This week, we're discussing series 5 episode 8, "The Hungry Earth"! One of us watched the episode a few weeks ago, and the other was distracted making a sandwich. Anyway, we're fairly sure that we know what happens in this episode. The Doctor declares war on everyone's wives and throws them all into a hole in the ground. Meanwhile, the Silurians debut their new sexual faces! Sam | Jordan Cohost | Tumblr | Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
We'd been feeling a little lost in Flux, but thankfully this week we're watching series 13 episode 1, "The Halloween Apocalypse"! This is where it all began, so we'll finally have all the context we've been missing. Just who are Swarm and Azure Ravagers? Does a mysterious Hat Man live on Mars, or in Liverpool? How many Sontarans does it take to control a sector? Is Bel the Doctor's mom or whatever? Thankfully, at least one of these questions is finally answered. For the others, we'll get them next time I'm sure! Sam | Jordan Cohost | Tumblr | Twitter…
At long last, we're getting an answer to a question that goes all the way back to our second episode: "who is the eyepatch lady?" As it turns out, she's a woman with an eyepatch-looking thing! This is basically the only thing we learned from series 6 episode 7, "A Good Man Goes to War"! Other than that, it's mostly a lot of words spoken by the man who speaks the words of the writer who writes... for they say that when the speaking man speaks the words written by the writer who writes, the speaker becomes the speakest.

Join us once again in the land of headcrabs and Santa as we discuss series 9 episode 1, "The Magician's Apprentice"! It's one of Steven's famous Words Episodes, and the Doctor is barely in it. It's mainly about Clara going on a field trip with Missy and what would that be like? They still haven't confirmed that this is a headcrab dream but it definitely is. You're not tricking us, Steven!

We're back with the most gruesome, spine-chilling ghost episode of all time, series 12 episode 8, "The Haunting of Villa Diodati"! In multiple ways, this is an episode about spreading misinformation about the writing of Frankenstein. Who did it better, Maxine Alderton or Jordan? Please don't @ us. Forget about these writers though, the real star of the show this week is our imaginary version of Graham! What an absolute belter!

Merry Christmas! This episode comes with a festive content warning for fatphobia and suicide, for some reason. It's the 2007 Christmas special, "Voyage of the Damned"! Sorry to spoil our opinions before you've even listened, but this is another bad episode for the bad episode books. The Doctor is on the Space Titanic, and... look, it's bad enough that I had to watch it, and talk about it, and listen to it again while I edited this. Now you want me to describe it again here? I'm fed up!! Here's the episode! Sam | Jordan Cohost | Tumblr | Twitter…
Somehow, the Master has returned. How did he fall out of the Harmony Hole? Maybe that question will be answered in series 3 episode 11, "Utopia"! Jack (Harkness) is back (barkness) and we're taking him on a trip to the most distant future except the other most distant futures we've already been to. It's a world of sharp teeth, rocks, and night time. Martha is here too. Will the Doctor finally forgive Jack for something or whatever? Chan will Chantho confess her love to Professor Yana tho? And the question we've all been asking since today: what does Professor Yana's…
We're going back to the very early days to go back to the very late days, in series 1 episode 2, "The End of the World"! It's the episode where the Doctor thinks Rose would like to watch her planet be destroyed, because he liked it so much when it happened to him (which it didn't, but they didn't know that yet.) It's also the episode with Cassandra the Skin Lady, and the Face of Boe, and the Dark Memelords. Look at all these weird aliens! What a great show sometimes. Sam | Jordan Cohost | Tumblr | Twitter |…
We wished for a good episode last week, and a blue guy gave us season 2 episode 20, "What Is and What Should Never Be"! Depending on who you ask, our wish may or may not have been granted! This is one of those "what if you were in an alternate reality where everything seemed good but there was a twist" stories... with a twist! We recommend enjoying this episode in your local ruins.

At long last, 57 episodes in, we have finally got ourselves a Donna episode! It's series 4 episode 3, "Planet of the Ood"! As is so often the case on this podcast, we're meeting our new companion one episode 3, so the introductions are out of the way and her role in this one is fairly small. Oh well! Anyway, this is an episode about the King of Slavery. Will he see the error of his ways? Or will he eat spaghetti and drink hair juice until his hair falls off and his spaghetti falls out?
