ram 026: The Girls in the Fireplace
    Finally, Jodie Whittaker's Doctor gets access to a fireplace and a chance to snog Mme de Pompadour! It's a chance to investigate the only woman she's ever loved (or not), the Three Universe theory of Doctor Who, Tom Baker's bad habits and the meaning of "cryptosexual". Who writes the most captions? Who would Rupert love to see as the Doctor? Is the Post Office the only thing holding the universe in check? It's Timey Wimey Oily Winey!
