Nostalgia Tours

Welcome to bus newcomers, Mark Harrison and Harry Palmer, as they take on the unenviable task of assessing and evaluating An Unearthly Child, Meglos, Dark Water/Death In Heaven and The Giggle. Which story should be worshipped and adored, and which should be chucked out of an aeroplane?

We’re back to Charter Flights, and this time around, our very special guest is the magnificent Dylan Rees. But will Dylan, and his suggested handshake recipients, prove to be ‘Too Hot’ for this podcast? It’s very possible, as we explore the multi-media worlds of unlicensed and licensed Doctor Who adventures and spin-offs: but which will come out as victors?

We’re back to picking the highlights and lowlights of three Doctor Who seasons - and this time, we have Season 13 (Tom), the David Tennant Christmas Specials, and Season 21 (Davison). What will my magnificent guests, Dan Pinn and Jason Thompson, make of these? And listen out for what is undoubtedly, the maddest, craziest handshake suggestion in the history of the podcast!

Four very different and divisive Doctor Who stories to explore this week - Galaxy 4, The Ultimate Foe, Heaven Sent and The Haunting of Villa Diodati. But what will my guests, Jeff Goddard and Luke Molloy, make of them? And more importantly, will the two of them ever be able to agree on anything? Huge laughs and impassioned opinions!

It’s season overview time once again, and this week, we’re really struggling to find P45 nominations for Season 16, Flux, and Season 24. And quite right too! But the magnificent combination of Si Hart and Luke Sims-Jenkins give it their very best shot - even though some of their suggestions are the maddest ever heard on the bus! Huge fun!

It’s the third of our Seventh Doctor specific episodes, and this time, we’re heading back to the early days of Big Finish, to explore The Fearmonger and Night Thoughts. So join David Gillespie-Pratt and Dan Hollingsworth, as we talk all things Sylvester and Sophie, politics, innuendo, audio dramas old and new, and lots more!

Back to traditional Nostalgia Tours this week, with four stories being put under the spotlight - Carnival of Monsters, Attack of the Cybermen, Flatline and Demons of the Punjab. Join the magnificent Alex Wilcock and Gavin, as we work through these, deciding what works well, and maybe, what’s less successful. A truly delightful trip around four eras of Who!

It’s the second of our Seventh Heaven strand, focusing exclusively on the Sylvester Doctor! This time around, join the wonderful Dan Pinn and Andrew F, as dig deep into the 1988 classic Silver Nemesis, and the BBC book, Illegal Alien. So Cybermen, Nazis, Lady Peinforte, Mrs Remington, the Limehouse Lurker and CyberBabies - what’s not to love?

Two new ticket holders clamber onboard the bus, to find the best and worst bits of Season 2 (Hartnell), Series 2 (Tennant) and Season 15 (Tom). So join the glorious Mark Cockram and Iain Martin for a truly fun episode, full of lively debate, hearty disagreements, and some frankly baffling suggestions…

It’s time for another new strand of Nostalgia Tours, as we focus in on the Sylvester McCoy years. Whether it’s TV stories, audios, comics, novelisations or original fiction, if it’s Seventh Doctor, we’re in! And to kick us off, we’ve got the incredible team of Jim Allenby, Luke Sims-Jenkins and Paul Dunn, looking at all things Delta and the Bannermen! Here’s to the future!

With the superb Dan Hollingsworth and Mike Honour onboard the bus, you know it’s going to be a crazy old ride, full of twists and turns, rants and cheers. So who - or what - will they propose for their handshakes and P45s for Series 1 (Eccleston), Season 23 (Trial) and Series 7 (Matt).. and who or what will eventually win out? A joy-filled episode!

Join the very lovely Dan Pinn and Jon Arnold as we explore the Earth-based worlds of The Daemons, Robot, The Angels Take Manhattan and The Woman Who Lived. Will warm nostalgic memories influence our decisions? Or will we be won over by more recent stories? There’s only one way to find out…

It’s our sixth look at the highlights and lowlights of Doctor Who seasons, and this time around, it’s Season 12 (Tom), the Fourteenth Doctor specials (all three of them!), and Season 19 (Davison). And helping me sort the wheat from the chaff, is the wonderful team of Joumana Medlej and Mark Stockley - what joys (and poop!) will we uncover?

Join the lovely Si Hart and Mark Dodyk as we consider the highlights (and lowlights) of The Chase, The Invisible Enemy, Let’s Kill Hitler and The Tsuranga Conundrum. Plus, there’s a first here, as one guest is unable to identify ANYONE for a handshake in one of the categories! But what’s proving so unremarkable? Tune in and find out!

It’s the return of the quiz, and once again, Nostalgia Tours takes on the What’s In the Box podcast, in a bitter fight to the end! Representing Nostalgia Tours this time around is Dan Hollingsworth (Team Captain), Mark Stockley and Andrew F, whilst on the What’s In the Box side, we have Jim Allenby (Team Captain), Jeff Goddard and Dave Rennie. Who shall return victorious? Find out!

You may find some very polarised views here, as the brilliant team of Jim Allenby and ArtfullyLiam take on The Keys of Marinus, Terror of the Zygons, The Caretaker and The Interstellar Song Contest. Will one story be receiving all the handshakes? Or can we share the love around? And which will be vying for the greatest number of P45s? Find out!

It’s the third trip to Federation space, this time with Blake’s 7 expert, the lovely Pete Lambert, and the equally lovely but relative newcomer to the show, Andrew F. So what will we make of Breakdown, Shadow, Terminal and Animals? Will the generally beloved stories hold up? And can we find good in those episodes that are not as well-regarded? Find out!

We’ve clearly hit a bump in the road, because we’ve drawn Series 9 (Capaldi), Season 5 (Troughton) and Series 11 (Jodie), and now we have to find handshakes and P45s for each! What a challenge! But my fabulous guests, Matt Sawyer and Grant Smith, are more than able to rise to the challenge. Surprising choices ahoy!

Join Nostalgia Tours veteran Paul Dunn and bus newbie Mike Honour, as we take a trip back to The Space Museum, Castrovalva, The Impossible Planet / The Satan Pit and Asylum of the Daleks! What will persuade Paul towards Satan? What does Mike think of a bland and wet twink? Find out here!

Controversial selections ahead! Join the wonderful team of Mark Donaldson and Ben Verth, as we suggest handshakes and P45s for Series 8 (Capaldi), Season 8 (Pertwee) and the Matt Smith specials (Christmas and Day of the Doctor). You’ll never look at these years in the same way again afterwards…

It’s classics ahoy - but are they really as good as their reputation? Join Lucy McCaul and Matt Sawyer as we assess the relative pluses (and minuses!) of The Ambassadors of Death, Genesis of the Daleks, The Waters of Mars and Arachnids in the UK! Who will be getting the most love out of General Carrington, Davros, The Flood and Jack Robertson?

We've got three randomly selected seasons of Who, and some handshakes and P45s to hand out… but what will be heading where? Find out as Jim Allenby and Jeff Goddard dissect, rate, rank and assess Series 6 (Matt Smith), Season 11 (Jon Pertwee) and Series 1/40 (Ncuti Gatwa). Expect plenty of divided opinions!

It’s the last in the current batch of Charter Flights, so welcome Dan Hollingsworth onboard, as he makes his choices for handshakes and P45s from five specially selected categories. So join us for discussions about 60s Who, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Ncuti Gatwa and comedy in Who. Plus, plenty of crazy tangents and silly nonsense!

Two newcomers jump onboard the bus for a trip of a lifetime! Join Dave Rennie and Mark Stockley, as we pass out the handshakes and P45s to Marco Polo, Timelash, Fear Her and Empress of Mars! Will there be any positives here? Or at least any that don’t include the phrase “Central Asia”?

We’re back to picking handshakes and P45s for three randomly selected seasons of Who. So join David Gillespie-Pratt and Andrew F, as we take a long, hard look at Season 25 (McCoy), Series 12 (Whittaker) and Season 6 (Troughton). Who’s getting the love, and who’s getting the kicking?
