Life looks better in colour!

Before we crack into Season 7, we thought we’d have a look at the other 60s Doctor, one Peter Cushing!

Hear our thoughts on a very different interpretation of the show, featuring a smaller Susan, time-busting robberies, and more Daleks than you can shake a stick at! Plus, we’ll look back on the 60s, and ask how it’s shaped the Doctor Who we love today.

We're back next week with our first foray into the 70s - Spearhead From Space!

Find out our thoughts on the Master headcanon; why we're doing Lady Gaga impressions; how we reacted to ACTUAL PATRICK FROM EASTENDERS; and why we're obsessed with the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, saying "for god's sake".

We're back next week with the final set of episodes of the Troughton years - as...

We say this with no great joy - this one may have broken us.

We head to the planet Lydia Tár in what may be one of the worst experiences of our entire lives aka The Space Pirates.

Find out what two very confused, utterly exhausted 20-somethings make of what is considered by some to be one of the worst Classic Who serials; hear David's half-awake impression of Cate Blanchett from the movie Notes On A Scandal; and why Beth is the inverse J.K. Rowling. Very normal chats.

We meet the Krotons on their rather smelly planet, and fondle some Gonds along the way!

There's plenty to get your teeth into, including the appearance of the late, great Pete Burns, Beth's bra crystal, David's impression of those weird existential 60s children - or is it Diana? - and the underrated Kylie classic, Sexercise.

OH MY WORD!

Plus, there's our usual fun facts, background characters, quotes, and Scott chooses the winner of Song Of The Story!

We're off now for a little post-season nap, but don't worry - there's some more bits and pieces with ar Scott...

A moment of silence for Queen Vic...

Oh we do like to be beside the seaside! Except when it's covered in evil seaweed, and it causes your faves to have a breakdown.

In this episode, we open the first chapters of the UNIT dating controversy, discover Beth's Trekkie teacher's love for Chris Pine, think about cooking some Intelligence fungus, and wonder whether Girls Aloud will ever top their most iconic moment - Cheryl complaining about being at the highest point in Greece.

Plus, there's our...

*Jennifer Coolidge voice* Yeah! The world!

We've gone back to 2018 (or forward from the perspective of our TARDIS Trio) and found we completely missed a mad political figure, hell bent on world domination! No, not him. Or him. Or even him.

It's only Salamander!

In this episode, we hold space for an iconic Doctor Who story, throw in some thoughts on Wicked, bring up Charlie Sheen for some reason, and discover yet another iconic bop in Billie Piper's back catalogue.

*applies screeching brakes*

As heard on trains across Britain, due to unforseen circumstances, we're taking a slight detour...

Beth's realised we're halfway through the Second Doctor's era, so we're taking the chance to evaluate what we've thought so far.

There's chat about animation, mysticisim, and whether Jamie McCrimmon and Ryan Sinclair are just the ultimate himbos.

Hope you've still got last week's thermals on for another snowy story!

This time, a new Ice Age has the Earth in a spin - but there's something far more ssssssscary frozen in the tundra.

In this episode, we're analysing AI as though we're proper experts and not just opinionated so and sos, there's talk of how much damage a tiny little bear could actually do, and, just like Ed Sheeran (IS THAT ED SHEERAN?!), we're poo-pooing on Band Aid.

Plus, there's our usual fun facts, background characters, quotes, and...

We're back next week with The Faceless Ones - and we're not ready to say bye to Ben and Polly!

*car breaks screech* Let's take a slight detour, dear listener...

We've reached the end of the First Doctor's era, and we're not quite ready to say goodbye to William Hartnell!

So, what better than to close his era out with a trip back to where it all started?

This week, we're watching the docudrama An Adventure In Space And Time, made in 2013 for the 50th anniversary, that tells the story of the creation of Doctor Who.

Before the junkyard, the police box, and the teachers, there was...

It's all been leading to this...

This week, we've been watching The Tenth Planet, a dramatic conclusion to the First Doctor's story...and we're a little bit cut up about it!

There's the introduction of one of the most iconic villains in sci-fi, a rather iconic fringe served by ar' Polly, pin-ups, homoeroticism, and the first ever regeneration.

It's a big one - it's for the girls.

We're so back!
