The Ace Doctor Who Podcast

Love! Costumes! Space birds! James, Kamal and Paul discuss the sixth episode of Series 14 of Doctor Who, or Season One if you’re going with the new numbering system. We ask all the tough questions, like: is Rogue just a crap Captain Jack?

Kamal, Paul and James tackle two more episodes of the debut Gatwa season, which is shaping up to be one of the finest in Who’s history. Plus James tries to nitpick a little less and Kamal gives us reviews from his eight and fifteen year old kids!

As The Vengaboys once put it: boom, boom, boom, boom, I want you to listen to our Doctor Who podcast. We discuss the return of Moffat, religion, capitalism, cleaning products, and a very moving performance from Ncuti Gatwa in what once would have been described as a "Bottle Episode" before Disney + gave Who infinite money. You can find the Ace Doctor Who Podcast on most social media platforms. @ac...

Who is back and so are we! James, Kamal and Paul are joined by special guest Swinton the cat to discuss the first two episodes of Series 14, if that’s still how we’re counting this thing. We also get an exclusive review from a 9 year old because it’s important to consider the youth. Like our show? Give us a review and a five star rating, it really helps more people find us!

Merry Festivus! The Ace Doctor Who few get their teeth into the first full length appearance of the Fifteenth Doctor and the first appearance full stop of Ruby Sunday.

A special Christmas Eve gift / bonus episode as Kamal and James are joined by friend of the show Ash to discuss the colorised blockbuster treatment of the 1963 First Doctor serial. You’ll notice the sound quality isn’t as good as usual - sorry about that. It’s almost as if the host who is also a professional sound engineer wasn’t available for this one. We’ll be back in a few days to discuss the X...

We review the last of the 60th Anniversary specials, The Giggle, featuring an excellent guest performance from Kraftwerk’s Florian Schneider. We discuss (spoilers, obviously) the first appearance of the 15th Doctor, the return of a character last seen in 1966, and the title sequence to K9 & Company. We’re having such a great time reviving this podcast that we’re not gonna wait til the Christmas sp...

A multi timezone episode this week, as Kamal and Paul (London, lunchline) and James (Nikko, evening) discuss duality, expectations, and what the entire population of Japan thinks of Doctor Who based on the opinion of exactly one person. You can follow us on Instagram now! Our handle is @acedrwho. Please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you like us, it really helps spread the word....

Did you miss us? The Ace Doctor Who Podcast returns with a brand new co-host, Mr Kamal Latif, joining James and Paul for a brand new Who era. This week, we discuss the first 60th Anniversary Special, the return of Tennant, Tate, and Davies, and - yep, we said it - how Doctor Who looks like it might be good again.

We’re back, to discuss the New Year’s Day episode starring Jodi Whittaker as the Doctor and Chris Noth as Sir Kier Starmer. Paul and James discuss Captain Jack, the fam, creeping neo-fascism, and whether trying to become a writer yourself makes you less harsh on Chris Chibnall. We are happy to be back after our latest hiatus. I have photoshopped my new head onto our cover art to celebrate. You can...

Poets, ghosts, and getting struck by lightning at the moment of greatest convenience: James and Paul tackle The Haunting of Villa Diodati. James would like to apologise generally for not being very with it for this episode, and specifically for forgetting everything he ever read about the Romantics and thinking Lake Geneva was in Italy.

We're back after a hiatus! Paul and James: lockdown edition discuss Can You Hear Me, goat-sucking bats, mental health, and that Dalek patrolling Robin Hood Bay.

A 3-in-1 special as Paul and James discuss Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror, Fugitive of the Judoon, and Praxeus. They have to hurry through, as a Frenchman is due to arrive at Paul's door at any moment.

The boys discuss Orphan 55, cheap package holidays, the value of allegory, and the difficulty of exploring the inner worlds of guest characters when you also have to give three different companions something to do.

We're back! Paul and James chat Spyfall 1 & 2, Britbox, the value of pastiche, and how Chibnall must have been saving up all his money in a big Scrooge McDuck style vault because the whole thing looked rather slick.

Happy New Year! Paul and James chat Resolution [of the Daleks], UNIT vs. Brexit, disagree slightly on the Ryan 'n' Aaron cafe scene, and ponder whether this was the best seasonal Doctor Who special yet

Tim Shaw (sic) returns, the Ux spend thousands of years worshipping a false God, and Graham has a Kelly / Nelly style Dilemma. Plus, Paul gets a special card and James writes a song about the thirteenth doctor's first season

James and Paul review It Takes You Away, and talk Scandi Noir, the actor Kevin Eldon, and whether that frog at the end was the greatest thing ever or an absolute abomination

Fear, superstition, and alien mud monsters: Paul and James review The Witchfinders, hear from a listener in a far-off land, and explain why Alan Cumming was probably a better choice for the role of King James than Jim Davidson

Poor Ryan heads into space only to find a massive warehouse very similar to the one he worked in on earth. James and Paul discuss Kerblam! Corporate satire with a twist: is it now easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism?

A shiny spaceship, a metal-gobbling alien called Pting, and assorted other nonsense: we review The Tsuangra Conundrum, have a rant about future fashion, and pay tribute to a rather creative Who-related Halloween costume

Spiders! Brutalism! Sheffield! James and Paul discuss the 4th episode of the 11th nu-Who season, introduce a couple of ridiculous new features, and accidentally sing a 90s hit which is at best tangentially related to the episode.

The Tardis heads to Montgomery, Alabama in 1955 and the Doctor and the gang meet Rosa Parkes, Martin Luther King, and a lot of horrible racists from the past - and one from the far future

Crashing spaceships, Moomin Beans and Art Malik in a tent for some reason: James and Paul weigh up Graham in some natty sunglasses, Yas not given an awful lot to do, and the joys of seeing a new TARDIS interior for the first time.

We're back! James and Paul review the first episode of the Chibnall / Whittaker era, disagree wildly about how good it was, and are briefly convinced the Rani's TARDIS is about to materialise in Hathersage.
