Ghost Light has a reputation in fandom as looking great but having a complicated plot, mainly due to scenes being cut. We take on the challenge of working out what's going on in Gabriel Chase...

It's time to begin the final season of classic who. We start with one of Mark's favourites 'Battlefield' but will Sarah have the same enthusiasm ... 

Another story, another attempt for Mel to go on holiday and this time it's in Wales which is good timing as we recorded this episode together in Cardiff.  The slightly over the top tone of the season continues with green babies, holiday camps and meat stroking...

We're back! A new season begins and Sarah (our Sarah) meets a new Doctor. There's a beautiful Robot, Benton and the Brig plus Harry joins the regular team!

The ultimate awards show returns celebrating season 11. We try some Terry Nations while discussing and announcing our winners.

Many thanks to Eight Legs for hosting the awards on Metebelis 3. 

We must face our fears as we reach the end of the Third Doctor's era. Mike Yates is back, Sarah Jane is investigating and we return to Metebelis 3. Is this a fitting end to this Doctor's time? What will we make of the Spider Queen?

We're returning to Peladon this week to visit our friend Alpha Centauri. Time has passed and we have a Queen in charge now, or is she? Is this story just more of the same or does it bring something new?

Yes Terry Nation is back with another cocktail of Dalek action. More quarry action, mysterious aliens, stranded crew. Is there anything stand out about this story apart from the terrible music?

Operation Golden Age is underway as we're joined by David (@mrsremingtonfan) to discuss this often forgotten classic. Can we look past the dinosaur balloons and see the script for what it is?

Will Sarah enjoy this six parter?

It's a new start for season 11 as we meet new companion Sarah Jane Smith. We know she's a journalist but is she really that annoying? What will our Sarah make of her?

Live from Spiridon we're celebrating season 10. As well as the usual categories we've got a new award - Icon of the season - who will be a worthy winner?

It's the end of the season and we say goodbye to Jo Grant in this ecologically minded 6 parter.

Warning: This episode contains bad language, many animal death stories and more maggot stories than you or Sarah expected. 

Continuing on from last week's cliffhanger, we find out where the TARDIS has taken the Doctor and Jo. 

Get the cocktails out as Terry Nation is back with his greatest hits.

Mark is very happy as this is his favourite 3rd Doctor story but will Sarah agree?

Beware the very slow cleaning robots in the second story of season 24. All Mel wants to do is visit the swimming pool. What IS happening at Paradise Towers?

Back out in space it's a six parter and there are a lot of prisons! The Ogrons are back but will Sarah remember them or is she more interested in the giant spoon?

Roll up, roll up The Carnival of Monsters is here. Mark and Sarah talk magicians, monsters and mid nineties crazes.

It's a 4 parter so hopefully Sarah will enjoy this one as we continue our watch of season 10. 

Season 10 begins with not one but three Doctors! Celebrating 10 years of Doctor Who this story brings back Patrick Troughton and William Hartnell. We also find out a bit more about the Timelords as Omega is introduced. 

What will Sarah make of these goings on? Will Mark be less harsh on the blobs?

If you want to hear Mark be a bit more harsh on this story, you can hear his commentary on Hamster With A Blunt Penknife Podcast here:

As its Christmas week we're having a week off from watching and instead we've got a mini episode which Mark hasn't told Sarah about!

Join us to celebrate season 9 of Doctor Who. Kronos has kindly set up the edge of time for us. There's plenty of villains, monsters and heroes to choose from. Who will take away an award?

We also announce the winner of our Keys of Marinus competition. 

It's the end of season panto aka The Time Monster. We see a return to Atlantis and the return of The Master. Mark is annoyed with all the TOMTIT action and Sarah can't stop staring at the TITS. 

After recording The Mutants last week, David stayed with us to record this quick competition bonus!

We have a Keys of Marinus B&M set plus a set of second Doctor Top Trumps cards up for winning.

Just answer the question we ask in this episode and get in touch with the answer either via Twitter or Insta DM @twowatchwho or email us twowatchwho@gmail.com

This is open to anyone worldwide. Entries will close on Thursday the 9th of December. 

Good Luck!

You might think there's not much to discuss in this story but even though it's not the greatest there's plenty going on. David (@mrsremingtonfan) returns to record with us in person. There's Squire talk, Mutts, Caves, and Sarah explains the plot to the fans. Add some takeaway drama, top trumps and cocktails and suddenly this story is very memorable.

It's a tough one this week. We're back on Earth and The Master is back already. Too soon? There's lots of boat action and although the Sea Devils are good monsters but is there enough plot?

If you're new to Who, you can watch along with us. Mark watched the official DVD and Sarah watched on Britbox. 

@twowatchwho

Join us on Peladon for some political talk. Another space adventure sees the return of the Ice Warriors and some other interesting monsters. What dealings had box man done with H? Who is joining the EU? We work it all out!

A new season begins with a new Doctor and that’s not the only change this season. Time And The Rani hasn’t always had the best reputation within fandom but will a new viewer like Sarah see the merits of this story? We’re joined by our Doscars expert to talk Tetraps, Bubble Traps, Brains and waterproof makeup. 

We begin season 9 with the return of the Daleks. Joining us to discuss are Richard - watching this story for the first time and David (@mrsremingtonfan) who isn't a fan of this story at all.

Sarah watched the special edition of this story and brings her own take on this story. Is it really as bad as David thinks it is?

Take your seats we are here to celebrate season 8. Edith is back catering, Corporal Bell is on the cocktails. Who will take away an award this time?

We consulted the talisman of mercury in preparation for discussing the Daemons this week. 

It's a fan favourite for sure but what will Sarah make of it? If you look into the details does the story make any sense?

If you're new to Who and watching along with us, Mark watched the official DVD release of this story and Sarah watched online with Britbox.

@twowatchwho

Sarah experiences space in colour for the first time. In another first, Mark needs the plot explaining to him - by Sarah! We also talk soaps, lizards and Jo's first trip in the TARDIS.

If you're new to Who like Sarah and want to watch along with us, Mark watched the official DVD release of this story and Sarah watched on Britbox (at work).

@twowatchwho

You find us on a windswept beach this week as we discuss The Claws of Axos. More master, more ministers and help from Bill Filer. Although the most important observation is that it's all about the hair....

If you're new to Who and want to watch along with us Mark watched the official BBC DVD release and Sarah watched via Britbox. 

@twowatchwho

Prisons, Serial Killers and Dead Birds sums up this week's discussion of The Mind of Evil. We discuss the concept of the Keller Machine and the prison system - at length!

Sarah is getting used to the character of Jo and Barnham makes an impression on us. 

If you're new to Who and want to watch along with us, Mark watched the BBC DVD and Sarah watched online via Britbox. 

It's a new season. The Doctor is still stuck on Earth and Sarah finds out Liz isn't coming back. The Autons return, the Master is introduced and we have a new companion to discuss as we meet Jo Grant. 

Also includes circus and fairground discussions. 

If you're new to Who and want to watch along with us, we watched the official BBC DVD of this story. You can also stream this online. 

The first awards ceremony of the 1970's is here.

Which iconic characters will secure a place in the hall of fame? Has Liz done enough to be remembered? Will Meg or Petra win not only for their sandwiches but for their heroic actions? And does control unit woman have a place in proceedings?

It's the last story of season 7 already (although Sarah doesn't know it yet). More industrial locations, more UNIT action but love saves the day along with our attention span as Greg and Petra become our new favourite couple - in both universes...

If you're new to Who and want to watch along with us, Mark watched the official BBC DVD release of Inferno and Sarah watched on Britbox.

Get in touch with your thoughts @twowatchwho / twowatchwho@gmail.com

We're joined by Luke and Chris from The Lost on Gallifrey Podcast (@doctor_podcast) to talk about The Ambassadors of Death.

There's plenty to discuss about this 7 part story; Astronauts, Space Travel, James Bond, Liz and her hat, also why does the control unit woman stay so calm....

If you're new to who and want to watch along with us we watched the official BBC DVD of this story which is also available to stream on Britbox.

The courtroom is back in session one more time as we determine the highs and lows of season 23 in the Doscars ceremony.

We're going caving this week as the Silurians come out of hibernation bringing a deadly plague to humanity. Sarah is still getting used to the format of this era as we discuss Liz and The Brigadier.

Of course with the plague we get into some vaccine/Covid talk too.

If you're new to who and want to watch along with us, Mark watched the official BBC DVD release and Sarah watch via Britbox. 

New Titles! New Face! We start the 1970's with a new Doctor and Sarah has no idea what to expect. We're joined by special guest Mike (@mrmikegriffiths) to talk about this new era of the show.

We talk Autons, The Brigadier, Liz and of course the most important characters of this story; Sam and Meg Seeley! 

If you want to watch along with us we watched the official DVD release of this story. It's also available on streaming platforms. 

Before we move on to the 70's we're celebrating the best of the 60's with the ultimate awards show. All our previous Doscar winners are back to battle it out. There are also some extra categories featuring some of our favourite characters and moments that have made an impact. 

Special guest host Joe (@docoho) joins us to announce the winners and discuss. 

You can let us know what you think of the winners (or who you think should have won) on twitter @twowatchwho.

Who will manage to win an award in the last Doscars of the 60's? Can the Krotons beat the Ice Warriors? Who has been the best supporting character? Which character will take away the Ian Chesterton Heroic moment?

The time has come to finish the last five episodes of the War Games. Sarah will discover that this is also the end of the Second Doctor, Jamie and Zoe. 

We discuss the War Lord, Jamie's sexist comments, and the first we see of the Timelords!

If you're new to Who (like Sarah) and want to watch along with us, we watched the official BBC DVD release of this story but it's also available via Britbox.

The epic finale of Season 6 begins as we talk about episodes 1 - 5 of the War Games. 

Sarah has no idea what's coming up but will she guess the conclusion? Mark finds the security chief very annoying and we disagree on what sound the TARDIS makes. 

If you're new to Who like Sarah, you can watch along with us. We watched these episodes on the official DVD release but you can also find this story on Britbox. 

We've reached the final missing story and it's going to be a tough one. Did Sarah manage to get through it?

If you're new to Who (don't start with watching this story!) and want to watch along with us. We saw the Loose Cannon reconstruction online. The soundtrack is also available on CD. Good luck!

T-Mat Earth Control calling, connecting you to this weeks episode 'The Seeds Of Death'. The Ice Warriors return, but is this story any different to their debut?

Will Miss Kelly be added to our 'Woman of Who list? and who is Sarah's hero of the week?

If you're new to Who you can watch along with us. Mark watched the official BBC DVD release of this story and Sarah watch via Britbox.

Congratulations! You have been selected to enter the domain of the Krotons. Mark Gond and Sarah Gond are in the learning hall talking about this story which is not favoured among fans.

If you're new to Who you can watch along with us, either on the official BBC DVD release of this story or via Britbox.

The Cybermen are back in this 8 part epic. They aren't the only returnees as the Brigadier is back with UNIT, is that Mavic Chen? and where are Travers and Anne.

Isobel leads us to discuss our list of 'women in Who' but does she do enough to get a place?

If you're new to Doctor Who and want to discover these stories with us, we watched the official BBC DVD release but you can also find it on Britbox.

The Trial is almost over, just two more episodes to wrap everything up. Was Sarah correct in her predictions? or will there be some surprises? 

Time to use the emergency controls this week as we're taken out of time and space to watch The Mind Robber.

This is the very first Doctor Who story Mark ever saw and hopefully Sarah will enjoy this one too. Fake Jamie, Rapunzel, Zoe's outfit - what's not to like?

We also announce the winner of last week's Dominators competition. 

If you're new to Doctor Who and want to discover these stories with us, we watched the official BBC DVD release but you can also find it on Britbox. 

Season 6 kicks off with not the most popular fan story, The Dominators.

We're joined by guest David (@mrsremingtonfan) to discuss Curtains, Kando and the Quarks.

Sarah gives us her verdict on how new companion Zoe is getting along.

We also play higher or lower: Troughton Top Trumps and guess the monster.

Listen out for a new competition at the end too! (For time-y wimey purposes the competition closes on 18/05/21 10:00​ GMT)
