Trust Your Doctor: A Doctor Who Podcast

And the sequel, Batnipples Forever. And here we see the return of one of the greats of Doctor Who writing. Mostly. The Krotons was a bit of a dud, but hey, it was his first serial. This week Robert Holmes returns to write The Caves of Androzani, aired in March of 1984. Doctor Who ©Continue reading →

War is the future. War is our destiny. This week we get two companion write outs! Two! Although I don’t think Kamelion can really be considered a companion so much as a plot device really. Turlough, on the other hand, one of the most fleshed out characters that’s not The Doctor. It’s Planet of Fire,Continue reading →

When are we getting a serious bear themed episode of Doctor Who? Wow who would have guess that Davros would come back? And who would guess that this serial would basically display genocide? About 6 people made it out of this serial alive. Amazing. It’s Resurrection of the Daleks written by Eric Saward and airedContinue reading →

French fries are potatoes so potatoes have to be good right? A grey quarry. Bland spaceship sets. Poor concept execution. The question is, am I describing Underworld or Frontios? It’s Frontios. Sorry. Frontios was written by Christopher H. Bidmead and aired in January and February of 1984. Doctor Who © The BBC Any other referencesContinue reading →

Ribbit ribbit. Ribbit? Ribbit ribbit ribbit. This week we continue not talking about the serial by talking about Pringles. Did you know Pringles are pretty good? Probably one of the best potato chips. It’s The Awakening, written by Eric Pringle and aired in January of 1984. Doctor Who © The BBC Any other references belongContinue reading →

I’ve thrown out way more interesting garbage. I think, honestly, season 21 burned all of us. No one could have seen this coming. This week we begin the train wreck with Warriors of the Deep, written by Johnny Byrne and aired in January of 1984. Doctor Who © The BBC Any other references belong toContinue reading →

Eating dinner with the napkin of doom makes your meal much more exciting. This week Kiyan and Dylan watch a special that appears between seasons and has already caused undue confusion as to how to place this into the episode index. At least it has to Dylan. Yes, it’s the Children in Need special TheContinue reading →

Only 66 more to go… Who thought that a serial with the Master of all characters could be so horribly boring? THE MASTER! And it didn’t help that Terence Dudley has been consistently declining in quality since his first outing. It’s The King’s Demons, written by Terence Dudley and aired in March of 1983. DoctorContinue reading →

Every planet sends one chef, we decided to send Gordon Ramsey. As we draw nearer to the end of the season, we decide to race some ships in outer space. Additionally, we say goodbye to… the Black Guardian, for now that is. It’s the conclusion of the Black Guardian trilogy with Enlightenment, written by BarbaraContinue reading →

My new carpet is purple and definitely not copyright infringing. This week we once again learn why Dylan went into Physics and not English. It’s garment. Kiyan was right, Dylan was wrong. Dylan regrets his mistake, and apologizes to all the linguists who we have offended with our podcast. In other news, they try andContinue reading →

Liz Shaw was truly the most memorable UNIT member. This week’s throwback to earlier serials comes in the form of The Brigadier Allistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. The one and only, taking over for Ian. Yes, apparently the Brig can teach math? It’s Mawdryn Undead written by Peter Grimwade and aired in February of 1983. Doctor WhoContinue reading →

Only the best snake props in Doctor Who. This week Kiyan and Dylan face a snake from the past. Indiana Jones would have been absolutely terrified. He probably would’t even listen to this episode. He’d just read that first line and leave before even finding out what serial it is. It’s Snakedance, written by ChristopherContinue reading →

Coming soon to a theatre near you! This week Kiyan and Dylan take a nice little vacation. Ha! Just kidding, they sit down at 9 AM on a Friday and record a podcast episode about taking a vacation. Which is sort of the same thing if you squint your eyes and plug your ears. It’sContinue reading →

What the hell is a spleen anyway? One season closer to the end of classic who. Only 7 more to go! Can you believe that we finished 19 seasons? It actually feels pretty weird. Maybe we can take a time trip back to season 1 and start again… It’s Time-Flight, written by Peter Grimwade andContinue reading →

Maybe one day Trust Your Doctor will be a meme. He finally kicked the bucket. He took a dive. Got offed. Put on ice. You feel me? Yes it’s Earthshock, written by Eric Saward and aired in March of 1982. Doctor Who © The BBC Any other references belong to their respective owners, no copyrightContinue reading →

Apparently butterfly = blueberry with wings. This is some high level math. I think our episode where we talk about almost nothing is pretty representative of this week’s serial, where the characters to practically nothing. If you guessed Edge of Destruction, you’re completely wrong, it’s Black Orchid. Written by the ever illustrious Terence Dudley andContinue reading →

It’s all ogre the news. Terileptals take London. This week Kiyan and Dylan visit London. Or have they already done that? Or will they still do that? Is “The Visitation” past tense? Well. Anyway, it’s the Visitation, written by Eric Saward and aired in February of 1982. Doctor Who © The BBC Any other referencesContinue reading →

But there’s still never enough time. This week we kinda liked the serial. Just kinda though, not a lot or anything. Kinda was kinda written by Christopher Bailey and aired in February of 1982. Doctor Who © The BBC Any other references belong to their respective owners, no copyright infringement is intended by this podcast. Continue reading →

It’s like bringing down the house… but… not? This week we swiftly move into the most bizarre misinterpretation of a character on the show so far. And that’s in a show that gave us Edge of Destruction, so you know this has to be ridiculous. It’s Four to Doomsday, written by Terence Dudley and airedContinue reading →

I hope that when the wheelchairs take over they don’t find this. This week Kiyan and Dylan bravely soldier forth without their leading man Tom Baker. There’s this weird scruffy blonde dude now, can’t quite remember his name. Pete probably. It’s Castrovalva, written by Christopher H. Bidmead and aired in January of 1982. Doctor WhoContinue reading →

Jim’s been calling it Trust Your Baker. Unbeknownst to him, that’s our next podcast. We’ll be talking about baking. Yep we’re finally here. It’s been 6 or so weeks (probably, we lost track quite a while ago) since we first announced this, and it’s here. We’ve had a few stumbles along the way, but it’sContinue reading →

Not to be confused with Space Pirates. Hi there. Kiyan here for once (these things are usually written by Dylan). So, like you may already be aware of, the Fourth Doctor retrospective we had planned with Krynoid Podcast has been delayed. I’m almost never sick, so of course I’d come down with fever, cough, andContinue reading →

We’re now courting founds for our Baywatch remake in the vein of Gnomeo and Juliet. This week Kiyan and Dylan take a nice little stroll down into some random village in the middle of the nowhere. They were getting a bit tired of The Doctor’s antics and decided to follow Sarah Jane and K9 forContinue reading →

Mauve is defined as a pale purple. Which means purple is still correct. This week we come to the end of an era. Yes truly, Tom Baker has finally regenerated and Peter Davison has taken on the mantle of the Doctor. It’s Christopher Hamilton Bidmead’s Logopolis, aired in February and March of 1981. Doctor WhoContinue reading →

Just to clarify, we don’t condone murder. This week our greatest villain returns: difficult to pronounce names! Just kidding, it’s the Master. The serial at hand is The Keeper of Traken, written by Johnny Bryne and aired in January and February of 1981. Doctor Who © The BBC Any other references belong to their respectiveContinue reading →
