The Parting of the Ways (w/ Tom Thornhill)
It’s the end. But the moment has been prepared for.” Charlie, Will and returning guest Tom go straight in and dive… into the US election result that was announced the day before recording. And then we talk about one of the best final episodes of a Doctor Who season there has ever been. Join us as we compare Joe Biden to Wilfred Mott, explore the differences between the finales of Classic Who and Modern Who, talk about that landmark kiss (and no I do not mean the Doctor and Bad Wolf) and scrutinise the episode as a text (thank you Roland Barthes/HP and the Sacred Text). Netflix Synopsis: With the Daleks’ numbers rejuvenated, the Time War rages, and the Doctor will have to make difficult choices and sacrifices to save lives.

Bad Wolf (w/ Tom Thornhill)
After 5 long months Will and Charlie have finally reached the season 1 two-part finale! Will, Charlie and special guest Tom Thornhill (or as he is now known DJ TJ Thornhill) dive deep in our longest and episode to-date, delving into the major and the minutia. We examine the significance of the three main television companies banding together for Doctor Who, revel in how Strewd is a fabulous reference to successful queer big brother contestants, reminisce about Doctor Who Top Trumps, and fury over both the blatant lack of John Barrowman's opening credit and the cencorship of that wonderfully peachy a**. Netflix Synopsis: The Doctor, Rose and Jack are unwillingly transported into a popular -- but deadly -- reality game show. Theme tune based on the Doctor Who Theme by Murray Gold. Written by Will Paxton, produced by Tom Ling, sung by Fanta Barrie. NB: This Episode was recorded in person before London's Tier 2 Lockdown.

Written by Will Paxton, produced by Tom Ling, sung by Fanta Barrie.

We also ask important questions like in the previous nine episodes, is the Doctor always carrying a banana? Why does the Doctor never save Ramadan, Eid or Kwanzaa and is Captain Jack Harkness more Han Solo or Lando Calrissian. WARNING: This episode has some explicit sexual imagery and is not for the faint hearted (or bladdered). Netflix Synopsis: A growing army of gas-maskes zombies threatens to spred the Child's plague unless the Doctor, Rose and charming con man Captain Jack can stop them.

Theme tune inspired by the Doctor Who Theme by Murray Gold. Written by Will Paxton, produced by Tom Ling, sung by Fanta Barrie

We are now halfway through Season 1 and so we thought we would give our whodcasters a little treat by recapping the wonderfully bizarre Doctor Who TV Movie.

Dalek (w/ Alex Wilcox)
With the announcement that Christopher Ecclestone will be returning to the whoniverse with Big Finish, what better time to recap the episode that made us trully marvel at his take on the Doctor, Dalek.
