The Who Watch Podcast

It's time to say goodbye to Two...

We're only on bleedin' Gallifrey this episode, as we wave the 60s goodbye, in the War Games Part Two.

Hear our thoughts on the final episodes; our mourning of Jamie and Zoe; and which characters we hope were paid well for their repeated appearances.

We're back next week with a little chat about this era, and our thoughts on what might be coming down the track!

From the absolute dregs, to one of the greatest of all time...

We've popped our helmets on, thrown ourselves into the trenches, and given ourselves shell-shock as we head into part one of our thoughts on The War Games.

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.

Y...

It'ssssss time for another epissssssssode...

We're back on the Moon with the very ssssssssscary but sssssssssexy (Beth's view, not David's) Ice Warriorsssssssss who are trying to deploy their ssssssssssseedssssssss of death!

As well as the mouldy seeds, there's lots of use of the C-word (mostly bleeped, and all complimentary); find out why we're holding a moment of silence for Wendy Padbury's iconic leather trousersuit; and, can you tell me the number between 29 and 31? Find out which member of the Who Watch can't.

Set sail for the Gond planet...

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.

We mention the wonderful Daryl Joyce in this episode - check their work out here! (Daryl's site does include his nude life drawings, just so you're aware!)

OH MY WORD!

We're back with part two of The Invasion - which is a rather iconic affair.

There's really crap French accents, Paddy McGuiness impressions, and a proposal for a new spin-off, all about the UNIT Insurance team. We're available for a small fee.

We're back next week with The Krotons - show us yer Gonds!

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.

We've hopped on the Windrush Line, changed at Canada Water, and scooted into the Underground for this next story - and we're not alone...something furry has returned!

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.

Plus, there's our usual fun facts, background...

*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.

Next week - we're finally off to Oz (no, not that one) to battle The Enemy Of The World...

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...

*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.
