Time Ram gets in touch with its inner Chibnall as we zhuzh up ’42’, promoting it from the Tennant era to Davison! Ok, so we lose Freema Agyeman, but we gain popstars a-plenty and JNT’s most inexplicable decision. Also: Beryl Reid in a sweaty vest! What’s not to love?

Time Ram learns what works and what doesn't, as we translate Capaldi's 'The Woman Who Lived' into the Hartnell era! Listeners of a nervous disposition may need to turn away as we mix up man-cows with French spies and free Susan's ring. It must be the extreme old age...

It's Time Ram and 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.
