Trust Your Doctor

In this stunning podcast, two average guys try to get through as much Doctor Who as possible without going insane. Currently they’re mainlining their way through Classic Doctor Who. 800 episodes or bust, they say. And on the side, well. Books, Audio Dramas, Comics?!? Anything is possible! So in summary: They’re trying to see how much Doctor Who they can take before dying.

Redux 4: Anthony Read’s Timeless Children (Underworld)

What if Anthony Read had actually written The Timeless Children?

Personally I find that my dreams have taken me to the real life underworld much more than this story ever did. It’s pretty hellish down there, so I’m gonna give you all a warning. I’ve become best buds with some of my demons though, which is cool. They bought be a soda last week, that was nice of them. It’s Underworld, written by Bob Baker and Dave Martin and aired between January 7th and 28th , 1978.

Show-notes:

1:17: Check out our classic sci-fi podcast, Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast.
9:59: If you want to listen to us talk about Despicable Me for some reason, here you go.
18:50: Have fun with this horror.
38:30: Check out Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast, which is our Blake’s 7 podcast.

Redux 3: That Vague Memory of 6 Years Ago (The Monster of Peladon)

I only have vague memories of 6 years ago apparently.

In this episode Kiyan will espouse the belief that you should watch Monster of Peladon every single day, over and over and over again until you get it. Now I don’t necessarily disagree, but I have to wonder, is that what people want us to do with The Massacre? And if so, how is this not just some sort of twisted version of stockholm syndrome? It’s Monster of Peladon, written by Brian Hayles and aired between March 23 and April 27, 1974.

Show-notes:

8:13: The basic premise of 4 to Doomsday is that some aliens are on a spaceship headed to earth and are going to wipe out humanity with a virus.
12:05: According to the Doctor Who wiki the Fourth Doctor used a sonic lance on his sonic screwdriver in Robot.
21:30: I was talking about The Aims of Discourse by James Kinneavey. You can read it at that link for free with a jstor account.
38:43: Check out Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast. We’re currently (at the time of writing this) watching Sapphire and Steel.
1:04:36: Looks like Cold Warrior is just a random tv show from 1984. I could barely find any info about it other than this wiki page and an even more threadbare imdb page.

Redux 2: It Is I, British Man (The Space Pirates)

It’s me, the newest superhero!

I’m not saying that we’ve engaged in time piracy, stealing Doctor Who from the present then talking about it in the past and then having the show recreate the show from our podcast, but I’m not saying that we didn’t either. Why didn’t Bo Holmes write a story about Time Pirates instead? That would have been way more interesting. We were right all along. It’s The Space Pirates. Written by Robert Holmes and aired between March 8 and April 12, 1969.

Show-notes:

23:24: Check out our Blake’s 7 podcast, Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
28:57: Apparently it’s just a myth that the navy has more aircraft than the air force. At least according this Business Insider article from 2015 about debunking military myths.
33:30: Here’s Bob Saget’s take on the “The Aristocrats” joke.
1:17:15: Ben Steed’s first story on Blake’s 7 was Harvest of Kairos.
1:23:04: Pretty sure the movie I was thinking of here was The Box.

Redux 1: A Little Religious Strife Never Hurt Anyone (The Massacre)

This week the meme comes… Full Circle.

We have returned to the site of our greatest defeat to try once again. The serial where we have broken so far from common accepted fan criticism. And we stand here, upon the ruins of our empire, to say… We were right all along. It’s The Massacre… again. Written by John Lucarotti and Donald Tosh and aired between February 5th and 26th, 1966.

Show-notes:

0:55: I couldn’t find which one it was. If anyone knows, let us know. =
12:25: When I said “medieval times” here, I meant Medieval Times, the American dinner theater thingamajig. Still wonder why and how Medieval Times exists and is successful sometimes, but hey.
32:06: Yeaaaahhh, can’t find the comment from Peter Purves either. So don’t take my word for it.

300: We’re Gluttons for Punishment (Daleks – Invasion Earth 2150 AD)

This is episode 300. 300!

This week we continue to avoid starting Tochwood, and then even come up with more ways to avoid Torchwood for the next coming weeks! Can you believe that? Because honestly I can’t. I’m amazed we’ve been able to do that somehow. It only comes at the expense of revisiting all of our most derided episodes… It’s Daleks – Invasion Earth 2150 AD, directed by Gordon Flemying and released on August 5, 1966.

Show-notes:

2:24 David Whitaker was credited with “Additional Material.”
7:37 See for yourself: I.M. Foreman on the Tardis Wiki. He isn’t “technically” a time lord, but come on. He has regenerations and everything.
13:32 The future is now, old man.
17:18 I was wrong. The Dalek Invasion of Earth took place in 2164.
21:10 Check out Zenith, our Blake’s 7 podcast.
31:15 I’ll never not be amazed that this is how British money used to work.

299: Slowly Perishing Rubber 1965 Dalek Outfit ft. Brendan and Nathan (Dr. Who and the Daleks)

Somehow we found more content to cover.

This week we set the time scoop to “random” and are joined by surprise guests Brendan and Nathan of the fabulous Flight Through Entirety podcast (among other achievements). I think we always knew that somehow we’d cover this movie, somewhere, and so we figured why the hell not, lets do it now. Besides, it’s not like there’s anything else left for us to cover, I say, staring conspicuously at Torchwood sitting in the corner. It’s Dr. Who and the Daleks, directed by Gordon Flemying and released on August 23, 1965.

Show-notes:

18:50 Here’s Flight Through Entirety’s episode on The Doctor’s Daughter.
1:29:28 If you don’t know what Celestial Toyroom is (I didn’t), here’s what Celestial Toyroom is.
1:48:40 Brendan and Nathan’s other projects include: Flight Through Entirety (a Doctor Who podcast), Bondfinger (an MST3K-style James Bond podcast), and Brandy Bongos.

297: Jodie’s Hands ft. Keith (The Haunting of Villa Diodati)

Our first brand new guest in like…. ages!

I honestly thought that the name of the group of people in this episode was the Villa Diodati, not the name of the house. So it came as quite a shock when doing research for this episode and I realized it was the name of the place. It should have been obvious in hindsight with the double l but alas. It’s The Haunting of Villa Diodati. written by Maxine Alderton and Chris Chibnall and aired on February 16, 2020.

Show-notes:

13:38: Check out Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
20:00: They did get married eventually.
28:34: Ok so apparently what happened was that it was mistakenly attributed to Byron but it looks like Byron never pretended it was his.
34:09: Behold the glory of thirteenshands.

296: The Most British Thing Ever (Can You Hear Me?)

No for real, can you hear me?

I honestly thought going in that this was going to be an episode where nobody could hear anyone and a deaf character was going to be the hero. Like, straight up. This story went in a completely different direction to what I expected and I kind of appreciate and admire that. So good on you story for subverting the expectations you created in the title. It’s Can You Hear Me? written by Charlene James and Chris Chibnall and aired on February 9, 2020.

Show-notes:

2:10: Check out Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast and Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast
3:53: We’ll be joined by Keith and Steven in the coming weeks.
7:07: Yes, the crusades took place (partially) in what today is Syria.
10:43: Here’s the sequel to Rose if you somehow haven’t heard about it yet.
15:45: This is where the audio starts getting messed up and misaligned. This is a result of how we recorded this episode. We’ll (read: Dylan will) get better at this as time goes on.
16:51: The Monsters Inc. tea meme.
25:05: The official language of Syria is Arabic, but plenty of other languages are spoken there as well.
25:33: More on wendigos
40:10: And North American
50:41: The group in Love & Monsters was called LINDA (London Investigation ‘N’ Detective Agency)

295: Anticulture (Praxeus)

Today in Trust Your Doctor, our regular life.

This is truly the end of an era, this is the last TYD episode that will be recorded in the same room for… three months? Who knows how long we’ll be stuck in our homes. Did you know every episode up until this point was recorded in person? And now life is conspiring against us to shut down the podcast. God damn Praxeus… disease bacteria virus thing. It’s Praxeus written by Pete McTighe and Chris Chibnall and aired on February 2, 2020.

Show-notes:

20:23: This. This is what Birdemic is about.
