    Binro Was Right Extra - Very Good

    Another extra special epipod. Who are the good guys? Probably not me and chevron. An investigation into the rules ethics of doctor who. Diskgrinder's number one son tells it like it is. Yes he, killed the half face man. Chevron drops a morality bomb: is psychological torture far worse than physical torture? And it becomes clear my son is the black grauniad. Good and evil in doctor who Dresden Codak's Dark Science Feedburner iTunes Facebook @binrowasright @diskgrinder    @BetsyChevron

    Episode 7 - Story yelling

    In this Doctor Who light episode Diskgrinder plays Mark Lawson and Chevron almost bluffs her way through the most shambolic and borderline unbroadcastable episode of Front Row in history. Story Yelling  Again we name check the No Complications blog which features literary criticism, classical scholarship and fun and games. Shapes. Chevron is talking bollocks. Just Google it. Dissonance, it seems apt. Drama in acts, you might not agree, but it's worth looking at Freytag's Pyramid. MORE SHAPES! It's called acting. Dr Joann Fletcher's Life and Death in the Valley of the Kings is well worth a watch if you're that way inclined., When it comes to ancient Greek comedy, the old'uns are always the best. What little we have of the 'new' ones are... completely subjectively... shite. Dyskolos (also known as Miserable Old Bastard) was performed c.316 BCE (310 BCE was a good guess) and penned by Miranda Hart Menander. It isn't big, clever or funny. And she's off. Aristophanes' Wasps is magnificent. That's indisputable. It's not a question of taste. It's bloody brilliant. Cocks, cocks, cocks. Unsurprisingly, what we do shabbily in one hour is summed up beautifully by Sesame Street in three minutes. And they got there first... by roughly forty years. From the corrections department: It's all bollocks. All of it. Back to Doctor Who next time. Promise. Dyskolosgrinder & B.

    Episode 6 - Terra Firma

    In this episode we discuss the Doctor's mainly on, sometimes off relationship with Gaia. It's like a planetary soap opera, or a seasonal romantic comedy, or a producer's consideration of budgetary issues. Any randy Hastily captioned screenshots to illustrate headcanon. Cambridge Latin Course, the national curriculum's dead language handbook. Chevron was using 'Libertarianism' in the most basic sense of personal freedom and autonomy, diskgrinder was working on the modern interpretations and appropriations of the term that are associated with anarchy, capitalism and selfishness. Unfortunately this was only cleared up once we were off mic. Carry on, nothing to see here. Atlas Shrugged, a 1957 novel by diskgrinder's pin-up, Ayn Rand. Hurrumble for Bleak Expectations! From the corrections department Genocide is not a verb, it's a noun. A nasty noun. diskgrinder & B. Chevron Feedburner iTunes Facebook @binrowasright @diskgrinder    @BetsyChevron

    Binro Was Right Extra - Daleks vs. Cybermen

    A super special bonus episode with the real brains behind the operation. Chevron and diskgrinder try to keep up whilst diskgrinder's three sons discuss the Doctor's most iconic adversaries... and fascist regimes... and religion. Meanwhile, Chevron goes klepto. Cybermen vs. daleks Diskgrnder belatedly understands he should shut up.

    Episode 5 - Death is not the End

    Death is not the end In this episode Chevron is accused of failing to let go of the teenage goth that lurks in the depths of her dark and twisted soul... 'NOBODY UNDERSTANDS ME!' and we remember the fallen comrades of the Doctor with great reverence. Yes, we know what la petite mort means. Get your minds out of the gutter. We miss you Nicholas Courtney, especially as this epipod was recorded pre-CyberBrig. Buy Home Truths from Big Finish. Just a Minute is a long running Radio 4 panel show in which contestants are challenged to speak on a subject for a sixty seconds without hesitation, deviation or repetition. From the corrections department: Steve Coogan's swimming pool supervisor character is from The Day Today. And what we can take from this is that nobody should ever question Chevron ever at all ever. William Hartnell's 'I am not a dog' fluff is actually in The Thing of the Thing, also known as The Daleks' Master Plan. Jean Marsh appeared thrice, yes thrice, in The Crusade, The Daleks' Master Plan and Battlefield. Mike Yates, as we all know, keeps cropping up until Planet of the Spiders. diskgrinder & B.

    Feature Length Series Eight Recap - Peaks & Troughs

    In this feature length episode we try to discuss series eight. Success is measured on a sliding scale. Peaks and Troughs Roman à clef, different type of key. Graham Duff, i'n't he scrummy? Uncanny Valley. If chins could kill... Holbein's The Ambassadors Perfume - One Room Disco (Chevron likes the one in the shorts) After recording we re-watched In the Forest of the Night together and diskgrinder decided he liked it after all. The Young Poisoner's Handbook Apologies to Drs A & B for paraphrasing. You've seen more of Rachel Talalay's work than you think you have. Green Cross Code. diskgrinder & B.
