BONUS: "A Dead Mole" (An Unearthly Child)24 Dec 202200:40:21
Merry Christmas (or whichever holiday you celebrate)! As it's too soon in our run to review any of the Doctor Who Christmas specials, we decided to do something a little different for a festive bonus. I showed Ben the first of episode of An Unearthly Child from all the way back in 1963, to see where it all began!

6. "Little Idiot" (Dalek)21 Dec 202200:54:34
It's happened. Ben has had his first experience with a Dalek. And, shockingly, he describes this episode using an adjective I never expected him to use in connection with Doctor Who...! Excuse the wild tangents in this episode, including talking about our cats, and obscure references to The Vicar of Dibley.

Please welcome back to the podcast our first returning guest, the wonderful Mike from Who Gives A Flux! We discuss the 2023 Christmas special, The Church on Ruby Road.

Mike became a Doctor Who fan with the show’s return in 2005. Ever since, it’s been a constant in his life, culminating in the birth of Who Give A Flux, Mike’s Doctor Who podcast where he discusses with fans their Duds and Studs, amongst other spacey and weird things. His current favourite seasons are 4, 10 and 11… but he’s not committing to an order just yet.
