Join the effervescent, irrepressible, unique Joumana as we head off on her very own Charter Flight. As a more recent convert to Who, what will Joumana make of the Second Doctor, or indeed, the writers from the 1980s? We also come bang up-to-date by looking at Jodie’s best moments, and the worst characters from the Ncuti era! Wonderful fun!
A divisive quartet of stories generates strong opinions from magnificent guests, Lucy McCaul and Matt Sawyer. So join us as we explore the worlds, characters, storylines and looks of The Brain of Morbius, Mark of the Rani, Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel and Joy to the World. But which will get the biggest kicking?
Enjoy an extended Charter Flight with the delightful Alex Wilcock! We talk Troughton guest characters, individual episodes from the Graham Williams era, JNT stunt casting, Eccleston performers and Ncuti moments – with surprises and shocks at every turn. And more than a few tangents…
What a joyful journey, as top guests Jon Arnold and Mark Dodyk jump onboard the bus for a whizz around The Mind of Evil, Terminus, Oxygen and The Power of the Doctor. But who or what will be getting the now-famous Nostalgia Tours handshakes? Maybe, this time, it’s not so obvious…
It’s time for another detour! Join Jim Allenby and Eliza Hemming, as we explore the twisted time corridors of Sapphire and Steel, focusing on Adventures One to Three. From an old remote house, to an abandoned railway station, and finally a time-travelling apartment, there’s plenty to discover and enjoy!
What an absolute delight to welcome Andrew F back onto the bus, for his very own Charter Flight. And this time, not only is it personal (VERY personal at times!), but it’s also a Charter Flight with a twist. Because all the categories are based around Mr Jon Pertwee, the Third Doctor. So expect plenty of Venusian aikido, moment of charm, and CSO! Enjoy!
How bumpy will THIS ride be? Well, with Dan Pinn and John Bensalhia onboard, there are bound to be some strong opinions and divided voting, especially when your options are as diverse as Terror of the Autons, Warriors’ Gate, Gridlock and The Husbands of River Song. Let battle commence!
Expect high emotion, brilliant insight, unique takes and some much-needed laughs in-between, as the truly delightful Melvin Peña jumps on the bus.

After a break of 38 years, Dr Tim Rideout and Rod once again get chance to chat all things Who! But who, or what, will be receiving Tim’s handshakes and P45s, and will his love for crime thrillers and gothic literature affect his selection? Some wonderful choices ensue…
Join the wonderful Paul Dunn and Mark Donaldson for a fun-packed tour around The Silurians, The Android Invasion, Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone and Hell Bent. Which will we be rewarding with the most handshakes – the 1970s or the Steven Moffat era? And is that booing I hear….?
The bus is taking a well-earned summer holiday - so we’re off to Federation space with Blake’s 7!

Two newcomers jump on the bus: welcome onboard Eliza Hemming and Daniel Rawnsley! To celebrate, we’re visiting four Doctor Who “classics”: The Hand of Fear, The Awakening, The Christmas Invasion and The Legend of Ruby Sunday / Empire of Death. For whom or what will we have positive words, and will we run out of P45s?
The wonderful David Lancaster returns to the bus, but this time, he’s jumping on a Charter Flight and picking his choices of destination. That is, if the driver agrees! Join us on the trip of a lifetime, visiting all areas of Who from Hartnell to Capaldi and back again. Warning: this episode includes the most random choice yet by a guest….
What makes Jim Allenby’s voice go all squeaky? What does Dan think is over-ambitious? The answers can be found in this week’s Nostalgia Tours, which explores and examines Tomb of the Cybermen, The Stones of Blood, The Runaway Bride and A Christmas Carol. Hilarity ensues…
