Episodes
286: Too Good to Exist (Kerblam)
January 26, 2020 16:57 - 49 minutes - 34.1 MBThe greatest “thing” that’s ever been in Doctor Who. I sit here editing this episode on my Amazon laptop, with my Amazon Ergonomic Chair listening on my Amazon Buds. My Amazon branded air freshener releases a new scent to improve my workflow. I take a sip of Amazon approved water, delivered in an Amazon plasticContinue reading →
285: Yes, But Actually No (Demons of the Punjab)
January 19, 2020 16:57 - 58 minutes - 40.3 MBI feel really bad about not knowing anything about partition, but watching this episode for the second time has actually prompted me to look into it more. It seems to have served the Doctor Who purpose of introducing an audience to an entirely new topic that they had no idea about. Does that makeContinue reading →
284: Surfing the Skies of New York (The Tsuranga Conundrum)
January 12, 2020 16:57 - 52 minutes - 36.3 MBWe call it sky surfing here. When I heard the name of this episode I kind of imagined it as an almost Kobayashi Maru situation. You know in Star Trek, it’s the no win situation that Kirk cheats at to win, and that cheating is the reason he gets given the captain’s chair because theyContinue reading →
283: The Twitspace (Arachnids in the UK)
January 05, 2020 16:57 - 51 minutes - 35.6 MBAll of America is the twitspace. I just realized how weird it is that the villain in a UK story is an American. There’s probably more to that now that I think about it, something about how America gained its independence and now the UK hates them or something. It’s Arachnids in the UK, writtenContinue reading →
282: It’s Just Ozzies ft. Argy (Rosa)
December 29, 2019 16:57 - 1 hour - 78.1 MBOzzie Osborne that is. This week we’re joined by Argy yet again to travel back in time to Montgomery. To be fair absolutely none of us have been to Montgomery before, so it’s a bit of a new experience for all of us. I’ll be honest I think I can say with some mild certaintyContinue reading →
281: End Doctor Who Once and for All (The Ghost Monument)
December 22, 2019 16:57 - 48 minutes - 33.2 MBDoctor Who must not go on. When I saw the title for this episode the first time I was convinced it was some sort of monument to Casper the friendly ghost. Like it was going to be something super cool about this cartoon character. In hindsight I’m starting to think that would be the weirdestContinue reading →
280: I’ve Made my Final Judgement (The Woman Who Fell to Earth)
December 15, 2019 16:57 - 55 minutes - 37.9 MBWe all regenerate into women this week. Just kidding, Trust Your Doctor is still a sausage fest. Sort of. It’s kind of sobering to realize just how many male Doctor Who podcasts there are, and then compare that to the number that have, say, at least one female host. It’s The Woman Who Fell toContinue reading →
The Twelfth Doctor Retrospective
December 08, 2019 16:57 - 52 minutes - 36.1 MBThis is the end of everything. It’s kind of bittersweet saying goodbye to so many things that have kind of become staples so to speak of the show for us. Stephen Moffat, Murray Gold, Mark Gatiss, Peter Capaldi. All of them are leaving for us now. This almost feels like it might be one ofContinue reading →
279: We Want People to Cry on Christmas (Twice Upon a Time)
December 01, 2019 16:57 - 58 minutes - 40.1 MBPersonally, I make it a rule to cry on every day EXCEPT Christmas. Did you ever watch that Disney movie? Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas? Well fun fact they actually made a sequel, called Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas. And every time I watch this episode I think of that movie because the names areContinue reading →
278: Selfcest ft. Argy (World Enough and Time & The Doctor Falls)
November 24, 2019 16:57 - 2 hours - 108 MBDon’t knock it till you try it. I read a pretty good poem recently, but it wasn’t in any way related to this episode. I just thought it was a good poem. It was called “Go to the Limits of Your Longing.” Rilke wrote it. I highly recommend it. It’s World Enough and TimeContinue reading →
277: I Dream of Drashigs (The Eaters of Light)
November 17, 2019 16:57 - 39 minutes - 26.8 MBEven closing my eyes is no escape from the horror that is the drashigs. If I could subsist on light, I totally would if I’m being honest. I mean, now that I think about it, that’s kind of what plants do right? They eat light and then they turn it into food and survive. SoContinue reading →
276: It’s Me Mickey Mouse! (Empress of Mars)
November 10, 2019 16:57 - 50 minutes - 34.8 MBSince Disney owns nearly everything I can’t imagine this crossover is far behind. Given how many times Mars has appeared on the show it should be pretty easy to assemble some sort of timeline of the Martian Empire right? Also, wasn’t that killer water that killed everything it ever touched in the polar ice caps?Continue reading →
275: Blink 2017 Edition (Extemis, The Pyramid at the End of the World & The Lie of the Land)
November 03, 2019 16:57 - 1 hour - 58.3 MBAs opposed to Blink 2019 edition. It’s surprising to me that an episode so clearly about propaganda actually didn’t cause much of a splash at all when it landed. Kind of seems like everyone shrugged and looked right past it, even though it explicitly mentions a few people that this episode is clearly sending up.Continue reading →
274: Are We Not All Just Fleshy Meatbags? (Oxygen)
October 27, 2019 15:57 - 47 minutes - 32.7 MBThis sounds like a shitty Rocky spinoff. Sometimes, when I can’t breathe, I wonder what it would be like if I had to pay for my next breath. Like, if I was dying right now would I be willing to fork over the money required to keep on living? It’s a really interesting thing toContinue reading →
273: Only Kids Love Bugs (Knock Knock)
October 20, 2019 15:57 - 51 minutes - 35.5 MBSorry entomologists, I really hate to break this to you. I always thought it was going to be four knocks, you know? Like, knock knock knock knock. At least that’s what that weird fortune teller told us it was going to be. But I guess the Twelfth Doctor only requires half as many knocks. IContinue reading →
Inevitable: Episode 0
October 14, 2019 03:30 - 5 minutes - 7.77 MBThis week we have something new for you. This is Episode 0 of our new podcast, Inevitable. Because, as we all know, we’re basically suckers for attention and so as soon as someone mentioned we should watch even more sci-fi everyone has to have known that this would be inevitable. Inevitable will be available onContinue reading →
272: Glowing Cool Whip (Thin Ice)
October 13, 2019 15:57 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MBMight be from the radioactive cool whip factory. Did you ever notice how it’s always “thin ice” but never “thick ice.” You can never have thick ice, I guess, which is weird since most ice like glaciers are pretty thick. But then again I guess it depends if you measure thick or thin vertically orContinue reading →
271: Watching the Star Wars Holiday Special Every Day (Smile)
October 06, 2019 15:57 - 47 minutes - 32.6 MBI can think of worse ways to spend my time. I just watched that Joker movie and now every time I see the word Smile I think of that song that tells you to Smile all the time. You know, Smile if you want to, Smile around the world, the B-52s one. I’m pretty sureContinue reading →
270: It Starts with an “S” and Ends With a “Tar Cops”(The Pilot)
September 29, 2019 15:57 - 44 minutes - 60.8 MBOh right, the Super La Brea Tar Cops. Of course, how could I miss that? When I was a kid one of the professions I really wanted to be was a pilot. At first it was a doctor, but then I really wanted to be a pilot. Wait, a Doctor, a Pilot, my life growingContinue reading →
269: Underworld is the Citizen Kane of Doctor Who (The Return of Doctor Mysterio)
September 22, 2019 15:57 - 50 minutes - 34.6 MBTruly, the greatest Doctor Who story of all time. There’s been a lot of Christmas on the mind recently. There’s even a Christmas scene in The Pilot, so that’s like three weeks worth of Christmas for us, which is quite overwhelming if we’re completely honest. But hey, at least no more for another three months.Continue reading →
268: Johnny Depp in Wonderland (The Husbands of River Song)
September 15, 2019 15:57 - 1 hour - 52.4 MBHave you seen Johnny though? He looks like he’s always in Wonderland. I’ll be honest, I probably won’t even have one husband in my life. So to hear that River has like, 3 at least, and really 15 if you count all 13 incarnations of the Doctor as different people is really impressive to me.Continue reading →
267: Tom Baker’s Wet Dream (Heaven Sent & Hell Bent)
September 08, 2019 15:57 - 1 hour - 58.8 MB*shudders in Dalek* And here we see the rare true to life story about how someone makes it into Heaven. Simply find the nearest 25 foot thick diamond wall and spend the rest of eternity punching your way through it. It’s that simple! It’s Heaven Sent and Hell Bent, written by Steven Moffat and airedContinue reading →
266: Even More Proof That We Created Doctor Who (Face the Raven)
September 01, 2019 15:57 - 44 minutes - 30.3 MBAs opposed to a map show from literally any other country on Earth. Recently I’ve actually become a bit attached to the crows in my neighborhood. I’ll be moving soon and I’m actually a little sad you know? The crows here just have such friendly personalities I’m going to really miss them. On the flipContinue reading →
265: I Feel a New Fan Fiction Coming On (Sleep No More)
August 25, 2019 15:57 - 1 hour - 45.2 MBComing soon to Trust Your Doctor? I purchased my Morpheus system from 3P Enterprises, and it was delivered in quick time. This is the only good thing I can say about the system. Within one month of purchase I’ve started to hear the Morpheus song, even when I’m in my personal sensory deprivation tank. TwoContinue reading →
264: Perpetuating Society (The Zygon Invasion & The Zygon Inversion)
August 18, 2019 15:57 - 1 hour - 51.6 MBSociety needs to end. Ok let’s take a moment to consider how weird it would be to have a Zygon procreate with a human. Does that create some sort of Zygon-human hybrid? And if they are can they shape shift, do they still have that ability? Or maybe they can’t but if they can’t thenContinue reading →
263: Rube Goldberg Machine of Disaster (The Girl Who Died & The Woman Who Lived)
August 11, 2019 15:57 - 1 hour - 48.9 MBI’m pretty sure we’ve had a really similar title to this before. I remember when this episode title was announced a lot of people were convinced that Amy was going to be in this. Because the title bore some superficial resemblance to the Girl Who Waited. Looking at it now that’s kind of a completelyContinue reading →
262: Your Mind on Memes (Under the Lake & Before the Flood)
August 04, 2019 15:57 - 1 hour - 50.2 MBI need one of those pictures that shows the faces of people on different drugs with one for memes. I’m disconcerted by the pace at which we’re speeding through this season, if I’m being honest. It feels like my life is wizzing past my eyes as I die. It reminds me a lot of seasonContinue reading →
261: Good Old Pertwee Gunplay (The Magician’s Apprentice & The Witch’s Familiar)
July 28, 2019 15:57 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBEverything is a throwback, nothing is original. What better time to completely revamp the format for the podcast than a moment in the show when absolutely nothing changed in the show? It makes total and complete sense to me, I’m actually not being facetious right now at all. Less things that the audience has toContinue reading →
260: The Moffat Code (Last Christmas)
July 21, 2019 15:57 - 56 minutes - 38.8 MBNow for the Trust Your Doctor Code. Five words: The Rock is The Doctor. For once we can say we have a special “Christmas in July” episode of Trust Your Doctor. Because by some weird coincidence this goes out right near the end of July. Not quite on the 25th, or in the middle either,Continue reading →
259: The Interrogation of Danny Pink ft. JB Anderton (Dark Water & Death In Heaven)
July 14, 2019 15:57 - 1 hour - 80.4 MBWho interrogates soldiers? The Hague? Danny Pink you’re charged with war crimes, killing innocents, and committing genocide post mortum. We would dishonorably discharge you, but you seem so hell bent on being a soldier that we thought a more fitting punishment would be to just do nothing to you. You’ll forever be a soldier. How’sContinue reading →
258: Don’t Use Nukes to Kill Cockroaches (In the Forest of the Night)
July 07, 2019 15:57 - 44 minutes - 30.8 MBI think cockroaches are susceptible to pretty much any other form of death though. Do cockroaches actually live in forests? I was just thinking now, since London is a forest now, does that mean all the cockroaches are dead? Or did they just decide “hey what the hell let’s throw a party, the world justContinue reading →
257: The Nice Ogron (Flatline)
June 30, 2019 15:57 - 45 minutes - 31.4 MBHave you ever met a kind hearted Ogron? I’m imagining this as a sort of kids story in the Doctor Who universe for Time Lord children. They sit down because the Ogrons are some sort of myth, and then there’s a very nice Ogron who breaks away from society to be better than everyone else.Continue reading →
256: Teletubbies is Actually Really Interesting (Mummy on the Orient Express)
June 23, 2019 15:57 - 44 minutes - 30.3 MBNow hang on hear me out on this… Did you know the office where we record these episodes is right next to a train track? We usually luck out, it’s pretty rare that a train will pass while we record. It was more common when we recorded Zenith and TYD back to back, but it’sContinue reading →
255: We Can’t Just Ignore the Nukes (Kill the Moon)
June 16, 2019 15:57 - 56 minutes - 39.1 MBI’m kind of surprised the US only sent up 100 nukes. That’s like 0.0001% of their arsenal. In the continuing saga of “What the hell even is British English” I’ve gone and found out that a caretaker actually is a janitor. In fact, the dictionary explicitly lists “janitor” as a synonym for “caretaker.” Although IContinue reading →
254: Silurian Droideka (The Caretaker)
June 09, 2019 15:57 - 57 minutes - 39.2 MBHonestly I still want to know why the Trade Federation cheaped out on making more. I actually just realized, right now, while typing this summary, that I don’t know what a caretaker is. Based on this episode I always assumed it was like, the UK version of a janitor, which is what we’ve got overContinue reading →
253: Recycle Binned His Memories (Time Heist)
June 02, 2019 15:57 - 49 minutes - 34.3 MBReduce, reuse, recycle those braincells. If Trust Your Doctor was committing a heist, what would we be stealing? I would have to imagine it would be something incredibly pointless, just to say that we could. Something like a 2×4 piece of wood from the local lumber yard. Those places have major security! This is wouldContinue reading →
252: Disco Ball Full of Beetles (Listen)
May 26, 2019 15:57 - 44 minutes - 30.4 MBWell this is the worst disco I’ve ever been to! Have you ever been to an upmarket restaurant? I have, twice, to this very upscale very fancy Mexican place. Anyway that’s not related to the fact that I was going to ask, how much of a pain do you think it is to work there?Continue reading →
251: The Medieval Times Version of Robin Hood (Robot of Sherwood)
May 19, 2019 15:57 - 42 minutes - 29.3 MBAll gather around as Sir Robin shoots this Apple off my head. We use an Apple laptop to record this podcast, did you know that? Other podcast have fancy desktop systems, but what we lack in CPU power we gain in portability. We could literally record anywhere. In fact we’ve had semiserious discussions about recordingContinue reading →
250: The Earth is Flat (Into the Dalek)
May 12, 2019 15:57 - 41 minutes - 28.7 MBIt is. We need to look inside ourself this week. Like deep inside, to the parts ourselves that we never show to the light. Where the cobwebs are. Where my little spider friend Steve lives, killing any flies that make their way in. Hey Steve, hope you’ve been having a good time in there. NiceContinue reading →
249: Step Up Your Sarcasm Game (Deep Breath)
May 05, 2019 15:57 - 1 hour - 42 MBThe fourth sequel to the Step Up series. I was really hoping that this would be episode 250 but none of the numbering worked out for it to be so. I guess episode 250 is just awkwardly going to be the second episode of this season, which would probably bother some people but I’m prettyContinue reading →
The Eleventh Doctor Retrospective
April 28, 2019 15:57 - 53 minutes - 36.8 MBWell bloody hell I have nothing witty to say about 11. I really genuinely thought that for a while Deep Breath would be Episode 250 of the podcast. Of course, I had forgotten at the time that we don’t number retrospectives, and hence this episode wasn’t going to be Episode 249. Which means that EpisodeContinue reading →
248: Doctor Chibnall (The Time of the Doctor)
April 21, 2019 15:57 - 1 hour - 51.4 MBDoctor Who has an illness and Doctor Chibnall is here to solve it. And so the clock has run out. Like just totally. It’s not 11, it’s not 12, it’s just dead. Hands fell off. and nobody knows how to make clocks anymore since we all use digital clocks so I haven’t really been ableContinue reading →
247: It’ll Never Get That Bad Again (The Day of the Doctor)
April 14, 2019 15:57 - 1 hour - 51.8 MBWe’re out of it now. This week Kiyan and Dylan finally put the first 50 years of the podcast to rest. I mean the first 50 years of Doctor Who. Same thing in the end, really, when you think about it. The podcast has existed as long as the show has, didn’t you know that?Continue reading →
246: Do Androids Dream of Electric Peeps? (The Name of the Doctor)
April 07, 2019 15:57 - 1 hour - 43.1 MBI’m pretty sure electric peeps would suck even worse than normal peeps. You know, we kind of have experience with dealing with something we like to pretend doesn’t exist. It’s called Trust Your Doctor, Episode 1. We even rerecorded it like 5 years later, and then literally replaced it in the podcast feed so noContinue reading →
245: Nightmare in Quicksilver (Nightmare in Silver)
March 31, 2019 15:57 - 46 minutes - 31.9 MBWhat ever happened to Quicksilver anyway? In about twenty years I’m hoping to buy Disneyland. Why, you might ask? Because I want to rebuild it in our image. I want to build an entire Trust Your Doctor themed theme park. We’ll have the Aztecs land, where we just have people walk around dressed as Tegana.Continue reading →
244: Lucasarts Did it First (The Crimson Horror)
March 24, 2019 15:57 - 55 minutes - 38.4 MBOne day we’ll be able to prove that, but not today. When we recorded this there was a bout a 15 minute period where we just got paralyzed with fear. Turns out the Crimson Horror is the lobster we bought as a pet for the podcast. Of course, we’re only ever in the recording roomContinue reading →
243: Elon Musk’s New “Innovation” (Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS)
March 17, 2019 15:57 - 48 minutes - 33.5 MBHow many things has Elon invented now? Trust Your Doctor is a complex beast. We record in an office so sparse and huge it’s comparable to the TARDIS itself. We even have a whole room just singularly dedicated to cotton candy. Like. It’s just walls and walls of cotton candy machines. That’s all that’s inContinue reading →
242: Floral Print Pants (Hide)
March 10, 2019 15:57 - 1 hour - 41.7 MBNooo, not the floral print, please, not the floral print! The other day we were recording the podcast and then suddenly discovered that our recording studio is haunted. We’re currently being haunted by our great-great-great-great-grandchildren. Weirdly enough they’re still doing a podcast that far in the future. If you all wanted to know when DoctorContinue reading →
241: Check Out Duran Duran (Cold War)
March 03, 2019 16:57 - 45 minutes - 31 MBOnly true Duran Duran fans listen to this podcast. You know, sometimes I wonder how hard it must have been if you were an American or British spy and you were sent into Russia. You have to spend months, if not years, learning Russian, and then you have to perfect it to the point whereContinue reading →
240: Russell “Rose Tyler” Davies (The Rings of Akhaten)
February 24, 2019 16:57 - 59 minutes - 41.1 MBHow many Rose Tyler jokes can we make before this gets old? If you believe the fan theory that Doctor Who is just based on someone going back in time and reconstructing what the episodes should look like based on our podcast then by that theory our podcast represents not only how Doctor Who is,Continue reading →
