328: Tea and Biscuits and Gravy (Revolution of the Daleks)
January 03, 2021 16:57 - 2 hours - 90.6 MBWe’re back and tastier than ever. Have you ever had meringue on your tea? I’m thinking now, it might not be so bad. The heat from the tea could cook the bottom of the meringue kind of like a hot pie crust would do, so that would be pretty cool. You could drink it thenContinue reading →
327: It Says Everything it Shouldn’t and Nothing it Should (Children of Earth: Day One)
December 27, 2020 16:57 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBKind of sounds like me, on the podcast. Have we ever had a five episode serial in Doctor Who? We have, right? I’m pretty sure we did but I genuinely don’t remember any more. A lot of classic who has been completely wiped from my mind because I needed the space in my brain forContinue reading →
326: 50 Shades of Morally Grey (Exit Wounds)
December 20, 2020 16:57 - 1 hour - 46.2 MBOk so this exact title doesn’t appear in the episode, sue me. Besides, we’re covering 50 Shades of Grey on Triple Play at some point soon and it’s better not to make confusing and conflicting post titles. Yes, I’m for real serious that we’re covering that trilogy at some point. If you don’t believe meContinue reading →
325: Backstory Bombs (Fragments)
December 13, 2020 16:57 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBSo once upon a time I had some fragments of memories. What was I saying? This week Kiyan and Dylan approach ever nearer to the end of this nightmare. That’s right Torchwood Season 2 ends in just one week for us. Oh what you thought I meant something else? well that’s silly of you whatContinue reading →
324: Everything Important Happens Underground (Adrift)
December 06, 2020 16:57 - 1 hour - 60.2 MBEver get the feeling that you’re overly detached from commercialization? I do. So often in fact that I’ve come up with a name for it: ad rift. Despite what it may sound like, that has nothing to do with this week’s episode. It’s Adrift, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on March 19, 2008. TorchwoodContinue reading →
323: Chris Chibnall and Custard ft. Steven(From Out of the Rain)
November 29, 2020 16:57 - 1 hour - 77.2 MBEw. I can see clearly now the rain is gone. I can see all obstacles in my way including the entirety of the Torchwood team oh god why are they standing in the middle of the tracks someone please send help on my god I can’t stop the train. It’s From Out of the Rain,Continue reading →
323: Chris Chibnall and Custard (From Out of the Rain)
November 29, 2020 16:57 - 1 hour - 77.2 MBEw. I can see clearly now the rain is gone. I can see all obstacles in my way including the entirety of the Torchwood team oh god why are they standing in the middle of the tracks someone please send help on my god I can’t stop the train. It’s From Out of the Rain,Continue reading →
322: Relationship Trapezoid (Something Borrowed)
November 22, 2020 16:57 - 1 hour - 66.4 MBA trapezoid has four sides, fun fact. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Our logo is blue, which means at your wedding you can bring Trust Your Doctor and that fulfills one of the four things you’re supposed to have. I don’t know about the rest, but you know if you need somethingContinue reading →
321: Can’t Be Bold Without Breaking the Mold (A Day in the Death)
November 15, 2020 16:57 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBI thought of food mold for a hot second while writing that title. A day in the life of Dylan is quite boring, as is a day in the life of Kiyan (probably, I don’t know). So I wonder what a day in our death will be. Maybe something just as equally boring. I’m planningContinue reading →
320: Owen’s Secret Twin Ian (Dead Man Walking)
November 08, 2020 16:57 - 1 hour - 61.6 MBOh so that’s who Ian Chatterhouse was all this time. I kind of feel like a Dead Man Walking. This episode was recorded in the pre-election era, and right now I’m sitting here feeling like the last week took 4 months. I almost didn’t recognize a single thing we were talking about, which is prettyContinue reading →
319: Barbie and The Magic of Pegasus on the Gameboy (Reset)
November 01, 2020 16:57 - 1 hour - 65.6 MBI’m a barbie girl, in a TARDIS world. I seem to remember recording this episode before. Does the mayfly reset your brain as well? Do you just forget everything that you’ve seen and learned since the beginning of your life? That would actaully be pretty great, I have a lot of things to forget. LOTSContinue reading →
318: Remember When We Did Quotes? (Adam)
October 25, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 57.7 MBI don’t actually remember when we stopped doing quotes. This week Dylan, Kiyan, and Adam take a nice deep dive into Torchwood. It’s been a little while since we watched an episode that so unnerved us that we were shaken to the very core. Our entire notion of reality itself was questioned by this episode,Continue reading →
317: Shilling for Amazon (Meat)
October 18, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 52.3 MBThis week on Amazon ™ podcasts. I wonder when Amazon will own the world and bring us Amazon Meat ™. I don’t have anything else witty to say actually just figured that that would be a funny joke to make. Meat doesn’t even sound like a word any more but I’m sure if you thinkContinue reading →
316: The Last Bastion of Hope for the English Language (To The Last Man)
October 11, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 49.5 MBYou heard it here first, English is dead. Turns out Kiyan’s entire field of study is dead except for him. You might wonder if you’re stuck inside a strange YA novel, since that seems exactly the kind of thing that would be written into one of those plots. But let me assure you, this isContinue reading →
315: Five Rounds Slow (Sleeper)
October 04, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBIt’s like five round rapid without the rapid. I never did like rapids. People go on and on about how cute they are with their long ears and fluffy tails, but really they’re just rodents, right? Or maybe that was “rabbits.” Eh. Speaking of rodents, guess who “rode int”o town this week. It was theContinue reading →
314: Jason Bourne is Now a Genre (Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang)
September 27, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 68 MBI’ll be over here committing tax fraud during the purge, don’t mind me. Once upon a time I wanted to be a secret agent. But then I realized they probably wouldn’t like some sort of weird RSA expat who lives in the US. They might not trust that I’d be working in the best interestContinue reading →
313: Date With an Active Volcano (End of Days)
September 20, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 58.9 MBTune in soon as Kiyan gets yeeted into an active volcano live. Volcanoes. They’re hard to nail down. On the one hand, they can wreak destruction on an unimaginably immense scale. On the other hand, they’re sources of life. On the other other hand (the Tenth Doctor’s hand obviously), they have nothing to do withContinue reading →
312: Radically Useless (Captain Jack Harkness)
September 13, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 49.3 MBA whole new level of useless! I’d like to be a captain. I think it’d be pretty cool to be Captain Dylan or Captain Kiyan. Imagine if we were both captains, and then it would be Captain Dylan and Captain Kiyan discuss Torchwood. Now wouldn’t that be absolutely wild? And then someone could steal ourContinue reading →
311: Suicide by Weevil (Combat)
September 06, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 45.9 MBGotta watch out for those Weevil fanatics Trial by combat takes on a new form when instead of combating each other they combat Weevils. Julius Caesar would be proud of the changes we’ve made to the format. At least I would hope so, since it really is an improvement. Now we only need to putContinue reading →
310: Topological Memessance (Out of Time)
August 30, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 53.5 MBI met a mathematician once, but he didn’t want to talk about memes. Sometimes I forget to edit everything, and then I realize that I too am out of time. Just like everyone in this episode. Can you imagine if one day I was editing, and I paused to go to the store and justContinue reading →
309: Lawn and Order (Random Shoes)
August 23, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 50.8 MBZoom zoom look at my lawn mower. There’s a notably small amount of discussion of Torchwood in this episode. I’m not really sure why. Maybe it’s because the episode was boring as hell. No really, it was really boring! And Eugene wasn’t really that sympathetic, he’s a stalker! Well anyway. It’s Random Shoes, written byContinue reading →
308: Gween and the Green Knight (They Keep Killing Suzie)
August 16, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 55 MBThe more podcasts we do the more I think we should just do The Avengers. So one day I was just walking along right, and then this girl just pops out of nowhere and stabs me! And then she uses this glove and brings me back and I’m like, what the heck. Well then IContinue reading →
307: Decorative VeggieTales ft. Steven (Greeks Bearing Gifts)
August 09, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 76 MBWe should’ve named our website that, what were we thinking? Aw man I feel like I really missed out by never watching veggietales. I mean for real so many people seem to have considered it an integral part of their childhood. Everyone on the internet talks about it as if it was some sort ofContinue reading →
306: The Village People are In Control of Everything (Countrycide)
August 02, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 60.9 MBI’m about to crack this conspiracy wide open. A lovely stroll with the Village People. I look out across the village. We are happy here. We listen to Go West every day, on repeat. In the Navy is our national anthem. And when we’re feeling really risque, we’ll listen to YMCA. We’ve all heard itContinue reading →
305: Big Finish, Open Up! (Small Worlds)
July 26, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 49 MBThe year is 2099. Big Finish prowls the street looking for non-Doctor Who fans. I had never even made any association between this and the really annoyingly catchy Disney song until right this second. And now that I’ve made that association I’m not going to be able to unmake it. Plus now you’ve probably gotContinue reading →
304: The UNIT Effect (Cyberwoman)
July 19, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 62.2 MBI wish I was a UNIT soldier who could indiscriminately fail at his job like that. Did you know I was partially cyberized once? It’s true, if you go back to some of our old episodes I’m sure you could hear when my voice would just go all cyber for some reason. Yeah that’s whenContinue reading →
303: Complementary Desert Eagle (Ghost Machine)
July 12, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 63.9 MBNot to be confused with Ghost IN The Machine. If I had a ghost machine, I’d open that puppy up when I got into my apartment to find out if someone died in here. I might not want to actually know that, actually. Can you imagine if Gwen took the machine home, fired it up,Continue reading →
302: The Seven Sins of Torchwood (Day One)
July 05, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 41.3 MBAnd the secret 0th sin: existence. The name of this story evokes strong memories of… something. Another story or tv show or movie and I just can’t really place what it is. I seriously feel like I watched something called Day One once upon a time and I genuinely cannot remember what the heck itContinue reading →
301: A Christian Reading of Torchwood (Everything Changes)
June 28, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 63.9 MBI’m probably the worst person to do this kind of reading honestly. The title of this weeks episode of Torchwood is surprisingly apt for the change in the show that we’re also going to experience. Which is why Kiyan was able to so expertly make that pun last week about it. Well not much elseContinue reading →
Redux 7: Bondage Spiderwebs (Time and the Rani)
June 21, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 48.7 MBI only like bondage anthills personally. So we’ve come to the end of our little journey, which means it’s time to jump back into the late 2000’s for some quality early 21st century television. But before that, we have to suffer through Pip and Jane Baker’s masterpiece. Some say it’s their greatest work, their magnumContinue reading →
Redux 6 : Chekhov’s Stinger (Mindwarp)
June 14, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 49.7 MBIt’s like a shitty version of the mystery mobile. Alright gang buckle up because we’re coming to the end of this insane ride and we’re doing it right. And by doing it righ I mean we’re mindwarping ourselves, so I’ll putting my brain in Kiyan and he’s putting his brain in me and then absolutelyContinue reading →
Redux 5: Sea Devil’s Advocate (Warriors of the Deep)
June 07, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBCan’t wait to see all of the Sea Devil photoshops we’ll get out of this. I find it interesting that in reality the Silurians are the ones in charge of this story, completely and utterly. But while they may be the ones in control, they aren’t the ones who lend their name to the titleContinue reading →
Redux 4: Anthony Read’s Timeless Children (Underworld)
May 31, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBWhat if Anthony Read had actually written The Timeless Children? Personally I find that my dreams have taken me to the real life underworld much more than this story ever did. It’s pretty hellish down there, so I’m gonna give you all a warning. I’ve become best buds with some of my demons though, whichContinue reading →
Redux 3: That Vague Memory of 6 Years Ago (The Monster of Peladon)
May 24, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 50.4 MBI only have vague memories of 6 years ago apparently. In this episode Kiyan will espouse the belief that you should watch Monster of Peladon every single day, over and over and over again until you get it. Now I don’t necessarily disagree, but I have to wonder, is that what people want us toContinue reading →
Redux 2: It Is I, British Man (The Space Pirates)
May 17, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 68.4 MBIt’s me, the newest superhero! I’m not saying that we’ve engaged in time piracy, stealing Doctor Who from the present then talking about it in the past and then having the show recreate the show from our podcast, but I’m not saying that we didn’t either. Why didn’t Bo Holmes write a story about TimeContinue reading →
Redux 1: A Little Religious Strife Never Hurt Anyone (The Massacre)
May 10, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 45.5 MBThis week the meme comes… Full Circle. We have returned to the site of our greatest defeat to try once again. The serial where we have broken so far from common accepted fan criticism. And we stand here, upon the ruins of our empire, to say… We were right all along. It’s The Massacre… again.Continue reading →
300: We’re Gluttons for Punishment (Daleks – Invasion Earth 2150 AD)
May 03, 2020 15:57 - 47 minutes - 32.4 MBThis is episode 300. 300! This week we continue to avoid starting Tochwood, and then even come up with more ways to avoid Torchwood for the next coming weeks! Can you believe that? Because honestly I can’t. I’m amazed we’ve been able to do that somehow. It only comes at the expense of revisiting allContinue reading →
299: Slowly Perishing Rubber 1965 Dalek Outfit ft. Brendan and Nathan (Dr. Who and the Daleks)
April 26, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 79.7 MBSomehow we found more content to cover. This week we set the time scoop to “random” and are joined by surprise guests Brendan and Nathan of the fabulous Flight Through Entirety podcast (among other achievements). I think we always knew that somehow we’d cover this movie, somewhere, and so we figured why the hell not,Continue reading →
298: Damn You, I.M. Foreman ft. Steven (Ascension of the Cybermen & The Timless Children)
April 19, 2020 15:57 - 2 hours - 97.4 MBWe’ve officially caught up. It’s over. It’s over. We’ve made it to the end of Doctor Who. there’s nowhere to go but down now. No more content, no more Doctor Who. No more Trust Your Doctor. We hoped you enjoyed your stay. You can now check out our other podcasts without fear of missing outContinue reading →
297: Jodie’s Hands ft. Keith (The Haunting of Villa Diodati)
April 12, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 58.3 MBOur first brand new guest in like…. ages! I honestly thought that the name of the group of people in this episode was the Villa Diodati, not the name of the house. So it came as quite a shock when doing research for this episode and I realized it was the name of the place.Continue reading →
296: The Most British Thing Ever (Can You Hear Me?)
April 05, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 45 MBNo for real, can you hear me? I honestly thought going in that this was going to be an episode where nobody could hear anyone and a deaf character was going to be the hero. Like, straight up. This story went in a completely different direction to what I expected and I kind of appreciateContinue reading →
295: Anticulture (Praxeus)
March 29, 2020 15:57 - 48 minutes - 33.2 MBToday in Trust Your Doctor, our regular life. This is truly the end of an era, this is the last TYD episode that will be recorded in the same room for… three months? Who knows how long we’ll be stuck in our homes. Did you know every episode up until this point was recorded inContinue reading →
294: The Haunting of Vila Restal ft. Argy (Fugitive of the Judoon)
March 22, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 64.5 MBThe crossover we’ve all been waiting for. I was a fugitive once. The cops came to my house, told me I was wanted for stealing toilet paper during a time of crisis. I, of course, denied it and jumped out the window. Pretty sure I broke my ankle on the way down but I didn’tContinue reading →
293: Emotional Support Companion (Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror)
March 15, 2020 15:57 - 1 hour - 44.2 MBBring back K9. This week on Trust Your Doctor: every single person you ever thought was a hero is actually a terrible person. Who could have guessed that? Not me, not you, not anyone close to these people who have been warning us for years and only just now got heard because said person isContinue reading →
292: Green Hams and Eggs (Orphan 55)
March 08, 2020 15:57 - 51 minutes - 35.5 MBMultiple hams at once, just all over. I wonder what the other 54 orphan planets look like. Do you think they look anything like bombed out earth in the future? Maybe the bombed out shell of Gallifrey was an orphan planet too, and then it become Gallifrey. And the Timelords took its orphan status away.Continue reading →
291: Invention Convention ft. JB Anderton (Spyfall)
March 01, 2020 16:57 - 2 hours - 98 MBIt’s like a science fair but worse. Weirdly enough there’s actually a new James Bond movie coming out this year. As in like, for the first time in 5 years there’s a James Bond movie coming to theatres. How do I know it was 5 years? Well because I took my dad for his birthdayContinue reading →
290: I Just Literally Don’t Care (Resolution)
February 23, 2020 16:57 - 54 minutes - 37.3 MBShould old Doctors be forgotten? I only just processed that this was the only episode of Doctor Who that aired in 2019. The one and only single one. Which is a little weird because 2019 was so damn long, at least in my life. And throughout that long span of time there was only oneContinue reading →
289: Star Wars in my Doctor Who? (The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos)
February 16, 2020 16:57 - 45 minutes - 31.4 MBWe all saw this coming to be honest. I’m pretty sure the next season of Clone Wars comes out after this episode of Trust Your Doctor. Or at least the first episode. Maybe we should make a Clone Wars podcast just so that one day we can have the inevitable (ha) title of “Doctor WhoContinue reading →
288: 6 Years Later and Still Nobody Cares (It Takes You Away)
February 09, 2020 16:57 - 52 minutes - 36 MBThis is the most depressing thing I’ve ever heard. I’ve always wanted to go to Norway. Never really had the opportunity to do so though. Which is a bummer because it always looked nice. I wonder why this episode is set in Norway and not Sweden. A good question for another time. It’s It TakesContinue reading →
287: Frogtor Who (The Witchfinders)
February 02, 2020 16:57 - 57 minutes - 39.8 MBRibbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit. Something something the Crucible is actually about the Red Scare. Well not actually. It was really about the witch hunts, but it’s supposed to be heavily about the Red Scare. Drawing parallels between the two really. But as Kiyan says “intentionality doesn’t matter” so in many ways you couldContinue reading →
