Bannerman Buddies

Are you (*18th letter of the alphabet*)eady for it? Sarah Jane joins fellow Khia escapees Charli XCX & Zara Larsson as she makes her triumphant exodus from that dreaded asylum. Meanwhile, Ruby White catches up with her good pals Bebe Rexha & Azealia Banks as she begins her lengthy sentence. What a flop!! And for anyone who didn't understand a word of that, Sam & Mark will be getti...

*TW: This episode deals with themes of grief and an implied Dementia related illness.* 'When a new supreme rises, the old one fades away.'  The gang come across a mysterious new c*nty lady who's just as impressive as Sarah-Jane when it comes to alien investigation. And as for SJ... well, the fall-off sure needs to be studied. Which is precisely what we do in this episode! In this ep...

Kate is so kind! We've reached the end of our journey with the Homo Aqua, and there's quite a lot to dive into for the big finale.  Find us at our socials: Twitter: BannermanBuddi1 IG: bannermanbuddies Tik Tok: @bannermanbuddi1

"Wibbly Wobbly TImey Wimey" indeed! Can Rani save Lady Jane (before she gets executed anyway, oop)? Will Clyde be able to stop actual Nazis from doing Nazi stuff? Could Sarah-Jane lay off the child bullying even for a second? And can all 3 manage this while retracting the Chronosteel in time? In this episode, the Bannerman Buddies review Lost in Time Part 2.

Is this the 2nd single from Kylie Minogue's third studio album 'Rhythm of Love'? Cause we're about to Step Back in Time! The gang must search for 3 mystery objects at 3 separate points in history. Rani enters her Tudor Era, Clyde encounters literal nazis, and Sarah Jane does her favourite pastime: bullying a child for believing in ghosts. In this episode, the Bannerman Buddies...

They may not be the brightest, nor the fastest, but those robots are some of the Whoniverse villains of all time! The countdown is on for Rani and Clyde get everyone back to planet Earth, but this time with no help from our beloved Sarah Jane. Plus, there's fun continuity from a previous episode that becomes important, if you know you know. In this episode, the Bannerman Buddies review The Em...

We do stan an SJ-lite episode from time to time. The focus is on Rani and Clyde this time as they find themselves as the only 2 people left on Earth. Where did everyone else go? Why does it appear to be just those 2 left behind? Since when were sonic devices capable of doing that? Mama, let's research. In this episode, the Bannerman Buddies review The Empty Planet Part 1.  Find us at our soci...

We have reached the end of our 'quasi-3 parter' that concludes not only this serial but Sarah Jane's last ever adventure with The Doctor (which isn't a completely morbid thing to say at all!) 😢 Our coverage will have twice the amount of mother (SJ & Jo), a dash of sexy (Mr. 11th Doctor). and perhaps a little extra tea along the way (provided by Mark, but Sam was very happy...

"She's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment." Sam and Mark are taking a slight delay in our coverage of 'Death of the Doctor' to bring you a brief insight into the life of an often overlooked but absolutely gorgeous companion within the Doctor Who canon. Expect tales of Jo being a woman in STEM, a love story for the ages, and plenty of run-ins with the sea d...

We are back back back again after another TOTALLY intentional and not at all flop hiatus with a new episode of our beloved podcast. This time, we're diving into a fan favourite story that may just feature some additional content that the occasion calls for. Including a fun theory that involves the contemporaneous series Torchwood 👀 In this episode, the Bannerman Buddies review The Death of t...

As the kids today might say, Sarah Jane refused to share her nachos with Gita and the other divas at B.U.R.P.S. And if that made zero sense to you - go ahead and listen to whatever the heck it is we're talking about this time. In this episode, the Bannerman Buddies review The Vault of Secrets Part 2. Find us at our socials: Twitter: BannermanBuddi1 IG: bannermanbuddies Tik Tok: @bannermanbudd...

A Bannerman Buddies hiatus? Could never be us... We are finally continuing with our Season 4 journey of our much-beloved sci-fi show. From SJ's relentless gatekeeping to the return of our favourite lizard man, it has been quite a treat. Not to mention we get so much Gita this episode, so slay! Plus, Mark spills the tea regarding his recent encounters with a few people you may just be familiar...

The time has finally come. Sam & Mark cover the epic tale and fan-favourite episode of Doctor Who that serves as the back door pilot for the Sarah Jane Adventures. Plus it's the first time we're actually covering straight-up Doctor Who! And just in time for Christmas!! In this episode, the Bannerman Buddies review SCHOOL REUNION!!!! Find us at our socials: Twitter: BannermanBuddi1 IG...

That's right! Another Gitasode already!! (Aka Sam is v. sleepy and we'll get back to regular programming soon, I promise.) But for now, here's our 2nd entry into the audiobook series, beautifully retold by Mark. You could say this story has some... rocky tensions (oof Sam is also struggling to write these pls help xox.) In this episode, the Bannerman Buddies (just Mark) review The T...

Mark stans can once again rejoice as we launch a new series diving deeper into pretty niche territory. The audio stories! Mark is taking us back back back to the season 1 days with a particularly glimmering tale with the OG gang. I strongly do not advise making a drinking game of every time we said 'gold' throughout the episode. In this episode, The Bannerman Buddies (mostly Mark tbh) ta...

Madonna said it best, there really is no greater power than the power of goodbye. And the 2 goodbyes we have here sure are powerful enough to make a grown man (Mark) blubber like a wee baby. But when Mr Joseph Lidster isn't pulling on our heartstrings, this story provides us with eerie nightmare sequences, the gay robots working it out on the remix, and THAT SCARF!!!! In this episode, the Ban...

From corny Facebook status updates, to recession pop bangers! We have now officially entered the domain of early 2010s culture. And with this linear movement of time, the gang are maturing and (arguably) encountering their most sinister villain yet.  What will Sam & Mark make of this change of tone in their beloved spinoff? Listen to find out!! In this episode, the Bannerman Buddies review The...

🎵 When I put on a pod I wanna hear Bannerman Buddies. 🎵 It's officially the end of Brat Summer but not until we find a way to incorporate this phenomenon into our silly little podcast. So we (90% Sam, 10% Mark) will be running through our top 10 most Brat-coded moments of the 365 party girl herself.  SJ truly is so Julia.  💚💚💚 Find us at our socials: Twitter: BannermanBuddi1 IG: bannerma...

As one story draws to an end, another one is just beginning (the former being Bannerman Buddies Season 3 and the latter being the new season of Doctor Who FYI.) That's right! The stars aligned for your favorite duo as we're dropping our season finale simultaneously with the Doctor Who Season 14 (or 1 or 40 lol) premiere!! This should keep the Whovians more well-fed than Leaf & Tree o...

It's time for the last story of the season babyyyy! We've got a mysterious new plant, seemingly moral grey areas, literal twink death before our very eyes, and (last but not least) character actress Miriam Margoyles! What more could you ask for? In this episode, the Bannerman Buddies review The Gift Part 1. Find us at our socials: Twitter: BannermanBuddi1 IG: bannermanbuddies Tik Tok: @b...

Mark stans rejoice!! It's time for the human TardisWiki himself to take you through his thoughts and feelings for Vol. 2 of the audio spinoff series, Rani Takes On The World. And Sam is, once again, just happy to be included. Find us at our socials: Twitter: BannermanBuddi1 IG: bannermanbuddies Tik Tok: @bannermanbuddi1

Is that a Sontaran Blaster or are you just happy to see me? Sam and Mark are once again joined by TV person and culture podcaster Simon Gibson to discuss the 2nd part of this campy campy serial.  It may be SJ-lite, but this episode more than makes up for it with interesting lore, sudden twists, surprise appearances, and did we mention art? In this episode, the Bannerman Buddies review Mona Lisa&ap...

Did somebody mention Art? Well, Sam, Mark, and our special guest Simon Gibson have got you covered as your cultural connoisseurs. This time we're diving into the cultural cesspool of the art world that takes a rather sinister (but oh so campy) twist for our beloved gang. In this episode. the Bannerman Buddies review Mona Lisa's Revenge Part 1.   Find us at our socials: Twitter: Bannerman...
