Drunktor Who: A Doctor Who Podcast

In this 24th episode of our Deja Brew series where we re-watch Doctor Who episodes covered years back, we do said thingy for the 10th Doctor’s swan song: ‘The End Of Time’ parts 1 and 2. We begin with the Master returning to life and treating London like an all-you-care-to-eat buffet, Wilf searching for the Doctor with every horny London pensioner, and then end up with the Doctor not wanting to go...

This here 23rd Deja Brew Nu Who re-watch-a-thon first finds that ‘The Next Doctor’ isn’t... about the next Doctor that is. Whilst said titular gaslighting is occurring, the Doctor travels to mid 19th century London (again?) to thwart a BCG (Big Cyber Giant). Next up on the roster is ‘Planet Of The Dead’ where the Doctor travels to contemporary London (of course) to thwart an invasion of BMLs (Big...

Our 22nd Deja Brew podcast starts off with ‘Turn Left’ where Donna goes on a Capra-esque journey whilst the Doctor wisely sits this one out to get a Brazilian. Next up is ‘The Stolen Earth’ where the Doctor and Donna find that the Earth has been... well... stolen. Fortunately all the spin offs were free to phone in a tip on how to find it. Finally we have ‘Journey’s End’ where Donna returns to her...

Continuing with the 21st Nu-Who-Deja-Brew-Re-Watch-Mini-Series (but really... isn’t it a Maxi-Series by now?), we got some here bangers on this here episode! ‘Silence In The Library’ has the Doctor and Donna try to find out (Hey!) who turned out the lights(!) whilst ‘Forest Of The Dead’ spoil(er)s the manner of death for future companion(ish) Professor River Song. Then ‘Midnight’ has Donna wisely...

The 20th Deja Brew podcast leads off with ‘The Poison Sky’ where an early adopter of the man-o-sphere sees the errors of his ways and blows himself up real good in order to prevent an invasion of Sontarans... of his own making tho so F that guy! ‘The Doctor’s Daughter’ follows with said daughter/clone of the Doctor being introduced and never mentioned/referenced again much to the chagrin of co-hos...

The Deja Brews continues with the 19th podcast of this here mini-series where we re-watch old nu-Who. Continuing with series 4’s ‘The Fires Of Pompeii’ where the Doctor and Martha take a light-hearted jaunt to the past whilst unwittingly causing the deaths of thousands. ‘Planet Of The Ood’ finds our duo taking a light-hearted jaunt to the future whilst unwittingly taking part in a slave uprising....

We rejoin our rewatch mini-series already in progress with our 18th Deja Brew episode. Whilst jumping back into old nu-Who series 4, we start off with ‘Voyage Of The Damned’ where the Doctor goes on an adventure of Poseidon proportions after meeting Astrid, a woman he just can’t get outta his head. Next up is ‘Partners In Crime’ where the Doctor and Donna Noble reunite to mate... erm... be mates!...

We conclude our ‘War On Sobriety’ by watching the fifth and final episode of the Doctor Whojacent series ‘The War Between The Land And The Sea’. ‘The End Of The War’ accomplishes what the title promises by turning totally normal bloke Barclay into an unwitting biological weapon. Because said weapon craves those fishy kisses from Salt, Barclay infects her and then she infects two friends, and they...

‘The Witch And The Waterfall’ is the fourth episode of our ‘War On Sobriety’ mini-series where inst we continue to take a magnifying glass to the ‘Doctor Who’ spin-off: ‘The War Between The Land And The Sea’. Whilst punctuation and run-on sentences continue to be tortured for these podcast descriptions, totally normal bloke Barclay goes on the run with Salt, Salt discovers Barclay tastes of salt,...

We’re still conducting our ‘War On Sobriety’ by discussing ‘The Deep’, the third episode of ‘The War Between The Land And The Sea’, the Doctor Whojacent mini-series. This time totally normal bloke Barclay agrees to meet with Salt on their home turf: five miles under water. Whilst Barclay hopes his submersible doesn’t go full ‘Titan’ on the trip down, Kate is fighting to prevent the titans of indus...

On February 22nd in the year of Time Lord 2016, yet another podcast hosted by two middle aged white guys (unimaginatively named Steve and John) talking about Doctor Who was vomited onto the internets. This one was way different: in that our third friend Al Cohol was officially made a co-host. (He normally likes to keep things on the down low... but is usually a part of most podcasts... right?) To...

We continue ‘The War On Sobriety’ by watching the second episode of ‘The War Between The Land And The Sea’ titled ‘Plastic Apocalypse’. Whilst totally normal bloke Barclay settles uneasily into his role as the human ambassador, his Sea Devil counterpart takes a shine to his aw-shucks demeanor; then creates a literal shit-storm over the land by returning our trash and... well... shit. All that plus...

We begin a new mini-series we’re calling ‘The War On Sobriety’ where we cover the Doctor Whojacent mini-series ‘The War Between The Land And The Sea’. First up is episode one titled ‘Aqua Homo’ in which we are introduced to totally normal bloke Barclay. Unfortunately Barclay is treading water since he’s in way over his head... and paygrade... when he is called in as an ‘expert’ to bear witness to...

We conclude our latest relapse by watching the remaining three episodes of this 3rd Doctor serial “The Sea Devils” featuring... well, you know... the Sea Devils! Whilst the said titular Sea Devils finally start to wreak havoc, it turns out (surprise?) the Master is just using them to achieve his nefarious ends. Until the Sea Devils flip the script (surprise!) on the Master and use him to achieve t...

In this latest podcast episode, we take a slow walk down memory lane by watching the first half of 6 episodes where the 3rd incarnation of the Doctor takes a boat trip with then companion Jo Grant to check in on the super-duper-evil yet super-duper-well-guarded-prisoner (ha!) the Master on a remote (?) island prison where we hope they eventually encounter our titular foes: “The Sea Devils”. Whilst...

We continue our Doctor Who re-watch by discussing Series 3’s final three episodes in our 17th Deja Brew podcast all whilst I attempt to make this description seem less tortured from the last one. Firstly, in “Utopia”, Captain Jack’s return is overshadowed by the return of the Master. Think of the Master as the Tweety Bird to the Doctor’s Puddy Tat. Or is that the other way around? Nextly, “The Sou...

Deja Brew 16 celebrates the re-discussion of the two part series 3 story comprising “Human Nature” and “The Family of Blood” where Martha puts up with a whole bunch of crap whilst the Doctor cosplays being a love-struck human in love. Though sadly for Martha said human is not Martha. Sad face. Meanwhilst the B plot finds an alien family tortured for all eternity by the Doctor. I mean they had it c...

Our 15th Deja Brew mini-series podcast Nu-Who re-watch (deep breath) continues with the last three (mostly) unrelated episodes from Series 3. In “The Lazarus Experiment” Martha and the Doctor battle a relentless monster: Martha’s Mum! Oh... and a giant scorpion man. “42” has Martha trying to reason with a monster: her Mum! Oh... and a sentient star. Lastly “Blink” finds the Doctor and Martha mostl...

Join us with our 14th Deja Brew podcast. This time we’re rewatching Nu-Who’s Series 3 two-part 4th and 5th episodes where the Doctor takes Martha to Depression era New York City because... depressions are fun? “Daleks In Manhattan” delivers exactly what the title promises whilst “Evolution Of The Daleks” also delivers on its titular goodness! All that plus a one-eyed-human-Dalek-hybrid that just i...

We re-sume our Nu-Who re-watch with Series 3’s first 3 episodes. First we re-discuss “Smith and Jones” where the Doctor meets rebound companion Not-Rose (Martha to her family), and then encounters a platoon of Judoon on the moon. Next up is “The Shakespeare Code” where the surprisingly sexy bard flirts with both the Doctor and Martha whilst the trio attempt to vanquish a trio of mostly unsexy alie...

We conclude Drunktor Spooktober’s classic-era-folk-horror-themed-spooky-mini-series with the four part 1989 story “The Curse of Fenric” where the Seventh Doctor and Ace find themselves in England during WWII battling the titular Fenric, militaries of various flavours, and, of course, vampires. As one does. Whilst the Doctor forges a permission slip to do whatever the hell he wants, Ace faces her b...

We continue our spooky mini-series watching classic era Doctor Who stories featuring folk horror. This episode we watch the 1977 serial “Horror of Fang Rock” where the Fourth Doctor and Leela mistakenly land on the titular Fang Rock expecting a holiday but instead finding... horror! Oh... and murder. Lots of murder. As the Doctor tries to puzzle out all the murdering going on in the creepy lightho...

Welcome to the first episode of our folk horror themed mini-series that we’re calling “Drunktor Spooktober” (my preferred spelling was going to be “Spwhoktober” but I knew Steve wouldn’t let me get away with that... sad face) where we watch (hopefully) scary Doctor Who stories from the classic era. This episode we watch a 1971 story, “The Daemons” where the Third Doctor encounters forces totally o...

We re-discuss the second of the New Who Xmas specials: "The Runaway Bride". This time with special guest wife-of-the-podcast-Heidi! We pick up from the end of the prior episode where the freshly single Doctor is introduced to Donna, who is mysteriously plucked from her wedding by the Tardis. Whilst attempting to return Donna to the ceremony, the Doctor commits multiple crimes, Donna discovers her...

We watch the 7th Doctor serial "Time and the Rani" where the newly regenerated Doctor gets hoodwinked into helping the newly red-headed Rani with her sciencing. Whilst said fooling is going down, the temporarily befuddled Doctor puts on a fashion show for the Rani (who is wearing ‘Mel’ drag), actual Mel proves her companion cred with some truly awesome screaming, and the Rani tries to ctrl-alt-del...
