The Ace Doctor Who Podcast

Poets, ghosts, and getting struck by lightning at the moment of greatest convenience: James and Paul tackle The Haunting of Villa Diodati. James would like to apologise generally for not being very with it for this episode, and specifically for forgetting everything he ever read about the Romantics and thinking Lake Geneva was in Italy.

We're back after a hiatus! Paul and James: lockdown edition discuss Can You Hear Me, goat-sucking bats, mental health, and that Dalek patrolling Robin Hood Bay.

A 3-in-1 special as Paul and James discuss Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror, Fugitive of the Judoon, and Praxeus. They have to hurry through, as a Frenchman is due to arrive at Paul's door at any moment.

The boys discuss Orphan 55, cheap package holidays, the value of allegory, and the difficulty of exploring the inner worlds of guest characters when you also have to give three different companions something to do.

Happy New Year! Paul and James chat Resolution [of the Daleks], UNIT vs. Brexit, disagree slightly on the Ryan 'n' Aaron cafe scene, and ponder whether this was the best seasonal Doctor Who special yet

Tim Shaw (sic) returns, the Ux spend thousands of years worshipping a false God, and Graham has a Kelly / Nelly style Dilemma. Plus, Paul gets a special card and James writes a song about the thirteenth doctor's first season

James and Paul review It Takes You Away, and talk Scandi Noir, the actor Kevin Eldon, and whether that frog at the end was the greatest thing ever or an absolute abomination

Fear, superstition, and alien mud monsters: Paul and James review The Witchfinders, hear from a listener in a far-off land, and explain why Alan Cumming was probably a better choice for the role of King James than Jim Davidson

Poor Ryan heads into space only to find a massive warehouse very similar to the one he worked in on earth. James and Paul discuss Kerblam! Corporate satire with a twist: is it now easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism?

James and Paul both think this one is a cracker: hear them eulogise over Demons of the Punjab, as the Doctor and the Scooby Gang head back to 1947 and the Partition of India, as we learn more about Yas' family, and the bits of British history they don't teach you at school

A shiny spaceship, a metal-gobbling alien called Pting, and assorted other nonsense: we review The Tsuangra Conundrum, have a rant about future fashion, and pay tribute to a rather creative Who-related Halloween costume

Spiders! Brutalism! Sheffield! James and Paul discuss the 4th episode of the 11th nu-Who season, introduce a couple of ridiculous new features, and accidentally sing a 90s hit which is at best tangentially related to the episode.

The Tardis heads to Montgomery, Alabama in 1955 and the Doctor and the gang meet Rosa Parkes, Martin Luther King, and a lot of horrible racists from the past - and one from the far future

Crashing spaceships, Moomin Beans and Art Malik in a tent for some reason: James and Paul weigh up Graham in some natty sunglasses, Yas not given an awful lot to do, and the joys of seeing a new TARDIS interior for the first time.

We're back! James and Paul review the first episode of the Chibnall / Whittaker era, disagree wildly about how good it was, and are briefly convinced the Rani's TARDIS is about to materialise in Hathersage.
