Classic Rewatch: Masque of Mandragora
Gazing into Season 14 like so many 15th century telescopes, we step back to a Baker and Sladen historical piece with a talented, if singularly gendered, supporting cast.
Classic Rewatch: The Seeds of Doom
Strapping on our weed-killer backpacks, and exercising absolutely ZERO patience for thug henchmen, we plunge into the undergrowth of “The Seeds of Doom”, the closing story of Season 13.
Classic Rewatch: The Brain of Morbius
This week, Jeremy Radick calls in once again to join us for a lovely stroll through a dark and sinister laboratory, as “The Brain of Morbius” taunts us into action.
Classic Rewatch: The Android Invasion
This week, Jay is out of the studio (or IS he?) as the rest of us learn to trust no one. We’re 90% certain we’re watching Doctor Who and not Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but who can be certain?
Whovian Starter Pack (2018 Edition)
Being now just over five years since we last attempted to pull together such a ‘primer set’ of first stories, we have some incredible new content to consider when introducing new viewers to the program.
Classic Rewatch: Revenge of the Cybermen
There seems to be a running trend in social media right now of voicing unpopular opinions as conversation starters. While we have no issues with this practice — it does, after all, spur some interesting discussions — it has an undertone at times that implies that what is about to be shared will be upsetting, inflammatory, or the seed of debate-turned-argument.

Classic Rewatch: Genesis of the Daleks

Doing so, in this case, would rob us of the time we’d rather be enjoying one of Tom Baker’s most iconic performances, and a remarkably solid script from Terry Nation. (We know you had it […]
Classic Rewatch: The Sontaran Experiment
This week, Taylor from The PODcastica joins us for a surprisingly brief rewatch of Season 12’s two-part story, ‘The Sontaran Experiment’.
Classic Rewatch: Ark In Space
That favourite t-shirt, which looks a but threadbare, but is the softest thing in your bureau. That hokey song that has been around forever, and makes all your friends roll their eyes, but you still sing it at the top of your lungs in the shower. The comfort food that has all the nutritional value of a bathmat, but brings a smile to your face just preparing it. We all have those things that mean the world to us, though […]
Classic Rewatch: Death to the Daleks
We scratch our heads a bit as Terry Nation’s Third Doctor & Sarah Jane tale has the building blocks of a great story, from concept to cast, but the result somehow misses.
