Audio 28: Theatre Theater (Redacted)
July 10, 2022 15:57 - 1 hour - 76.2 MBWe all now belong to the Church of Sil. Look, it’s a podcast about old doctor who characters coming back and appearing in the most random way possible.

Audio 26: Comes in Clutch ft. Steven Shinder (The Spectre of Lanyon Moor)
June 26, 2022 15:57 - 1 hour - 60.9 MBI think Kiyan spent a little too much time on knowyourmeme this week.

He rolled down his window, and I obliged the unspoken invitation to do the same. He hadContinue reading →
Audio 25: Martian Instinct Moments (Red Dawn)
June 19, 2022 15:57 - 1 hour - 45.9 MBWe call those MIMs in the business. I can’t even have any Earth Instinct Moments.

And you’re doing better than I am.Continue reading →
Audio 24: The Need to Read (The Genocide Machine)
June 12, 2022 15:57 - 1 hour - 48.9 MBIt’s kind of like the need for speed but more academic. So once upon a time I opened up a book. And I wanted to just go ahead and read it and be all chill.

Audio 23: Hot Chocolate Technology (The Marian Conspiracy)

Audio 22: Chekhov’s Firebomb (The Fearmonger)
May 29, 2022 15:57 - 1 hour - 62.3 MBEver stop and wonder what your biggest fears in life are? Probably, but what about whether you yourself are someone or something’s biggest fear?

Audio 21: The Common Courtesy to Die (Land of the Dead)
May 22, 2022 15:57 - 1 hour - 57.3 MBI wish I had the common courtesy to die 🙁 I wrote a Doctor Who fan fiction called “The Colony of the Dead” once. This is a true story, by the way.

Audio 20: Blended Seaweed (Whispers of Terror)
May 15, 2022 15:57 - 1 hour - 57.9 MBJust drop that seaweed in the blender and blend it right up. Yum. Did you hear that? That noise. The one just behind you.

May 08, 2022 15:57 - 1 hour - 52.3 MBAlternate title: Hell Yeah, Mark Strickson!

May 01, 2022 15:57 - 1 hour - 48.5 MBNothing more grating than a cheese grater, especially when you’re using it to grate yourself. Going to town with it on your own body.

351: Super Mario Hops (Legend of the Sea Devils)
April 24, 2022 15:57 - 1 hour - 58.4 MBDid you know that Sea Devils actually have major hops? This week we return to the podcast that kicked off everything.

It’s Legend ofContinue reading →

December 12, 2021 16:57 - 1 hour - 72 MBYou heard it here first, from the podcast that the show is based on rather than the other way around ™.

And three episodes from now we’ll basically haveContinue reading →
348: Stick With Me Here, But John Cena as the Master (Survivors of the Flux)
December 05, 2021 16:57 - 1 hour - 72.1 MBTrust Your Doctor normally has insane ideas, but this time they’ve gone too far. We’re rapidly closing in on the end of possibly the whirl windiest season of Doctor Who ever written. It’s bizarre, it’s amazing, it’s huge. It’s everything you ever wanted from a Doctor Who story. Or at least, that’s what the boysContinue reading →
347: I Regret Nothing and I Don’t Take it Back (Village of the Angels)
November 28, 2021 16:57 - 1 hour - 67.4 MBWell, I suppose it was worth a shot trying to get him to take it back. (Editor’s note: No.) We somehow went this entire episode without making a “Children of the Stones” joke. Can you believe that? I can’t believe that. We made a dozen of those jokes while we were watching the episode, soContinue reading →

November 21, 2021 16:57 - 1 hour - 63.1 MB1 step forward, 23597908945832974317590327591375932175 steps back. Have you ever seen that Disney Christmas special, “Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas?” I remember owning it on DVD as a kid, but I actually for some reason remember thinking that the sequel, “Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas” was better. I don’t know why I remember this. I’m notContinue reading →
345: Flux Repellent Shields (War of the Sontarans)
November 14, 2021 16:57 - 1 hour - 69.3 MBCome one, come all, come and see the magical flux repellent shields on the Luparian fleet. Flux repellent sounds like some sort of AXE body spray knock off. Did the UK have the phase where every middle schooler ever wore AXE? Cuz we certainly had it over here in the US and some might argueContinue reading →
344: The Luparian Steve Jobs (The Halloween Apocalypse)
November 07, 2021 16:57 - 1 hour - 65.7 MBDoes every culture have a Steve Jobs analogue? This episode, both the TV episode and our podcast episode, are a little bit chaotic. We drop a lot of theories on this episode, amazingly they’re all probably going to be wrong. At the same time, can yo believe that? I can. We’re known for it atContinue reading →
Trust Your Doctor is Back!
October 31, 2021 15:57 - 5 minutes - 3.94 MBWe’re back, again! It hasn’t been that long, just 4 months or so, but we’re finally back.

Show-notes: You needContinue reading →
343: Like Getting Slapped With a Wet Sock (The Airzone Solution)
June 06, 2021 15:57 - 1 hour - 63.9 MBAh, my favourite sensation. So in the future, when we’re all wearing masks in order to stay alive, do you think we’ll look back on this movie as a warning? Probably not in al honestly, I think most people probably don’t even remember that it exists. I didn’t. And I wish to never again. SeeContinue reading →
Redux 14: Classic Who Ends with Furries ft Steven (Survival)
May 30, 2021 15:57 - 1 hour - 65.4 MBI can’t believe this, furries are canon. Ah the end of two eras, almost if it weren’t for the last minute decision we made that makes this not the final episode before the hiatus. Instead we return with a shitty TV movie in a week. No not that TV movie. Not the one you’re thinkingContinue reading →
Redux 13: Radically Unfair Trial (Timelash)
May 23, 2021 15:57 - 1 hour - 56.9 MBWe’re beyond just regular unfair trials now. Honestly in hindsight revisiting this was a mistake. This was a completely nonsense episode to revisit. And it wasn’t even good! Like it was just bad! And yet for some reason we say down like “yeah you know what episode I wanna revisit, Timelash.” Somebody get the TARDISContinue reading →
Redux 12: PJ Hammond Would’ve Liked This Story (Enlightenment)
May 16, 2021 15:57 - 1 hour - 61.4 MBPJ Hammond is underrated. Kind of like how certain Doctor Who stories are underrated. Like The Sensorites. Or Carnival of Monsters. Both stories. Both typically rated under stories that they, for whatever reason, outshine. Actually, I just made that up. I have no idea whether The Sensorites and Carnival of Monsters are generally beloved orContinue reading →
Redux 11: Choose Sarcasm (Genesis of the Daleks)
May 09, 2021 15:57 - 1 hour - 63.4 MBYou don’t choose sarcasm on a daily basis? You’re missing out. Kind of like how we’ve missed out for the last 2,100 days on releasing an episode covering Genesis of the Daleks. Why are there no Doctor Who podcasts that only cover Genesis of the Daleks? The world may never know. Anyway, this week it’sContinue reading →
Redux 10: Goings On that are Going On (The Daemons)
May 02, 2021 15:57 - 1 hour - 49.2 MBBetter than going off, amirite? Look one time the brig showed up at the bar I was at and asked for 5 rounds rapid. Now I thought he meant guns so I shot five glasses off the table. Bartender didn’t like that and made me pay for them. That’s all, that’s the whole story. Wasn’tContinue reading →
Redux 9: Future Flannel (Tomb of the Cybermen)
April 25, 2021 15:57 - 1 hour - 50.2 MBFuture flannel > present flannel, prove me wrong. So once upon a time I met this crazed archaeologist, his name was like Toberman or something. He took me to this tomb where he said there was a golden idol he wanted so he went in there and got it. There was this giant boulder andContinue reading →
Redux 8: I For One Welcome Our New Morpho Overlords (The Keys of Marinus)
April 18, 2021 15:57 - 1 hour - 67.1 MBWell we all knew this would happen. The morphos are taking over the podcast, I’m (not) sorry to say. Honestly they’re probaly here to stay as well, they’ve been treating us pretty nicely so far, and haven’t done anything to hurt us. At least, not yet anyway. Well hear what they have to say onContinue reading →
342: M&Ms Exist (The Blood Line)
April 11, 2021 15:57 - 1 hour - 58 MBWe’re not experienced M&Mologists, but we at least know that much. I have a blood line, did you know that? It runs right through my arm. Look you can even see it sometimes, it’s blue and if you poke it this red liquid comes out. I only call it a blood line because that’s whatContinue reading →
341: The Least Apocalyptic Apocalypse (The Gathering)
April 04, 2021 15:57 - 1 hour - 51.2 MBWe are gathered here today to do a podcast. Yes you heard that, we’re out here doing a podcast did you know that? We do it every week, you should subscribe!

March 28, 2021 15:57 - 56 minutes - 38.8 MBYou know, like a troll who lives under a bridge? Doctor Who and Torchwood have had their share of trolls in our time, but this week just takes the cake. How can we sit here and listen to this absolute nonsense from someone so untrustworthy? And yet for some reason this is the job weContinue reading →

March 21, 2021 15:57 - 1 hour - 46.5 MBLove. Compassion. Kindness. There are plenty of hidden 8th sins to choose from, and that’s why, now more than ever, you need to specify.

338: I’ll Try To Remember, But I Probably Won’t (The Middle Men)
March 14, 2021 15:57 - 1 hour - 46.8 MBIs there a reason why after doing the podcast for so long we have literally no short term memory? You ever heard that song? You know the one. “something something stuck in the middle with you.” The only official way to watch The Middle Men is to have that song playing just on constant repeatContinue reading →
337: Religious Sonority (Categories of Life)
March 07, 2021 16:57 - 1 hour - 47.3 MBNot to be confused with Religious Seniority. It’s Categories of Life, written by Jane Espensen and aired on August 5, 2011. Show-notes: 0:40: Seth MacFarlane created a lot of other stuff besides Family Guy. Most of it isn’t very good. 29:18: It was in Destiny of the Daleks. Thanks @Prof_Quiteamess and @lisacartman. 31:28: Shockingly, HillaryContinue reading →
336: They Keep Killing The Spinoffs (Escape to LA)
February 28, 2021 16:57 - 58 minutes - 40.5 MBDamn we can never get any Doctor Who spinoffs can we? This week on K9 and Company. Wait no wrong spinoff.

335: Confusing Confluence of Culinary Ideas (Dead of Night)
February 21, 2021 16:57 - 1 hour - 49.6 MBHonestly this title alone was confusing. We record these podcast in the dead of night now actually. Like way late at night. Like 7 PM. I know, so late right. In the UK the sun is probably still up at that time, being all a million miles from the equator and all that, but downContinue reading →
334: Different Hairstyle, Same Fists (Rendition)
February 14, 2021 16:57 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBI usually prefer to keep my hairstyle the same and change up my fists, but maybe that’s just me. This new rendition of Torchwood continues to amaze and astound. This week, we’re off to the land of the free and the home of the brave. But first, the Torchwood team (i.e. Gwen and Jack) haveContinue reading →

February 07, 2021 16:57 - 1 hour - 50.8 MBSometimes, when the stars align, you get a fourth season of Torchwood. This is that season.

You were worried for a hotContinue reading →
332: Smoking Candy Corn (Children of Earth: Day Five)
January 31, 2021 16:57 - 1 hour - 70 MBHalloween can’t come soon enough. So the children of earth are saved and the day is mine once more. We only had to sacrifice one kid rather than the 10% that the 456 requested, but the 456 are off gallivanting somewhere else. They have technology to do almost anything but replicate this weird chemical? IContinue reading →
331: Nickelodeon Slime (Children of Earth: Day Four)
January 24, 2021 16:57 - 1 hour - 57.7 MBI love slime! Children of Earth is rapidly coming to a close. Which means we’re going to finally move on to the final season of Torchwood which means oh god we’re running out of content. What are we gonna do?! Maybe the 456 should take us instead, that way we can stop making podcasts. It’sContinue reading →
330: Obsessed with Beans (Children of Earth: Day Three)
January 17, 2021 16:57 - 1 hour - 45.6 MBReally riding this bean trend a little late. Are we all ready to hear the story about the beans? You know the beans that I bought the other day?
