A TARDIS of One’s Own

We're back in Cardiff this week to recharge the TARDIS. The Doctor, Rose and Jack meet up with Mickey and encounter an old foe in the midst of hatching a scheme that could destroy the entire planet. There's also a lot of relationship drama and Jack continues flirting shamelessly with the Doctor... which made us think it's time to delve into his bi/pan/omnisexuality. *** Please be aware that we can...

The Doctor and Rose find themselves seperated at the height of the London Blitz, where a strange boy in a gas mask is making everyone very uncomfortable by constantly asking for his mummy. This naturally made us think of motherhood, and the societal expectations that come with that. Cause let's face it, when it comes to motherhood, you're judged harshly for whatever choices you make.  *** Please b...

Some really poor decision making happening this week, as the Doctor takes Rose back to 1989 to witness her father's death. She, rightly, apologises for the mayhem that ensues but it made us think about all the times women apologise when they actually have no reason to. So, is it too late now to say sorry? We think it should be.  *** Please be aware that we can be a bit sweary. Soz not soz. We ackn...

We're back! Apologies for the sick leave. This week we're off to the year 500,000 where the human race is a bit behind schedule. What's going on? Turns out when you take control of the narrative, and of people's stories, you can do some serious damage - so that's what we chat about this episode. Featuring discussions about the misuse of Handmaid's Tale comparisons when talking about reprodctive ri...

The TARDIS picks up a weird signal and drops the Doctor and Rose in Utah where a tech billionaire is hoarding knowledge. Pretend to be shocked. Rose is palmed off to an underling who gives her a tour of his workshop that we're fairly sure she didn't ask for, which made us think of all the times we've been told things against our will. That's right, this week we're pondering that old classic, mansp...

Rose's homecoming isn't quite what she imagined, and the moment is well and truly ruined when a spaceship crashes into Big Ben. It's all downhill from there... no, literally, we did not enjoy these episodes. But the whole Slitheen thing did make us wonder about the act of physical conformity, and the different ways the pressure of having to do so impact on people's lives. There are so many ways we...

A visit to Cardiff in 1869 goes awry as the dead go walking and only a woman who can talk with spirits can help. Crack out the ouija board, cause we're taking this opportunity to talk about the double standard between witchcraft and religion. *** Please be aware that we can be a bit sweary. Soz not soz. We acknowledge Māori as tangata whenua of Aotearoa New Zealand, where we record. Our music is b...

We're off to the year 5 billion to witness the destruction of earth. While Rose is not having a good time, we're wondering if the future is, in fact, female and if that's even something feminism aspires to. *** Please be aware that we can be a bit sweary. Soz not soz. We acknowledge Māori as tangata whenua of Aotearoa New Zealand, where we record. Our music is by the amazing Scott Buckley. Find hi...

Welcome to A TARDIS of One's Own! In the premiere episode we explain what we're doing with this pod and then get right into things by discussing Rose, the first episode of the new Who revival, and ask ourselves... what's the deal with the colour pink? *** Please be aware that we can be a bit sweary. Soz not soz. We acknowledge Māori as tangata whenua of Aotearoa New Zealand, where we record. Our m...
