Trust Your Doctor: A Doctor Who Podcast

Fun fact: Incursion is spelt with an I. This was originally recorded as part of a potential (but at the time unconfirmed) December/January hiatus. Since then it’s been confirmed that the hiatus will not be necessary. And now it’s being released as a “thanksgiving”  special. If you needed something to be thankful for, you canContinue reading →

How does cloning even work? I don’t understand. Alternate title: Killing is the Most Perfect Form of Distraction. Such is life I suppose. This week Kian and Dylan talk about clone. No, not Orphan Black, it’s The Invisible Enemy, written by Bob Baker and David Martin and aired in October of 1977. Neither of usContinue reading →

I keep my mattress in my fortress but that’s personal preference. This week Kiyan and Dylan are now in 0 A.N.H. (After New Hope). In the coming weeks [it’s unlikely that] they’ll discuss the effects of Star Wars on Doctor who. The serial this week is the first of season 15, The Horror of FangContinue reading →

Weng-Chiang is in violation of the temporal employment act. This week Kiyan and Dylan investigate a mysterious magician in the back alleys of London as they discuss Robert Holmes’ finale to season 14, The Talons of Weng-Chiang. It originally aired in February through April of 1977. Doctor Who © The BBC Any other references belongContinue reading →

Sometimes even accepting isn’t enough. This week Kiyan and Dylan continue their Chris Boucher phase and explore his second serial in a row. That makes him just the second writer to write two consecutive serials, after Ian Stuart Black. The serial this week is The Robots of Death, aired in January and February of 1977.Continue reading →

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier was not the best Star Trek film. This week Kiyan and Dylan boldly go where many people have gone before to discover the Doctor’s new companion, Leela! Not to be confused with other characters named Leela that are famous in other franchises. How confusing. The serial of introduction is The FaceContinue reading →

“You’re all just puppets in my political game” – Chancellor “Ultron” Goth. This week we learn that Dylan doesn’t know the difference between commissioned and decommissioned. To be fair, flammable and inflammable mean the same thing, so… honest mistake. Anyway, the serial at hand for Kiyan and Dylan this week is The Deadly Assassin, written byContinue...

Wow, a lot looks really weird in that title. This week Kiyan and Dylan discuss hands. Like all sorts of hands. Human hands, Kastrian Hands, Sarah Jane’s Hands. Why Sarah Jane’s in particular? Because it’s her final serial, The Hand of Fear, written by Bob Baker and David Martin and aired in October of 1976.Continue reading →

All hail the mighty Davros. I think. This week Kiyan and Dylan accidentally shoe-horn Davros into a non-Dalek serial. Actually, Dylan won’t lie, he chose this title for the sweet, sweet SEO. This week the non-Dalek serial that they covered was The Masque of Mandragora, written by Lewis Marks and aired in September of 1976. DoctorContinue reading →

Beeeeep boop boop  beeeep. Disclaimer, what we said about John Leven is based only on stories we’ve seen or read on the internet. They can be faked. Do not necessarily believe everything you hear, it’s possible we (or they) were (and are) wrong. This week Kiyan and Dylan…. release late, and then silently swear atContinue reading →

They say Steven Moffat is a big contributor to Now That’s What I Call Doctor Who: Greatest Hits Revisted 3. This week Kiyan and Dylan explain their way through The Brain of Morbius, and successfully avoid accidentally joining a cult. The Brain of Morbius was written by Robert Bland (Terrance Dicks and Robert Holmes), andContinue reading →

So I called up the Doctor. “Please bring me my time.” He said “I couldn’t get there since 1969.” And still Sarah is calling from far away. Wake you up in the middle of the fight, Just to hear her say… Help me fight this Android Invasion! By Terry Nation (By Terry Nation) The TerryContinue reading →

The colors! They burn! This week Kiyan and Dylan make up a new term (biobabble), sort of explore a serial from Doctor Who, and indicate that Kiyan is half asleep. It’s been quite a week. The serial sort of covered this week is Pyramids of Mars, which was written by Stephen Harris (in reality RobertContinue reading →

There were little scarf bits everywhere. It was a disaster to clean. This week Kiyan and Dylan put forward their life’s work in harnessing the power of podcasting. They successfully harness pure podcast ether to create this episode about Planet of Evil, which was written by Louis Marks and aired in September and October ofContinue reading →

And then like magic, it works! Guaranteed, every time. This week Kiyan and Dylan return to their regularly scheduled host set-up with just the two of them attempting to explain a serial once again. This week the serial at hand is Terror of the Zygons, which was written by Robert Banks Stewart and aired inContinue reading →

Yes, it’s another collaboration. You’ve heard Kiyan and Dylan, you’ve heard Jim and Martin (maybe), now hear them together in all of their glory! Listen in and find out if the crossover is as exciting as that previous sentence makes it out to be. I don’t see why it wouldn’t be that exciting. Together the fourContinue reading →

Son Screen’s sun screen is on screen sun screen. This week Kiyan and Dylan explore one of the juggernauts of classic Doctor Who (See what I did there? The Juggernauts is an audio drama featuring Davros, the Daleks, and the Mechonoids [from The Chase]). If the previous sentence didn’t give it away, this week theContinue reading →

See, there’s a very fine line between dead… and almost dead. In this episode, Kiyan and Dylan take about 30 minutes to cover about 50 minutes of serial content, giving them approximately a 3:5 time compression rate or something. Dylan has an honorary degree in technobabble and he approves this completely made up measurement. TheContinue reading →

The guards just hang out in space. This week Kiyan and Dylan venture into what is supposedly one of the best classic who stories and then create what is supposedly our most recent episode. I’m not actually sure if it is, I mean, it will be until Episode 80 comes out. Anyway this week theyContinue reading →

Interspaced into interpretive intermissions? This week Kiyan and Dylan… take a few jabs at Pertwee (who hasn’t quite left us yet apparently) and the move forward into Tom Baker’s era with Robot. Robot was written by the previous script editor, Terrance Dicks, and was aired in December of 1974 and January of 1975. Find theContinue reading →

This revelation changed Monster of Peladon for me. This week Kiyan and Dylan wrap up the Third Doctor’s era with the final serial of his era, Planet of the Spiders. This episode features the Trust Your Doctor exclusive Pertwee Retrospective, so stick around to the end to listen to Kiyan and Dylan discuss his eraContinue reading →

It’s like a free pass, but not really because it kind of doesn’t exist. This week Kiyan and Dylan approach the end of the Third Doctor’s era, and for some reason he decides (somewhat poorly) to revisit Peladon. It’s not a very good serial, as you will find out soon enough. On the bright side,Continue reading →

Syndrome was a pretty good villain. Oh wait we’re talking Daleks. This week Kiyan and Dylan begin the end of the beginning eras of Doctor Who. If that makes sense. Well basically they’re coming to the end of the Third Doctor’s era, and it’s pretty clearly running down. Terrance Dicks, Barry Letts, and Jon PertweeContinue reading →

And then it’s making life not exist anymore! This week Kiyan and Dylan dive into Malcolm Hulke’s final serial, Invasion of the Dinosaurs. To their pleasant surprise, this weeks serial featured quite a fair bit of character development for the UNIT crew, with Benton, Yates, and The Brig all getting some time in the spotlight. Continue reading →

Still better than a low heptane fight. This week Kiyan and Dylan check in a new person to the Companion Hotel: Sarah Jane Smith. She’s booked a long stay, let’s see how it goes.
