A Hamster With a Blunt Penknife - a Doctor Who Commentary podcast Joe Ford
-
- TV & Film
Join Joe Ford as he waltzes all around the world (via whatever means the internet allows) and undertakes Doctor Who commentaries with a wide range of wonderful contributors. Fans, podcasters, online reviewers, writers, actors...the USP of this podcast is it's variety of guests and the fact that they all bring their own unique perspective to the podcast. The guest chooses the story, be it one they love, hate or are completely indifferent, and amongst the gossip is trivia, critique and personal experience.

Talks to Dylan Rees about his choice of The Tenth Planet (3/4)
Joe & Dylan; 'Come on man, admit it. I am. I'm scared for that son of mine' Hartnell is off for a week and it's down to Anneke and Craze to carry the episode, and guest actor Robert Beatty to come to the fore.

Talks to Si Hart & Frazer Gregory about their choice of The Legend of Ruby Sunday
Joe, Si & Frazer; 'I bring Sutekh's gift of death to all humanity...' A condensed season - good or bad? Who is Mrs Flood? Who is Ruby's mother? Why is Mel so awesome? Huge discussion, massive laughs and what an ending!

Talks to Dylan Rees about his choice of The Tenth Planet (2/4)
Joe & Dylan; 'Trigger pack!' (finally I know what he says). We discuss all things original Cybermen, how to get yourself a recon and what to do when your main man needs a lie down in his last story.

Talks to Dylan Rees (and the ham fam) about his choice of The Tenth Planet (1/4)
Joe & Dylan; 'Mama Mia!' The birth of the Cybermen and the beginning of the end for William Hartnell. Our live recording was full of laughter and comments, and we had a wonderful time with these ghastly, cadaverous Cybermen.
-
Talks to Rod Brown about his choice of The Pirate Planet (4/4)
Joe & Rod; 'A bit crude...but immensely satisfying' It's the rousing conclusion to the story and evil Queens are revealed (ahem), nurses are toppled, Captains are murdered and Bridges are blown up! Stupendous!

Hamster Book Club - Vampire Science (featuring Michael Mills)
Join Joe & Michael as they go right back to the beginning to see just how Sam Jones was shaped, the eighth Doctor was formed and a morally complex, character driven Vampire tale was written.
