August 18, 2023 Time Ram 042: Armageddon Comes to Milton Jeavons
It's The End of the World - but just the Doctor Who episode, which Time Ram now translates from the Christopher Eccleston to its rightful home in the Tom Baker era! We're now in the 70's, when people were natural and saggy, and no one did emotions yet. So who wants to be Sondergaard? Beau Bridges or Bo Derek? When can't you trust your staff with the off switch? And finally, please show us on this doll where Chris Chibnall touched you...

August 04, 2023 Time Ram 041: Torchwood and the Sad Omen
This Time Ram, we oversee Jon Pertwee's 'The Daemons', now re-jigged and adapted for David Tennant! Find out where the Doctor keeps his slides, what Jackie Tyler thinks of Tony Robinson and who's been knobbing the milkman* as we visit County Evil in the mid-noughties. And that's all before Yvonne Hartman orders us into the heat barrier!

July 21, 2023 Time Ram 040: Norwegian Wood
We continue our examination of the Paul McGann era, and his ongoing search for his father Ulysses, with his 4th (5th? 22nd?) episode 'It Takes You Away'. Finally, we learn about what is canonical Norway, what constitutes too many Graces and how Rarks go on dates. We'll be kissing William Shatner in the Aunty Zone, and that should get your Spidey senses tingling.

July 07, 2023 Time Ram 039: Dirty Box from Space
Time Ram kicks off the Matt Smith era with his opening story, 'Spearhead from Space' (previously associated with Jon Pertwee) where we deal with various dilemmas, such as how to play with our twangers, getting to see Peter Wyngarde's face creases, what every NHS hospital needs, and whether we should feature gratuitous nudity or cross-dressing Time Lords. Perhaps most pertinently: how do we get Amy into this story? That'll be nice with a bit of salt and a few onions.

June 23, 2023 Time Ram 038: Drs Who and the Dalek
Sometimes Time Ram does something really silly. This time, we take the Peter Capaldi episode 'Twice Upon a Time' in which the tweflth Doctor meets the first Doctor and ram it into... the first Doctor, William Hartnell. Who now meets himself, coming out of 'The Tenth Planet'? No that doesn't work. Could this be another 'Good Man Goes to War'? Well, you'll have to listen to find out. It's 1966, Peter Capaldi is 6 years old, and we've definitively shown which production team is the maddest! Possibly.

June 09, 2023 Time Ram 037: The Arousing
This Time Ram, we're joined by our favourite mayor, Mr Adam Manning, to review 'The Awakening' - now starring Colin Baker! The Doctor and Peri land in a sleepy English village, in which they encounter some old friends and a surprising face from their future... Someone apparently due to make a return to the show! We also discover what was acceptable in the 80s, whose name fits the theme music, and what makes the scariest apparition? It's the episode that's sponsored by Jeyes Fluid! (Or would be, if we'd thought to ask them).

May 26, 2023 Time Ram 036: A Nugget of Purest Green
Finally, Time Ram extracts 'The Creature from the Pit' from the Tom Baker era, and puts it where it always belonged - the Peter Davison era! Written by the under-rated David Fisher, this serial presents us with a fascinating matriarchal society containing plenty of nuance and meaning. And then we add some knob gags. In the process, we ponder the eternal questions: what happens when Nyssa's batteries run down? How does Peter Davison communicate? How many famous people have we stood next to in urinals? It's time to use maths in our continuing efforts to get Helen Mirren to appear in this podcast!

May 12, 2023 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.

April 28, 2023 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!

April 14, 2023 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?
