Mark, Ben, Dylan and Richie go on a pub crawl from Ten Forward to Quark's Bar and beyond as they chart the golden age of Star Trek from the franchise's 25th anniversary in 1991 to the end of Enterprise in 2004. Was the success of TNG responsible for the return of Doctor Who in 2005? What do DS9 and Voyager have in common with the work of Bill Baggs? What happened when Jon Pertwee met William Shatner?

Mark Donaldson, Bones Verth, Dylanna Troi (Dylan Rees) and Richie Morgan embark on a 60 year mission to chart the differences and similarities between Star Trek and Doctor Who. THIS EPISODE: We're talking Patrick Troughton and The Original Series to Tom Baker and The Motion Picture. Did the space race help or hinder late 60s Doctor Who and Star Trek: TOS? How Star Trek became a big enough deal in the UK to prompt Bruce Forsyth to dress up as Captain Kirk. But which show is like being drunk with your mates? | |||
| 156. Last Night I Dreamt That I Was an Ambulance (Empire of Death/The Myth Makers) | 29 juin 2026 | 02:16:59 | |
It's all been leading to this, sort of. Ben and Mark bring season 1 of OTTLXRTD2 to a close with a bumper episode diving deep into the much derided series finale, Legend of Ruby Sunday/Empire of Death. Was Ncuti Gatwa tuning a telly really worthy of the big screen treatment? Why is Sutekh such a big fan of Davina McCall's Long Lost Family? And on the subject of abrupt companion departures, the Lash Lads pair Empire of Death with The Myth Makers, comparing and contrasting Vicki's TARDIS departure amidst a Grecian bloodbath. With apologies to Morrissey and Marr... | |||
| 156. Stick a Rainbow on It (Rogue/Black Orchid) | 21 juin 2026 | 01:48:05 | |
After emerging relatively unscathed from a discussion about racism in Doctor Who, Ben and Mark tackle same sex relationships in Rogue and the representation of disability in Black Orchid. What could possibly go wrong? Also: Ben adds Janet Fielding to his repertoire of impressions and Matthew Waterhouse eats a soggy buffet, and a bunch of listeners have never seen Bridgerton. | |||
| 155. White Pricks (Dot and Bubble/The Savages) | 15 juin 2026 | 01:55:28 | |
Ben and Mark go On the Tightrope as they attempt to talk about the heavy themes and issues brought up by Dot and Bubble without getting cancelled or sounding like Legz Akimbo theatre company. But don't worry, there's some light relief in the form of the William Hartnell serial, The Savages, in which an underclass are brutally subjugated by their privileged masters. Ah. Also: What is the Citizen Kane of Doctor Who? Who's responsible for William Hartnell's Reactive Vibrator? And why shouldn't we mourn Ricky September? Enjoy the podcast? Why not buy us a pint or contribute to our hosting fees here? | |||
| 154. All Talc in His Hair (73 Yards/K9 & Company) | 01 juin 2026 | 01:27:19 | |
"Everyone gives Doctor Who shit for sticking some glasses on Millie Gibson but what about Amol Rajan?" Spooky women, sexual deviants and robot dogs abound as Ben and Mark tackle Russell T Davies' A24-lite thriller 73 Yards and Terence Dudley's occult oddity, K-9 & Company. Do either of these companion-centric Doctor Who stories actually have anything to say? Who does Susan Twist's Ncuti Gatwa impression remind us of? And while we're at it, whose house smells of ouzo and johnnies? | |||
| 153. Pertwee's Burgers (Boom/Destiny of the Daleks) | 25 mai 2026 | 01:52:29 | |
Steven Moffat and Terry Nation return to Doctor Who after some time away, but are they all out of tricks? Ben and Mark find out as they discuss Boom from 2024 and Destiny of the Daleks from 1979. How did Boom unite a divided Doctor Who fandom? Will Ben and Mark ever actually talk about what Destiny of the Daleks is rather than what it could have been? And why did Terry Nation veto a Dalek production of Romeo & Juliet? | |||
| 152. Beat-Less (The Devil's Chord/Fanfare for the Common Men) | 18 mai 2026 | 01:43:06 | |
"...so I can maybe understand why the Beatles look a bit chubby..." Ben and Mark discuss two Doctor Who stories that make a virtue of the absence of The Beatles, to varying degrees of success; 2024's The Devil's Chord, and 2013's Fanfare for the Common Men. Over the course of the discussion, the Lash Lads ponder whether the Fifth Doctor is convincing as a Beatles fan, question the inclusion of "There's Always a Twist at the End", and rifle through RTD's Desert Island Discs. Also: The Degsestial Funmaker challenges the lads to identify two niche bits of Doctor Who related audio merch, and Mark pitches a new BBC book for babies. You can read about the plagiarism allegations against Yesterday here. And there's a Time magazine article about the Paul is Dead conspiracy theory here. | |||
| 151. The Skidmark in Space (Space Babies/Leisure Hive) | 11 mai 2026 | 02:18:59 | |
Ben and Mark begin the Ncuti Gatwa era proper with a discussion all about Space Babies. Was it really the best story to launch a big, bold, new global era on Disney+ or was it just same old, same old? And by way of contrast, they then turn to The Leisure Hive, the first story of the JN-T era and a bold new vision for Doctor Who. Or was it? Also: How did having an actual baby affect Ben's first viewing of Space Babies? Is it wise to blow the Disney money on a bunch of pram pushers in green morph suits? And why do the Foamasi give the most unsettling lap dances you've ever seen? | |||
| 150. Stake Night (The Church on Ruby Road/State of Decay) | 04 mai 2026 | 01:57:24 | |
Over two years on from his debut adventure, Ben and Mark return, drinks in hand, to discuss the Ncuti Gatwa era of Doctor Who. Pairing The Church on Ruby Road with State of Decay, the Lash Lads discuss crumbling institutions, rapacious kings and a revolting underclass, but that's enough about the RTD2 era, they also discuss a Christopher H Bidmead story! Also: The Degesestial Funmaker returns to test Ben and Mark's knowledge of Doctor Who merch, but who is William H. Keith? And what do Halle Berry and Matthew Waterhouse have in common? All this and much less in the glorious return of On the Time Lash. | |||
| OTTL Book Club: Myths and Legends by Dylan Rees | 28 août 2025 | 01:41:35 | |
Ben and Mark throw open the doors of the On the Timelash bookshop for a boozy book launch with Dylan Rees, author of the fabulous book, Myths and Legends: The Reeltime Pictures Story. The lads chat about how Keith Barnfather, Nicholas Briggs, and many more have created a massive people's history of Doctor Who, courtesy of the Myth Makers interviews, deep dive documentaries and spinoff dramas. And then, in the second half, Dylan chooses a "classic" and "new" Myth Makers for the three of us to discuss; Sylvester McCoy's 1994 interview and Eric Saward's 2005 interview. How has the range changed in the intervening 11 years? You can buy Dylan's book here. You can rent or buy the whole Reeltime Pictures catalogue from here. | |||

"Have we learned nothing from Torchwood?" Mark is joined by Si Hart, host of The Library of Impossible Things, who submits his five choices for the tinsel tunnel. It's a wide-ranging discussion that often comes back to reminding us what it is to be a child watching Doctor Who. Under discussion: "Dark" Doctor Who, dodgy tea towels, Tom Baker being all teeth and no curls, the weakest story in season 13, and much more. Also: Who put Ncuti Gatwa in a hydraulic press? And what has Si got against Prentis Hancock? You can see the boxed set that Mark and Si are talking about here. The squashed Ncuti Gatwa can be bought here. | |||
| In the Timelash #14 - ArtfullyLiam | 11 juil. 2025 | 02:05:16 | |
"Amazon Who? You Plonker!" Mark invites enigmatic artist and autograph hunter, @artfullyliam to submit his five choices for the tinsel tunnel. Their discussion takes in whether Doctor Who should be a prick, which fans ought to see an optician and explore why Sutekh, Omega and the Rani didn't work as well as the Daleks, Sarah Jane Smith and The Master. But which Doctor Who companion went from sounding like Jimmy Corkhill to sounding like Lord Mountbatten? Check out Liam's stunning artwork over on Instagram | |||
| In the Timelash #13 - Richie Morgan | 26 juin 2025 | 01:41:17 | |
"Sexy Doctors" Mark and Ben(!) invite longtime friend of the show Richie Morgan to submit his five choices for the tinsel tunnel. While Richie insists he's not come to bury RTD, many of his choices force the boys to consider what has and hasn't worked over the past three years. They also force this Timelash trio to ponder the following questions: Why is Russell T Davies like Kim Jong Un? Who is the Scottish goblin? Why should Children in Need give back the money that was raised by Time Crash? You can listen to I Hate Doctor Who here, and their live show will broadcast on July 2nd on YouTube. | |||
| In the Timelash #12 - Iain Martin | 20 juin 2025 | 01:53:51 | |
"This was always the plan" Mark invites Iain Martin from We're All Stories in the End and All of Time and Space to submit his five Doctor Who gripes for the tinsel tunnel. Iain selects five aspects of the modern Doctor Who experience AND YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT'S AT NUMBER 2! Also: Why is Mark like Jack the Ripper? What happened when Russell T Davies went to the vets? And can Iain ever be surprised by Nerys Hughes? You can listen to The Electric Sodcast here. You can buy Lily and the Octopus by Steven Rowley here. | |||
| Retro OTTL: The Empty Child/Doctor Dances/Krotons | 28 mai 2025 | 01:45:31 | |
Another episode from the OTTL vault, recorded way back in 2014. "Episode #7 sees us discuss Steven Moffat’s debut story The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances which we compare with Robert Holmes’ first offering for Who, The Krotons. Does each story give us an idea of what to expect when both eventually graduate to the big role at the head of the series? And just how would the Tumblr community have reacted to Robert Holmes?" | |||

"Blooping is fine" Mark invites Pete Lambert from the Trap One and Maximum Power podcasts to submit his five Doctor Who gripes for the very literal Tinsel Tunnel in an accidental Christmas special. Which of Pete's selections will force Mark to look back on his life choices like Ebenezer Scrooge? Is the 45 - 60 minute long episode of Doctor Who a dead medium? Why is Mrs Flood emblematic of a problem plaguing pop culture? And who trapped that bee inside a theramin? All this and more in the final In the Timelash of 2024! | |||

"Firing a Doctor Who cake up your arse" In their final look at the 60th anniversary specials, Ben and Mark welcome back the Toymaker by pairing up The Giggle with the unmade 1980s serial The Nightmare Fair. While the sense of an ending marks the 60th miniseries out as something special, have subsequent episodes of Doctor Who ruined the party? And after almost 60 years, has anyone got a handle on how to write for the Toymaker? Also: Mark explains why Alex Horne is the true Toymaker, Ben recounts a Rab C Nesbitt locations tour, and we ponder what the Doctor Who equivalent of Spock's helmet might be.

And is there such a thing as too much Star Beast? Also: Mark learns watercolours with Peter Davison, Ben reminisces about Frazer Hines' fridge freezer and we ask the questions - Is RTD a hard-left agitator or centrist dad apologist? What separates Miriam Margoyles from John Barrowman? And what Doctor Who related clothing item can Ben guess in just 2 questions? | |||

| OTTL Extra: Censor-Rights or Censor-Wrongs? | 15 sept. 2024 | 01:30:08 | |

And will Benjamin Cook's choppily edited version for the TikTok generation ever topple Milton Subotsky's technicolour marvel? Also: What is the Del Boy falling through the bar of Doctor Who? Which 1960s companion was one of 30 names attached to be the next James Bond after Sean Connery? Is the colourised Daleks just the different birthday cake to ruin? | |||

"I was the fan, and I enjoyed being serviced" After a decade, Ben and Mark bring On the Time Lash's NuWho Watchthrough to an end with a discussion of The Power of Doctor, paired up with Big Finish's wildly experimental 40th anniversary audio adventure - Zagreus. And since it's the end, Ben and Mark discuss the big issues: How to lend gravitas to the name Uncle Winky, why The Power of the Doctor is a pitch-perfect satire of modern fandom, a celebration of Sacha Dhawan's Master, the meaning of an empty chair, why Paul McGann doesn't wear robes, the impossibility of explaining the plot of Zagreus, and a lament for when Big Finish took big swings. And what is the imbecile/Icini conundrum? With thanks to Roger Langridge | |||
