PODCAST

Time Ram

Time Ram, a Doctor Who podcast which randomly selects a mismatched Doctor and story from 60 years of the show and attempts to ram them together. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn"t, but if you"ve ever wondered how "Mummy on the Orient Express" would have looked in the Colin Baker era, or how "The Caves of Androzani" would work starring Peter Capaldi, then Time Ram is the podcast for you. The regular hosts are Rupert Booth, Paul Ferry and Barry Williams.

It's Time Ram, the Doctor Who podcast that gives discontinuity a try, and this episode we turn Madame Vastra's special eye on to 'Deep Breath' but now starring Patrick Troughton!

Time Ram shakes the magic 8-ball and finds a Pyramid at the End of the World, but starring Christopher Eccleston instead of Peter Capaldi. But how can this be, when Extremis took place during the Jon Pertwee era? Frankly, we don't know, maybe all will become clear.

Time Ram ·

Time Ram gets more low brow as we take David Tennant's 'School Reunion' and re-imagine it for the first Doctor, William Hartnell. That sounds like a bad idea, you say? Like that's ever stopped us! Anyway, it means that we get to press the 'don't land properly' switch on our Dodos, confuse Katarina and Kingdom, and explore Barbara's marital problem. Also: scenes happen. Controversy!
