Time Ram

Time Ram is joined by our special guest, DWM-writer Lisa Gledhill to pick the bones out of 'State of Decay', which has been relocated from the Tom Baker era to Jodie Whittaker. Join us to learn the best name in showbiz, the technology which lasts the longest and the worst cheese ever. Bow ship or arrow ship? Dracula or Zargo? The wasting or... er... nope, no idea.

Christopher Eccleston's first episode 'Rose' was broadcast 20 years ago, but Time Ram takes it back another 30 years to 1975, as we recondition the story and adapt for Tom Baker! It's time to learn about Thora Hird's epic quest for a glass table, the real meaning of Geneva and the only honest man to enter parliament. Join us as we discuss non-specific wars, CSO fringes and Derek Griffiths! *

Time Ram massacres 'The Keeper of Traken', previously a Tom Baker classic, but now taking its rightful home in the William Hartnell era! We re-purpose the Pleasence, Fabio and Mr Pastry and also explore a number of spin-off shows: Cameca - Time Stalker, The Adventures of Captain Maitland and Kassia's Special Sauce. Come on Big Finish, give us a call.

Time Ram has to decide whether to die stupid or stand down, as we review 'The Zygon Invasion/Inversion' which has changed Scotsmen from Peter Capaldi to Sylvester McCoy. In the process, we discover Robert Lindsay, garbled plot points and the Osgood conundrum. Will the quantel paint box cope? Will something very nasty happen to Uxbridge? And how many types of Zygon are there anyway?

Time Ram take time off from watching boxsets to review 'The Doctor's Wife' as made for Paul McGann in the late 1990s! In the process, we observe early wirrns, CGI swirly balls, JNT's desirable office and screaming Bovril. Could we really, finally have caught up with the Doctor's father, Ulysses? One thing's for sure: Time Lords are weird.

Time Ram takes on alien jungle and inconsistent Morestrans as we translate Tom Baker's 'The Planet of Evil' into the Sylvester McCoy era. In the process we uncover apologetic guns, unusual hospital design and cult show The Chunderbirds!

It should be noted that this episode was recorded some time ago, before the result of the American election was known, and also before other recent revelations about a certain TV fantasy writer.

Time Ram suffers from assegai-envy as we take Sylvester McCoy's 'Ghost Light', add a soupçon of extra companions and serve again for Jodie Whittaker! Features creepy musuems, random glowing ostrich eyes and comedy Groucho Marx walks. It's time to go to Java (by boat).

Time Ram goes all mystery and suspense as we turn our focus to Peter Capaldi's 'Death to the Daleks'. Probably. Music cues! Von Daniken! Voices like angels! Roots! Helen Mirren and an unlikely late appearence by Paul Darrow! It's all going on. HOO-HAR!

Time Ram is better than a Time War as we take our expansive Christmas extravaganza and investigate special episode 'Day of the Doctor'! Packed full of frilly shirts, yellow horses heads, felt tips and Benton's infinite cup of coffee alongside all kinds of seasonal treats. Join us for a verse or two of Surely it's Susan.

Time Ram is joined by our special guest - journalist and comedian Steven Palace - to review (or roast?) Victory of the Daleks which we have transplanted from the Matt Smith era to Jon Pertwee. In this way, we experience Schroedinger's pregnancy, stupid science, T-Rexes made from old carpet and the Teletubbie Daleks! It's all Totally Terry Nation...
