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

Joe, Luke & Dyan; ‘you…killed Peri…’ This is the big one. It’s either a complete betrayal of Doctor Who or the most exciting, horrific and edgy bit of storytelling the show has ever delivered. Or both. Let’s talk about Peri’s death.

Joe, Luke & Dylan; ‘lalalalalalalalala…’ (Mentor laugh) - It’s time to get very serious as the darkness weaves around Peri, the rebels are murdered and the Doctor is irredeemably condemned…

Joe, Dylan & Luke; off to the Sea of Sorrows… Is the Doctor mad? Influenced? A turncoat? What could possibly prompt this violent insanity?

Joe, Luke & Dylan; ‘would you prepare to apply the skidaddle test?’ Huge love for season 23, the Trial and this story as the boys pull apart the many rights and the dramatic wrongs of this story.

Lads on Tour! I joined those gorgeous podcasters Mark Raw XXX, Dylan Rees & Luke Molloy for a tour of the locations of The Daemons, Planet of the Spiders & The Android Invasion. Best pub? Best meal? Best haunting? Best location?

Join Joe, Rod, Dylan & David as we skip (in some cases warily) into the 13th Doctor's second season. Will Rod defend anything Chibnall? Will Dylan criticise anything Chibnall? And where does David's heart lie with this season?

Joe & David; and another mad computer of Death? More wandering around the fake caves, more searching for a plot or original ideas, more lack of wit and wonder? Does this story deserve it's dreadful reputation?

Joe & David; descending down the shaft together gracefully. Is it possible that there are no talking points whatsoever in this particular episode of Doctor Who? Let’s find out…

Joe & David; how many times will we see that security camera shot? A discussion on humour in Doctor Who, how trains and Underworld face familiar nightmares, and should a heroic failure be commended?

Joe & David; 'Made in Minyos' Is this the worst Doctor Who story of repute? Can we delve into the troubled production and find a story worth telling? Is the first episode a genuinely good scene setter?

Joe & Luke; remembering the fatleks! Picking apart series seven from two angles, and this episode is dissected by a lover and a hater. Let the laughter commence.

Joe, James, Jason & Ian have a feisty discussion about trains, semen, companion could have beens, a drunk Doctor and some substantial worldbuilding. Can a consensus be reached on the most controversial of Doctor Who novels?

Lance talks about how different it was working with BBC Books, and regales us with stories of the writing of The Infinity Doctors and Father Time and also a valuable insight into writing for television and what books make money, and what books don't.

Joe, Frazer & Dylan; 'Travel hopefully...' It's the climax of the 13th Doctor's first season and surely I'm not going to find anybody bold enough to celebrate the least loved episode of Doctor Who? Let alone stack up 9 reasons to watch this at the conclusion? Press play and find out!

Join Rod, Joe, Lucy & Jim as we waltz out way through Argolins, Deons, Alzarians, Tharils, Trakens & Logopolitans! A fiesty, fun, laughter packed conversation with two great Hamster friends. Who will be victorious?

Michael Mills joins me as we speak to one of our favourite Doctor Who authors, Lance Parkin. In part one we discuss Just War, Cold Fusion & The Dying Days and the collaborative atmosphere in the Virgin office. Part Two coming tomorrow.

Join Paul Quinn & Joe Ford as they embark on a brand new Hamster venture - discussing the Creatives of Doctor Who. Find out all about it here and who will be our first subject...

Join Joe, Paul, David & James as they read Paul Magrs' idiosyncratic novel, Mad Dogs & Englishmen and discover if it is the journey or the destination, if it is risky or riskless and whether consensual sex between humans and dogs is appropriate material for Doctor Who.

Joe & Paul; ‘We’re getting him back!’ The ultimate McCoy homage? The most ruthless episode of Doctor Who? The one that refuses to conform to the rules? The worst? Get out of town!

Joe & Jack; ‘Don’t try to make a fool of me!’ The duo reach the end and wonder if they ever really existed at all, and if the holiday has done us some good. Is Jack’s childhood maintained?

Joe & Jack; 'we're caught in a space time trap!' Just what are the Master's best and worst disguises? What would it be like to be trapped in recursive occlusion drunk? And does something finally happen in the story?

Welcome to Strictly Come Hamster Episode Three. Rod, Joe, James & John discuss the stories of Season 11 - The Time Warrior, Invasion of the Dinosaurs, Death to the Daleks, The Monster of Peladon & Planet of the Spiders! Which story will be triumphant?

Join Joe, Andrew, Luke & Mark as we head Hyspero with the 8th Doctor & Sam and catch a ride on Iris Wildthyme's 99 to Putney Common! Magic, mysticism and myth in store!

Joe & Jack; ‘He’s gone, the Doctor’s gone!’ Zero drama and spectacle, and Jack & Joe take a lovely walk through the English countryside. Is this the point where Jack realises his childhood lies?

Joe& Jack; ‘we’re heading straight into the biggest explosion in history!’ Can you be subjective about a TV show you loved as a kid? Will we spot Adric’s cock? Is this the biegest Doctor Who story?
