A Hamster With a Blunt Penknife - a Doctor Who Commentary podcast

Doctor Who is interrogated, huge ideas blossom and burst, Sarah re-imagined, Sam on form, Fitz is lost and the Doctor has his dignity shafted twice over. Plus we discuss playing with continuity and our top three arc books.

Joe, Frazer & Si; 'Nothing can be eternal...' New titles, new format, new Doctor & Peri, peppy dialogue, a lighter touch and a host of great actors. The Dynamic Trio are delighted with the redecoration!

Join Rod, Joe, David & Dan as we face blobby foetuses, antimatter creatures, android duplicates, Gods from the Dawn of Time, Mr Butchers Leftovers & Homicidal Horticulture! Who will be victorious...

Two lovers, one huge liker and one what the hell is this book...a diversity of opinions on this eccentric, imaginative and flowery novel! Also, we rank our bottom three Doctor Who book companions.

Not only the gorgeous story of how Dan came to read Doctor Who books but a triumphant and surprising top and bottom ten list, and he ranks the ranges too.

Joe, Jack & Steven; 'And where, for heaven's sake, is Sergeant Benton!' 'The baby! We forgot the baby!' It's the culmination of six episodes of japes, time travel, anachronisms, monsters, Gods, villains and Shakespeare! How will it all come together?

Joe, Steven & Jack: 'Your pardon. I took you for another. I knew Galleia once, you see. The woman, not the queen.' We're in Open University Shakespeare territory! Ingrid Pitt! George Cormack! Aidan Murphy! Time to proclaim!

Join Joe, Jason, James & Ian as we read and critique the very first New Adventure - and it's a Target novel! Brilliant character insight, dynamic Dalek POVs and continuity heaven. Also, our favourite types of Target novels.

Joe, Steven & Jack; 'English! But backwards!' Is this the most pointless 25 minutes of Doctor Who ever or a chance for three of the best regulars to strut their stuff?

Joe, Jack & Steven; 'KRONOS!' How many episodes can this story spend running on the spot but still entertaining us to an absurd degree? Is this Sergeant Benton's finest hour?

Asked to rank his top and bottom ten Doctor Who books, Si Hart faces his greatest challenge yet on Hamster. How many times will his choices shock me?

Join Rod, Joe, Tim & Frazer as we enter a turbulent period of the shows early history but a fruitful creative patch. We face Rills, Daleks, Greeks, more Daleks, Catholics and Monoids on our quest to crown this half season.

Joe. Steven & Jack; 'Fur and all!' Time for episode one! Or is it episode minus one? What's that? It's masquerading as episode two? But what about when episode five is episode one? Oh Kronos!

Joe, Jack & Steven; 'Come, Kronos! Come!' What madness is this when two of the smartest men in podcasting come together to extol the virtues of this bit of old wank? Join in the fun!

Join us we take you on a tour of creepy time travel experiments, life stealing clock faced men and a chance to turn back time. Also we answer the question how far is too far and we rank our top three timey wimey books!

Time loops! Romance! Daleks! Fireworks! Death, death and more death! It's New Years Eve and we're in computer game territory as we have the best time dodging death and looking for love.

The gorgeous Steven B takes us on the whirlwind tour of the highs and lows of Doctor Who books, with an additional top ten Target list too! A thoughtful, funny and surprising list.

Join us as we battle Judoon, Macra, Lazarus, the Family of Blood, the Weeping Angels, the Master and a host of controversial opinions as Rod, Joe, Paul & Dylan put series three under the microscope.

Joe & Michael enter the Dalek Dome and face the deadly human race at their exploitative, torturous worst! The newly regenerated Doctor comes under the microscope, plus Michael ranks his top three Doctor Who strips.

Tying in with the latest season of Doctor Who, what does the BBC have to offer for its young adult market? Join me, Andrew, Jon & Luke to find out. Also we rank our top three book companions.

It's time for another omnibus edition of Hamster and this time with an absolute classic. Mark and I extol its many virtues and explain why this probably shouldn't have been attempted ever again.

Erudite, funny and charming book clubber Jon Arnold assembles his favourite and least favourite Doctor Who books. He also tackles his ranking of the ranges.

Repositioned planets, perishing Peris, petrifying plants and power man conspirators! What will Rod, Joe, Matt & Daniel make of Trial of a Time Lord? And who will win the ultimate sixth Doctor story?

It had to happen. We had to reach a book we really disliked. But Michael & I explain what didn't work for us here and how the premise of the Lethbridge-Stewart series does have legs. Also, Michael ranks the ranges in order.

The book club reaches the end of the first Doctor's life with a mash up of Aliens and Agatha Christie, choose your own adventure and magazine! What will we make of this murder mystery adventure?
