The Old Doctor Who Show

The Old Doctor Who Show

Doctor Who Podcast by Eric Grissom and Dan Johnson reviewing the classic era. That’s right, this is the good stuff. Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee, Baker, Davison, the other Baker, and McCoy. Maybe even McGann. Some say they do it because they ran over a magical drifter who cursed them. Others claim the show was willed to them by their long-lost British “Uncle”. Whatever the reason, the one thing you can count on is these two Americans really love Doctor Who.

For some reason, Eric and Dan are continuing their video hijinks, but that doesn’t mean you audio-only folks should miss out on our gushing, unending praise for David Tennant and Catherine Tate. We discuss the second 60th anniversary special, and Dan has a big ol’ mea culpa.
