“We have to get the thrip-wibble to modulate the tharack bar.” In which we broadcast in glorious stereo, a cyber pig gets locked in a cupboard of shame, there is a terrible flute solo and we check ourselves before we wreck ourselves. Reviews: Nightmare in Silver Air Date: 16th May 2013 Additional notes: Guest star Warwick Davis has [...]

“The Ice Warriors are a double threat, if they could dance they’d be a triple threat…” In which there is much electronica and hippity-hopping, a mammoth foetus, broken bones and broken promises and a lovely pickle.

“To fire monkeys into people’s bums…” You know when you win a Christmas hamper at the raffle? You’re really excited but then you peek underneath the bottle of cava, bits of raffia and Elizabeth Shaw mints, and you find that someone’s padded out the bottom with dusty tins of spam, pineapple chunks in sugar-free syrup [...]

But what will the Oods make of their first review of a classic episode? Will Andy oscillate with whirling paroxysms of joy? Will Loz [...]
“Eat a spider & then sit through Vengence of Varos.” At the Ood Cast, you won’t be flabbergasted to hear that we hate to see lovely old British institutions taking a hammering from people who really couldn’t do any better themselves. That’s right, we’re talking about the BBC! Haterz back off! Sure, it’s not perfect [...]
“May the best of your past be the worst of your future…” In which we consider the Ponds as companions, people, fictional characters and plot devices.
