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.

Time Ram 020: The Abominable Dr Five

Time Ram ·

2022/10/14

This week we re-examine that Doctor Who standard, 'The Abominable Snowmen', which with our typically exquisite timing, we recorded before the animation came out! Yay for us. But that doesn't matter anymore, because as we now know, this story was made in the 1980s with Peter Davison, and is no longer missing!* So it's time to search the TARDIS trunk for that unidentifiable object, establish that this definitely isn't Heathrow and discuss the danger of the Pharos project. Join us as we play hide the

Time Ram 019: The Jollity Patrol

Time Ram ·

2022/09/30

This time (ram), special guest star Melanie Clark - international streamer and Who-fan - joins us to examine that Peter Capaldi phenomenon, 'The Happiness Patrol'. In this classic episode, the Doctor visits colony world Terra Alpha, where grumpy old gits are not welcome. Most of the Time Ram team would not last 2 seconds! So we keep our distance, and discuss extra-dimensional pockets, cheerleaders, classic sitcoms and The Chuckle Brothers. And maybe - just maybe -we'll get to see some factories

Time Ram 018: The 'Tache Pirates

Time Ram ·

2022/09/16

We begin this episode with the premise that pirates are cool - but perhaps not these pirates... 'The Space Pirates' starring Tom Baker. Thankfully, none of that stops us doing gags about seamen and the poop deck! We also talk about this classic Doctor Who story, when not distracted by thoughts of Gerry Anderson, class war, staring at Acton and Victorian legs. Somewhere, there's a much more exciting adventure taking place with the V41-HI and Alpha Darts, but in the meantime, we're here with this very

Time Ram 017: The Bells of Allons-Y

Time Ram ·

2022/09/02

In tonight's thought experiment, we feature David Tennant starring in 'The Bells of St John' and try to work out how different that would be. Suddenly it's 2008, which is longer ago than it feels, and instantly we're full of Standard Def Mockney goodness, trying to work out who could possibly replace Celia Imrie. Could it be...? Only one person, surely? Meanwhile, there's gherkins, potential Wilfred Mott, gags from 'City of Death' and that old RTD/Moffat debate. Who could possibly win? There's only

Time Ram 016: Cinema Veritas

Time Ram ·

2022/08/19

This is Time Ram, currently number 14 on Feedspot's list of the top Doctor Who podcasts! This time, we discuss the episode 'Extremis', unexpectedly starring Jon Pertwee - and some other surprising names. In the process, we get to explore terrible impressions, actual physical harm, Not-Very-American actresses and the importance of firewalls. This is not a crazy conspiracy theory, this is Vatipute from Twin Peaks 1973! If all that wasn't enough, stick around for our special bonus section, where

Time Ram 015: A Jolly Good Bottom

Time Ram ·

2022/08/05

This time we feature William Hartnell starring in the Christopher Eccleston classic 'The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances', or as we must now call it: 'The Empty Child / Air Raid / Hospital of Fear / Volcano Day/ Unexploded Bomb / The Doctor Dances'. In the process, we learn what nanogenes are called in the 1960s, who starred in 'Maigret', what happened to Jack's squareness gun, and what Ian's hand thing is all about. Everybody lives! Probably.

Time Ram 014: The Sea Turloughs

Time Ram ·

2022/07/22

This time, we examine the Peter Davison classic from 1984: 'The Sea Devils'. You remember it: the one where all those extras playing Sea Devils in heavy leather Samurai costumes drowned in the sea. The story in which the Doctor visits the Master in prison and finds him affable and friendly... No wait, this is the Ainley Master, isn't it? The story in which the Doctor visits the Master in prison and finds him as mad as a box of frogs. The one in which Tegan is a good and capable helpmeet. The one in

Time Ram ·

2022/07/08

Join us as we discuss Sylvester McCoy's 'The Green Death', featuring Nick Berry, Alun Armstrong, John Woodvine and... Ken Dodd? Really? Are we going there? Apparently, we are. Also: Helen Mirren. In the process, we investigate giant maggots, Margaret Thatcher, brass rubbing, Fell's fall and dozens of single and double entendres. Ooh err missus! And yet... still we somehow fail to answer the most critical question of all: what happened to all those other creatures on Metebelis 3? Did the spiders just

2022/06/24

This is Time Ram, the podcast that randomly mashes up different eras of Doctor Who, and welcome to our latest episode: Paradise Towers as you've never imagined it! Transposed to the 1970s and the Tom Baker era, this is Paradise Towers with grimy locations, paddling pools, sanitised BBC future punks and Suzie Quattro. What would the rezzies be like in the Golden Age of Old Ladies? Would the BBC really be able to secure the services of Carrie Fisher? How old is that Kang at the back? All this, and the

Time Ram 011: Mission to Department S

Time Ram ·

2022/06/10

This time, Time Ram discusses the Jon Pertwee story 'Mission to the Unknown' - a famously colourful story, celebrating the glam and huge 'taches of mid-seventies Britain. It's the era of Jason King, open shirts, big medallions and endless smoking. Thrill to Alpha Centauri and the Giant Clams! Gasp at the thought that Terry Nation is still, somehow, trying to get his Dalek series off the ground! But will Mark Seven be involved? Probably not. Meanwhile, Doctor Who is producing its most star-studded

Time Ram 010: The Professor, Ace and the Chase...

Time Ram ·

2022/05/27

This time, we examine Sylvester McCoy's 'The Chase', ably assisted by our special guest star: writer Jon Blum, of New Adventures and BBC Books fame! In the process, we learn about Doctor Who as sitcom, Terry Nation's thought processes, how to cast Larry Hagman and whether Ace attended Coal Hill School. We also get to meet Dalek Putey, and come down hard on the whole Marie/Mary debate. Most critically, just how much of 'The Chase' can we cut? All of it? Let's find out!

Time Ram 009: Nightmare of Fraxoie

Time Ram ·

2022/05/13

Welcome to Time Giraffe! This time, we make sounds on the internet about the Matt Smith story 'Nightmare of Eden'. In the process, we learn that there is more to it than Z-grade monsters encountering a party of Gearon's pac-a-mac fans. No, this is an Empress and Hecate s***fest, featuring the return of Steven Berkoff and Time Ram favourite, Helen Mirren. There's Della doing stuff, Tryst's terrible accent and a deep message about the internet! Wipe your history, folks.

This time, it's that legendary Matt Smith episode, The Curse of Peladon. "Curse" being the operative word, as we delve into Grun's limited vocabulary. Yes, it's our 15-certificate episode, so be warned! For those who dare to proceed further, there's also Star Trek, Ed Sheeran, Crumhorns, medieval fire safety standards, Nigel Farage and a CG claw giving it some. Learn how Jo's IQ varies with skirt length and why King Peladon has no game. Join us as we confront the hermaphrodite hexapod in the

Time Ram 007: Christmas on Androzani

Time Ram ·

2022/04/15

Our first regeneration story! In this episode, we discuss the classic final episode of the Peter Capaldi era from 25 December 2017: 'The Caves of Androzani'. Which just leaves us one dilemma - which companion is in this anyway? All we can agree on is Don't Kill Bill. After that, it's the Cheeky Girls, evil Christmas trees and gags about blowholes all the way. Well that's Time Ram for you, innit. Also starring: Derek Jacobi, Chris Addison and Helen Mirren. Always Helen Mirren.

Time Ram 006: Attack of the Hartnell

2022/04/01

Welcome to the vision that is William Hartnell in 'Attack of the Cybermen'. It's the "brand new" podcast episode that "may" or "may not" use "quotation fingers"! The podcast where we learn about that high level laziness that requires you to actually put a lot of effort in. In the meantime, we establish a new rule, Rupert writes some notes and we fantasize about becoming a hardened walnut. It's the space year 1985, and Ian and Barbara are finally about to get home - or are they? Could the Doctor

Find out what happens when a format we haven't given enough thought to turns around and bites us on the a***! Suddenly we find ourselves in a world of pervert scientists and hyper-babies, a cheap 2001 and craving the claw! A world of Monoids, Menoptra, Sensorites and Visians, where only the Meddling Monk can save us! As we move from Easy Yellow to Moderate Red Alert,

Forget Tennant, now we have Patrick Troughton starring in The Waters of Mars! 60 minutes of rapid action replaced by 6 mostly missing black and white episodes shot in Lime Grove D! It's foam not water! It's the Final End, not the Time Lord Victorious! It's Jamie, not Jiminy Cricket! Servo Servo not Gadget Gadget! Groggy not grubby! It's Louise Pajo, Graeme Harper muttering behind the director's back, Cliff Richard and giant bulbous heads and maybe... Ice Warriors? So close you can feel their fire

Time Ram 003: Maximum Power of Three

Time Ram ·

2022/02/18

This time we reimagine 'The Power of Three' from 2012 for the Tom Baker era. In the process, we learn who is the most unreliable Doctor Who guest star, whether the fourth Doctor enjoys domesticity, what sort of parties they had in the Seventies, the shady background of Brian Sullivan and what crafty Mogarians get up to. Things get less relevant as we work out what it would be like to live in the James Bond title sequence, and what sort of shop Grace Jones would own. Maximum Power!

In episode 2 we get to look at Sylvester McCoy's 'The Krotons'. In the process, we learn about the Wonds, Delta's slot, the Sinister Sponge and Leela not looking like Leela. What is it with Selris's clenched fists? Why is Beta perfectly named? Tune in for the Lament of the Dynatrope and Keff McCulloch's sad twinkle.
