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

It's the first meeting with one my favourite podcasters and now my good friend, the magnificent Dylan Rees. And we have six episodes of Daleks, romance, dystopian nightmares and hope to talk about.

There is a new Patreons Only Film Club in town and after watching the film together we will be discussing the movie. This week - Deep Blue Sea! How thin is the line between stupid and genius? Let's ask Lucy, Jeff, Simon & Luke.

Be warned! We face corrupt Wi-fi, evil Sun Gods, Ice Warriors, monsters in love, corrupt junkers, mad Dame Diana, Cybermen and a cadaverous Richard E Grant! Join Rod, Joe, Mark & Cam as we decide what our favourite story is of this contentious half season.

'My name is Jooooohhhnnnnn!' Joe, Dylan & Mark; heading to the woods for a spooky short. Has John Levene aged into the role? Is this how you make a cheap, effective spin off? What are our other favourites?

Who else but the masterful, anecdote driven and fact happy Toby Hadoke could captivate you for almost five hours about this superb story. I hope you're as captivated as I was.

Join Joe, Luke & Andrew along with Mark Rawlins from Finish Big to discuss the latest Audio Adaptation from Big Finish. How does it compare to the book?

Join Rod, Joe, Lee & Lucy as we dance our way through Mandragora, Kastrians, disgraced former supervillains, psychologically unstable computers, deadly robots and giant rats! Who will conquer in this hugely popular season?

With the whole body of Doctor Who literature to choose from - what will Luke's top and bottom ten stories be? Shocks and surprises in store!

Joe & Frazer; 'It's not me you're running away from, is it?' We reach the conclusion of this amazing story, and Frazer has one last to chance to convince everybody why this is the greatest Doctor Who of all time. I think he succeeds.

Joe & Frazer; 'I can do you an Ace Sigma on the miracle survival act...' Things are rolling, the Doctor is making political moves, Helen A is getting desperate and the Kandy Man is having a whale of a time...

Joe & Frazer; 'I want to make them very very unhappy!' It's time to talk about Frazer's favourite Doctor Who story of all time? Will Frazer's persuasive, intelligent argument win Joe around?

Join Joe, Rod, Geoff & Ian for madness, laughter and chaos as we dance around Jodie Whittaker's first season facing Space Racists, the Pting, the Morax and Space Amazon!

Enter the unexpected and fantastic world of Andrew Batty, a prolific Hamster book clubber and all round wonderful chap, and discover his top and bottom ten Doctor Who books...

Join Joe & Ken as we take a waltz through every scintilla of Dalek continuity and even do some retconning along the way! It's time to face the War of the Daleks!

Join Joe & Jon as we explore the moist and distinctly perky world of Doctor Who erotica. This episode contains much talk of a sexual nature. If you press play, it's on you!

Join Joe, Andrew and Luke as we head back to the 1960s where it all began to read a short but powerful novella about how the Doctor touched the lives of one family, and a little boy called Gerry...

Join Rod, Joe, Nathan & Rob as they head to Castrovalva, Doomsday, Deva Loka, the Manor, another Manor, the Freighter and prehistoric Earth! Which story will reign supreme?

Joe & Si; 'You know, don't you?' The most pantomimic episode of Doctor Who ever? Is that a problem...or just deliriously funny? Joe & Si don't have one spark of decency in them when discussing this classic.

Joe, Frazer & Si; 'My name is Ruby' This is the cumulation of the new RTD season with one of the boldest, most suspenseful arcs Doctor Who has ever seen. Will anyone walk away satisfied?

Joe & Si; 'Insolence will cost your people dearly Bayeus!’ Si and I were joined by other members of the Ham Fam for a live recording of the Time and the Rani. Expect laughter, lewdness and campery!

Joe & Mark; ‘Gotta Dance!’ The fun continues with a SF historical romp featuring the worst production values but the best script, with the Babs Doctor & Carl at their height!

Joe & Mark; ‘Come along Carl!’ A side step into fan films and the incredible Barbara Benedetti as the Doctor. Love and care and passion means these films can be praised, not mocked.

Joe & Michael meet in person, sit down in St James Park and detail in no order our top and bottom ten Doctor Who books. We’re holding a phone to record, sound quality is variable!

Joe, Si & Frazer; 'That power will set me up above the Gods!' The trio come together to tackle one of the biggies and take our time to discuss everything and rain praise upon its plaudits. Enjoy.

Join Joe, Andrew and Luke as we head to the world of Sebastiane to figure out why two of us were so unengaged by this book, and why on Earth one of us found it a passable read. Allonsy!
