An irreverent monthly podcast in which Jim and Martin review stories from the classic era of the BBC sci-fi series Doctor Who. Currently on semi-hiatus as we concentrate on Blake's 7 in our Mutoid Podcast series but episodes should pop up here every now and then.

So Vila finally gets his moment in the (CSO) sun. And all he has to do to earn it is open an unopenable door and avoid being killed by a Six-maniac. But at least he almost gets the girl. How do you subtly hint to a new acquaintance that they may have personal hygiene issues? What are the practical difficulties posed by invisible legs? Can you reall…

It's time for a spot of piracy for our intrepid and newly-aimless adventurers. And where better to do that than on a deadly planet infested with enormous zeppelin-arsed insects? But who died and made Tarrant Liberator captain? Is Jarvik a complete arse (or merely a buttock)? As Servalan is unqualified to weep at the death of a friend, does laughing…

Newly self-appointed leader, Tarrant, is powerless to stop the Liberator and crew from being sucked into a black hole. Therein they find a place which could be none more black, inhabited by a regency fop, a wild west bank clerk and a wee man with cranial varicose veins. When will Avon teleport Tarrant into deep space? When it comes to equations, wh…

Three wise time travellers journey in search of the darkest of nativities, meeting some lowly creatures and a highly unstable messiah. Harry develops a seafood allergy, Sarah's a fallen woman and the Doctor finds that navigating Skaro can be a bit of a minefield. Why does Sevrin like steamy nightclubs? Where do Davros and Nyder spend their romantic…

Newbies Tarrant and Dayna are on a mission on behalf of their crew to find someone that only they have never met. And to maybe find a suitable place to settle down and electroshock kids. However, Servalan and Not-Travis have other plans, which involve a posh tramp, a dead dog and a parsnip with a face. Is it medieval re-enactment week on the Libera…

After escaping Sarran, Avon and Dayna arrive on the Liberator where they find some squabbling squatters. A young Blake-alike, Mr Bronson's evil twin and some less-than-crack troopers are acting like they own the place so our two rebels have to act as a castaway couple. Meanwhile Vila develops a split personality and Cally meets a familiar and impat…

Series C kicks off with a Tempest of activity (do you see?). Avon gets two snogs, Dayna loses two loved ones and the Sarrans are too primitive to open a hatch. Will Avon really team up with saucy Servalan to rule the galaxy? Who is the random NPC in the dunes? Is there any justification for shaving horses? And do Jim and Martin think the episode hi…

Barbara's penchant for historical re-enactment gets our intrepid time team into a spot of bother down old Mexico way. While she cosplays as a dead bloke, the Doctor and Susan try to dodge a double wedding and Ian has to use his thumb for more than hitchhiking. Will Susan get spiked, Ian skewered and Babs bricked up? Worse still, will the Doctor get…

We finally reach the denouement of Series B but who will get out alive? That keenest of self-promoters, Servalan, is in a flap as her previously moist parts are dry and her melons are freezing. Something's up at Star One where the technicians are more cabbage than kings and the neighbourhood is about to go down the (toilet) pan. Can Blake convince …

Blake and co brave noxious Goth fumes while inspecting every thong they can get their hands on. Warring brothers, their sorceress sister and a jealous jester serve only to complicate matters. Does Goth boast a galactically-renowned wine region? Is Gola any different roaring drunk than roaring sober? What is the average air speed of a flying codpiec…

Freedom City's subtle forms of satisfaction are not for the likes of Blake and co. They have a dipsomaniac doctor to find, a cat fight to create and a chess master to challenge. Meanwhile, Servalan has a plot to hatch and a halfwit to explain it to. At least Travis is relatively armless this week. But can a tin dog really offer sexual satisfaction?…

We're used to looking at a screen and seeing dodgy creatures attacking a pair of plucky adventurers. With Carnival of Monsters, you can watch other folk doing the same thing. It's like Gogglebox with grey aliens. Can a chota peg really solve any behemoth-based problem? How easy is it to drug-mule a set of skeleton keys? How many seconds were spent …
  continue reading
 
Something that looks very much like a trap turns out to be... a trap. Who knew? Answer: Avon and Cally. Is Blake out of his mind or is the Epoch of True Freedom (TM) really being heralded? Who could possibly defeat Le Grand in a staring competition? Will there ever be an adequate excuse for this...? And was the episode a welcome blast from the past…

Avon meets an old enemy while the series returns to an old plot device. The episode, unpredictably called Countdown, throws up some intriguing health and safety issues. How close should you stand to a firing rocket engine? Is it wise to submerge your electronic bracelets? And should you pop your tool into an explosive device? Did Jim and Martin fee…
  continue reading
 
It's a case of unhappy families this time as Travis blackmails Ushton's brother's wayward son into visiting his uncle and his cousin/former squeeze (don't ask). Where did Vila's trust issues go? What occurred back on Exbar between the (variably) youthful Blake and Inga? What the flipping crikey has happened to the Mutoids?! And were Jim and Martin …

The Krynoid PodCast boys welcome you back to the Green Cathedral this Yuletide to offer you perhaps the closest thing to a pantomime that '60s Who gets, The Underwater Menace. What the heck is the Doctor wearing and why? Is the rest of the Atlanteans' male grooming as lax as their eyebrows? How will Polly's groovy new gills go down on the swinging …
  continue reading
 
With friends like Tynus, does Avon really need any enemies? But the entomological artist can be of use to our unemotional anti-hero as those pesky Federation codes won't crack themselves. Throw in a over-lively cadaver, an ancient virus and some outrageous outfits and our regulars are struggling to stay alive and keep a straight face. But did Jim a…

It's time for Servalan to wash that man right out of her short hair but will Travis go quietly? Or will he get all shouty in a courtroom. [You've probably guessed which.] Meanwhile, Blake is down and unsafe on a lively planet with a friendly infestation and Avon is safely up in space, monitoring proceedings with amusement/concern*. [*Delete as appl…

And then there were 6. No spoilers here but a big character who was a bit limited and prone to the odd Breakdown has gone the way of his "woman". But whose fault was it? Who is Ronald Travis? What's that on Servalan's head (and dress come to that)? And did Jim and Martin thrive on Pressure Point or did they crack? Listen to find out! 00:00 Intro an…

In this episode our intrepid but knackered travellers try to find some peace on a remote planet. Needless to say they don't get it but they do get racked, dirty and blow-piped and encounter a puppet, his masters and, worst of all, some white blokes with dreads. But did Jim and Martin find their horizons broadened or was it all too much like hard wo…
