Talks to Jason Thompson about his choice of The Sea Devils (5/6)15 Mar 202400:36:08
Joe & Jason; ‘we’re not going to the planet over to a lot of lizards, you know!’ Enter Walker the Peacmaker! The action ramps up, peace is almost secured and then everything goes to shit. Is there any way of preventing genocide?
Talks to Jason Thompson about his choice of The Sea Devils (4/6)14 Mar 202400:30:04
Joe & Jason; We’ve got plenty of time for Trenchard this episode, a vastly undervalued character and the sort that Hulke gives real depth to. His ending is but pathetic and very moving.
Talks to Jason Thompson about his choice of The Sea Devils (3/6)13 Mar 202400:29:22
Joe & Jason; ‘the whole thing’s getting out of hand!’ Time to talk length, novels and iconic moments with some time for quality footwork, abseiling and homing devices!

Joe & Jason; ‘Just puppets, you know, for children…’ We’re beguiled by the atmosphere on the sea fort under siege, Pertwee’s comedy business & all the impressive character actors doing their stuff.
Talks to the glorious Jason Thompson (in person!) about his choice of The Sea Devils (1/6)10 Mar 202400:37:01
Joe & Jason; ‘Horatio Nelson happens to be a close personal friend of mine!’ An epic six parter full of action, twists, brilliant acting & buckets of business. Time to snuggle up and press play.
Hamster Book Club - The Gallifrey Chronicles 08 Mar 202401:44:40
Joe & his guest Ken Moss take the deepest of dives into the final book of the Eighth Doctor Adventures, The Gallifrey Chronicles. Is this a celebration or a critique? Will they understand every reference? And are you prepared to lose Gallifrey?
Talks to Dylan Rees & Luke Molloy about their choice of Hell Bent 07 Mar 202401:26:19
Joe, Dylan & Luke; 'I had a duty of care.' Joe used to hate this, and he's turning a corner. Luke used to hate this and now he likes it a great deal, except the first fifteen minutes. Dylan has always loved this and that's why he is the best of us.
Talks to Luke Molloy & Dylan Rees about their choice of Heaven Sent 05 Mar 202401:10:25

Strictly Come Hamster - Series 2 (starring Si Hart & Mark Rawlins) 03 Mar 202403:22:08

Talks to the delightful Jack Rees about his choice of Kill the Moon 01 Mar 202401:05:00
Joe & Jack; ‘ABORT’ A contentious episode that we both happen to adore in a contentious season that we both happen to adore. Big spiders, toxic relationships, her from Cold Feet and an unforgettable final scene.

Talks to James Lark about his choice of Delta & the Bannermen (2/3)27 Feb 202400:33:34

Joe & James; 'Actually, I think I may have gone a little too far...' We're basking in the Welsh sunshine (and countryside), taking in the beauty spots, riding cycles, hanging out with charming (and wise) locals and gathering a ragtag collection of heroes to defeat the villainous Bannermen!

Talks to Luke Molloy about his choice of The Waters of Mars 22 Feb 202401:50:33
Joe & Luke (Victorious); ‘A Time Lord Victorious is wrong!’ This is the big one! Perfectly written and executed, top drama, scares and character work. How can we contain our excitement?

Joe, Frazer & Si; 'I shan't let you take him! I shan't! I shan't!' Enter the most spectacular guest actor to ever appear in a Doctor Who. Neska remains a fan favourite, a woman of rare guile and integrity. We discuss her impact on the Whoniverse here.

Talks to Si Hart & Frazer Gregory about their choice of Planet of the Spiders (2/4) 13 Feb 202400:35:37

Joe, Si & Frazer; 'He's turned off to the right, Brigadier!' It's a ruddy great one episode chase over land, sea and air. Is this a self indulgent non episode to appease the departing star? Or a dynamic, suspenseful race against time set piece?

Joe, Frazer & Si; 'Concentrate!' A biggie...the end of the Jon Pertwee's time on Doctor Who, the culmination of the work of Barry Letts & Terrance Dicks and bloody great spiders too! What will the intrepid trio think of this meditative opening episode?

Talks to the gorgeous Luke Molloy & Dylan Rees about their choice of Mindwarp (4/4)09 Feb 202400:49:25
Joe, Luke & Dyan; ‘you…killed Peri…’ This is the big one. It’s either a complete betrayal of Doctor Who or the most exciting, horrific and edgy bit of storytelling the show has ever delivered. Or both. Let’s talk about Peri’s death.
Talks to Luke Molloy & Dylan Rees about their choice of Mindwarp (3/4)08 Feb 202400:32:59

Talks to Dylan Rees & Luke Molloy about their choice of Mindwarp (2/4)07 Feb 202400:29:36
Joe, Dylan & Luke; off to the Sea of Sorrows… Is the Doctor mad? Influenced? A turncoat? What could possibly prompt this violent insanity?
Talks to Luke Molloy & Dylan Rees about their choice of Mindwarp (1/4)06 Feb 202400:33:10

Talks to David Gillespie-Pratt about his choice of Underworld (4/4)02 Feb 202400:58:46

Joe & David; and another mad computer of Death? More wandering around the fake caves, more searching for a plot or original ideas, more lack of wit and wonder? Does this story deserve it's dreadful reputation?

Talks to David Gillespie-Pratt about his choice of Underworld (3/4)01 Feb 202400:29:25

Talks to David Gillespie-Pratt about his choice of Underworld (2/4) 31 Jan 202400:34:00
Joe & David; how many times will we see that security camera shot? A discussion on humour in Doctor Who, how trains and Underworld face familiar nightmares, and should a heroic failure be commended?
Talks to David Gillespie-Pratt about his choice of Underworld (1/4)30 Jan 202400:32:57

Joe & David; 'Made in Minyos' Is this the worst Doctor Who story of repute? Can we delve into the troubled production and find a story worth telling? Is the first episode a genuinely good scene setter?

Talks to Luke Molloy about his choice of Asylum of the Daleks 28 Jan 202401:39:51

Hamster Book Club - Transit 27 Jan 202402:42:30
Joe, James, Jason & Ian have a feisty discussion about trains, semen, companion could have beens, a drunk Doctor and some substantial worldbuilding. Can a consensus be reached on the most controversial of Doctor Who novels?
