Doctor Who: Verity!

We've pulled another delightful interview out of the vault! Deb had the pleasure of speaking with Jemma Redgrave  at LI Who in 2016. Join Deb and Erika as we chat about the con and then listen as Deb talks to Jemma about how badly she wanted a part on  Doctor Who , how she made her children watch the classic series, having a family of actors, and of course, lots about Kate Stewart! (And more!) ^E...

This game may not be called You Monster, You , but boy did it end up making us feel like monsters! Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we make DIFFICULT and TERRIBLE choices that YOU made us pick between. Seriously, I have  words for some of you... Huge thanks to Sage and Kim of Head Over Feels ! We blatantly and unashamedly stole borrowed "This or That" from them after their lolarious on-stage v...

Our year of loves and lasts continues with a rather big "last". Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we discuss 1989's "Survival", which was a "last" in many ways, although it wasn't originally intended as such. How do you feel about 7's last full story? What did you think of the Cheetah People's costumes? Is that infamous line really the nadir of Sylvester McCoy's performances on Doctor Who ? Let u...

It's a new game show! Deb and her devious friends developed this doozy of a dilemma-based debacle. Join Deb as she torments Liz and Lynne with truly monstrous decisions. It's a delight! So are you a monster? Why or why not? Let us know in the comments! ^E

Now that series 10 is over, our year of loves and lasts continues with a love. A lot of love. Two episodes of love, in fact! Join Deb, Erika, and Tansy as we dip back into series 2 with a two-parter that Deb just loves: "The Impossible Planet" and "The Satan Pit". Do you love these eps like we do? Do you find the same bits a tad uncomfortable? Other bits? No bits? Let us know in the comments! ^E A...

It's official! We have a new Doctor! And she's a SHE. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we dive into our reactions to this truly momentous news. There were many tears, though not for all the same reasons. But we won't see Jodie Whittaker in the role for months. And then after that, it'll be a  lotta months before we get the next series. In our second timey-wimey segment we talk about what we'...

It's time to wrap up series 10. Le sigh. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we talk about character arcs, friendships, favorites, least favorites, and lots and lots more about the finale. What did you think of series 10 as a whole? Let us know in the comments! ^E

That's it. Series 10 is over. None of us are happy to see it go, but many of us are happy about how it went. Join Erika, Katrina, Lynne, and Tansy as we hash over this finale and discuss what we might see (and what we want to see) at Christmas. How do you think the Doctor fell? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered: Tansy successfully Kickstarted Mother of Invention ! discovered the excelle...

It's a rare on-location  Verity!  with an even-rarer special guest! Join Erika, Liz, and returning guest,  Caroline Symcox  as we discuss part one of the season finale story. It was some intense  Doctor Who , and we have some intense reactions to it. We also have some wacky theorizing. Warning: Wacky theorizing may cause disappointment when the show doesn't do what the wacky theory said it might....

What a fascinating discussion this week's  Doctor Who episode lends itself to. Join Deb, Erika, and Tansy as we discuss women who are allowed to fail and still be heroes, the sexual politics of Romans, the Doctor's (possible?) impatience, Bill's outlook on history and its denizens, Nardole as a "space tourist", and much more. Erika, of all people, even has a cracktastic fan theory about the next s...

Low expectations may have helped, but all three Verities enjoyed this ep to varying degrees. Join Deb, Erika, and Katrina as we talk about what we liked and, of course, the few things we didn't. There was some definite "iffy" territory to cover as well. What did you think of "Empress of Mars"? Was it rollicking, fanservicey fun? Did it make you uncomfortable from a representational perspective? Po...

There's been a lot of agreement on the podcast as of late, but that ends today! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we disagree over whether this story worked and how many episodes it really should have been. At least there's consensus on Peter Capaldi's hair and Pearl Mackie. What did you think of "The Lie of the Land"? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered: Kat covets a  jacket with the...

It's another Verity! three-hander, but we soldier on to dig into this "meaty" episode. Join Deb, Erika, and Tansy as we talk about consent--as it relates to our feelings about the word as well as world politics. We speculate about a possible impending reset button (or not?). And there's an awful lot of squee. Not all of it is related to the episode itself. Spreadsheets, man. Spreadsheets. Did you...

After a mind-bendy episode of  Doctor Who , we need to talk it through to really come to terms with us. Join Deb, Erika, and Tansy as we do just that. What was real? What did it mean? What did it portend for the future? What's the deal with Nardole? And who's really in the vault? We answer...maybe one of these questions. Maybe. What did you think of "Extremis"? And all those other things? Let us k...

A proper space episode! Join Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we discuss non-zombies, evil capitalism, disability, and racism.  Doctor Who was pulling no punches this week! What did you think of this ep? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered: Liz recommends  King Charles III , starring  Doctor Who alum Tim Pigott-Smith! Lynne enjoyed  Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 , starring  Doctor Who alum Karen...

A spooky house, an unreachable tower, a creepy landlord, and a bunch of young folks moving in together. Join Deb, Erika, and Liz as we discuss what these ingredients add up to. Was it a delightfully scary tale or something less than that? Let us know what you think in the comments! ^E Also covered: Liz is thrilled to have  Doctor Who back regularly ! watched "The Face of Evil" , which is fine! Eri...

Lynne's dream has finally come true! But was it as good as she imagined? Join Deb, Lynne, and Tansy as they discuss their expectations, racism, classism, frocks, and poop. Did you enjoy this dip into the past? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered: Lynne is psyched that David Suchet (Poirot) will be in the next ep! is still really enjoying  Class ! Tansy is delighted by the ABC's aftershow,...

Two weeks in a row with new  Doctor Who to watch! We're practically beside ourselves. Join Deb, Erika, Top Kat, and Lynne as we chew on "Smile". Feelings are mixed about this one, and as always, that leads to a great discussion. Also as always, there's aheaping helping of silliness--this time, in the form of mashed potatoes. (Just listen. It'll make sense. Probably.) What did you think of "Smile"?...

IT'S HERE IT'S HERE IT'S HERE! FINALLY! We have watched a new episode of  Doctor Who ! Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we talk about Bill, the Doctor, (possibly) dead lesbians, fat jokes, re-treaded ground, callbacks, and lots more. Are you as excited to have  Who back on the airwaves/internets as we are? Why or why not? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered: Erika discovers the @daily...

It's time to talk about something Tansy loves! Join Deb, Erika, and the aforementioned Tansy as we delve into the Land of Fiction and talk about metatextuality, rearranging faces, Medusas, and unicorns! Have you seen this story? Did you love it like we did? Do you have other metatextual recommendations? (And yes. We did totally miss The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who , though that's kind of the opposit...

It's a life-induced Emergency Extra!, complete with help from you, the listener! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we answer listener questions! We talk about missing episodes, ones we wish were missing, podcasts, and non- DW obsessions. It's great fun! Do you have questions you'd like us to throw into the mix for next time we do this? Leave a comment or tweet them at us with the hashtag #Ask...

Did someone order a silly Extra!? Because we've certainly got one for you! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we talk about  Doctor Who novelty music. Some of it is fun, some is painful. You be the judge of which is which. Which are your most and least favorite  DW novelty songs? Did we miss any? (Note: We tried to mostly stick to novelty songs and avoid Trock .) Let us know what you think in th...

This week's "last" is a goodbye to a companion we're all quite fond of, Steven Taylor (not to be confused with Steven Tyler). Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we marvel at the excellence of this story, the excellence of Dodo in it, the excellence of Steven's reason for leaving the TARDIS, and the total lack of excellence in the general amount of fandom discussion surrounding this story. Why have...

It's time for another gametastic Extra! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we battle it out for most Trivial Verity of 2017. We fully admit, this is not our skill set. But golly do we have fun! ^E

What makes a good final episode for a Doctor or companion? Join Deb, Katrina, and Liz as they discuss just that. What do you think are the hallmarks of a good last episode?
