Drunktor Who: A Doctor Who Podcast

We watch “Flux: Chapter Six - The Vanquishers” (Series 13, Episode 6) where the Doctor gets split up into a non-holy trinity. Whilst said blasphemizing is occurring, the Doctor crashes the Sontarans' psychic stratagem, the Doctor explores Liverpool’s tumultuous tunnels of terror, and conversely the Doctor defeats Swarm, Azure, and the personification of Time by doing diddly dudes. This alliterativ...

We watch “Flux: Chapter Five - Survivors of the Flux” (Series 13, Episode 5) where the Weeping Doctor discovers their adoptive parent is totally a manipulative jerk. Whilst said family reunion is reunion-ing, Vinder hitches a Passenger to Diane-town, Bel learns the consequences of stowing away on a Lupari ship, Karvasista is still a good-good-boy and his human Dan is still an idiot-idiot, Jericho...

We watch “Flux: Chapter Four - Village of the Angels” (Series 13, Episode 4) where the Doctor and Fam discover a Weeping Angel is a shite co-pilot. When said Weeping Angel takes the wheel of the Tardis, the Whoby Crew end up in rural England circa November 1967 (known in the history books as the ‘Autumn of Post Coital Bliss’ which followed the ‘Summer of Love’), where Yaz and Dan get ‘booped’ back...

We watch "Flux: Chapter Three - Once, Upon Time" (Series 13, Chapter 3), an episode so confusing that one of your hosts repeatedly named it incorrectly. (John will throw himself to the mercies of Steve and the listeners on the following episode.) Whilst said perplexion is perplexioning, Dan misplaces his date, Yaz is a bad loser at video games, Vinder gets screwed over for being honest, and the Do...

We watch "Flux: Chapter Two - War of the Sontarans" (Series 13, Episode 2) where the Doctor and the Newby Crew are all transported to the Crimean War in the 19th century... until some of them get honorably discharged to parts elsewhere. Whilst the Doctor remains on the front to battle the historically inaccurate Sontarans, Dan returns to present day Liverpool to whack said Sontarans with a wok, an...

We welcome best selling author and humongous Doctor Who fan Andy Weir to the podcast where we discuss “City of Death”. This Fourth Doctor’s 1979 story was Andy’s choice not just because it’s a great story but for the sizzling chemistry between the Doctor and Romana... since the actors were frakking at the time apparently. Whilst speaking about Who with the man responsible for “The Martian” occurs,...

We watch "Flux: Chapter One - The Halloween Apocalypse" (Series 13, Episode 1) where the Doctor and Yaz pick up stray companion Dan. Whilst our remaining Whoby crew adopt this good-good-boy for our abbreviated-because-of-Covid-season, assorted shenanigans occur. Said shenanigans include appearances by dog-people (the Lupari), crystalline-people (Swarm and Azure), and... potato-people (Sontarans?)....

We conclude our watch of the 1971 serial "Terror of the Autons" where the Doctor, Jo Grant, and UNIT assemble to defeat an evil plastic intent on taking over the world. Wait! Didn’t we already cover that in Series 12? Well, I guess it’s timey-wimey. Whilst said story-pre-recycling is occurring, the Doctor finds he prefers cordless phones, Jo is most definitely not a flower person, and the Master g...

We watch the first two episodes of the Third Doctor story “Terror of the Autons”, originally broadcast before one of your cohosts was born. (Spoilers: it’s Steve. John is older than dirt. Carbon dating certification available on request.) Whilst we enjoy Jo Grant’s first story and her groovy 70’s style, the sexism of the 70s... not so much. Perhaps the first outing of the Doctor’s frenemy will hel...

Welcome again weary travelers to the latest season recap of our most prior recapping of the previously watched and/or rewatched series 12 of Doctor Who. On this episode, friend-of-the-show-Tim asks us to over-serve the Doctors, Steve asks John to Finish Bigly or Horrifically, all whilst John surprises sports-fan-Steve with a Series-12-Bad-Guy-Bracket. (The winner surprisingly is not BENNY...but sh...

We watch "Revolution of the Daleks" (Series 12, Episode 11) where Captain Jack Harkness busts the Doctor out of the Judoon Prizoon whilst the Whoby crew celebrate New Years Day by complaining that the Doctor hasn’t been around to visit. So anyways... when the Doctor returns to Earth after (for her) decades atoning for a crime she didn’t commit, she encounters various Daleks attempting to (again? y...

We watch "The Timeless Children" (Series 12, Episode 10) where the Doctor is the latest guest on "This Is Your Lives". Whoa! Whilst the Master traps the Doctor in the Time Lord Matrix (but not THAT Matrix™), the Fam+ (not to be confused with Disney+... the Doctor’s future overlord) take the red pill (staying in the real world... not to be confused with our current AI overlords) to battle the Cyber...

We watch "Ascension of the Cybermen" (Series 12, Episode 9) where the Doctor and Fam travel to the distant future and find the absolutely, positively, finalist of all final humans (for reals this time... wink) holding off an attack by Cybermen. Cybermen who are attempting (rather successfully) to kill them all off. But, but, but don’t they like to assimilate humans? Anyways... the episode ends on...

We watch “The Haunting of Villa Diodati” (Series 12, Episode 8) where the Doctor and Fam crash a party at said Villa on a dark and stormy 19th century night. Whilst hanging out with party goers Mary and Percy Shelley, the Who Crew encounter a time warp (again?), that’ll take more than a jump (to the left), and a step (to the right) to puzzle out. Fortunately, there’s a guiding light in the firepla...

We watch "Can You Hear Me?" (Series 12, Episode 7) where the Doctor takes a holiday in 14th century Syria after dropping off the Fam back in 21st century Sheffield. Whilst said day-tripping is occurring, Graham, Ryan, and Yaz all experience horrific nightmares that surprisingly don’t just involve them being back in Sheffield. After the Doctor saves the day (or rather the night...), she is a total...

We watch "Praxeus" (Series 12, Episode 5) where the Whoby Crew investigates why the birds are going all 'Hitchcocky' and why people are dying unexpectedly. Whilst said people are blowin’ up real good, the Fam recruit even more helpers in Hong Kong, Peru, and Madagascar, until you need a score card to tell who’s Who. Thankfully, the gays live and we find out plastics are bad. So... yay and boo?

We watch "Fugitive of the Judoon" (Series 12, Episode 5) where the Doctor(s?) re-encounter their rhino-nosed 'friends' from the tenth era Doctor. Whilst said reunion is occurring, the Doctor learns a Judoon Platoon not from the Moon is looking for a fugitive by the name of Ruth Claytoon... er... Clayton (my bad)...located in Londoon...dammit... I mean Gloucester! As one dooes. But wait... Captain...

We watch "Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror" (Series 12, Episode 4) where Nikola Tesla experiences (spoilers!) more than one night of said terror. Whilst said terror was terrorizing, Tesla and Dorothy escape an undead pursuer, Tesla and Thomas Edison escape another undead pursuer, Tesla and Yaz encounter the nasty alien Queen of the Skithra, and finally Tesla and the Doctor use Tesla's powerful direc...

We watch "Orphan 55" (Series 12, Episode 3) where the Whoby Crew transports to Tranquility Spa on the titularly named planet for an all-inclusive vacation. Whilst said cruise for booze is occurring (not in the sea voyage way unfortunately), Yaz rock-blocks long-in-the-tooth-Benni (Benni!!!) from proposing to put-a-ring-on-her-Vilma (where’s my Benni? Benni!!!), Graham gets banana-hammock-blocked a...

We watch "Spyfall, Part 2" (Series 12, Episode2) where the Doctor traipses around time with historically important women as the Whoby Crew dances on their smart phones. Whilst said "traipsing" is occurring, Graham, Ryan, and Yaz successfully land a plane, elude scores of kidnappers, and do their part in foiling the alien takeover of Earth. Concurrently, the Doctor defeats the Master in the 19th, 2...

We watch "Spyfall, Part 1" (Series 12, Episode 1) where the Doctor and the Whoby Crew get taken to MI6 in order to solve a groovy mystery. Whilst said investigating is going on, Yaz and Ryan check out obvious bad guy billionaire Daniel Barton, the Doctor and Graham meet with McGuffin expert O, and glowing aliens are plotting to take over the universe! Oh yeah... perhaps I should mention that O is...

We watch the final two episodes of the classic series story "Remembrance of the Daleks" featuring the seventh Doctor and Ace. Whilst viewing Ace's unlikely survival from the previous episode's cliffhanger, we struggle to accept that two warring factions of Daleks are trying to... I dunno... fight each other to achieve the same result? And then when that fight is won by the Doctor, Davros is defeat...

We watch the first two episodes of the classic 7th Doctor serial "Remembrance of the Daleks" where the Doctor and his companion Ace visit Cole Hill School London circa November 1963... again? Whilst pointedly not seeing himself nor his granddaughter Susan (it’s timey wimey kids), this Doctor Battles never before seen (at this point) flying Daleks, and Ace crushes on Sergeant Mike Smith. Unless Ace...

Once again, you’re tuning in to hear the Podcast co-hosts discuss a season of “Doctor Who”; this time a (re) watch of series 11, Jodie Whitaker’s first season as the titular character. As per usual, John gives an overly positive view of the season’s episodes, Steve gives his more objective opinion whilst Friend-Of-The-Show-Tim sends in a game for your boys to play. Plus John comes up with an excit...

We watch "Resolution" (Series 11, Episode 11) where the Doctor and her traveling companions skip over the usual Winter Solstice celebration and jump directly to the Druidic Bacchanalia! Whilst said New Year's recovery is occurring the gang gets a distress call from Earth warning them that some archaeologists in Sheffield (of all places) are working on the holiday. As a result, Yaz whips into cop m...
