Drunktor Who: A Doctor Who Podcast

We watch "The Pilot" (Series 10, Episode 1) where the Doctor coasts along as a chilly college professor until new companion Bill Potts tries to soft reboot him into giving a damn again. Whilst said thaw is occurring, a shoddily reconstructed Nardole is falling to pieces, Bill meets the woman of her dreams who just wants to make Bill wet (unfortunately in a non-consensual way), and the Doctor finds...

Join us for a very special Fifth Relapse where we watch an original flavor episode of Doctor Who that does not star Tom Baker! Instead, we watch the first full story of COLIN Baker’s reign as our beloved Timelord: "The Twin Dilemma"! Wait... what? This one? Oh crap... Hopefully you’ll still listen whilst we discuss the sixth Doctor’s apparent propensity for violence, misogyny, and (most importantl...

The illustrious hosts of this long running podcast discuss what makes series nine of the rebooted long running series "Doctor Who" happily succeed yet still sadly "suck seed" in the very same season. Whilst said discussions of said contradictions are contradictorily being discussed, John sadly recycles talking points of prior discussions, Steve gamely introduces talking points not previously discu...

We watch "The Return of Doctor Mysterio" (Series 9, Episode 14) where the Doctor travels to post 1920s New York City circa 1994 in order to fix the time conundrum created when he doomed Amy and Rory to die in the past of their future selves due to their deaths being a fixed point-in-time... oi vey! Whilst hopeful doom-fixing was occurring, Nardole was repaired to companion status, overly trusting...

We watch "The Husbands of River Song" (Series 9, Episode 13) where (spoilers!) this Doctor meets up with his clueless wife River Song whilst she adds to her polyamorous menagerie of spouses. Whilst said polyamory is occurring, the Doctor says "Hello Sweetie" to River who finally recognizes him whilst she plots the death of her latest husband, King Hydroflax. Afterwards, River and the Doctor meet u...

We watch "Hell Bent" (Series 9, Episode 12) where the Doctor, now freed from his confession dial after billions of years, chooses to forgive his fellow Time Lords for their part in Clara’s death... psych! Instead he choo-choo-chooses to go all out War Doctor Redux against Gallifrey! Whilst the Doctor’s Revengering is occurring, he gives the General a total makeover, he brings back Clara as the unl...

We watch "Heaven Sent" (Series 9, Episode 11) where the Doctor gets beamed to Azkaban after witnessing the absolutely final no-take-backs death of beloved (by dozens) companion Clara. Whilst at said remote locale, the Doctor repeatedly evades the world’s slowest Dementor, the Doctor also takes up extreme gardening and finally the Doctor belatedly realizes he is the star of a "Groundhog Day" reboot...

We watch "Face The Raven" (Series 9, Episode 10) where the Doctor and Clara meet back up with London street artist Rigsy to see his new neck tattoo. Whilst said 'appreciation' of bad decision making is occurring, the woman now known as Me (previously known as Ashildr) has set a trap for the Doctor, said trap causes the completely avoidable death of Clara, and the Doctor vows to avenge her death. W...

We watch "Sleep No More" (Series 9, Episode 9) where the Doctor and Clara encounter evil 38th century eye-boogers. Whilst said eye-booger encountering was occurring, it turns out the entire episode was likely fraudulent found footage. Or it wasn’t. Darn you writer Mark Gattis... you’re supposed to be Sherlock Holmes’ smarter brother... why did you write yet another unloved Who episode?!?

We watch "The Zygon Inversion" (Series 9, Episode 8) where the Doctor and erstwhile companion Osgood make an early departure from their flight due to rabid Zygon anti-human-maskers. Whilst said 'peaceful' protestation is occurring, Clara attempts to isolate herself from... herself (?), Osgood brings Bonnie into her 'friend bubble', and the Doctor prevents the vocal minority from unboxing the 'big...

We watch "The Zygon Invasion" (Series 9, Episode 7) where the Doctor goes to Press Your Luck, Pennsylvania in order to save the not quite dead as we were lead to believe Osgood from rogue Zygons. Whilst the Doctor is in Joker’s Wild, Wisconsin, Clara gets captured by Zygons who think wearing human masks is stealing their rights, Zygon Bonnie takes Clara's place and says it’s all fake news, plus UN...

We watch "The Woman Who Lived" (Series 9, Episode 6) where the Doctor and Clara re-encounter Ashildr from the prior episode some 800 years later (who would have thought that could coincidentally have happened...) whilst now known as Me. So Now-Known-As-Me has lived a bitter long time. N.K.A.Me holds the Doctor responsible for all the crappy bits of her long life. N.K.A.Me has an evil kitty (I know...

We watch “The Girl Who Died” (Series 9, Episode 5) where the Whonamic Duo of the Doctor and Clara encounter a Viking ancestor of Steve's named Ashildr. Whilst said family reunion is occurring, Norse god Odin shows up proving Disney is no marvel of history, Ashildr dies after ensuring her peoples will live on, and the Doctor rewards Ashildr’s sacrifice with kindly granting her the curse of immortal...

We watch “Before The Flood” (Series 9, Episode 4) where Clara fends off the advances of future/past Ghost Doctor and past Doctor fights off the advances of the Mork-free Fisher King from 1980.

We watch "Under The Lake" (Series 9, Episode 3) where the Doctor and Clara travel to Scotland in the near future and encounter an underwater base in the one lake without an inland sea monster. However this one has inland sea ghosts! Whilst said busting of ghosts is occurring, Star Trek Easter Eggs are hatching, the Doctor travels to the past to see who is laying those eggs, and Clara stays to say...

We watch "The Witch’s Familiar" (Series 9, Episode 2) where, to no one’s surprise, Clara and Missy are still alive and mucking about in the sewers of Skaro with some past-their-prime Daleks all whilst the Doctor is seemingly tricked into giving creator-of-the-Daleks Davros some of his regenergy. Whew. Said that in one breath and am a little light headed. Anywho... the Doctor escapes Davros with th...

We watch "The Magician’s Apprentice" (Series 9, Episode 1) where Clara and the not-quite-dead-as-we-thought Missy face off in contemporary Spain whilst the Doctor parties like it’s 1999 in 12th century England. When the three reunite, they are promptly captured by Colony Sarff, a slither of snakes disguised as a humanoid and employed by Davros. So of course we end up on Skaro where Davros reminds...

We discuss a Doctor Who story requested by somebody in the past (I think): the "Doctor Who" TV Movie/Failed Pilot from 1996 starring canonical eighth Doctor, Paul McGann. Whilst we journey out of our normal timeline for the 4th time, we are joined once again by friend-of-the-show (and canonical spouse of co-host Steve) Heidi. Will there be incredulity at the many plot holes? Will there be mockery...

The episode our fan wait for: Steve and John discuss the latest series of Doctor Who just completed. Said series being the 8th overall but the first for Peter Capaldi so you can expect bantering about his successes (and also some unsuccesses) and how the series landed overall. Plus (depending on what makes the final edit of our... yikes... 2 plus hour discussion) enjoy Steve’s five word summary of...

We watch "Last Christmas" (Series 8, Episode 13) where the Doctor saves Clara (and more!) from a severe case of (dream) crabs with the aid of Father Christmas (Santa Claus to us Yanks). Whilst said saving is occurring, the Doctor and Clara come clean to each other about their last meeting (awkward...), Shona auditions strongly for companion (sorry, Clara’s staying... so very awkward...), and Danny...

We watch "Death in Heaven" (Series 8, Episode 12) where the Doctor learns about Missy's plan (well... you couldn’t still expect to call her the MASTER could you? What with her lady parts and all...), Seb ‘squees’ yet is promptly disintegrated (see ya later Tenant stans), and Clara impersonates the Doctor (all I’m saying is a scarf woulda been nice). Whilst said cosplaying is occurring, the reanima...

We watch "Dark Water" (Series 8, Episode 11) where Danny Pink dies and bargains for his future (?) in the afterlife. Whilst said Life Defending is occurring, grief stricken Clara drags the Doctor on a mission to locate Danny (umm... check the morgue?), the Doctor helps her look for him (umm... check the morgue!), and Missy explains why they just can’t find him (umm... check the morgue... duh). All...

We watch "In the Forest of the Night" (Series 8, Episode 10) where Clara and Danny Pink search for a missing student whilst on a school field trip to downtown London. When the Doctor locates said student Mave... Mabe... Maebh (really?)... the fun really begins! Of course by ‘fun’, I mean scenes taking place in a bizarrely empty London that’s covered in foliage, poorly green-screened wolves, and a...

We watch "Flatline" (Series 8, Episode 9) where the Doctor and Clara travel to exotic (?!?) Bristol, UK. Whilst being punished... whoopsies!... whilst seeing the sights in hilly Bristol, the Doctor phones it in, Clara goes all 'Doctor Donna' and the TARDIS becomes the most delightful handbag accessory. We also get introduced to Rigsy, a graffiti artist who is totally, definitely, absolutely not Ba...

We watch "Mummy on the Orient Express" (Series 8, Episode 8) where the Doctor takes Clara on one last adventure since she’s vowed to Danny that she’s done with time travel. For reals! (Wink) So they hop on the titular space-train loaded with extras from a somewhat less racist Agatha Christie novel. (As if...) Whilst enjoying their 'last hurrah' mysterious deaths occur at regular intervals, the Doc...
