Krynoid PodCast

After escaping the hullabaloo of Hollywood, normal service resumes for our intrepid adventurers. And that means a sticky wicket, a volcanic rendezvous, a lasered lock, Egyptian escapades and an advanced case of premature ageing. What's so special about the Doctor's ring? What nationality did Mavic Chen put on his passport? Was his magic act any good? And did the DMP flick Jim and Martin's switch o...

The nightmare begins... in episode 7 of The Daleks' Master Plan. But before that Christmas Day calamity, there's the first half of an epic saga of planet-hopping, fire-resistant plants, black-clad slapheads and table-thumping weirdos. And fear not, the lads will soon serve up the exciting concluding part. In the meantime... When is a companion not a companion? When is a comedy not a comedy? Is it...

The name's Bond... Space Bond. Who needs the Doctor and co when you have Her Majesty's Space Security Service's best man on the job? Turns out he and his meagre team do as they fight in vain against collaborative Daleks and their perambulating pet cacti. How kind are Daleks to their plants? Will they treat a galactic Christmas tree just as well? Are Martin's theories on Pluto really worth listenin...

Kamelion reminds us all that he still exists and causes an eruption of trouble for the Doctor and Turlough. They must confront an alien marital aid, a sneaky stepdad and a livid waiter on Earth. And Sarn is no better, accommodating as it does a guy-linered zealot, a boy band leader and more lava than a 1960s lamp retailer. Chuck in a reappearance from the Doctor's psychotic old school chum and we...

The newly Susan-free TARDIS lands on Dido (but, alas, too late to prevent her musical career from happening). There they find a distressed Susan-alike, her grumpy companion and the sinister Koquillion, who is spiky both in physiognomy and personality. Can our intrepid travellers discover Bennett's secret? Will Babs murder any more of Vicki's pets? How will the Doctor survive without having the wor...

After a series of scrapes with mercury vapour, a robot and a food machine, things get even worse for the Doctor and Jamie. They fetch up on the latest base-under-insane-leadership and meet some old enemies and a smart-arsed new friend. Are three digits really better than five? Brother, can you spare a Bernalium rod (for a hungry cybermat)? Could you identify a Hercules Cluster in a blindfolded sme...

Three wise time travellers journey in search of the darkest of nativities, meeting some lowly creatures and a highly unstable messiah. Harry develops a seafood allergy, Sarah's a fallen woman and the Doctor finds that navigating Skaro can be a bit of a minefield.  Why does Sevrin like steamy nightclubs? Where do Davros and Nyder spend their romantic getaways? Which part of a Dalek's intestines is...

Barbara's penchant for historical re-enactment gets our intrepid time team into a spot of bother down old Mexico way. While she cosplays as a dead bloke, the Doctor and Susan try to dodge a double wedding and Ian has to use his thumb for more than hitchhiking.  Will Susan get spiked, Ian skewered and Babs bricked up? Worse still, will the Doctor get hitched? Will Tlotoxl change his name by Deed Po...

We're used to looking at a screen and seeing dodgy creatures attacking a pair of plucky adventurers. With Carnival of Monsters , you can watch other folk doing the same thing. It's like Gogglebox with grey aliens. Can a chota peg really solve any behemoth-based problem? How easy is it to drug-mule a set of skeleton keys? How many seconds were spent making the Functionary masks and how much change...

The Krynoid PodCast boys welcome you back to the Green Cathedral this Yuletide to offer you perhaps the closest thing to a pantomime that '60s Who gets, The Underwater Menace . What the heck is the Doctor wearing and why? Is the rest of the Atlanteans' male grooming as lax as their eyebrows? How will Polly's groovy new gills go down on the swinging King's Road? And did this soggy saga float Jim an...

We return to Who with a tale of secret enemies, ostentatious acting and stentorian asides. Will the Keeper ever escape his shower cubicle? Will aubergines ever replace Rice Krispies? Will Tom Baker ever wipe his nose? And will The Keeper of Traken give Jim and Martin a new lease of life or leave them calcified? Listen to find out!  00:00 Intro and context 04:56 A walkthrough of the story 1:22:06 A...

Jim and Martin spring a festive surprise with some new Krynoid PodCast material! They scan the snowless Snowdonian slopes for monstrous myths and find the Doctor giving an old friend a bell, Victoria repeating herself and Jamie threatening everyone with a bagpipe recital. But did The Abominable Snowmen thaw their cockles or do they give it the cold shoulder. Listen to find out!  00:00 Intro and co...

Jim and Martin are returning to podcasting... with a surprising plot twist. Listen here or on Spotify .

An announcement on the future of the Krynoid PodCast.

So it's time to go home for Andy Pandy fangirl, Sarah Jane Smith. And there's a hand pulling the strings in this show too, giving tupperware a bad name and Professor Watson a bad day at the power plant. Handily, crystalline cosmic crook Eldrad can reform herself from her moribund mitt and then she herself suffers from a wandering hand from her leading man. For a change, we leave a quarry to land o...

Welcome to The Fun Factory: trespassers will be self-prosecuted. The Valeyard ( aka  The Flaw Doctor) makes the most of a unique Time Lord feature and gives his own SJW predecessor a right legal leathering on Space Station SFX. But they still find time for trips to Camber Quicksands and Popplewick's House of Exploding Quills, where the waiting room is spacious but gives you that sinking feeling. T...

You may think life can't get much worse at the moment but locked-down Brexity Britain looks positively idyllic compared to Blighty under the rubber skirt of Dalek rule. This septic isle is overrun with motorised dustbins, headphone-wearing dullards who've really let themselves go and the most unrealistic pet since K9. The Doctor falls on his coccyx, Susan falls in love, Ian falls out of a door and...

What could be more fun at Christmas than a Punch and Judy show? Almost anything, of course, but perhaps even puppety domestic violence is preferable to mental subservience to an ancient evil. This is the lot of tetchy Tegan, who's red in tooth and eye again, but at least she gets to spread the hate with an embryonic Doc Martin this time around. Nyssa cosplays a deckchair and the Doctor indulges in...

When is a talkative chair not a talkative chair? When it's an alien shower curtain. Or a stumpy git in a pith helmet. But, underwhelming as they are, the Vardans still plan an Invasion of Time by conquering pound-shop Gallifrey – a land of medicinal jelly beans, powerful ping pong balls and walnut-chomping dropouts. Its denizens include Chancellor Borusa who's more put-upon than Tom Baker's beer m...

Scream if you want to leave faster! That seems to be Victoria's tactic as she sobs, whimpers and shrieks her way out of the show in Fury From The Deep . Indeed, old Leather Lungs' prodigious output is harnessed to harass some killer kelp and make its human puppets less weedy – even beating the expert man-mismanager John Robson for decibels in the process. Jamie opts out of a foam party and, for a...

A museum? On a planet, you say? Amazingly, that's just where TARDIS brings Doctor Who and chums in The Space Museum . But the problems here are worse than an expensive gift shop, a blocked urinal or a coach party of feral school kids. For the planet Xeros is occupied by the moaning Morocks, a race only slightly less pathetic than the indigenous teenage beatniks, among whom subjugation raises barel...

A bit of holiday advice from the Green Cathedral: better a staycation in Blighty than a sojourn on Uxarieus, a planet more miserable than Raymond Cusick at a Dalek memorabilia auction. But this monochrome blob of clay is surprisingly sought after, with hairy hippies and corporate breadheads alike fighting to the death over it. And perhaps the indigenous residents might even feel they have a claim...

As travel restrictions relax, maybe it's time to give Cully's Adventures Unlimited a whirl? His ship's a bit of a squeeze but the elderly Lothario can secretly sail you to the enticing Island of Death with its distinctive countryside, prestigious museum and friendly fellow tourists, The Dominators . Their Quarks are as cheesy as they sound – and they sound ridiculous. Nevertheless they're more tha...

Many of you may still be locked up with your family but, with any luck, your house-mates don't include a glowing alien skull, a gun-toting Teuton and a creepy occultist. Even Benylin Bandersnatch's mum would be of little comfort, haunted as she is by a noisy, slimy creature (named Adam Colby). The TARDIS team come to the rescue but K9's lost his voice, Leela's lost some of her hair and the Doctor'...

Feeling trapped in your home with limited entertainment and an uncertain world outside? Well maybe you can sympathise with the residents of Paradise Towers – a horrible high-rise housing low-rent war machines, an apparently tin Hitler, omnivorous OAPs and TV's most amateur and least dramatic junior AmDram group. The Doctor wants answers, Mel wants a dip and Kroagnon wants a mass eviction order. Fa...
