The Power of the Doctor
“That’s the only sad thing. I want to know what happens next.”
It’s the end of an era and the end of this podcast: time for us to get together on folding chairs in a church hall somewhere with everyone we ever met to talk about our adventures with The Power of the Doctor.
And time for a last farewell. Thank you all.

Legend of the Sea Devils
The Whittaker era is heading towards its inexorable end and dragging this podcast along with it, so it’s time to take a quick penultimate break in nineteenth-century China, where we watch a lot of villagers being killed, a statue breaking open or something, a mysterious sea monster with no apparent plot function, and the non-awaited return of some rubber masks from the 1970s. And, of course, the relationship between the Doctor and Yaz runs into serious fluogeomagnetic issues.
Here’s a link to Brendan’s YouTube series A Walk to Work with Whittaker: his take on this episode will appear some time tomorrow (or today if you’re in a different time zone, I guess).

Eve of the Daleks
It’s New Year’s Eve 2021, the Doctor’s plan to take a holiday on a sentient beach goes horribly wrong, and instead she is forced to participate in a Covid-addled New Year’s Day special. Hilarity ensues. The Doctor’s plan to take a holiday on a sentient beach goes horribly wrong, and instead she is forced to participate in a Covid-addled New Year’s Day special. Hilarity ensues.

The Vanquishers
In a surprising conclusion to this epic tale, the Doctor finds love in the most unexpected of places, Bel struggles with her application to join the Belfast branch of the CWO, Swarm and Azure’s plans to open a nightclub on Atropos go horribly wrong, seven billion of Karvanista’s cousins go to live on a farm in the country, and Yaz and Dan are here too, apparently. Time to farewell the Flux for now: it’s The Vanquishers.
Here’s Brendan’s take on this episode in his YouTube series A Walk to Work with Whittaker.

Survivors of the Flux
This week, Nathan, Simon and Brendan find ourselves racing around both the universe and the world in search of exciting, hilarious and weird things to put into a television episode. And the Doctor’s wicked stepmother wants to have a word with her. Several hundred words, in fact.

Once, Upon Time
This week, we’re lurking in our own timestreams, reliving the moment a few days ago when we first saw Once, Upon Time: Todd keeps checking his watch, Brendan is still annoyed about the whole satsuma thing, James is feeding his tamagochi and rubbing his belly, while Nathan is wondering why the exam he’s turned up to without any pants on is being supervised by Mandip Gill. It’s the sort of thing that only happens Once, Upon Time.

War of the Sontarans
For this chapter of Jodie into Terror, we’re joined by JIT débutant Simon Moore for an enthusiastic appraisal of this week’s Doctor Who episode and an animated discussion of camp villains, well-scripted Doctoresses and the importance of not scheduling everyone’s rest periods at the same time. This isn’t your great-great-great-great-great-grandmother’s Crimean War — it’s War of the Sontarans.

The Halloween Apocalypse
This week, Jodie into Terror makes a triumphant return: Brendan is worried about heartworm, Todd is fumbling with his keys, James is suffering from the terrible side-effects of his psychic survey, Nathan can’t stop showing people around the Sydney Museum of Football Teams Nobody Cares About, and Richard is threatening the existence of every sentient being the universe. Buckle up: it’s Doctor Who: Series 13: Flux: Chapter One: The Halloween Apocalypse.

Revolution of the Daleks
What better way to kick off 2021 than watching Donald Trump and Theresa May unleashing a sexy new breed of Dalek upon the British voting public? It’s a good day for squid, explosions and farewells on Revolution of the Daleks.
Many thanks to Johnny Spandrell for his sudden guest appearance on this episode. You can find all his writings on Doctor Who at Random Whoness.

The Timeless Children
This week, five hitherto unknown incarnations of the Doctor will be strapping you to a chair and shouting at you for half an hour about their fan theories about the origins of the Time Lords. Until you’re willing to admit that — in a very real sense — we are all the Timeless Children.
Brendan’s final Walk to Work with Whittaker for the time being can be found here.

Ascension of the Cybermen
In this week’s episode of Where the hell is Beryl Reid?, a group of five humans facing imminent catastrophe band together to talk nonsense about the latest episode of their favourite TV show. The Cybermen make their traditional end-of-series appearance, of course, and so there’s an outrageous amount of stomping involved, as usual.

The Haunting of Villa Diodati
It’s Wednesday night, so we’re hanging out with some lovely drug-addled literary types and re-enacting all our favourite scenes from Castrovalva, all the while trying to ignore the urgent clanking sounds coming from the downstairs parlour. Welcome to The Haunting of Villa Diodati.
Brendan’s take on this episode can be found on his way home from work for a change, which is nice.

Can You Hear Me?
In this week’s flashcast episode, we spend a cathartic twenty-five minutes talking about all our deepest hopes and fears, but no one is listening because of the fingers stuck in our ears. Question marks at the ready, everyone — it’s Can you hear me?
Brendan dons his best shirt to chat to us about this episode in his most recent episode of A Walk to Work with Whittaker.
You can hear more from the fabulous Adam Richard on his daily podcast Adam Richard Has a Theory, in which he gets to explain his theories about Doctor Who and Star Trek: Picard without Rove McManus spraying him with a water bottle.

Praxeus
This week, Peter is off to Peru to cockblock two travel vloggers, Brendan and Nathan fly to Hong Kong to reunite two estranged lovers, and Todd heads to Madagascar to drag some poor guy out of the water for some reason. And we’re all wearing plastic face masks, of course, so that we don’t come down with Praxeus.

Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror
This week, we head back to the start of the twentieth century to meet a terrifyingly handsome Great Man of History and to see what Grandpa Salateen has been up to since that messy business on Androzani Minor. It’s the best Doctor Who episode title since Rider from Shang-Tu — Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror.

Spyfall, Part Two
This week, we spend most of our time larking around with computer scientists and Nazis, oblivious to the serious moral issues of wiping people’s memories, betraying villains to the Nazis, and using your mum as a hard drive to store all your backup nudes. It’s Spyfall, Part Two.
