Drunktor Who: A Doctor Who Podcast

Now that our podcast locks its bedroom door, ignores us, and calls us ‘stupid’, we give it space to let it explore itself as we discuss Series 14. Whilst said ‘special time’ is occurring (it’s natural... we all do it...), friend-of-the-show-Tim asks us which random Doctor/Companion pairing would ‘do it’ (ship much Tim?), we recycle past Drunktor Who talking points (which ones you hear depend on wh...

We watch “Empire of Death” (Series 14, Episode 8) where the Doctor realizes this season’s big big bad is a bad bad boy... oh yes you are... you are soo bad.... So whilst Sutekh is ‘Thanosing’™ the universe, Mel travels down memory lane, the Doctor goes spooning with a ‘kind’ woman (oh did we already get over Rogue? too soon Doctor... too soon...), and Ruby gets the lamest origin story. Even Hawkey...

We watch “The Legend of Ruby Sunday” (Series 14, Episode 7) where the Doctor commandeers the vast resources of UNIT to solve the season long mystery of... Ruby’s parentage? WTF? So the same woman who keeps showing up on various planets and in various time-lines is the frakkin’ B plot?!? OK then (deep breath). Whilst said misdirection is occurring, we are also treated to the blatant disregard to wh...

We watch “Rouge” (Series 14, Episode 6) where the Doctor and Ruby travel back to basically... Bridgerton! Whilst the Whosome Twosome dance to anachronistic chamber music, evil shape shifting bird people wreak havoc for (Nan-E filter engaged) poops and giggles (Shonda Rhimes wishes she thought of that). All that plus the Doctor flirts with a bounty hunter (surprisingly not Boba Fett... I mean would...

We watch “Dot And Bubble” (Series 14, Episode 5) in which we meet the seemingly vacuous and totally-non-homicidal Lindy Pepper-Bean. We follow Lindy on her typical day: she wakes up, checks her social feed, reports to work for her daily two hour shift, narrowly avoids being eaten by slow moving slug creatures…you know, the usual. Whilst all this was going down, the Doctor and Ruby are shocked (SHO...

We watch “73 Yards” (Series 14, Episode 4) where Ruby stars in the British remake of “It Follows”: “It Semperdistanses”. While Ruby keeps a constant 66.75 metres from her new lifelong lady friend, she learns the Welsh are dicks, she prevents a mad Welshman from making it rain nuclear warheads, and dies of old age on the shore of Wales whilst successfully informing her younger self to warn the Doct...

We watch "Boom" (Series 13, Episode 3) where the Doctor and Ruby take a ‘beach holiday’ on a planet where the invading religious forces are unknowingly fighting themselves in a blatant scheme for profit by the villainous Villengard Corporation.

We watch “The Devil's Chord” (Series 14, Episode 2) where the Doctor and their now fully fledged companion Ruby Sunday travel back to the swinging 60’s to meet the Beatles…whilst they were recording “Meet The Beatles”. As this trip down Penny Lane was occurring, the Doctor complains about the high price of tea, Ruby fangirls on Cilla Black (don’t ask me... Imma ‘Merican), and the Maestro found Rub...

We watch “Space Babies” (Series 14, Episode 1) where the Doctor takes trainee-companion Ruby Sunday on her first (mis?)adventure in the TARDIS. Whilst our Whosome Twosome travel about in time and/or space, Ruby gets schooled on sixty years of Whostory, the Doctor scares the (Nan-E filter engaged:) excrement out of the titular Space Babies, and misunderstood-monster-of-the-week the Bogeyman turns o...

We watch the last two episodes of the classic-Who serial “The Three Doctors” where the Doctors are tasked by the Time Lords with saving the universe. Whilst our titular heroes Moe, Larry, and Curly their way through the proceedings, Jo proves she’s more than just a stooge and the Brigadier Shemps his way to victory! I guess that makes Omega the Margaret Dumont of the story? This episode of the pod...

We watch the first two episodes of “The Three Doctors” (finally!) considered by most to be the 10th anniversary story of classic Who even though it aired nearly a year prior to the actual 10th anniversary…awkward. So whilst said premature shenanigans are shenaniganing, the Doctor investigates a rogue weather balloon, the Doctor catches up with UNIT, and the Doctor plays peacekeeper with the Doctor...

We watch the concluding episodes of classic serial “Spearhead From Space” where the third Doctor and soon-to-be-companion-Liz-Shaw (no relation to Tim Shaw) battle space tentacles (?) attempting to take over the earth. Whilst said Plan 9 From Outer Space is occurring, the Doctor continues wearing another man’s dirty clothes, Liz continues proving she’s the Doctor’s intellectual equal (oh the horro...

We end up watching the first two episodes of the classic serial “Spearhead From Space” where John ends up eating crow because Steve and I committed to watching “The Three Doctors” but I misremembered and thought that we were watching this story and did all the research for this story and then whilst live in the recording of the podcast Steve rightfully says that I was wrong but unofficial third co...

We watch the concluding episodes of “The Tomb of the Cybermen” where our retro-Whoby Crew attempt to lull the crankily woken up Cybermen back to their semi-eternal slumber. Whilst said cradle rocking is occurring, Doctor Mop-Top low key continues enabling murder, Jamie runs around... a lot..., and Victoria shows she smarter than the men by getting help.

We watch the first two episodes of the classic serial “The Tomb of the Cybermen” where Doctor Two takes Jamie and Victoria to a futuristic planet (that is most certainly not a quarry outside of London in 1967) where they encounter morons attempting to resurrect slumbering Cybermen. Whilst said rude awakening is occurring, Jamie gets ‘handsy’ with the Doctor, Victoria shoots a cyber-mousey, and the...

We watch the final two episodes of the “Time Meddler” saga ('A Battle of Wits' and 'Checkmate') where our retro Whoby crew discover the Meddling Monk is another time traveler with a plan to jump start human development. Whilst said Western Pro-Civilization is occurring, Vikings continue to slo-mo battle the Saxons, the Doctor sabotages the Monk’s Tardis (wait…what?!), and the American viewers (re:...

We watch the first two episodes of “The Time Meddler” four part saga (‘The Watcher’ and ‘The Meddling Monk’) where the 1st (or, at the time, only) Doctor takes established companion Vicki and accidental stowaway companion Steven to 11th century Northumbria. Whilst our listeners Googling of Northumbria is occurring, Vicki allows Steven to think he’s in charge after the Doctor takes a Viking holiday...

We watch “The Church on Ruby Road” (Series 14, Episode 0) where the newly bi-generated Doctor dances like no one is watching and apparent clumsy foundling Ruby Sunday is set up as a likely addition to the Doctor’s ‘fam’. Whilst said auditioning is occurring, Ruby reads for the role of ‘Marty McFly’, the Doctor channels ‘Doc Brown’, and the Goblins I guess are ‘Biff’? Come for the Christmas Special...

We watch “The Giggle” (60 Anniversary, Ep3) where the Doctor and Donna return to London and realize that yes, everyone on Earth is now the A—hole. Plus, for once the Doctor encounters an old foe who is not the Daleks nor the Cybermen nor the Sontarans nor the Weeping Angels nor the Master nor... sorry... it’s the Toymaker! So... yeah? Whilst said encountering is occurring, Donna negotiates a sweet...

We watch “Wild Blue Yonder” (60th Anniversary, Ep 2) where a sickly Tardis crash lands on an alien ship, vomits out the Doctor and Donna, then quickly buggers off to recuperate away from our traveling duo. Whilst exploring their new home, said duo quickly becomes a quartet after meeting their decidedly disturbing doppelgängers. One Doctor uses far too much salt whilst the other Doctor tries to put...

We watch “The Star Beast” (60th Anniversary, Ep 1) where the newly regenerated Doctor has a re-re-re-meet cute with past companion Donna Noble. Whilst said reconnecting is reoccurring, the Doctor attempts to puzzle out why this familiar face has returned, Donna attempts to remember why this skinny man is just so familiar, and Donna’s daughter Rose regrets trusting the titular beast Beep The Meep w...

Gather ‘round childrens whilst the adults discuss series 13 of our beloved Doctor Who. Plus this being show-runner Chris Chibnall’s and Doctor portrayer Jodie Whittaker’s final (for now...) series, we also discuss what they contributed to the Whoniverse. All that and friend-of-the-show-Tim asks us to weigh in on which classic sitcom characters could be Time Lords (we’re looking at you Mister Ed......

We watch "The Power of the Doctor" (Series 13, Episode 9) where the Whoby Crew descend upon a space train to foil a Cyberheist. No! Wait! Where the Whoby Crew travels to early 20th century Russia to foil the Master. No! Wait! Where the Whoby Crew recruit past companions and compatriots to foil the Daleks. No! Wait... sigh... Whilst all said plots are plotting, friend-of-the-show-Denise returns to...

We watch "Legend of the Sea Devils" (Series 13, Episode 8) where the Doctor takes Yaz and Dan to meet the Pirates of the Caribbean... er... of the China Sea!

Don’t forget to mark it off on the ‘obligatory homage to past foes’ squ...

We watch “Eve of the Daleks” (Series 13, Episode 7) where the Whoby Crew land themselves in a ‘Happy Death Day’ situation at a Manchester storage facility. Whilst said ‘Edge of Tomorrow’-ing is occurring, the Doctor tries to solve the mystery without her ‘Time Machine’ and Yaz ‘Run Lola Run’s away from her feelings because Dan wants to help Yaz become ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’. All this plus the...
