Hello and welcome to theTimeVault. The aim of this podcast is to review, chat and banter about some of our favourite subjects: Doctor Who, Hammer, Blake's 7 and The Avengers…

Some of you may know us from a previous life where we were two of the three presenters of Cadmium2. On that podcast we were watching Doctor Who in order, from the very beginning, as well as covering many other entries in the British Cult TV and Film world. Now, although Cadmium2 has ceased to be, we have decided (after many, many requests from listeners) to continue the Doctor Who part of that task and we're happy to carry on where we left off.

Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoy it.

    153 Commentary (Doctor Who - The Three Doctors)

    153 Commentary (Doctor Who - The Three Doctors)

    Is there a better way to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who than by ignoring it completely and talking over the 10th Anniversary of Doctor Who?

    Nope, didn't think so.

    R38 Doctor Who (The Ice Warriors)

    R38 Doctor Who (The Ice Warriors)

    It’s snow joke when the Doctor faces off against Hissing Sid.

    ICE. It’s white, it’s slippery, you can skate on it and make beautiful sculptures out of it. It’s cool. But what they don’t tell you is that it makes you paranoid and convinces you that you’re living in the time of Oliver Cromwell.

    Worst of all….aliens live in it! They live in it forever and ever and ever until you let them out. But you mustn’t let them out because the giant green monsters will kill you and then conquer the world! Beware!

    Beware the ice!

    Beware The Ice!

    BEWARE THE IIIIIIICE!

    (ahem)

    Just think carefully the next time you want a glass of lemonade.

    R37 Doctor Who (The Abominable Snowmen)

    R37 Doctor Who (The Abominable Snowmen)

    Some monks living on a hill are being terrorised by some giant furry things that may or may not be yeti. A mad explorer tries to get them to eat the Doctor (the yeti, not the monks) but they’re not interested because they’ve been trained by someone invisible who sounds like a pervert. The Doctor realises that the yeti’s one weakness is their balls.

    A sure fire way to incapacitate the male of any species; No wonder they feel abominable.

    R36 Doctor Who (The Tomb of the Cybermen)

    R36 Doctor Who (The Tomb of the Cybermen)

    The Doctor does his best Lara Croft impersonation when some maths teachers try to take over what looks like an intergalactic ice cream factory.

    But it all comes down to the wires when the factory boss has a quarrel with the Hulk’s thinner, less chatty cousin and is ultimately defeated by a closed door (this happens a lot so clearly they’re more used to open-plan architecture).

    The guy in charge of the budget must have been so relieved when he saw designs for this story’s spaceship. And who decided to name one of the villains after an item of clothing? Still, could’ve been worse, she could have been called Duffle Coat……or Thong.

    Lucky escape.

    152 The Prisoner (A-B-C - Free For All)

    152 The Prisoner (A-B-C - Free For All)

    The village is the worst place in the world.

    It has the worst fair election campaign, the worst party guest, the worst personal assistant, the worst inspiring speeches, the worst town council meeting, the worst internal security system, the worst attempt to pretend you’re not surreptitiously keeping an eye on someone when you quite clearly are, the worst secret drinking establishment and the worst person to have a drink in the worst secret drinking establishment.

    Doesn’t matter if it’s water, tea or genuine fake alcohol, one drop of anything and this top level spy keels over; it’s a good thing he doesn’t try the milk

    And don’t get me started on the numbering system.

    R35 Doctor Who (The Evil of the Daleks)

    R35 Doctor Who (The Evil of the Daleks)

    Somebody’s half-inched the TARDIS!!

    A tramp makes a train set out of pepperpots, the daleks are experimenting with a new diet plan for Human beings and a man in a skirt is in for a spot of male bonding with a giant Turk. All this and there’s also a big nobbly thing with a megaphone and the most fearsome beard in history doing something dastardly with mirrors. And yet despite it all, the Doctor and Jamie go for a date at a café and pose for photographs. Like they’re not even bothered.

    And who the Hell is Left-Handed Kenneth?

Vintage, cult classic British - Doctor Who, Blakes 7, Red Dwarf

Do you remember growing up with those old Doctor Who monsters on your local PBS station? If you like classic British sci-fi shows, especially classic Doctor Who (and a bit of the new), Blakes 7, Red Dwarf, and even things like Starcops and Hammer classic, you should give this podcast a listen. And check out their blog.

Must listen

I am a big fan of British genre TV & movies, and the Greaves brothers do a phenomenal job of not only summarizing them and analyzing them, they have the kind of chemistry only two loving brothers have, and that makes the shows all the more entertaining. And this is probably the most re-listenable of all the podcasts I follow: every time I catch an old episode of DOCTOR WHO I will go back and find the show they did on it and gladly listen again.

Adds a new dimension to subject matter

After listening to some of the discussions that Paul and Mike have had, I've gotten a new appreciation for many of topics and even started to see a glimmer of something better than what I thought was there before. (and vice-versa) They bring up and out some interesting points that I had not heard discussed anywhere else.
I've really enjoyed the back episodes and when a new one comes out it immediately goes to the top of the playlist.
Thanks to the show I've discovered some brilliant movies and television shows, that I may not have otherwise. Really appreciate all the effort they put in to each episode, providing backstories, context, and personal connections.
