Doctor Who: Watchers in the Fourth Dimension

We’re off to 19th Century Northern England, where we encounter… more violence! This time, it’s Luddites trying to stop progress, rather than violence for entertainment. Well… until you remember that the Master is involved in this, and he probably does find it all rather entertaining. On top of that, enter the Rani, as we discuss The Mark of the Rani! Join us as we discuss the ongoing shenanigans of the Ainley Master (how gay he’s become, how angry he makes Reilly, and his new way of upsetting Julie), the joys of the man with the blunderbuss (better known as Lord Ravensworth), how melatonin would have prevented any of this from happening, Peri getting groped by a tree, and how we have now head-cannoned the Doctor and the Rani kissing at Time Lord Prom. Finally, Reilly tries to up our listens by pumping up Invasion of the Dinosaurs If you would like to watch along with us, you can find this entire season available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).

Earlier this year, two episodes of The Daleks’ Master Plan were returned to the BBC from a private collector. We were elated! Anthony took a morning off work to watch them. Anyway, in this bonus episode, we discuss the two recently recovered episode and re-evaluate the whole 12-part epic in the light of the new material. Join us as we discuss how much we miss William Hartnell’s Doctor, what an amazing director Douglas Camfield was, the use of yellowface, Steven’s nipple, how Kevin Stoney is one of the best villain actors to ever grace the show, and the gimp mask that Hartnell gets to wear . We also reevaluate the character of Katarina (before she gets spaced. Whoops… spoilers!) If you would like to watch along with us, you can find these episodes on BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB) and on YouTube in the US (Episode 1: https://youtu.be/1t6x_HPwc6k | Episode 3: https://youtu.be/mY-HK7UtmkM) Finally, you can also follow us and interact with us on Facebook and Instagram.

Live torture! Live executions! Televised experimentation! It’s reality TV gone mad in Vengeance on Varos! Is this one too gruesome, or is its violence and gore used to make a point in a time of Doctor Who that’s been accused of going over-the-top on the violence? Join us as we repeatedly freak out Diana with impressions of Sil, the Catholic-style worship of video, how a society like that of Varos actually comes to exist and how it correlates to real world fascist regimes, what the punishment dome’s layout actually is, the proper way to democratically agree on ending the life of the state’s leader, and we wonder where the vengeance actually happens in this story. And, OF COURSE, Julie wants to talk about chairs!

We’re kicking off Season 22 with the fanwank fest that is Attack of the Cybermen, which, let’s be honest, is just a series of checkboxes on a rabid fanboy’s list. Oh, and that fanboy is Ian Levine. Maybe also with Eric Saward, and possibly also Saward’s ex-girlfriend? Sheesh, the authorship of this one is VERY confusing. ANYWAY…! Join us as we discuss how this story does nothing but make us think of far better stories, cyber body positivity, the problems with our new Peri-l monkey (Anthony is SO sorry for that one), posh failed Cyber converts, how the Cryons are apparently trying to seduce absolute EVERYONE, and the dumb humor that Griffiths brings to the episode . Meanwhile, in the mail, one of our listeners threatens to send Anthony “back to Twink College” – OH MY!

Recorded over six months ago, we finally bring you our Season 21 Retrospective! It’s been a long road – we started Season 21 way back in January 2026, and finally put this out at the end of August 2026. Life events led to a four-month hiatus, and so here we are, finishing up this particular journey. And so we bring you the usual blend of awards, metrics, and questions from our friends on social media that has come to epitomise the end of a season for us! Join us as we recap the season, discussing such highs as the Tiny Master, Sixie’s magnificent table jump, Turlough finally coming good, as well as such lows as the beigest Doctor of them all, excessively creepy villains, and very questionable martial arts moves (yes, we keep coming back to Warriors on the Cheap for this season’s bad moments!). Meanwhile, Reilly and Anthony sing some Prokofiev, and the crew discusses whether the Fifth Doctor’s death scene was truly upstaged by Nicola Bryant’s cleavage… If you would like to watch along with us, you can find this entire season available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).
