Episode 169: Ambiguity of the Cybermen (Attack of the Cybermen) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re kicking off Season 22 with the fanwank fest that is Attack of the Cybermen, which, let’s be honest, is just a series of checkboxes on a rabid fanboy’s list. Oh, and that fanboy is Ian Levine. Maybe also with Eric Saward, and possibly also Saward’s ex-girlfriend? Sheesh, the authorship of this one is VERY confusing. ANYWAY…! Join us as we discuss how this story does nothing but make us think of far better stories, cyber body positivity, the problems with our new Peri-l monkey (Anthony is SO
Episode 168: ...I Swear to Jesus! (Season 21 Retrospective) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Recorded over six months ago, we finally bring you our Season 21 Retrospective! It’s been a long road – we started Season 21 way back in January 2026, and finally put this out at the end of August 2026. Life events led to a four-month hiatus, and so here we are, finishing up this particular journey. And so we bring you the usual blend of awards, metrics, and questions from our friends on social media that has come to epitomise the end of a season for us! Join us as we recap the season, discussin
Episode 167: Twin Bowl Cut Dilemma (The Twin Dilemma) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s the start of a new era, as we talk about the Sixth Doctor’s rocky debut in The Twin Dilemma. With creepy twins, giant gastropods, and a throttled companion, fandom has consistently rated this story as one of the worst in the history of Doctor Who… but will the Watchers agree with that assessment? Join us as we discuss the creepy clown vibe of the Sixth Doctor, how terrible he is to Peri, his questionable sartorial tastes (and how he really isn’t in a position to criticize Peri), and the que
Episode 166: My First Instinct Was "Beige" (Fifth Doctor Retrospective) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Despite the kicking and screaming (and maybe some crying), the Watchers have finally made it through the Peter Davison era. Once again, we are joined by our 5th Watcher, R. Alan Siler, who might regret getting our opinions for this Doctor era as he definitely has fonder memories of it than we have. Join us as we discuss how we might describe a Doctor’s era through colours, a surprisingly short discussion on the use of the Master (honestly, we thought Reilly would have had much more of a rant tha
Episode 165: An Unending Use of -sat Words (The Caves of Androzani) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s time to say goodbye to the Fifth Doctor as Robert Holmes triumphantly returns to the show with The Caves of Androzani – a story that is so often lauded in fandom as one of the greatest Doctor Who stories OF ALL TIME! But will the Watchers agree? Join us as we discuss the consequences of unbridled oligarchy, the brilliance of the cast of utterly awful characters, how much better the Fifth Doctor is with Robert Holmes’ dialogue, the tendency of disfigurement to turn TV & film characters into
