2022/06/23

Never fear dear listeners, this title has no bearing on our opinion of this PERFECT serial. This episode: we emerge from our hiatus like butterflies from a chrysalis, Rosie returns to the Television and Movie Store, a musical segment is ruthlessly cut for future content, we lament the lack of beards on Doctor Who, Aym forgets that dramedy is a word, and there is a surprise cameo from Rosie’s dad!

This episode: we recorded this before canon Thasmin and god does it show, Rosie shares a brief but extremely embarrassing anecdote, we forecast a future Mountain Goats release, there is (no joke) a tangent about the development of elevator technology, and our ongoing Z-Cars references finally reach their logical conclusion.

2022/01/27

This episode: Neither of us has a lot to say on this one, we fail to identify an episode of TOS on description alone and are duly ashamed, some robots may or may not float, and we have a truly horrifying conversation about the sex lives of Sontarans.

This episode: we pay the Cat Tax, somehow this serial is only four episodes and not six, the podcast hosts can NOT stop talking about The Mutants, a twitter poll enrages Rosie beyond reason, and we have a sprawling debate about the conflict between NuWho and its eternal desire to reinvent the UNIT fam.

🐍This episode: 🐍BIG SNAAAAAAAAAAAKE🐍, Aym says ‘oh boysie’ unironically, Rosie slanders their dad’s listening skills, we discuss characterisation and continuity in the big soup that is the Whoniverse, this is still definitely not a Star Trek podcast, and an unlikely comparison is made. 🐍 If you enjoy us yelling about big snakes for a couple of hours, we'd appreciate it if you could recommend us to a friend or leave us an iTunes review!
