Episodes
191: Kill the Sun (42)
March 11, 2018 15:57 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MBPerhaps we need to rethink our goals for this podcast… This week we remind everyone that Nokia totally collapsed. That’s right, that really big phone manufacturer totally ruined themselves. It was no one’s fault but their own. It’s 42, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on May 19, 2007. Doctor Who © The BBC AnyContinue reading →
190: Wet Bone Cracking (The Lazarus Experiment)
March 04, 2018 16:57 - 46 minutes - 63.2 MBOnly on Doctor Who will you hear “wet” bone cracking. Ew. You might say that the man who wrote this story is a greenhorn. You know, like a guy who is new or inexperienced at the task at hand. No? Never mind. It’s The Lazarus Experiment, written by Stephen Greenhorn, and aired on May 5,Continue reading →
189: Hovering Over Hooverville (Daleks in Manhattan & Evolution of the Daleks)
February 25, 2018 16:57 - 1 hour - 42.5 MBSo many hoovers, so little time. And now, Martha Jones in her first two parter. Featuring the Daleks, because bloody hell do the Daleks ever not appear? Can you imagine if they named an episode “Mystery of the Daleks” and then didn’t have the Daleks appear at all? The mystery is, where are they? It’sContinue reading →
188: Being Angry Isn’t That Fun (Gridlock)
February 18, 2018 16:57 - 44 minutes - 30.3 MBForget being angry, I’m all about being sad now. Gridlock is unfairly maligned. I’m putting that opinion here in writing, so you can never argue that I’ve said it, even if the audio for this episode gets garbled and never released. Or corrupted by the forces that be (looking at you Russell T.) It’s Gridlock,Continue reading →
187: The History of Inn-keeping (The Shakespeare Code)
February 11, 2018 16:57 - 46 minutes - 32.1 MBInn-keeping is a very old and difficult profession. This week Trust Your Doctor gets super spooky… in February. Why not, I guess, why not just release scary things in February? Nothing says you have to release them in October. It’s The Shakespeare Code, written by Gareth Roberts, and aired on April 7, 2007. Doctor WhoContinue reading →
186: Weird Sci-Fi Rain (Smith and Jones)
February 04, 2018 16:57 - 43 minutes - 29.6 MBEverybody knows that sci-fi rain is better than regular rain. This week we start another season of reboot Doctor Who. We’re really motoring on through these, we’re a third of the way through 10’s run already, can you believe it? It’s Smith and Jones, written by Russell T. Davies and aired on March 31st, 2007.Continue reading →
185: Who Haven’t the Time Lords Killed? (The Runaway Bride)
January 28, 2018 16:57 - 45 minutes - 63 MBSo far they should honestly be at the top of the kill count if we had them on there. Trust Your Doctor moves through the years pretty quickly, which means it’s already Christmas again. Yes, that’s right, it’s Christmas. Merry Christmas. It’s The Runaway Bride, written by Russell T. Davies and aired on December 25,Continue reading →
Special 8: The Four Year Anniversary!
January 25, 2018 16:57 - 14 minutes - 19.4 MBI only know one thing: the podcast must die. Well this year we put out our least enthusiastic and most unnecessary anniversary episode ever. Next year’s going to be a big celebration because it’s our 5-year, and then after that it’s kind of “eh who cares.” You feel me? Anyway, thank you all for listening,Continue reading →
184: Cockblocked by the Universe (Army of Ghosts & Doomsday)
January 21, 2018 16:57 - 58 minutes - 40.2 MBUniverse turns out to be kind of a jerk this week. Well, nothing even worth watching for anymore. Rose is “dead”, the Doctor is about to become a mopey teenage boy, and Russell T. has clearly run out of ideas already. It’s Army of Ghosts and Doomsday, written by Russell T. Davies and aired onContinue reading →
183: At Least We Have Eurovision (Fear Her)
January 14, 2018 16:57 - 54 minutes - 37.8 MBAmerica has it now too. I think. This week we’re continuing the whole “Doctor Who sucks and we’re pretty sure we should just shut it all down right now” thing we started last week. Trust us, it’s bad. It’s Fear Her, written by Matthew Graham and aired on June 24, 2006. Doctor Who © TheContinue reading →
182: Play the Benny Hill Theme Over This (Love and Monsters)
January 07, 2018 16:57 - 41 minutes - 28.5 MBCouldn’t make the episode any worse. Things are about to get pretty rocky on the show. Trust Your Doctor and Doctor Who. Both of them. Look it’s just bad, it’s that point in the year where we have to wonder if it’s really worth continuing the show anymore. Because Doctor Who is a bit ropeyContinue reading →
181: Satan Comes Down Your Chimney (The Impossible Planet & The Satan Pit)
December 31, 2017 16:57 - 55 minutes - 38.2 MBEvery Christmas I think to my self “Move over Santa, it’s Satan’s time to shine now.” It never works. This week we’re not Kiyan and Dylan anymore, it’s edgy and dark Kiyan and Dylan. The goth versions of us if you will. We hail Satan and draw upside down crosses because we think it’s cool.Continue reading →
Christmas Special 2017 (The Hopes and Fears of All the Years)
December 25, 2017 16:57 - 18 minutes - 12.6 MBBest wishes to all of you at home. Or something. This year we decided to do a Christmas Special because apparently we just love recording so much we just had to do another episode. In fact, we love recording so much that we even decided that we’re starting a third podcast! I know! Blah: AContinue reading →
180: Little Annoying Twerps Like Me (The Idiot’s Lantern)
December 24, 2017 16:57 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MBSo I’d say we’re probably pretty annoying little twerps too. This week we watch a story that says TV is dangerous. But if we’re watching Doctor Who on TV, does that mean that Doctor Who is telling us that watching Doctor Who is bad? This is very confusing stuff this. It’s The Idiot’s Lantern, writtenContinue reading →
179: The Secret Life of Pete’s Wife (Rise of the Cybermen & The Age of Steel)
December 17, 2017 16:57 - 1 hour - 46.3 MBGuys I don’t know if this is going to sell…. This week we finally reach the new Cybermen. Because the Cybermen are what we’ve been really waiting for, all of that other nonsense? Doesn’t matter. Daleks? Nope. Autons? Nah. Cybermen. It’s Rise of the Cybermen and The Age of Steel, written by Tom MacRae andContinue reading →
178: Banana Supremacy (The Girl in the Fireplace)
December 10, 2017 16:57 - 50 minutes - 35 MBNinety-nine bushels of bananas on the wall… I have a girl in my fireplace so I don’t know what’s wrong with that really. Although actually now that I think about it my fireplace is gas burning, so maybe I’ve just been hallucinating her this entire time… It’s The Girl in the Fireplace, written by StephenContinue reading →
177: Dehydrated Rats (School Reunion)
December 03, 2017 16:57 - 56 minutes - 38.9 MBIn the end, all we need are rats. Wait… School kind of sucks, but it’s kind of cool too. There’s a big variety in my school experiences, and probably most people’s. I don’t really know where I’m going with this, because honestly I’d prefer not to have to talk about school outside of school. It’sContinue reading →
176: Boiling Water is Hot (Tooth and Claw)
November 26, 2017 16:57 - 38 minutes - 26.1 MBHot is a relative term though, maybe it’s actually cold. I’m going to need you to call a doctor as soon as possible. I don’t care which one, it’s just, I’ve been bitten by this werewolf, and I really don’t know what to do. I’m starting to feel a bit woozy, so if you couldContinue reading →
175: More Narcissistic Than Ever (New Earth)
November 19, 2017 16:57 - 42 minutes - 29.2 MBToo many mirrors, not enough time to lick them all. Looks like it’s time for Rose to actually travel with this mysterious, dashing new Doctor. In hindsight, it would be totally in character for the Tenth Doctor to lick the mirror when he looks at himself. Huh. It’s New Earth, written by Russell T. DaviesContinue reading →
174: No More Petes, Just Howard (The Christmas Invasion)
November 12, 2017 16:57 - 55 minutes - 38 MBEverybody loves Howard, the new show from the BBC. As it turns out, the best day to invade Earth is Christmas Day, 2006, when it just so happened the Doctor was totally out of commission. If the Sycorax had just showed up like 4 hours earlier they probably would have totally succeeded. It’s The ChristmasContinue reading →
The Ninth Doctor Retrospective
November 05, 2017 16:57 - 1 hour - 52.6 MBSo its come to this. Reading the Doctor Who Annual. Can you believe it? We’re just three doctors from catching up to the show. Well, it’ll be three again by this time next year, thanks to Jodie Whittaker. It feels like we’re on a never-ending treadmill of trying to catch up. It’s the Ninth Doctor RetrospectiveContinue reading →
173: Setting the Bar So Low You Could Trip Over It (Bad Wolf & The Parting of the Ways)
October 29, 2017 15:57 - 1 hour - 56.3 MBEven I could get over that bar. Looks like we killed the 9th Doctor. Us. Directly. We called in the Daleks, told them that time was a bit weak around Satellite 5 and all that. We didn’t really expect them to show up to be honest, so imagine our surprise when we watched the DoctorContinue reading →
172: The Sensation of Wet Socks (Boom Town)
October 22, 2017 15:57 - 39 minutes - 27.2 MBHow many socks have I lost to the rain? We’ve engineered the perfect crisis. We’ll just blow this nuclear reactor here, followed by that one there, then launch a space station, then blow it up, then sink half of the eastern seaboard… I’m starting to think this whole making evil plans thing wasn’t as easyContinue reading →
171: Show Me Your Moves (The Empty Child & The Doctor Dances)
October 15, 2017 15:57 - 1 hour - 41.9 MBThis is how we do it…. It’s time for the biggest war known to mankind in the 20th century maybe. The most devastating maybe if you lived in London. Yes I’m talking about World War Z. Er. II. World War II. It’s The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances, written by Stephen Moffat and airedContinue reading →
170: Death at a Funeral (Father’s Day)
October 08, 2017 15:57 - 41 minutes - 28.4 MBDid you know that weddings might as well be funerals? It’s our first seasonal special episode! Just kidding, we released a few episodes back in the day on Christmas/New Years, not that we marketed those as holiday specials. Also this isn’t really a holiday special, it’s just about an episode called Father’s Day. It wasContinue reading →
169: These Walls Aren’t Gold (The Long Game)
October 01, 2017 15:57 - 57 minutes - 39.2 MBAnybody got some gold I can use? Back to the Future this week, we’re on a satellite that broadcasts all of the news. Might be a bad idea to give a single satellite an effective monopoly over the news that everybody consumes, but what do I know? It’s The Long Game, written by Russell T.Continue reading →
168: Black Spray-painted Contraption of PVC Pipe (Dalek)
September 24, 2017 15:57 - 51 minutes - 35.2 MBEvery single prop is made of PVC. It only took 5 weeks, but this week we’re cashing in on the most popular Doctor Who villain ever created. We probably could have held out longer, but we need people to listen. It’s Dalek, written by Robert Shearman and aired on April 30, 2005. Doctor Who ©Continue reading →
167: The Famous London Marsh (Aliens of London & World War Three)
September 17, 2017 15:57 - 1 hour - 43.4 MBReally looking forward to when they bring that back. This week we return to contemporary London. Well, we did return to contemporary London which is now past London. I think. I don’t remember Big Ben getting taken out by an alien spaceship, but to be fair maybe American didn’t report on that. It’s Aliens ofContinue reading →
166: Strangulation by Dead Grandmother (The Unquiet Dead)
September 10, 2017 15:57 - 40 minutes - 27.9 MBYou shouldn’t be surprised, just because she’s dead doesn’t mean she can’t kill you. This week it turns out the world actually wasn’t blown up last week. So we had to drag ourselves to the off…garage to record a new episode of Trust Your Doctor. This week it’s The Unquiet Dead, written by Mark GatissContinue reading →
165: There’s a Sun!?! (The End of the World)
September 03, 2017 15:57 - 45 minutes - 31.1 MBLast week (ish) there was a solar eclipse, at which point there briefly wasn’t a sun. We’re sorry to report that Trust Your Doctor is ending. Turns out the Earth has been destroyed, and we were on it. Bit unfortunate that was, maybe next time we’ll try be as far away as possible when theContinue reading →
164: Evolve or Die (Rose)
August 27, 2017 15:57 - 54 minutes - 37.6 MBLet me know if there’s a secret third option. That’d be good. We’re on the downhill slope now. I mean, granted, this is an extremely long downhill slope that’s probably longer than the uphill section. Look, I don’t really know what the heck to call this. It’s a sideways trip. We’re moving leftwards. This weekContinue reading →
Special 7: The Real and Better Thirteenth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)
August 20, 2017 15:57 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MBAll I want you to know is that this is #mythirteenthdoctor. This week Kiyan and Dylan watch the final little expanded universe thing they’re watching before they get to the reboot. In sticking with completely invented and made up traditions they watched Stephen Moffat’s first contribution to the show. It’s the Curse of Fatal Death,Continue reading →
Special 6: Doctor Who was a Mistake (Dimensions in Time)
August 13, 2017 15:57 - 35 minutes - 24.1 MBUnfortunately you all know it’s true. This week we’ve made the biggest mistake we’ve ever made. But even our biggest mistake (watching this special) can’t compare to how big of a mistake it was for the show to make Dimensions in Time. It was written by John Nathan-Turner and David Roden, and it was airedContinue reading →
Book 4: Embrace Lung Cancer (Mad Dogs and Englishmen)
August 06, 2017 15:57 - 1 hour - 46.5 MBThat’s how we all end I guess. Here we reach the end of our run through the Doctors from 8 down to 1 and back up again. Two weeks of random other TV things, then we finally reach Rose. Finally. Thank god. It’s Mad Dogs and Englishmen, written by Paul Magrs and released on JanuaryContinue reading →
Audio 17: Brutally Boring (Master)
July 30, 2017 15:57 - 56 minutes - 39 MBCan you feel the change in the podcast? We’re going back to TV. This week Kiyan and Dylan are approaching the end of the Dark Years diversion. They’ve listened to their final audio for now, they’ve read their final book (you’ll have to wait until next week) and so it draws almost neatly to aContinue reading →
Audio 16: I’m a Real Penguin (The Holy Terror)
July 23, 2017 15:57 - 47 minutes - 32.7 MBAs it turns out, Penguins are the third largest flightless bird in the world after the Australian emu and the German mole rat. After last week’s rather depressing adventure, Kiyan and Dylan are back to talk about a much more uplifting and funny… oh nevermind. Well it started funny and uplifting. It… just didn’t endContinue reading →
Audio 15: Cyberman Sitcom ft. The Krynoid Podcast (Spare Parts)
July 16, 2017 15:57 - 1 hour - 61.4 MBEverybody is getting cyberized in Young and Cyber. Coming soon. This week Jim and Martin make a tepid return to Trust Your Doctor. Apparently they really like Cybermen because if you’ve been paying attention the first time they were on this glorious show was to talk about Revenge of the Cybermen. If you haven’t beenContinue reading →
Audio 14: The Mysterious British Part of America (The Valley of Death)
July 09, 2017 15:57 - 53 minutes - 36.5 MBNo one even knows where this supposed British part even is. This week we actually hear Tom Baker for the first time in 20 years! Can you believe it? He sounds…. exactly the same. Honestly don’t know what I expected actually. It’s The Valley of Death, written by Philip Hinchcliffe, adapted by Jonathon Morris, andContinue reading →
Audio 13: Jedicopter (The Sentinels of the New Dawn)
July 02, 2017 15:57 - 48 minutes - 33.2 MBOnly “Senator” Palpatine knows how to do the secret jedicopter move. This week Kiyan and Dylan have created a new world order. Turns out that was our plan all along for this podcast, we were going to use it to start this new world order thing. Not sure what we’re going to do with itContinue reading →
Audio 12: Supposedly (The Memory Cheats)
June 25, 2017 15:57 - 31 minutes - 21.6 MBYou wouldn’t happen to know what really happened would you? My memory never cheats. My memory only wins. Every time. This week we’re talking The Memory Cheats, written by Simon Guerrier and released in September of 2011. The Memory Cheats can be purchased for $8 (or your local equivalent) on Big Finish’s website. Doctor Who © TheContinue reading →
Audio 11: The Blood Tree (Domain of the Voord)
June 18, 2017 15:57 - 50 minutes - 34.8 MBNot all trees bleed, but the ones that do… they’re pretty creepy. I’m pretty certain this is the newest audio drama that we’ve listened to, which is kind of interesting because it’s also about the oldest (and one of the best) TARDIS team on the books. Unless, I guess, if you count just The FirstContinue reading →
Audio 10: Milking That Hatchet Money (The Anachronauts)
June 11, 2017 15:57 - 54 minutes - 37.4 MBApparently there are actually 5 Hatchet novels. This week Trust Your Doctor makes it to the halfway point of the audio drama side-step they did. Which means next week we listen to another first doctor story and then work our way back up again. But this week, it’s The Anachronauts, written by Simon Guerrier andContinue reading →
Audio 9: Eat Light and Die (Helicon Prime)
June 04, 2017 15:57 - 42 minutes - 29.2 MBSo this is what it has come to, the eaters of light have to die. This week we decided to walk across a nice little moor in Scotland. We watched as someone just out of view got struck by lightning. It was really weird, there weren’t even clouds in the sky. We ran over and toldContinue reading →
Audio 8: Hyper Ancient (Ghost in the Machine)
May 28, 2017 15:57 - 28 minutes - 19.3 MBEverybody knows that the hyper ancient >>>> regular ancient. This week we’ve reached the companion chronicles section of the podcast. Which means we’re at the non full cast audio section of the 16 week adventure. Which also means our episodes might be slightly shorter for a few weeks. Never fear, we’ll return to full 2Continue reading →
Book 3: Hate Fiction (The Romance of Crime)
May 21, 2017 15:57 - 45 minutes - 31.2 MBOgrons have a lot of hate stored in them. This week we drop off the audio train for a little while to do a little mental stimulation. This week we actually had to do work for this podcast and read a book, which is honestly too much brainpower for me. It’s The Romance of Crime,Continue reading →
Audio 7: Card Playing Alien (Phantasmagoria)
May 14, 2017 15:57 - 40 minutes - 27.6 MBDaleks are probably pretty bad card-players. This week Mark Gatiss returns to the podcast. Sort of. I mean, he’s not a guest or anything, he’s just written another story that we’re reviewing, which mean’s he’s the first writer to cross mediums for us. It’s Phantasmagoria, written by Mark Gatiss and released in October 1999. Phantasmagoria can beContinue reading →
Audio 6: A Lesser Disneyland Experience (The Nightmare Fair)
May 07, 2017 15:57 - 50 minutes - 34.7 MBMaybe we shouldn’t ride Pirates of the Caribbean ride then. This week it seems we’ve jumped a time-track. We’ll get it back on track shortly, I just need to recalibrate my time scanner… thing. Look, I’ve read the TARDIS manual and I still have absolutely no idea what this part is so I guess I’mContinue reading →
Audio 5: Wolf Catapult ft. Flight Through Entirety (Bang-Bang-a-Boom)
April 30, 2017 15:57 - 1 hour - 82 MBMy cunning plan to win Eurovision is to bring a Wolf Catapult to my performance. This week we’re joined by Brendan and Nathan for what is quite possibly the most inefficient (but surely the most interesting) summary of a Doctor Who story in existence. The four hosts proceed to spend about 2 hours explaining the 2Continue reading →
Audio 4: I Shot the Sheriff (Storm Warning)
April 23, 2017 15:57 - 50 minutes - 34.7 MBBut I did not shoot the vortisaur. This is the start of our crazy little romp through Big Finish/Virgin Missing Adventures/questionable quality. It’s Storm Warning, written by Alan Barnes and released in January of 2001. Storm Warning can be purchased for $3 (or your local equivalent) on Big Finish’s website. Doctor Who © The BBCContinue reading →
163: Explosions and Motorcycles (the tv movie)
April 16, 2017 15:57 - 1 hour - 48.9 MBHey look, kaboom and vroom rhyme. This week we start a new era, and then immediately end it. It’s a single episode long, albeit a much longer than usual episode. It’s a bit weird, you may not have heard of it. It’s called The TV Movie, written by Matthew Jacobs and aired in May ofContinue reading →
