Time Ram becomes relentlessly grandiloquent as we examine 'The Two Doctors' which has now been displaced to star Jodie Whittaker and Paul McGann! This time the boys argue about wigs, get the fear of Flux and wish for hats. Helmets Off, tongues out and don't miss Fuzzy Mist at the end!
*A video version of this episode is available on YouTube*
Time Ram learns what works and what doesn't, as we attempt to translate Peter Capaldi's 'The Woman Who Lived' into the William Hartnell era! Listeners of a nervous disposition may need to turn away as we mix up man-cows with French spies, paint Charles Hawtrey silver and free Susan's ring. It must be the extreme old age...
It's unlimited rice pudding for all, as Time Ram takes Remembrance of the Daleks and smooshes the Twelfth Doctor into it, finding out why creepy schoolgirls are completely invisible to '60s businessmen, and exactly what Dalek Putey's wife thought about his political downfall. Grab your Runcible Spoon and dig in!
Time Ram cracks on with 'Genesis of the Daleks', now starring Jodie Whittaker and the fam! Or most of them. What are Temmosus' parental issues? Who were Davros' design team? Have you met Sevrin's little friend? All this and how to liven up your sex life!
Time Ram gets a bit hot and sweaty as we take Peter Capaldi's 'Empress of Mars'and re-jig for the Colin Baker era! Join us as we explore TV Centre, pod off from Gerry Anderson and try out some man-servant-splaining. All this, plus Macra! Yes, really. Maybe.
Time Ram examines comedy as we take William Hartnell's 'The Romans' and re-imagine it for the David Tennant era. Dressing gowns! Dick pics! Danny Dyer! This story has it all, but don't you find yourself wishing it had more creepy Nimons? Solved! You're welcome.
Time Ram goes back in time as we drag Ncuti Gatwa into Christopher Eccleston's 'Father's Day'. It will all end in tears as we set up Omega Deliveries, Noughties shorthand and the trouble with dial-up! Join us to answer all the vital questions, such as: which Doctor would win in a fight?
Time Ram recommends you listen to episode 81 "The Doctor's Father/Horse" before this one to avoid spoilers! For this who wish to continue, it's time to brave (perhaps) the first Paul McGann season climax as he and Grace take on "The Brain of Morbius". Surely it's time for a song and dance number? Not to mention some extra limbs. Karn will never be the same again.
It's Time Ram, the Doctor Who podcast that gives discontinuity a try, and this episode we turn Madame Vastra's special eye on to 'Deep Breath' but now starring Patrick Troughton! So we must establish who wasn't Polly's boyfriend, what you can achieve with the right hat and how to build London on 25p and a pasty. So is this Australia or what?
Time Ram brings Peter Capaldi's era bang up to date with 1965's 'The Rescue'! And if that doesn't get you excited (which seems unlikely) there's also Benny Hill, dodgy magazines, Barbara's crash mat and time toilets to deal with! Not to mention the final ultimate question: Bennett or Hindle? Yeah. Now you're excited. And you should be!
Time Ram faces what cold be our biggest challenge yet* as we force Patrick Troughton into 'Rogue' - the recent Ncuti Gatwa episode! Featuring Doctor Who's first spin off, Bridgerton Venn-diagrams, Inspector Macra and vibrating sporrans!
*No - that would still be our 5th episode on 'A Good Man Goes to War'. Sheesh.
Time Ram really needs to talk about Styre, as we take Tom Baker's 'The Sontaran Experiment' and thrust it into the David Tennant era! Get more Chameleon as we discover Aldwych, space metal, Tim Roth, heather and Blue Peter. All together now: mickey mickey mickey mickey...
Time Ram gets all giddy as we turn our attention to 1965's 'The Web Planet' and transpose it into the Colin Baker era! Excitement or oxygen deprivation? You decide! Meanwhile, we get to enjoy an Optera soap opera, comfy spacesuits and an excess of Hesperon. Plus what exactly did Richard Martin do to those cameras?
Time Ram shakes the magic 8-ball and finds a Pyramid at the End of the World, but starring Christopher Eccleston instead of Peter Capaldi. But how can this be, when Extremis took place during the Jon Pertwee era? Frankly, we don't know, maybe all will become clear. Meanwhile, there's Rose on steroids, fun marines and secretary general Wigner to enjoy! Plus, we really must have a chat about lab safety protocols.
It’s the end… and the moment hasn’t been prepared for, as Time Ram takes Sylvester McCoy’s final TV story ‘Survival’ and drags it hissing and scratching into the era of Tom Baker. The Master is back, but no-one can recognise him because he’s dressed as a bush! We also take a trip to London’s poshest slum, encounter deadly hand-puppets and reunite with Sarah and Harry.
Time Ram is joined by our special guest, DWM-writer Lisa Gledhill to pick the bones out of 'State of Decay', which has been relocated from the Tom Baker era to Jodie Whittaker. Join us to learn the best name in showbiz, the technology which lasts the longest and the worst cheese ever. Bow ship or arrow ship? Dracula or Zargo? The wasting or... er... nope, no idea.
Christopher Eccleston's first episode 'Rose' was broadcast 20 years ago, but Time Ram takes it back another 30 years to 1975, as we recondition the story and adapt for Tom Baker! It's time to learn about Thora Hird's epic quest for a glass table, the real meaning of Geneva and the only honest man to enter parliament. Join us as we discuss non-specific wars, CSO fringes and Derek Griffiths! *

Time Ram massacres 'The Keeper of Traken', previously a Tom Baker classic, but now taking its rightful home in the William Hartnell era! We re-purpose the Pleasence, Fabio and Mr Pastry and also explore a number of spin-off shows: Cameca - Time Stalker, The Adventures of Captain Maitland and Kassia's Special Sauce. Come on Big Finish, give us a call.
Time Ram has to decide whether to die stupid or stand down, as we review 'The Zygon Invasion/Inversion' which has changed Scotsmen from Peter Capaldi to Sylvester McCoy. In the process, we discover Robert Lindsay, garbled plot points and the Osgood conundrum. Will the quantel paint box cope? Will something very nasty happen to Uxbridge? And how many types of Zygon are there anyway?
Time Ram take time off from watching boxsets to review 'The Doctor's Wife' as made for Paul McGann in the late 1990s! In the process, we observe early wirrns, CGI swirly balls, JNT's desirable office and screaming Bovril. Could we really, finally have caught up with the Doctor's father, Ulysses? One thing's for sure: Time Lords are weird.
