New episode! Let’s take a trip back to the 1940s for Secret Army. In this week’s episode of “No! It’s Not Doctor Who” @sihart.bsky.social joins me to explore what he loves about this somewhat overlooked classic piece of BBC drama podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/n...

Share a great female villain

Much longer than I remembered, this one sagged a bit in the middle, but the final act hit the accelerator. The relationship between Edgar and Wiseman is beautiful, and the setting is captured wonderfully. 7/10

Finish Big is back to the Main Range! Deborah Watling, Jennie Linden, Caroline (N)orris, technobabble, sub-Galyari, Confidential…so much to talk about! Catch-1782, Three’s a Crowd & Unregenerate! youtu.be/X7QdXwGqTUs?...

On the brand new podcast the T1 hosts and guests look back over the last year in Doctor Who… Welcome to the Trap One Annual 2025 - Vol. 1 Apple Podcasts: tinyurl.com/38jfjhd6 Spotify: tinyurl.com/2bj84379 Podbean: tinyurl.com/mtzzb2dk

Island of Terror (1966) A riveting set up, with Cushing as a Doctor, and a mysterious body, but it starts to fall apart when the reason for the happenings appears 🙈 the science seen in this is bobbins (the solution 🙈) and the scientist was reckless beyond belief! Toni is perils of Pauline. 6/10

The Dam Busters (1955) Todd is a very charismatic and thoughtful lead, you are sad for the dog too 😪 fantastic model shots and a gripping story about trying to accomplish breaking the dam. Wallis has to put up with some right negative ninnies. V stirring main theme. Ingenius sols they found. 9/10

Merry Christmas folks! Hope you're all having a ball! 🎄😎👍

‼️ OUT NOW‼️ It’s the Nostalgia Tours Xmas Special, as @frakturedboy.bsky.social, @jeffgoddard.bsky.social & @melvinpena.bsky.social look at K9 & Co, Unquiet Dead, Dr/Widow/Wardrobe, Dr Mysterio & Church on Ruby Road! Fast & fun, full of good cheer & Xmas treats! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/n...

Labyrinth (1986) Henson's puppets were incredible, the detail on them. Connelly hasn't aged. 80s kids films were just a different breed of fantasy/disturbing. Bowies tight pants 👀 Castrovalva on the wall! She'll have to tidy her room after that ending 😂 'come in and meet the wife' 😂 ffriieenddd 8/10

There’s a rare and revealing interview with the hugely talented Jacqueline Rayner on the Hamster Book Club episode where she talks about her extensive Doctor Who career…and how she wrote the bestselling Doctor Who book of all time… podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

Pre Christmas adventure, haven't seen Labyrinth for years

And we’re back! @theiainmartin.bsky.social and @markcockram.bsky.social welcome @felixfrazer.bsky.social and @docoho44.bsky.social for a lively chat about the Troughton era and the 1960s. #DoctorWho podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

Why am I just a bit concerned about this Whovians? 🧐

Genuinely the only Christmas thing I've watched in the last week 😂

Oh yes! #DoctorWho

This is a gorgeous movie. The best Tegan has ever been portrayed, her banter with Turlough and her one liners 😂 Nyssas grief is heartbreaking. Turlough gets out the uniform, yay! The exotic richness of this tale is intoxicating. The soundscape magnificent. Colonel slapping them! 😳 #MiniKettle

Moffat ends on a high note which makes sense because his whole era is by and large that same note

Welcome to the Hamster Book Club - the Doctor Who Book Podcast! Debate, laughter, friendship, insight…we love Doctor Who books and we hope you do too! With artwork from @devondan.bsky.social & a new theme by @jameslark.bsky.social Like & Subscribe ❤️ podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

+++ANOTHER ONE???+++ (My "pod-slag-ing" continues)

Coming Soon 🎄 (With @dhollingsworth.bsky.social)... #AKettleandSomeString #DoctorWho #WorldEnoughandTimeTheDoctorFalls

Mark Bonnar was made our first ever honorary president, in our 80th anniversary year! 🎭

Like a lot of Moffat/Capaldi Who it feels cruel, snarky & slightly irritating! (every time Moffat has a character say Dr Who, a fan spontaneously combusts!) It's a horrible way to treat a companion. The 2 Masters are good, John Simm gives his best performance as does Matt Lucas in the Doctor Falls

The smartest take on the Cybermen since their debut, playing first into the body horror that’s never quite been to the fore and then as the personification of the dark side of of the human impulse for survival.

I haven't watched and I don't want to

Nonsensical codswallop. The Two Masters is a great idea. The redesign of the Mondasian Cybermen manages to miss the mark entirely. The time dilation stuff is massively inconsistent (and wrong). Once again Moffat has to kill a companion and then resurrect them, this time in the most horrific way.

Rather than that Tennant era Cyberman story giving kudos in its credits to Spare Parts, I think this one - particularly the first part - owed a much bigger debt to the audio story, yet didn't include a mention in the credits!

From the minute Missy steps out of the TARDIS the tone is all over the place. The Cybermen are just cannon fodder, not really a plot for them. Goes for spectacle over story and is bloated. This makes Bill's fate feel lost and flat. John Simm does an excellent performance in the prosthetics though.

🎙RECORDING TONIGHT 🎙 @dhollingsworth.bsky.social and I will be looking at the 2017 blockbuster season finale World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls. What are everyone's thoughts on this one? We'll read them out! 😁 #AKettleandSomeString

Alien (1979) is still a thrilling haunted house in space story, full of memorable moments and disturbing design. Love the grimyness of this future, where corporations still screw you over. The 2nd half is relentless chills, but the first is a bit too slow. Alien bouncing off the ship = delete. 9/10

⏰World Enough and Time / The Doctor Falls ⏰Viewers / readers / listeners comments required for Monday evening's 'A Kettle and Some String' podcast recording with @haemovoresrus.bsky.social and me please! (Yes, podcasters don't have Christmas holidays) ❄️

Starting on Monday. Whatever we’re talking about, I regret to say “No! It’s not Doctor Who” On my new podcast series my friends come and share their love for something else entirely! Four episodes ready to go and hopefully more to come. Red Dwarf Secret Army Prisoner Buffy the Vampire Slayer

This week Jeff and I attempt to split ourselves into three to watch the Flux finale...Is this the Jodiest Jodie episode of them all? Do the wheels really come off? And how will the story fare in our season ranking? @jeffgoddard.bsky.social anchor.fm/drwho-whats-...

Be scared - the contentious trio come together. Once, @toohot4tv.bsky.social declared this the worst Doctor Who story of all time! Luke LOVES it! And now Joe can see some cracks. Bring on the debate! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

Waterhouse is a wonderful narrator and injects Adric with real pathos as he reflects on 'his Doctor'. This fantasy tale is rather fun, with a horse being 'X' 😂 windmills on the loose is a rather bizarre image. Poignant ending. Dragons are real aren't they? #MiniKettle

Helllo Everyone! Get ready to be mad, because Rassilon changed the sheet music! Mr Rob Irwin from @thedwshow.net joins me to talk all about the Five Doctors Special Edition. #DoctorWho

Despite the slow pace, the lack of incident and the bad special effects, it celebrates the love and friendship between weird and grumpy old men who have annoyed one another for decades. And if you’ve got that, who needs Sha Ka Ree? #StarTrek #StarTrekV untitledstartrekproject.com/176

I still have space for one of your molars or insisors, which I'll take, if you don't listen to @garethbowley.bsky.social and Dave discussing my story, #TheWomanWhoFelltoEarth, on the latest episode of #AKettleandSomeString out now. I hope you brush.. open.spotify.com/episode/4Jc4... #DoctorWho

Very Lovecraftian, this was a runaround with fancy 🔑. The music was rather plodding too. Lovely to hear Ace have a caring side with Doveday (whose struggle is well played) but her reaction at the end was Aldred at her worst. I didn't remember this one, and I suspect I'll forget it again. #MiniKettle

Oddly found Jamie v irritating, he's more intelligent than this. Lanky - just nooo! 🙈 P4 was a continuity lecture, I had to concentrate hard! Lennox being part of 'X' was a good twist. Why build a head though?? 🤷‍♂️ Baker, as always, is excellent. Frank is hilarious 😂 Mr Cyberman?? Zoe #MiniKettle

I tried to get into it but the characters were too generic by the end and I couldn't tell them apart, and then the ending itself was pretty bloody naff

some proper space horror, a genre i really get a lot out of, and that, for some reason, the 8th doctor is right at home in.

I remember this being a really good story. One worth a revisit

Orrlensa would make my foot itch if I worked with her! ROSM voice is very Viryan like? Great cliffhangers, the first is a cracker. This is a good story which doesn't deserve to be forgotten like it does. Like the Doc isn't always right. A great advert for not relying on machines 😂 #MiniKettle
