Doctor WHOdcast Doctor WHOdcast

Merry Christmas to all the Doctor WHOdcasters in the universe. Will Charlie and special guest Emma Phelan return to record the first and in our opinions most festive Christmas Special, "The Christmas Invasion"

We discuss Roses' season 1 to season 2 hair, the David Tennant references in the TARDIS wardrobe, How the sycorax look better with the helmet on and how on earth does there whip work, and compare stories of our family traditions when watching the Christmas special

Netflix Synopsis: Rose struggles to overcome her mistrust of the newly regenerated Doctor to help her defeat a malevolent alien that threatens all life on Earth.

On the eve before our Christmas Invasion special, Charlie and Will rewind back through Season 1 of the Doctor WHOdcast with a little help from our friends and co-hosts Alex Wilcox, Chavonne Brown, Faye Lawlor and Tom Thornhill. Yes that's right, it's a  good old fashioned REUNION EPISODE!

Join us as we talk about the romance of season 1 compared to the honeymoon period of season 2, the Doctor Who Movie being the Room of the whoniverse, Christopher Ecclestone lightness and joy and Henry Van Staten as an Uber driver.

We go off topic a lot as well, and discuss the filming location of Power Rangers, Colin Baker being great on Twitter, what pizza each doctor would eat, Lockdown eating and even create a ringtone for one of our guests.

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.

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.

NB: This Episode was recorded in person before London's Tier 2 Lockdown. 

We are back and with returning special guest Faye Lawlor to review the dark buddy comedy that is Boom Town. We talk about the best fart joke of 2005, the best multi-person TARDIS crew, the oddly pipe-cleaner esque egg and the alternate planned version of Episode 11 that made all our jaws drop.

Netflix Synopsis: While in present-day Cardiff to recharge the TARDIS, the Doctor encounters an enemy he thought was dead.

Join Charlie, Will and returning special guest Chavonne Brown as they review the second part of Moffat's gothic horror/queer romp - The Doctor Dances. 
We discuss Charlies hatred of the squareness gun, Gay Uncle Vernon, the plot spoiling next time for Boom Town, the beginning of Moffatisms and Jenna Coleman as a Captain Marvel plot device. 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.
