Exterminating Doctor Who

The return of prophesising the future, laughing at our own jokes, Timeless Child ramblings, and two Whovians finding the positives in all things Doctor Who can mean only one thing... The Exterminating Doctor Who podcast makes a triumphant return as we take a deep dive into the 60th anniversary specials starring David Tennant and Catherine Tate. We review The Star Beast, Wild Blue Yonder, and The G...

As the podcast draws to a close, we save the big one 'til last and finally discuss Aidan's favourite ever episode: The Day of the Doctor. Is this episode as good as we all remember? What works? What could have been better? We discuss everything from the Time War to the Zygons, the War Doctor to Clara, and the Moment to the 10th Doctor's hair. Join us one last time for our final ever ep...

The podcast finally returns for its penultimate episode as we discuss George's favourite Christmas special... The Waters of Mars... which isn't actually a Christmas special. How does this episode subvert the base under siege format whilst simultaneously creating one of Doctor Who's scariest monsters and redefining fixed points in time? Find out as we question whether this episode is tr...

We head to Mondas for a shiny new episode to talk how World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls has rapidly become one of our favourite ever episodes!

We return to our regularly scheduled programming to bring a review of The God Complex! How does this episode balance a tone between funny and scary to create one of the 11th Doctor's best episodes? We ponder this question as well as talking Tivoli, Rita, Minotaurs, and more! INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/edw_podcast/ TWITTER - https://twitter.com/aidangulamedia

In our third and final (for now) emergency podcast, we react to Heartstopper star Yasmin Finney's casting in Doctor Who as Rose and who this mysterious character could be.

Whittaker's best performance, one of the best ever uses of the Cybermen, a creepy atmosphere, great direction, good companion moments (except Ryan)... but is it the 13th Doctor's best?

Returning to single parters, this week we discuss Neil Gaiman's amazing The Doctor's Wife.

The Eleventh Doctor at his prime, Moffat's best monsters, amazing companion moments, a memorable and intriguing plot... the best series opener or too confusing? INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/edw_podcast/ TWITTER - https://twitter.com/aidangulamedia

We make the case for this Series 9 two-parter as one of the 12th Doctor's best episodes! What are the highlights, how does it display perfect character arcs, and what are the negatives - if any? We also take time to discuss whether Missy is the best ever incarnation of the Master. INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/edw_podcast/ TWITTER - https://twitter.com/aidangulamedia

Our 2 week break became 2 months, but Exterminating Doctor Who returns with a brand new episode to discuss whether 'Rosa' truly is the 13th Doctor's best episode as so many claim. Is this episode as good as everyone says or does it actually have some major problems? We also take a look at some of the current rumours surrounding the 60th anniversary and Series 14 beyond!

Part 2 of our Flux reviews, we give our thoughts on the rest of series 13 and how Flux paid off everything set up in The Halloween Apocalypse. Was the concept worth it? Were the monsters done justice? Was this a better TARDIS team? We answer these questions and more as well as giving our ratings for each episode and the series as a whole.

To celebrate not just Doctor Who's 58th anniversary but our own 1st anniversary since the start of the podcast, we delve into what makes An Adventure in Space and Time so amazing. How does the 2013 TV movie treat the legacies of William Hartnell, Sydney Newman, Verity Lambert, Waris Hussein and everyone else involved? And how much did it make us cry?

We return to the Ninth Doctor for the first time in 9 months to analyse what makes Dalek such a good episode, from the perfect return of the classic foe in the new series to the perfect characterisation of the Doctor.

Following on from last week's episode about Blink, we ponder whether this two-parter is a worthy sequel for the Weeping Angels. Are they still scary? Does River Song fit in? Should the crack have been here? We talk everything from Aidan's favourite 11th Doctor moment, to Steven Moffat's one Doctor Who regret...

Part 1 of our Flux reviews, we give our thoughts on Doctor Who's latest episode, The Halloween Apocalypse. We both have mixed feelings on this episode, ranging from love for the Doctor and Yaz, to uncertainty over the sheer amount of plots introduced. No stone is left unturned as we discuss the Flux itself, the Karvanista, Swarm, Dan, Sontarans, Weeping Angels, and more!

Heralded as the best episode to introduce new viewers to Doctor Who, we take a look at whether this claim is valid. We also move into hot take territory as we question if Blink truly is as good as everyone says it is... INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/edw_podcast/ TWITTER - https://twitter.com/aidangulamedia
