I'm joined by Emma Foster and Chris Kocher as we take a look at Lucky Day. The return of Ruby Sunday, the return of UNIT, and a new character in Conrad Clark. It gave us a bit more than we bargained for.

Jenn Allen and Rick Tetrault join me to talk on the early clubhouse leader for this series's best episode. Talk on name pronounciations and skipping intros abound. We also get into what is by any measure, a pure banger of a Doctor Who episode.

I'm joined by Mike Robinson and Ken Deep to pick through the episode 'Lux'. Featuring a look at how realistic 1950's Miami was, how Russell T Davies may feel about the fans, and a mention of a band who I feel confident you won't see coming if I gave you 100 guesses.

New Doctor Who is back, and is our episode analysis. Jenn Allen and Jonathan WIlkinson go through The Robot Revolution to talk about a new companion, gamer stereotypes and maybe an even more flamboyant Doctor than we had a year ago.

Forgive some of the sound issues. Am using a new compeuter, and currently experimenting with a new place to record these

A somewhat delayed pod on the Doctor Who Christmas episode. Mike Robinson and Rick Tetrault joined me to talk about the first holiday special to not be written by a showrunner, whether this truly is Steven Moffat's Doctor Who swansong, and an intersting fan theory on Mrs. Flood.

Our bumper roundup of the first series of the Ncuti Gatwa era includes talk on Disney, crying, and why it can be okay that the show has to leave some of the old fans behind. Emma Foster, Ro Karen and Rick Tetrault are all here as we dig through last eight episodes and look ahead to the future - as a disclaimer, Emma had a few sound issues during the recording.

Emma Foster and Jonathan Wilkinson join me as we analyse the series finale, "Empire of Death". We talk through what worked, and a lot about what didn't work. And also whether fans can sometimes look at episodes, and Russell T Davies's comments on them, in extreme bad faith.

The penutimate episode has arrived. Ken Deep and Chris Kocher help me talk through The Legend of Ruby Sunday. On old foes returning, and what Russell T Davies might have planned for us in the finale. And is this the episode where Ncuti became The Doctor?

Emma Foster and Ken Deep are my guests as we talk through the staggering 73 Yards. Millie Gibson producing an unforgettable performance, what the episode means, and what it might mean for the rest of the series.

And a heads-up as we have the odd sound issue, and there's also a brief discussion around sexual violence.

Ken has also co-edited the book "The Companions of Doctor Who" which can be purchased at - https://www.tuckerdspress.c...

Jonathan Wilkinson and Rick Tetrault are on hand as we go through 'Boom'. Steven Moffat's return delighted and disturbed us, and we also discuss war films and the difference between the social & medical models of disability.

Emma Foster and Rick Tetrault join me as we preview the new series of Doctor Who (which was recorded a few weeks ago).

We discuss our hopes & expectations, how the Disney influence is changing the show, and even some sports analogies as we worry that a UK vs Rest of the World collision could occur in the fandom.

As a new series of Doctor Who is soon upon us, Jenn Allen and Ken Deep join me as we list our respective Top 5 opening episodes ("Season Premieres" in American) of a Doctor Who series.

But before that, we start our pod addressing the news that Millie Gibson is expected to depart the show at some time in 2025, if not sooner.

As mentioned at the end of the pod, "The Companions of Doctor Who" can be purchased here (https://www.tuckerdsp...

The era of the 15th begins. Chris Kocher and Mike Robinson are here as we pick through the first Doctor Who Christmas Special in 6 years. We discuss both the new Doctor and new companion, and wonder just how long they will stick around.

This was recorded before the recent Millie Gibson news, but as we see in Doctor Who, time doesn't go in a straight line.

Our analysis of The Giggle is finally here! Emma Foster, Jan Fennick & a returning Rick Tetrault are our guests, as we talk through the many wild happenings of the final 60th anniversary special (we should note Emma had a few sound issues on her end, but hopefully you won't find that too disruptive).

Jenn Allen and Ro Karen are on board as we break down the 2nd of the 60th anniversary specials, Wild Blue Yonder. We talk about the merits or otherwise of goofy horror, the brilliance of Catherine Tate and David Tennant, and how the 14th Doctor is more like one of their predecessors than you may have realised.
