Trust Your Doctor: A Doctor Who Podcast

Don’t mind me, just gonna prop open the door so Jo can come back. This week Kiyan and Dylan say goodbye to Jo Grant in her final serial, The Green Death. And even in her final moments Dylan and Kiyan remain divided in their opinion of her. Thanks Jo, you were definitely not a scientist. Continue reading →

Goes great with the Hard Rock Cafe! The topic of discussion this week is Planet of the Daleks. Kiyan and Dylan were… not impressed with it as a resolution to Frontier In Space. But no matter, they still had a good time explaining it. Planet of the Daleks was written by Terry Nation and itContinue reading →

Wait. Did you hear that? It’s telling us that the government knows. This week Kiyan and Dylan stumbled their way through this weeks serial. Did Kiyan mention that he couldn’t think? Well, you know now. The serial covered this week was Frontier in Space, written by Malcolm Hulke and aired in February and March ofContinue reading →

Be.. our.. guest! Be our guest! Put our podcast to the test! In this very special episode of Trust Your Doctor where we read a book, Kiyan and Dylan are joined by Nathan and Brendan from Flight Through Entirety. So I guess the title is a misnomer since we didn’t get all of Flight ThroughContinue reading →

Will there ever be an opportune moment to use that phrase? This week Kiyan and Dylan describe the pretty mediocre serial Carnival of Monsters, which was written by Robert Holmes, a major player in classic who. It aired in January and February of 1973.

No, Susan, I am your grandfather! NOOOOOOO! This week Kiyan and Dylan are visited by some very special people… And they’re late, to boot. It’s very weird, but at least it’s somehow related to The Three Doctors, which featured the return of Patrick Troughton and William Hartnell to the role of the Doctor. The serialContinue reading →

Interesting that dor and taur sound similar but are spelled differently. This week Kiyan and Dylan work towards a new more witty episode…. No totally kidding, they just watched a witty serial. Said witty serial happened to be The Time Monster, written by Robert Sloman (with uncredited additions by Barry Letts), which aired in May andContinue reading →

The Deus Ex Machina of this serial is that it’s not the Master Kiyan and Dylan, while agreeing the serial is good (although to a different degree), somehow like/dislike this serial in different measures.

Seriously, this show has no hard work ever, making it a good idea! This week Kiyan and Dylan finally succeed in integrating all their discussions into the summary of the serial, rather than just shoving it to the end, as usual.

Ambiguity is one of the best/worst/neutral things. In this episode, for the first time in quite a long, long while, Kiyan and Dylan end an episode disagreeing on something. Well actually multiple things over the episode. This, of course, is a product of multiple heated debates over the course of the episode, which should beContinue reading →

Dope: adjective, informal: very good. This week Kiyan and Dylan explain the triumphant return and subsequent loss of the Daleks.

Doctor WhoContinue reading →

It’s the Master’s second evolution: The Subliminal Pun Master. This week Kiyan and Dylan explored demons and witchcraft. Or so they thought until 5 minutes into episode 1, where the Doctor just slapped that thought out of their mind, because magic isn’t real. The topic at hand was The Dæmons, which was written Guy LeopoldContinue reading →

This title is actually in no way related to the serial at all. This week Kiyan and Dylan watched Colony in Space. As usual when presented with a mediocre serial, they end up taking a few tangents throughout the whole episode, seemingly with no regard for sticking to explaining the actual serial. Colony in SpaceContinue reading →

I still can’t accept that that pun was so good. This week Kiyan and Dylan investigate The Claws of Axos. It was written by Bob Baker and David Martin, who would later create the character of K-9. The Claws of Axos aired in March and April of 1971. Doctor Who © The BBC Any otherContinue reading →

Plot twist: The First Doctor returns! (Just kidding!) This week Kiyan and Dylan investigate The Ambassadors of Death, which featured hilariously overpowered villains.

The Ambassadors of Death wasContinue reading →

Divergence is actually a pretty fun word to say. This week Kiyan and Dylan encounter what is probably the darkest ending so far in Doctor Who and the Silurians.
