  • Time Ram 025: The Time Ram Christmas Special

    In the festive season Time Ram is pleased to present this plum duff of an episode, stuffed with surprises and extra goodies. We share the tale of Peter Cushing's third Doctor Who film "Dr Who and the Daleks at the Earth's Core". Not only that, but also a special presentation of 'Space Ram' tangling Star Trek and Fireball XL5. There may also be (whisper it) some extra original content. Which two sci-fi heroes turn out to be identical? Who is the British Prime Minister these days? Can we get through a whole episode without mentioning Helen Mirren? With thanks to our special guest stars Melanie Clark and Steve Palace. Time Ram is a proud member of the Direction Point Network.

  • Time Ram 024: Sleep Nae Mare

    Welcome to 1967, in which the second Doctor Who - Patrick Troughton - takes his companions to the moon for the first true Base-Under-Siege story: 'Sleep No More'. Time Ram wields a very sharp scalpel to uncover Ben's chain of sacrifice, James Bolam in an accent-off and the ever mysterious Heron Carvic. What is it like to be fingered by a Sandman? Can we invent a Ralph? And is that Schnorbitz hiding in the shadows? With at least 50% of this story missing, maybe we will never know... Also, Peter Capaldi gets a mention.

  • Time Ram 023: Saturday Super Stor

    Join us as we examine 'The Invasion of Time', starring Peter Davison! In the process, we learn what happens when you get massive eggs, the fifth Doctor being menacing and Derek Deadman trying to be taken seriously. What does Mrs Borusa call him at night? Who is Gallifrey's interior designer? How difficult were Turlough's teenage years? And why is William Hartnell hitting that Samurai with his stick? Let's all do the Shoboggie-woggie and find out. Time Ram: now a proud member of the Direction Point network.

  • Time Ram 022: River Song and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamboat
    Join us as we go back to 1986 to explore the legendary 'Husbands of River Song' - but not as you've seen it! This time, we have Ernie the fastest milkman in the west, Prince Vultan, and Colin Baker just going along with it. And you thought River Song's story was complicated in the series as it stands! Now we deal with JNT vs comedy, the evil crew of the Hyperion IV, Magnex son of Magnox, Christopher Biggin's nice pouch and the Milton Johns/Colin Jeavons twins. It's a low bar for Damsel. Damsel?? DAMSEL??? In other news, we are pleased to have joined the Direction Point network! Check them out!

  • Time Ram 021: The Doctor's Nuclear Family
    This time we are joined by the Mayor of Eastleigh himself, Mr Adam Manning, to help us investigate the mystery that is Matt Smith's 'The Doctor's Daughter'. Along the way, we stumble across several other mysteries associated with the episode: how did this actually get made? What exactly is Pek? What makes the perfect quicksand scene? And is there a way of getting River Song involved in all this? It's 'The Doctor's Daughter', but not as you've seen it! Which may be for the best.

  • Time Ram 020: The Abominable Dr Five
    This week we re-examine that Doctor Who standard, 'The Abominable Snowmen', which with our typically exquisite timing, we recorded before the animation came out! Yay for us. But that doesn't matter anymore, because as we now know, this story was made in the 1980s with Peter Davison, and is no longer missing!* So it's time to search the TARDIS trunk for that unidentifiable object, establish that this definitely isn't Heathrow and discuss the danger of the Pharos project. Join us as we play hide the ghanta, get pissed with JNT, and indulge in some slick bumbling, before setting off to catch a Yeti that we can skin and cook over a billabong. Whatever that is. There's nothing about it in my British Home Stores Book of Space...
    * May actually still be missing.

  • Time Ram 019: The Jollity Patrol

    This time (ram), special guest star Melanie Clark - international streamer and Who-fan - joins us to examine that Peter Capaldi phenomenon, 'The Happiness Patrol'. In this classic episode, the Doctor visits colony world Terra Alpha, where grumpy old gits are not welcome. Most of the Time Ram team would not last 2 seconds! So we keep our distance, and discuss extra-dimensional pockets, cheerleaders, classic sitcoms and The Chuckle Brothers. And maybe - just maybe -we'll get to see some factories destroyed. It's the one where Helen gets two fees!

  • Time Ram 018: The 'Tache Pirates
    We begin this episode with the premise that pirates are cool - but perhaps not these pirates... 'The Space Pirates' starring Tom Baker. Thankfully, none of that stops us doing gags about seamen and the poop deck! We also talk about this classic Doctor Who story, when not distracted by thoughts of Gerry Anderson, class war, staring at Acton and Victorian legs. Somewhere, there's a much more exciting adventure taking place with the V41-HI and Alpha Darts, but in the meantime, we're here with this very British Star Trek, which might actually be more fun than you think. It's better than being bored on Xeros.

  • Time Ram 017: The Bells of Allons-Y
    In tonight's thought experiment, we feature David Tennant starring in 'The Bells of St John' and try to work out how different that would be. Suddenly it's 2008, which is longer ago than it feels, and instantly we're full of Standard Def Mockney goodness, trying to work out who could possibly replace Celia Imrie. Could it be...? Only one person, surely? Meanwhile, there's gherkins, potential Wilfred Mott, gags from 'City of Death' and that old RTD/Moffat debate. Who could possibly win? There's only one way to find out... FIGHT!

  • Time Ram 016: Cinema Veritas
    This is Time Ram, currently number 14 on Feedspot's list of the top Doctor Who podcasts! This time, we discuss the episode 'Extremis', unexpectedly starring Jon Pertwee - and some other surprising names. In the process, we get to explore terrible impressions, actual physical harm, Not-Very-American actresses and the importance of firewalls. This is not a crazy conspiracy theory, this is Vatipute from Twin Peaks 1973! If all that wasn't enough, stick around for our special bonus section, where Friend-of-the-Podcast Adam Manning joins us to pay tribute to a television legend.
