All Of Whine And Space

Young Matthew Smith and his nightie-rockin’ lassie Kazza G are back for a second go around, and a simple act of trying to murder Amy in a ‘space accident’ results in Smithy and Kazza catching sight of the Starship UK - surprisingly suggesting the UK is still an entity in the year 50 bajillion. Before you know it, Matthew Smith is suspiciously befriending lonely children, Kazza G’s covered in whale vomit and there’s something rotten in the state of Denmark, by which I mean the UK.   Does torturing animals make them go faster? There’s only one way to find out!

At long last! It turns out, all it took was a global pandemic to get us to return to the Who re-watch, and finally crack on with the most exciting era there is - that of Young Matthew Smith and Steven Merkin’ Moffat. Join us as we celebrate the tenth anniversary of Smith’s first episode, in our characteristically late fashion - and please excuse a few rough edges on the audio front, we’re isolating in different locations and this is our first ever remote episode, bear with us!

So, it all comes down to this! Or something. Chibbers has been threatening to turn us around and turn off the gas in the series 12 finale - but does he improbably pull it off? Well, let’s just say that Chibnall gonna Chibnall, so it all goes pretty much exactly how you might expect. Ryan throws a ball. Yaz identifies as a sociopath. Graham struggles with hats. Jodie realises that she is a very old alien who can regenerate when injured. Engage!

Those bloody Cybermen have only gone and bloody ascended again! What a pain. But not just a pain for Mrs. Doctor and her squad, it’s also quite an inconvenience for the human race, who have been all but wiped out. Will Graham snd Yaz’s romance  blossom? Will the Doctor apologise for destroying humanity? Will the luck of the Irish endure? Most importantly, when all’s said and done, will we still care?

Ghosts! An army of them? No, just the one - FOR NOW. Old Cheeky Chibnall does us a right old deception as he tells us a spooktacular tale that ends of having more in common with old Frankenstein than we ever would have thought possible. Join Mrs. Doctor, the Fam and a bunch of famous writers who you may or may not recognise for a tale that chills the very soul.

A tall bald gentleman creeps into your room in the middle of the night. He smiles at you, then pops his fingers inside you. This is the stuff that dreams are made of! Have you ever felt alone? Isolated? Set adrift in a harsh uncaring world, feeling like you couldn’t trust anyone or anything? Well, if so - your instincts were correct! Keep these feelings to yourself, bury them deep down and distract yourself with another entirely unrelated episode of TV’s Doctor Who

    The plastics! They’ve got it in for us - and I don’t mean the collection of attractive actresses in the 2004 teen comedy ‘The Meanie Girls’! No, sadly it’s our rampant unceasing rape of the planet that’s coming back to haunt us once again, which is starting to prove to be a bit of a ballache. Fortunately, The Fam are here to help us out, and using a mixture of dissection, recklessness and talking cats, Our Jodie is soon in a position to deliver another to-camera monologue, should she want to. But does she?

Well, that was…different. That was not Vintage Chernobyly. That was more Cheeky Chibbers. Take a pinch of RTD, throw in a serving of Moffat, a few Doctors, an intergalactic sex machine and a judoon platoon arriving not a moment too soon - and baby, you’ve got yourself a stew goin’

Terror!  It’s a curious thing. Makes one man weep, makes another man poop himself. But what does it do in the case of Nikola Tesla’s case? Does it make him rise to greater things? To search for the hero inside himself? Resolve to poison his long-term rival and lover Thomas Edison? There’s only one way to find out - use some of that classic electricity, wi-fi and other sc-fi gubbins to listen to this review!

Holidays!  We all enjoy them, and no-one enjoys them more than the characters of Doctor Who, because they usually involve a load of people dying and, if they’re lucky, probably a conspiracy or two. This particular holiday features all of the above - alongside a selfish octogenarian, a young lady with serious abandonment issues and a surprise guest appearance by musical wunderkind Billie Eilish. Let’s ‘ave it!
