Time Ram, a Doctor Who podcast which randomly selects a mismatched Doctor and story from 59 years of the show and attempts to ram them together.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but if you've ever wondered how 'Mummy on the Orient Express' would have looked in the Colin Baker era, or how 'The Caves of Androzani' would work starring Peter Capaldi, then Time Ram is the podcast for you.
The regular hosts are Rupert Booth, Paul Ferry and Barry Williams.

Time Ram 031: The Jewell Inside
D'NER D'NER D'NER D'NER BATMAN!! In this episode, the first Doctor, William Hartnell, stars in the Peter Capaldi episode 'The Return of Doctor Mysterio' in proper sixties fashion! Although he probably doesn't meet Adam West. Or maybe he does? For this is Time Ram, and anything is possible. Literally anything. Hence we learn about the Doctor's special ring, join the campaign for Justice for Dodo and witness some brain-on-brain action. And also... is that a 10-foot tall Donald Pleasence?

Time Ram 030: Pyramids of Martha
This week, it's the turn of the Tom Baker classic, 'Pyramids of Mars'! Join us as we take the roof off, upgrade the paint work and sell it back to you as a racy little episode starring David Tennant! In the process, we may (or may not) learn what was Rupe's first memory of Doctor Who, what it is that Baz can believe, and where Paul's old family friend lived. How did Laurence and Marcus fall out? Who employs their own poacher? And what was Sutekh using his spare hand for? Keep your fast return switch properly maintained as we do the Time Ram again!

Time Ram 029: Excellence in Silver
Let us take you back to 1985, and the opening of Doctor Who season 22 - Colin Baker's first full season in the role. And what better way to open than with that full-on Cyberman continuity-fest 'Nightmare in Silver'? (Otherwise known as "Neil Gaiman's Other One") Finally, the Time Ram team can focus on Peri's other career as a nanny, dressing for Time Bandits and being mistaken for Byker Grove. It's the episode where Rupe keeps on going until someone stops him, Baz obsesses over 'The Twin Dilemma' and Paul can no longer distinguish past from future!

Time Ram 28: Terry and Judoon
In this episode, Time Ram takes Jodie Whittaker's 'Fugitive of the Judoon' and rams it into the Christopher Eccleston era... because we can, that's why! In the process, we investigate who is the most alien Doctor, which showrunner is pro-old ladies and what Bradley Walsh does in his spare time with Aridians. We also take some passive aggressive cakes and stick them down the Falcon Hole with Han Solo... because we can, that's why! We finish by avoiding oncoming narrative to do the watusi. Because... you get the idea. I know, I know, it's really serious.

Time Ram 027: The Naughty Cactus Wants a Shape
Join us for an exciting journey with the 13th Doctor, "nicest person on the planet" Jodie Whittaker as she takes on a naughty cactus in 'Meglos'! Whether you're a Deon, a Savant or simply Meglostic, you can still enjoy Miriam Margolyes, Jimmy Nail, jungle hierarchies, learning to unfold the Unfolding Text, and establishing whether time loops are chronic or not! Has Chris listened to the voices this time? Who really hates vegetables? And how do you perform basic maintenance on a dodecahedron? The clues are all there, as we feature Helen Mirren's best guest role so far!
-
Time Ram 026: The Girls in the Fireplace
Finally, Jodie Whittaker's Doctor gets access to a fireplace and a chance to snog Mme de Pompadour! It's a chance to investigate the only woman she's ever loved (or not), the Three Universe theory of Doctor Who, Tom Baker's bad habits and the meaning of "cryptosexual". Who writes the most captions? Who would Rupert love to see as the Doctor? Is the Post Office the only thing holding the universe in check? It's Timey Wimey Oily Winey!

Very funny and creative
If you love Doctor Who half as much as these guys do, you’ll love this podcast—and probably end up playing the game yourself (Colin Baker in Heaven Sent, anyone?).
