This time out we talk about the entire "game changing" season 12, well, mostly about "The Timeless Children" but in general, what the season did well and what is screwed up. This is the first part of 2 parts of our discussion. We get critical of the decisions and the direction the show has taken and why 3 companions is too many. Thanks for listening.

OH BOY! So that just happened. The Timeless Children is an episode that certainly made a few people mad but before we discuss that, let's look at the episode itself and see if it is any good. Then we discuss what happened and how and why it all went that way. Feel free to let you know what you thought. Next week we are planning on a season review and we will go into more details on all this I am sure.

The Doctor takes on the Cybermen in the final attempt to save humanity, but is she too late? Probably but another last minute surprise throws us off our chairs again - but in a good way? Maybe. And who is Brendan? Notes Music by PJM25595/Dalekium https://soundcloud.com/pjm25595 Podcast - https://soundcloud.com/user-432517125 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/GallifreyanGazette

We have been on a roll of late, dishing out criticisms toward this season of Doctor Who. We want to like these episodes but they have not been that likable. Will "The Haunting of Villa Diodati" finally break that recent streak? You better believe it!!! Give us a listen and share your thoughts!!

Is an alien life form stealing nightmares from people? You better believe it. Is Doctor Who this season a little too preachy and on the nose with its story telling? Yes! We discuss this episode which has the potential but falls into the usual trap of over explanation and too obvious of a conclusion.

We discuss the ups and downs on this one. Enjoy and let us know your opinions!

Everyone has the favorite and least favorite and for the past couple of months we have looked at our personal best and least favorites. Ken chose Earthshock for his best. Good action and tension highlight the story that features the Cyberman in this 1982 story. We discuss the ups and downs of this one - join us and let us know what you think.

We like Doctor Who. That doesn't mean we like all episodes to the same degree. Some episodes are better than others. And then there is Delta and the Bannermen. In our mini series of best and worst Ken chooses this classic story, even over many horrible new series stories. WOW, this must be real bad for him to do that!!! Still, there has to be something good in this.... right?

Not all Doctor Who episodes can be the best and not all can be the worst. It is very hard to produce an excellent episode but is it easy to make a bad one? Probably. The Horns of Nimon certainly deserves to be right toward the bottom of the pile. Jeff chooses this as one of the worst of the worst but do we agree with him? Listen in to find out.

As part of a series of discussions based on our podcasters' best and worst Doctor Who episodes we look at Jeff's favorite. Doctor Who - The Talons of Weng Chiang debuted in 1977 with Tom Baker as the Doctor. Considered to be a classic by many, does the story hold up after all these years? is it a classic or not? Listen in and find out what we think.

In 2006 one of the best Doctor Who episodes was aired. This is not that episode. "Love & Monsters" is an episode that you either love or hate, mostly hate. Julia picked this episode out as her worst Doctor Who story and while we have full confidence that she will find plenty of Classic stories that she will hate more than this one, "Love and Monsters" is certainly a stinker. But is there some redeeming quality in it? Will we find something good to say about it? Probably not but hey, listen anyway and if you ever agree or disagree with our opinions feel free to comment.
