Episode 118: Murder is Definitely OK When it's Leela
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 52 minutes and 19 secondsJust to clarify, we don’t condone murder.
This week our greatest villain returns: difficult to pronounce names! Just kidding, it’s the Master. The serial at hand is The Keeper of Traken, written by Johnny Bryne and aired in January and February of 1981.
Show-Notes
2:11 Ki-Adi-Mundi was a member of the Jedi High Council. He was a Cerean, a species whose members have two brains.
9:45 In 1974 Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon of any crimes he may have committed. You can read the full proclamation here.
12:36 Terrible. Just terrible.
26:00 The seagull that landed on the chimney when Pope Francis was elected was apparently symbolic. Also, the old pope, Pope Benedict XVI, didn’t die. He resigned.
26:24 Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders thinks “there may be some symbolism” regarding the bird that landed on his podium last month.
26:36 I was probably thinking of Duck for President, a children’s book about, surprisingly enough, a duck running for president.
27:06 Article 1, section 8 (a.k.a. the necessary and proper clause) of the U.S. constitution and the 10th amendment act in opposition to each other. Article 1, section 8 gives the federal government the “power… to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution… all other powers vested by this constitution in the government of the United States,” while the 10th amendment explicitly relegates to the state governments all powers not specifically given to the federal government in the constitution. If you can’t wrap your head around this, well… you’re not alone.
37:09 Spaceship Earth is a spherical building at Epcot in Disney World. The original concept for Epcot was developed by Walt himself, who, as we now know, got the idea from Adric and Nyssa.

Episode 117: Adric is a Cat
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 53 minutes and 51 secondsWe flipped a coin to decide this title.
This week Kiyan and Dylan record in a white featureless room. It might be a padded room, we’re not really sure anymore. There’s a gate here somewhere. A Warrior’s Gate, written by Steve Gallagher and aired in January of 1981.
Show-notes
8:31 Several Dragon Ball Z characters train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, another single-gated, featureless plane that you wouldn’t want to get lost in.
9:43 The Infinite Featureless Plane of Death is, unsurprisingly, an infinite featureless plane from the surprisingly-regular Irregular Webcomic. Here are some strips that feature (get it?) the Plane.
19:13 Two-Face is a Batman villain who decides things based on the flip of a coin. Kind of like how we make all the decisions for this podcast. Ok, not really. Maybe.
19:59 Daredevil is a Marvel character who lost his sight in a freak accident. In exchange, all his other senses are hilariously overpowered.
32:00 Carl Sagan was a scientist and the host and co-writer of Cosmos: A Personal Voyage.
44:57 Richard Dawkins is another scientist and a strong opponent of creationism. He and Lalla Ward got married in 1992.
46:46 Here’s costume designer June Hudson’s design archive if you’re interested. Here are her recent designs, which include more contemporary Doctor Who characters.
49:48 Our Fourth Doctor retrospective will be a collaboration with Jim and Martin of Krynoid Podcast! Links to their various outlets here.

Episode 116: Sass of Rassilon
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 0 seconds“I’m a Time Lord bro. Back off. BACK OFF.” – Sassy Rassilon
This week Kiyan and Dylan do not make it to Gallifrey yet, however much this title may imply that they did. Instead they fail to even leave E-Space. It’s the second story of the E-Space trilogy this week, State of Decay. It was written by Terrance Dicks and aired in November and December of 1980.
Show-notes
10:02 Purple was traditionally associated with nobility in a number of ancient cultures (and still is today).
15:16 You’ve probably already seen the new Star Wars trailer, but go ahead and watch it again. Or watch it for the first time if you haven’t seen it. It was pretty good. Or not. I dunno.
27:29 Punch cards were used to program computers and to store information back in the stone age. We’ve never seen the Doctor use his before and we’ll probably never see it again.
31:20 Here’s a pretty extensive list of vampire weaknesses from various mythologies and media (including Count Chocula).

Episode 115: As Unstoppable as Sylvester Stallone
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 51 minutes and 56 secondsADDRIIIICCCCC. (This is a reference to Rocky.)
This week we’ve come Full Circle. Yes, we’re right where we started. Where was this start? Well, hell if I know. But it’s right here. Right here, where we’ve come Full Circle, thanks to Andrew Smith. The serial aired in October and November of 1980.
Show-notes
05:10 The staple crop on Alzarius is called riverfruit. Like everything in the Doctor Who universe, riverfruit has its own wiki page.
07:11 Peter Howell’s site, which hasn’t been updated in 4 years. Here’s the page on his work for the BBC.
12:26 The Right Stuff (1983) is the film that popularized the power walk. Here’s the clip.
12:45 G.I. Joe is a line of dolls action figures from Hasbro.
13:04 Trump.
17:23 The Rambo films star Sylvester Stallone. They should star K9 though.
19:29 Those were actually riverfruit, not spider eggs. The spiders use the fruit to incubate their eggs during mistfall. Our bad.
25:27 Dexter’s Laboratory is a cartoon that follows the adventures of boy-genius Dexter.

Episode 114: Unassuming Cactus
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 9 secondsJust uh. Don’t mind me. Just a cactus. Nothing more.
This week Kiyan and Dylan record a new episode, and specifically ensure that there are no cacti in the room. No guarantees about Eucalyptus though. It’s Meglos, written byJohn Flanagan and Andrew McCulloch. It aired in September and October of 1980.
We dedicate this episode to Adrienne Corri.
Show-notes
00:28 The Cailleach is a Gaelic deity that appears in season 17’s The Stones of Blood.
07:27 Scene Sync was an advancement of CSO technology used only in this story. It allowed CSO shots to include moving backgrounds. A documentary about the technique, The Scene Sync Story, was included on the DVD release of Meglos.
08:18 Solfatara is a volcano in Italy whose name is derived from the Latin sulpha terra, or “sulfur earth.” Sorta makes you wonder what Zolfa-Thura smelled like…
19:00 Goosebumps is a children’s horror book series. The second book in the series, Stay Out of the Basement, features a sentient plant.
24:35 Eucalyptus is a native Australian tree that’s considered an invasive species in California. Read more about its invasive properties here.
28:54 Couldn’t find the specific documentary that detailed the Death Star’s inaccurate lasers, but here’s an article with a video that discussed the same thing!

356: Many Moose (The Church on Ruby Road)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 25 minutes and 2 secondsIt’s The Church on Ruby Road, written by Russell T. Davies and originally aired on December 25, 2023.
Show-notes:
1:23: To preempt me from a minute later in the episode, here’s the Independent article explaining what I’m talking about.
3:48: No, my memory is awful, I was born in 1996 and this makes me 13 not 10 in 2009. Silly me.
4:42: Here’s a wikipedia page about 1969 for you.
8:58: Idk here’s the very first link about oranges in Christmas stockings in the UK.
21:48: here’s the TARDIS Wiki page on the 15th Doctor’s Sonic
23:58: Not to worry, I have the video of Ncuti explaining his sonic for you.
26:13: I mean, technically kilts have purses.
32:13: Here’s that Moose wikipedia page for everyone too lazy to find it themselves.
40:27: The goblins were practical effects believe it or not.
1:04:56: Tell me I’m not crazy, please, you can hear the breathing in the theme right? Here, listen! You might actually wonder why we don’t have the breathing in the outro to THIS episode, that is, Trust Your Doctor. It’s because I ripped the audio for our intro and outro from the live orchestra performance premiere of the theme.
1:20:25: You can check out that episode of Delayed Replay where I appeared to talk about Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

Well this is the end of the 14th Doctor, honestly gone too soon. We only just barely got to know you but already you’re dead. Kind of. Sort of. I dunno man, this is too confusing for me. It’s The Giggle, written by Russell T. Davies and originally aired on December 10, 2023.
Show-notes:
11:52: The article is quite dense so here’s the Medium article about toll roads.
27:23: Longtime fans of Doctor Who will recognize that I’m here talking about Professor Zaroff.
41:19: No, turns out Luke really did say it in Last Jedi.
1:20:10: Here’s Russell T. Davies’ Doctor Who and the Time War.

This week the TARDIS ventures where it’s never been before, the wild blue yonder. Other yonders are available, however, including the newly released forest green yonder, in addition to the classics: fire red yonder and scorching yellow yonder. It’s Wild Blue Yonder, written by Russell T. Davies and originally aired on December 3, 2023.
Show-notes:
1:26: Honestly just googled “Kafka’s works” to find a source for his work being published posthumously and instead found this long article wondering if he really wanted it destroyed or not.
2:29: Yes Last Jedi was episode 8
14:12: Just in case you forgot, Jack and the 9th Doctor did actually kiss.
17:47: Here’s the TARDIS wiki page for crouton.
21:37: Marvin the paranoid android is a character from Douglas Adam’s The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
24:18: I’m linking wikipedia a lot this week but whatever, here’s the US Air Force (the song).
32:33: I dunno I got this information about the golden gate from wikipedia too.
48:41: Wow, they really did taser grapes to make the Quiet Place noise

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 23 minutes and 55 secondsIt’s really here. The beginning of the second era of Trust Your Doctor.
And you thought I’d never come back, oh ye of little faith. Trust Your Doctor in Distress and all that, I heard your cries. Back with a new cohost, it’s The Star Beast, written by Russell T. Davies and originally aired on November 25, 2023.
Show-notes:
3:08: In true TYD fashion I’m pretty sure I never actually say these notes on the episode.
5:57: It’s an old saying in Tennesee, you know?
8:25: The TARDIS wiki has a summary of the Power of the Doctor though.
31:15: Honestly, I actually didn’t even think The Marvels was that bad.
34:05: Once again the TARDIS wiki has a page that can explain everything, in this case about The Celestial Toymaker.
38:23: I’m only 50% sure that the song I was referring to was Kelly Clarkson’s Underneath the Tree.
43:30: Here’s what a furby is for all the uninformed listeners out there.
58:34: Oh I lied I totally did bring those notes back (but not for Donna)
1:02:52: Here’s that ad campaign, in all its 2011 comic-con glory.

The End…?
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 12 minutes and 36 secondsIt’s really here. The end of the first era of Trust Your Doctor. Stay tuned to find out if the show regenerates just as the Doctor does.
To peel back the curtain just a touch, it’s normally me (Dylan) who writes these descriptions. I don’t know really what to say so instead I’ll quote Brian May at Wembley: “I don’t have very much to say, so thank you very much for coming […] you’re great. We love ya.”
As Dylan just wrote in the above paragraph, I (Kiyan) don’t typically contribute to these intros, so I’m not exactly sure what to say either. But as Fall Out Boy once said, “Thnks fr the mmrs.”
Show-notes:
2:55: For one final time, check out our Blake’s 7 podcast Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
13:47: Here’s a good blog post on “the Kurosawa method.”
16:00: Check it our supremely unsuccessful movie trilogy podcast Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast. Or don’t. I can’t control what you do.
19:07: Funhaus is actually still really funny, and I’d recommend them if you’re looking for lets players. I just don’t watch them regularly anymore.
30:15: You can read my (Dylan’s) 2021 NanoWrimo Novel “Psychic” over at my website.
37:22: Here, I’ll link straight to our video episode for you. Amazingly it has almost 350 views. (I (Kiyan) am absolutely not going to click this. Don’t even want to see one second of it. lol.)
43:00: The old logo is actually not on the website, so here it is.
43:45: Check out Dylan’s write-ups about the original Prisoner video game, the first of which you can find here.
49:35: That fan fiction reading is still up on our feed, so be sure to check that out. (Will not be linked here. Lel. -Kiyan)
1:27:30: Our segment on Blue Box Podcast was on Doctor in Distress. You can hear it on that episode at the timestamp ~ 3:27:17
2:05:30: I’ll just link to the Last of the Gadarene episode for you.

352: Really Say Goodbye (The Power of the Doctor)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 2 minutes and 9 secondsThis week we return to the podcast that kicked off everything. It’s the moment that started everything, Trust Your Doctor, coming back for its triumphant…. death. It’s the beginning of the end but the moment has been prepared for, but only as far as we usually prepare on Decorative Vegetable podcasts. It’s The Power of the Doctor, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on October 23, 2022
Show-notes:
0:54 The Monoids appeared in The Ark.
1:58: We watched classic sci-horror series Children of the Stones on Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast, a classic sci-fi podcast that you should check out if you’re looking for a classic sci-fi podcast, like classic sci-fi, and/or like podcasts.
2:05: Check out fellow Doctor Who podcasts Krynoid Podcast and Flight Through Entirety. You’ll be glad you did.
6:25: If this is your first time hearing that Doctor Who is going to be a coproduction with Disney+, then I’m so sorry.
29:17: The Cyberium was introduced in The Haunting of Villa Diotati. The bulk of our show-notes on this show are links to the TARDIS wiki lol.
37:00: The King’s Man didn’t feature Ra Ra Rasputin… I was very sad.
49:52: Tom Baker is 88 years old. You can see him looking quite frail in this interview from a year ago.
52:23: I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn’t even matter.
1:10:40: We actually did go back and rewatch this 1 minute segment and The Master really did just control the Qurunx, somehow.
1:15:0: Check out this picture for yourself… at the TARDIS wiki.
1:48:36: His name was Tosin Cole, and we should be ashamed for forgetting. (editor’s note: I mean I looked it up like one minute after this…)

Audio 28: Theatre Theater (Redacted)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 50 minutes and 53 secondsWe all now belong to the Church of Sil.
Look, it’s a podcast about old doctor who characters coming back and appearing in the most random way possible. How can you not expect that Sil would make an appearance? He’s basically the greatest character that’s ever graced our television screens. And I mean that most sincerely. It’s Redacted, written by Juno Dawson, Catherine Brinkworth, Ella Watts, Sasha Sienna, Ken Cheng, Àjoké Ibironke, Doris Sutherland, and David Barnes, and released between April 12 and June 19, 2022.
Show-notes:
6:24: If you want to listen to Redacted yourself without pirating it, you can listen on BBC Sounds.
10:25: Remember this statement about shots, because Kiyan’s going to forget he said it. (Editor’s note: I don’t know what this means.)
10:58: The Blue Box Podcast is a podcast about Doctor Who.
11:42: I did it anyway.
14:14: Partners in Crime. The name of the episode was Partners in Crime.
19:50: I’m not even going to bother trying to find this thread because I won’t be able to.
23:00: Don’t worry, the TARDIS wiki has an extensive page on Clive Finch.
26:27: The disappearing hospital was seen in Smith and Jones.
29:14: I feel like most of the links in these show-notes are going to be TARDIS wiki links, but anyway, here’s Oliver Morgenstern. I was also mildly wrong, the actor for Oliver also did not return for this audio.
36:40: The Larry Nightingale “ARG” is pretty wild all things considered.
37:20: “Ergodic literature” refers to texts that take effort on the part of the reader to engage with.
47:09: Let’s all remember The Zygon Invasion/Inversion thanks to the TARDIS wiki.
50:55: Remember what I told you to remember earlier?
58:36: IF you want to hear us talk about Firefly for some reason, check out Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast, our classic sci-fi podcast, where we covered that show last year (i.e. 2021).
1:00:40: Also check out Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast, our Blake’s 7 podcast, cause why not?
1:07:40: List of Sil’s Appearances. There are far too many of these if you ask me.
1:10:00: I would normally cut sneezes out but the Sil spinoff necessitated leaving Kiyan’s blessings of us all in the recording.
1:21:10: SILOET (the SHADO reference) is actually an alleged evolution of UNIT later in the Doctor Who timeline. Also lmao at Dylan’s pronunciation here. It’s “silhouette” lol.
1:28:06: Kick some ass, get the girl, and try to look dope while you do it.
1:07:40: Charlie Craggs actually does have an IMDB page. Though there’s nothing on it besides this as of this writing.

Audio 26: Comes in Clutch (The Spectre of Lanyon Moor)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 28 minutes and 40 secondsI think Kiyan spent a little too much time on knowyourmeme this week.
So one time I was driving my car away from the shop after replacing my transmission fluid and Dom Toretto pulled up next to me. He rolled down his window, and I obliged the unspoken invitation to do the same. He had been looking for a challenge, he said, and offered to race me. I agreed, of course, reluctantly. Long story short, I won. Guess you could say my transmission came in clutch. Speaking of which, this week we’re coming in clutch with The Spectre of Lanyon Moor written by Nicolas Pegg and released in June 2000.
Show-notes:
3:48: I thought it was spelled “fugu” but it’s spelled “fogou.” (Editor’s note: I thought it was spelled “fondue.”)
4:48: Good news, I have the cover for you right here.
9:23: Good news Once again we refer to The Time Scales for these numbers.
23:00:The mounds were burial sites apparently.
29:07:Check out Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast, our Blake’s 7 podcast.
30:50:Believe it or not, I found the TikTok I was referring to. (Warning: watching while British may cause extreme distress.)
37:15:Screw you guys, I’m going home.
38:22:They do use imperial units in the UK, and Kiyan and Dylan are both correct. Road signs are required by law to be in feet/miles, and the common British vernacular uses imperial units, i.e. feet for height and pounds for food. Read more in this BBC article.
58:36: Based means being yourself. Not being scared of what people think about you. Not being afraid to do what you wanna do. Being positive.
1:02:35: Check out our old episode on The Nightmare Fair I guess.
1:23:06: Airzone Solution novelisation
1:26:57: By “you” he meant Kiyan. (Editor’s note: I don’t know what this is referring to.)You can find Steven on:

Audio 25: Martian Instinct Moments (Red Dawn)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 6 minutes and 52 secondsWe call those MIMs in the business.
I can’t even have any Earth Instinct Moments. You ever look at a bug and go “huh it’s 4 inches long and it’s bright red with black stripes, it’s probably harmless?” Well good news, you just had an Earth Instinct Moment. And you’re doing better than I am. It’s Red Dawn written by Justin Richards and released in May 2000.
Show-notes:
4:00: As usual, here’s the Time Scales for you.
9:45: Pretty sure we’ve talked about this before but Peter Davison is Peter Moffet’s stage name.
10:57: Feel like I’m always linking the covers of these things for you.
28:01: We all love the Argosy.
35:62: Wikipedia summarizes the Brookings Report, but if you feel adventurous you can read the entire thing if you want.
54:26: Check out our coverage of Star Cops on our classic sci-fi podcast, Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast.
56:06: Look at me, just gonna link to the Big Finish FAQ directly. (Editor’s note: proud of you.)
1:03:55: I forgot we read Spiral Scratch for our Sixth Doctor retrospective. What a tragedy that turned out to be. Here’s the cover in all its squiggly awfulness by the way.

Audio 24: The Need to Read (The Genocide Machine)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 11 minutes and 10 secondsIt’s kind of like the need for speed but more academic.
So once upon a time I opened up a book. And I wanted to just go ahead and read it and be all chill. I sat down, I lit a candle. I fluffed up my couch cushion. And just as I started to read I felt an itching. A need. A need for cheese. It’s The Genocide Machine written by Mike Tucker and released in April 2000.
Show-notes:
7:05: I’ll link to the Dalek Empire wiki page for those curious at home (or wherever you are).
10:52: Mike Tucker’s wiki page lists all his Doctor Who credits and it’s quite extensive.
14:48: For more on Terry Nation and characters named Tarrant, check out our Blake’s 7 podcast, Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
24:23: I tried to find some information on BBC oversight over Big Finish but I couldn’t. Sad. (Editor’s note: read the last word in Trump’s voice in my head. Sad.)14:23: One panel comic

Audio 23: Hot Chocolate Technology (The Marian Conspiracy)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 23 minutes and 16 secondsDamn, now I want Hot Chocolate.
Conspiracies. Can’t live with ’em, can’t live without coming up with a new one every 4.6 seconds. Well, maybe that’s just me. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s just this week’s story, coming your way via our way courtesy once again of Big Finish. It’s all about conspiracies – actually just one conspiracy in particular, that conspiracy being The Marian Conspiracy written by Jacqueline Raynor and released on March 12, 2000.
What titles would we give each Doctor if they were named instead of numbered? (This is in response to an email we got.)
Here’s my (Kiyan) picks:
1. The Black and White Doctor
2. The Second Black and White Doctor
3. The First Not Black and White Doctor
4. Thete
5. The Third Not Black and White Doctor
6. Colin
7. Sylvester Stallone
8. The Doctor
9. The The Older Something Is The Stronger It Is Doctor
10. The David Tennant Doctor
11. The War Doctor
War. The Old-Ass One Foot in the Grave Doctor
12. The Caecilius Doctor
13. The RIP Doctor Who 1963-2017 Doctor
Fugitive. The Mysterious Doctor
Show-notes:
4:00: Pretty sure Dylan just said this for the title.
5:10: As always, here’s the timescales webpage for The Marian Conspiracy.
5:50:It was The Land of the Dead. Lmao. Also, I was wrong about Power. It was the second episode of series D. The episode I was referring to was Horizon. Oops.
11:22: I was, of course, wrong again. It was the Tenth Doctor story New Earth.
13:56: Can’t believe I’m unironically linking Horace Slughorn in a Doctor Who podcast.
26:50: I’m just reading Mary’s wikipedia page at this point.
41:20: The cover for The Marian Conspiracy is on the timescales page above, but here it is solo anyway. And here’s the meme, for the millionth time in our show notes, for reference.
1:03:08: Here’s the article I’m reading off of. (Editor’s note: I think this is the right link. Either way, the information is there. I just don’t know whether it’s exactly where Dylan got it.) (Dylan’s Note: Yep that’s right)
1:06:29: Our ep on Bang-Bang-a-Boom
1:11:12: I spent the promised 5 minutes and couldn’t find it.
1:18:39: The Curator

Audio 22: Chekhov’s Firebomb (The Fearmonger)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 30 minutes and 40 secondsIt’s The Fearmonger written by Jonathon Blum and released on February 4, 2000.
Show-notes:
0:47: Big Finish dot com back in the 90s. Not owned by whom we currently know as Big Finish. Probably.
3:20: Good news, the show-notes guy is here to give you a link to The Timescales for The Fearmonger.
11:45: In case you haven’t heard, or have and just forgot or something, Ace is returning in the third and final Whittaker special special, alongside who other than Tegan. I would say that this is a pretty ace move on behalf of Chris Chibnall, but only Ace says “ace” with that usage, so I’ll just say it’s kind of neat.
18:30: Here’s the cover of The Fearmonger for you to get into the mood while listening to the podcast.
24:30: Department C19 was a major player in the books, apparently.
27:47: If you for some inexplicable reason want to hear us talk more about Jacqueline Pearce, and Paul Darrow for that matter, check out Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast, our Blake’s 7 podcast.
45:30: For all the masochists out there.
1:14:56: Soccer City is… a thing.
1:17:20: Here’s the post in text form too.

Audio 21: The Common Courtesy to Die (Land of the Dead)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 23 minutes and 26 secondsI wish I had the common courtesy to die
I wrote a Doctor Who fan fiction called “The Colony of the Dead” once. This is a true story, by the way. Anyway, I wrote it long before I knew this audio existed. It features the First Doctor in an icy wasteland where dead people are coming back to life. I’m pretty sure I still have it somewhere actually… It’s Land of the Dead written by Steven Cole and released in January, 2000.
Show-notes:
1:00: We all wish that Big Finish audios were released on Dual Disc, right?
2:35: Why do we need Young James Bond anyway?
8:40: The Koyukon are real indigenous people of Alaska.
21:40: Here’s the map of Brett’s house as uploaded to the TARDIS wiki.
35:24: Yep, Big Finish exists in universe.
45:57: The 6th Doctor became vegetarian in The Two Doctors, apparently.
57:04: Here’s what Big Finish dot com looked like on the seventh of October 1999.
1:03:00: It’s over 9000.
1:07:56: Check out more on Real Time on the most insane site on the public internet, the Tardis Wiki.
1:12:50: If you want to listen to us talk about Blake’s 7 for 50+ episodes for some reason, check out our Blake’s 7 podcast, Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
1:13:15: Call the police, my wife has been murdered! I actually did a pretty good Paul Darrow impression here, if I do say so myself.
1:17:00: Here’s a link to the actual news article, now that it actually works.
1:20:50: Listen to Zenith’s final episode for yourself over here.

Audio 20: Blended Seaweed (Whispers of Terror)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 24 minutes and 18 secondsJust drop that seaweed in the blender and blend it right up. Yum.
Did you hear that? That noise. The one just behind you. The one that kind of sounded like a door opening. Nah, never mind, it probably wasn’t important. Probably just the wind. It’s Whispers of Terror, written by Justin Richards and released in November, 1999.
Show-notes:
0:37: Ironically, Kiyan’s specificity ended at not including the actual date of release, since it appears nobody really knows what it is.
3:45: According to the Doctor Who Podcast Alliance, the total sum of our audio output is actually 22 days.
6:18: Considering the rather blistering intro paragraph of this 2008 academic paper, it’s probably not true that indigenous Tasmanians forgot how to make fire. Unless this paper is wrong idk.
7:20: Brace yourself, I’m about to mispronounce Ncuti Gatwa‘s name.
9:00: Yeah, guess I just decided to immortalize my mistake for all eternity. Nice.
13:03: Some excerpts of the interview appear on DailyMail. Here’s the relevant part: “‘It was talent. He was the very last one, we thought we had someone and then in he came in and stole it,’ Davies said.”
35:32: Someone made a compilation of all the times Mel screamed, so you can enjoy that if you like.
36:27: Witness the atrocity known as laverbread. I’ve never tried it, so you know what, hey, it might be good.
1:05:42: It’s called Ghost in the Machine, and we’ve released an episode on it here.
52:27: Here’s what bigfinish.com looked like in 1999. Something tells me the Big Finish we know and love today weren’t the owners of the domain back then.
1:00:26: The dog in question. And on fire.
1:06:28: Here are our episodes on Ghost in the Machine and Sleep no More if you’re interested.We’ve also released an episode on Sleep No More.
1:06:32: I have no idea which story I’m talking about here. I couldn’t find it.
1:08:50: Here’s The Time Scales by the way.
1:12:20: Good news, you don’t need to navigate Twitter’s god awful interface because I’ve done it for you.
1:15:20: Listen to Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast on your favourite podcast catcher.
1:20:00: Behold the rabbit hole of WeatherNewFans.
1:23:39: I had no idea how right I truly was…

Audio 19: The Waking Dead (Phantasmagoria: Revisited)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 16 minutes and 3 secondsAlternate title: Hell Yeah, Mark Strickson! We were less enthusiastic about old Mark after we learned he was maybe possibly theoretically hypothetically a redhead, but also not one at the same time. Got give it up to him though. He was pretty fantastic in this story. Or should I say phantastic, with a “ph?” Probably not because it’s not spelled with a “ph,” but what is spelled with a “ph” is Phantasmagoria, written by Mark Gatiss and released on October 4, 1999.
Show-notes:
1:00: I suppose the cover is kind of orangey.
1:20: I dunno here’s a picture of Mark Strickson, decide for yourself what color his hair is. (Editor’s note: It’s chartreuse.)
2:45: This was the optical illusion I was talking about, courtesy of the Washington Post. I guess they had nothing better to report on or something. Anyway, I if you put your finger between A and B in the image, you’ll see that they’re the same color. That’s what I meant to say on recording. Here’s a bunch of similar illusions from the Washington Post.
3:28: Here’s our first attempt at this episode from like 5 years ago if you’d like to listen to it. I’m not going to.
6:35: Behold: stories set in 1702.
9:23: Here’s the wikipedia page on Almanac that Kiyan couldn’t find in a reasonable time span.
15:08: The Visitation is set in 1666.
19:28: Apparently it was true.
23:37: Check out our classic sci-fi podcast, Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast.
55:30: It’s Day of the Doctor that Kiyan is referring to here.
1:02:02 The P.R.O.B.E. videos are actually about Liz Shaw, they don’t even pretend it’s not, because of how rights worked. Also, if you know how/why P.R.O.B.E. stands for “Preternatural Research Bureau,” let us know, cause we’re stumped.
1:06:38 Seven Keys to Doomsday is an audio adaptation of a stage play.
1:07:50 The name of JB’s current Doctor Who podcast, if you weren’t aware, is Doctor Who Gives a F*ck.

Audio 18: Cheesegrating Yourself (The Sirens of Time)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 10 minutes and 36 secondsNothing more grating than a cheese grater, especially when you’re using it to grate yourself. Going to town with it on your own body. Turning yourself into a bloody pulp if you know what I’m saying. Tearing your flesh to shreds if you catch my drift. Permanently maiming yourself in the most hideous and painful way possible if you get my meaning. The grating halt to which our enjoyment of this audio came in the story’s fourth part is pretty high up there on the gratingness scale too though, I guess. It’s The Sirens of Time, written by Nicholas Briggs and released on July 19, 1999
Show-notes:
2:03: When you remember that Tom Baker actually created Slender Man.
7:04: For the love of god, don’t listen to our episode on The Airzone Solution.
8:30: I’ll just link the page for this audio on the Big Finish site so you can see the cover of this audio.
15:30: Know Your Meme has details on the “reaction guys” meme. Here’s the 2014 reunion as a side-by-side comparison.
16:46: Sigh, something something TARDIS wiki something something artron energy.
24:35: Check out Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast, our classic sci-fi podcast.
42:15: Here’s a pretty decent page on whether or not viruses are alive (it’s up for debate) and how they differ from other lifeforms. I think when most people think “virus,” they’re thinking of bacteriophages, which look like microscopic robots. These things attack bacteria and are supposedly one of the deadliest beings on Earth. Luckily, they’re completely harmless to humans.
1:08:53: Here’s a sneak peek at what we’re covering next week, courtesy of the TARDIS wiki.

351: Super Mario Hops (Legend of the Sea Devils)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 25 minutes and 2 secondsDid you know that Sea Devils actually have major hops?
This week we return to the podcast that kicked off everything. It’s the moment that started everything, Trust Your Doctor, coming back for its triumphant return. Unfortunately, its to cover an episode that is… less than triumphant if we do say so. It’s Legend of the Sea Devils, written by Ella Road and Chris Chibnall and aired on April 17, 2022
Show-notes:
5:05: Lady Christina has her own spinoff and the cover looks pretty damn boring if I do say so myself.
12:47: We’re both reading the Sea Devils page on the TARDIS wiki.
34:24: Clangers is indeed still around.
36:05: How can you not love how adorable the Skymoos are?
52:55: Check out Inevitable: A Classic Sci Fi Podcast
1:09:50: Here’s a link to “Not that gripping, not that bad.”

350: Drains on the Brains (Eve of the Daleks)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 36 minutes and 5 secondsI suppose there are worse things to have on the brain.
It’s Eve of the Daleks, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on January 1, 2022
Show-notes:
2:55: For some reason I will take this opportunity to link you to our Heaven Sent episode, over a year ago!
4:00: Not gonna link this.
8:01: Jar Jar Binks is canon to the Doctor Who universe.
20:02: Here’s the TARDIS wiki page on time loops.
22:00: Trust Your Doctor released its first episode on January 24, 2014. This episode is no longer in the podcast feed, because it’s pretty bad. It’s been since replaced by a re-recorded version that was backdated.
29:36: You are a sad, strange little man.
33:30: The official Doctor Who youtube account, in what may have been a bout of prescience, uploaded the clip of Dan literally running circles around the Dalek for all to enjoy. (It actually wasn’t a bout of prescience since they uploaded the clip on the 3rd, well after there was enough time to gauge whether it would be regarded as one of the best scenes in the episode, which I would assume it was and which I personally think it is, but whatever.)
36:02: Paying tax on illegal money is something about how you’re supposed to be taxed on total income, not just total legal income.
45:50: The character Dan worked with at the food bank was Wilma.
47:38: Troll 2, the greatest masterpiece of 20th-century film, is actually a movie we’ve watched on Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast, our movie trilogy podcast, so check that episode out.
54:31: Here’s some more information on the gunpowder plot (and Guy Fawkes), courtesy of Wikipedia.
58:57: I didn’t even bother to try find this tweet. (Editor’s note: Same. Forget that, lol)
1:00:40: Here’s a link to the official BBC Sea Devil promo images. This article also includes an image from the Third Doctor serial, The Sea Devils, indicating that the sea devil itself does not seem to have been so massively redesigned as we thought.
1:19:14: EthelredBusybody’s review of Eve of the Daleks.
1:20:10: Flux and Beyond, by busclas.
1:26:11: Brigadier Bambera is BACK. LETS GO.
1:26:50: Frazer Hines isonly 77, actually.

349: Can’t Wait for the Absorbaloff to Come Back (The Vanquishers)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 44 minutes and 48 secondsYou heard it here first, from the podcast that the show is based on rather than the other way around ™.
The end of our first season that we podcasted along with the episodes as they aired. So that’s gotta be something important in our history right? And three episodes from now we’ll basically have finished up this whole era on the podcast, with our first podcast along regeneration episode. Anyway, it’s The Vanquishers, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on December 5, 2021.
Show-notes:
1:20: Spoiler Alert: How to Pronounce did not help.
1:46: The clip I found is the beginning of this interview with Azhur Saleem and Jamie Magnus Stone.
7:40: I tried to find out if “tapestratic” was a word, and it is not. (Editor’s note: But as always, you can find it being used online in, you guessed it, an academic(-ish) article: Becoming-Jaguar: Escaping Dialectical Negation Through Monistic Process Metaphysics)
9:22: Check out our movie trilogy podcast, Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast.
24:17: The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument is cool as hell and you should all check it out. Tweet me if you have any questions about it, I love my work.
24:34: Just outing my github, I suppose, but here’s the code I wrote that gets run every night on any data we take.
24:55: Wikipedia cites an internal memo from Barry Letts where he names The Master explicitly because it’s another academic degree like a doctorate. This memo, however, 404’s so I’ll just link Wikipedia.
28:12: ToohotforTV
31:18: We’re (not (not (not))) going to make chocolate on Cooking with Trust Your Doctor.
32:12: For more on Gan and the failures of his limited, check out our Blake’s 7 podcast, Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
38:06: We watched the Prisoner (2009) over on our classic sci-fi podcast, Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast.
1:01:32: Good news, knowyourmeme is here to explain the “Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?” meme.
1:06:15: Here’s that Paul Cornell tweet that spurred on this discussion.
1:28:16: I will not be able to find this tweet again, it’s been almost a week since it was posted and things in the twitterspace just fall into the void.
1:29:02: Here’s the TARDIS wiki page for Shobogan (species).
1:33:53: Doctor Who Gives a F#*! has a great website, you should go look at it.
1:42:02: To keep up with our Inevitable adventures, go and subscribe to Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast.

348: Stick With Me Here, But John Cena as the Master (Survivors of the Flux)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 44 minutes and 52 secondsTrust Your Doctor normally has insane ideas, but this time they’ve gone too far.
We’re rapidly closing in on the end of possibly the whirl windiest season of Doctor Who ever written. It’s bizarre, it’s amazing, it’s huge. It’s everything you ever wanted from a Doctor Who story. Or at least, that’s what the boys over at Trust Your Doctor think. I mean, really, what else could it be? It’s Survivors of the Flux, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on November 28, 2021.
Show-notes:
0:26: Didn’t look up how to pronounce Azhur Saleem’s name. Sorry.
1:35: Here’s your Spotify wrapped! How did I do that? Well. Magicians never reveal their secrets. (Editor’s note: he just linked directly to it.)
2:22: You can actually listen to our Revolution of the Daleks episode over here.
3:17: Check out our Blake’s 7 podcast, Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast, and help it do even better than any of our currently running podcasts.
4:00: It’s actually Justin underscore does underscore art: @justin_does_art.
6:21: Check out our other podcasts too: Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast and Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast.
5:02: You can actually see every episode of our podcasts we released in 2021 on our website, since I normally tag posts/episodes by their release year.
12:34: The word wizard has been ruined forever.
17:55: For those as interested in the behind the scenes as much as I am, here’s the BTS video from John Bishop’s twitter.
20:07: Check out the best episode of Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast: the Fred Trilogy episode.
21:40: I was shocked to discover that this tweet/instagram post was a damn month ago. Anyway, good news is I found the tweet where someone showed that Vin made himself bigger than The Rock.
27:02: Norse mythology in general is pretty fascinating, but Yggdrasil itself is one of the most interesting things in it. (Editor’s note: I have no idea why Dylan is so interested in Norse mythology all of a sudden.)
28:30: Don’t worry Fandango Movieclips is here to remind you of the fridge scene in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
36:39: I don’t remember what episode this was, probably the one we recorded the week I discovered it. Surprise, Dylan didn’t cut it out.
43:04: Worry not, we haven’t forgotten that this is an audio only medium. Here’s the shot we’re talking about.
45:58: The Killing Joke, a seminal comic classic.
53:37: I like when Kiyan says he’ll put things in the show-notes, because it means I don’t have to. (Editor’s note: was this just a random comment? I didn’t say anything to this effect around this timestamp, so whatever.)
57:33: Was this the thing the last show note was referring to? Chris Chibnall’s villain origin story? For some reason I can’t find a better quality upload of it in full anymore. There definitely used to be one on youtube.
1:03:25: I forgot where I read the US department of defense uses VHS tapes, but I can’t find any other information along this line, so it’s probably wrong.
1:05:30: We’re gonna talk about John Barrowman for a while, so I think it best to link an article that gives a good overview of the allegations against him for those who aren’t in the loop.
1:23:52: There was, I kid you not, twenty seconds of stunned silence to this revelation that I cut out.
1:26:55: “The last thing I have to say…” *looks at timestamp*
1:36:01: As promised, here’s the article from Steven’s email.
1:39:44: It must have been fun before we revealed this on the podcast to imagine that our show-notes person sometimes seemed to have multiple personalities. For a fun game, try guess who wrote this show-note.

347: I Regret Nothing and I Don’t Take it Back (Village of the Angels)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 38 minutes and 9 secondsWell, I suppose it was worth a shot trying to get him to take it back. (Editor’s note: No.)
We somehow went this entire episode without making a “Children of the Stones” joke. Can you believe that? I can’t believe that. We made a dozen of those jokes while we were watching the episode, so the fact that we didn’t make a single one in the episode is a little shocking. It’s Village of the Angels, written by Chris Chibnall and Maxine Alderton and aired on November 21, 2021.
Show-notes:
3:05: I couldn’t find out exactly when they finished Flux specifically, but I read that Jodie and Mandip wrapped the final special in October. Here’s a handy dandy timeline of the entire season’s + specials production schedule.
4:33: Here’s the article explaining why Doctor Who is apparently banned in China. Apparently the ban has something to do with treating history seriously, which I guess the Chinese government says that shows like Doctor Who don’t. Weird but hey. The article also reminded me that Winnie the Pooh is also censored in China. Lmao.
6:40: Here’s the “bloody good story” and “absolutely brilliant” tweets for ya.
11:40: Devon is a county in the south west of the UK.
16:19: Kiyan and I are referencing Geraint Cooper, from Torchwood.
18:06: Here’s a clip in case you forgot what an Ood vomiting out its brain looked like.
18:48: COME QUIETLY OR THERE WILL BE TROUBLE.
24:17: Kiyan probably could not find the phrase “There is no planet called Time” in the Halloween Apocalypse transcript, because the phrase was actually said in War of the Sontarans.
31:42: From Chakoteya: “JERICHO: Oh, I’ve seen many things beyond my comprehension, Doctor. I was one of the first British soldiers into Belsen at the end of the war. If you think a few stone statues will destroy my equilibrium you are mistaken. What do you need me to do?” Bergen-Belsen (or just Belsen) was a concentration camp.
32:20: I will never find this tweet but I don’t even care to defend this tweet.
33:15: Sorry for linking to Daily Mail, but they had the best picture of Jodie Whittaker looking miserable at the beach.
35:55: Here’s the tweet from the official BBC account of the angels and their scar, for all you fanatics to compare to.
48:47: Don’t worry, Know Your Meme comes through once again.
48:51: And here’s the link to the monkey puppet meme. I made this reference on our latest episode of Inevitable: A Classic Sci Fi Podcast, where we talked about the Firefly episode, Trash.
50:45: Check out our classic sci-fi podcast, Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast.
53:18: We covered assignment 3 of Sapphire and Steel like a year ago.
54:35: From Out of the Rain. Yeah, I’m linking Wikipedia for this and not tardis.fandom.com What are you gonna do about it?
59:29: We regretfully covered The Predator on our soon-to-be-defunct movie trilogy podcast, Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast.
1:01:07: Be sure to listen to listen to our episode on movie trilogies over on Triple Play: A Predator Podcast. This has to be the most useless show-note I’ve ever written.
1:29:55: We also have an episode on Pirates of the Caribbean over on Triple Play.
1:35:25: Check out Flight Through Entirety.

346: Negative Progress (Once, Upon Time)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 31 minutes and 53 seconds1 step forward, 23597908945832974317590327591375932175 steps back.
Have you ever seen that Disney Christmas special, “Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas?” I remember owning it on DVD as a kid, but I actually for some reason remember thinking that the sequel, “Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas” was better. I don’t know why I remember this. I’m not sure anybody else even agrees with me. It’s Once, Upon Time, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on November 14, 2021.
Show-notes:
1:07: Dylan (I) obviously meant “John perTWEE and Joffery Beevers.” Also, the guy whose name we mispronounced for the entirety of The Prisoner (on Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast) was George Markstein.
15:02: It is actually called the uvula, I was being serious!
34:32: Tamagotchis still exist, so if you want one for yourself you can easily go and get one now. (Editor’s note: so do the Digimon v-pets.)
35:16: I’ve tried to find a reference for Box before with no avail, so I’ll see if Kiyan wants to try. (Editor’s note: I don’t know what this means, but check out Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast.)
36:13: The “The World If” meme.
36:34: The title of Episode 5 was even “Three End” because we made a pun off the future name of Triple Play.
45:05: Spoilers for two minutes from now, I’m talking about Brendan. (Editor’s note: why was this necessary? Also check out Flight Through Entirety.)
1:03:20: Don’t worry, Wikipedia will hook you up with information on Keyser Söze.
1:05:25: Not the same director, or even writer actually. Easy to get confused though.
1:17:17: Here’s that Keys of Marinus Revisited episode for you. Funny that “Three End” also covered Keys of Marinus. Is Flux a secret Keys of Marinus remake? (Editor’s note: no.)
1:25:30: Check out Firefly on Inevitable.
1:26:02: I’m reading from How Angles Really Look, so go and read about some more terrifying angels.
1:29:10: I put on my robe and wizard hat. You’re welcome.

345: Flux Repellent Shields (War of the Sontarans)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 40 minutes and 49 secondsCome one, come all, come and see the magical flux repellent shields on the Luparian fleet.
Flux repellent sounds like some sort of AXE body spray knock off. Did the UK have the phase where every middle schooler ever wore AXE? Cuz we certainly had it over here in the US and some might argue that we never really even escaped that period even tho we like to think we did. That’s neither here nor there though. It’s War of the Sontarans, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on November 7, 2021.
Show-notes:
4:17: I’m not gonna link all the random Doctor Who stories that we reference here. You’re listening to a Doctor Who podcast, I’m pretty sure you know what we’re referencing.
7:54: DAMN DANIEL
9:53: In case you forgot what the HADS is, here’s the TARDIS wiki page on the HADS. I had(s) also forgotten about it until now
12:04: Here’s the Wikipedia page on The Crimean War if you’re curious and know as little about it as we did.
12:50: Mary Jane Seacole was a British-Jamaican nurse and businesswoman who also has an extensive wikipedia page.
22:28: The TARDIS wiki conveniently used an image of the exact scene Kiyan was referring to for the Armageddon Factor.
28:23: And including Alaska.
37:14: It’s just “Crimea” according to Wikipedia.
38:39: The etymology of Russia is actually pretty well documented on sites like etymonline and a bunch of others. I don’t remember seeing any of this info years ago. It comes from Rus, the name of ancient people who lived in/settled in the area. The etymology of “Rus” is a little more up for debate though according to wiki.
40:25: I was unclear in what my point was here. What I wanted to say was whether or not you considered the entire USSR as “Russia” or just the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic as “Russia”. It’s like, when you say “America” do you mean only the states, or do you include Puerto Rico?
49:15: Here’s the link to that post, on the official Doctor Who Facebook page.
51:53: SyFy actually claims directly that Doctor Who influenced The Matrix.
57:00: They look a lot like Eldrad, truly.
1:01:1: The Kuleshov Effect, enjoy. Also check out our classic sci-fi podcast, Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast, where we talked about this in more detail at some point or another.
1:06:53: Keep an Eye on Dan, he can get a little out of hand.
1:11:15: God damn we referenced a lot of other Doctor Who episodes this week.
1:16:58: Remember that you will one day die, obviously, just like the rest of us. Memento Mori.
1:18:00: Ok I’ll link the 11th Doctor’s regeneration for you.
1:36:48: Wikipedia has an in-depth history of Halloween. The modern holiday has a number of origins, but yeah, it’s basically of European origin. One of the quotes on the page is from an old book published like 100 years ago: “All Halloween customs in the United States are borrowed directly or adapted from those of other countries.”
1:39:04: Yes, Icelandic is the closest you’ll get to Old Norse.

344: The Luparian Steve Jobs (The Halloween Apocalypse)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 35 minutes and 34 secondsDoes every culture have a Steve Jobs analogue?
This episode, both the TV episode and our podcast episode, are a little bit chaotic. We drop a lot of theories on this episode, amazingly they’re all probably going to be wrong. At the same time, can yo believe that? I can. We’re known for it at this point. (Just kidding). Anyway, it’s The Halloween Apocalypse, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on October 31, 2021.
Show-notes:
0:47: I might as well link the Marco Polo episode for all you Trust Your Doctor historians.
1:44: Confirm whether or not we watched The Chase together by listening to our episode on it.
5:02: Yeah The Big Bang wiped out the Doctor Who universe and rebuilt it.
7:15: Pair bonding is beyond not what I meant to say here.
9:57: It took us 10 minutes before we referenced Christopher Eccleston blowing up canon. I thought this was a new record but in our Survival episode we took only 5 and a half minutes.
14:26: Fear not dear listener, the wikipedia page for cold opens is here to save the day.
16:54: The TARDIS wiki of all places has a page on the arg. I forgot that the “prize” was just a picture of the Doctor. lol.
19:51: List of British Monarchs. Best wikipedia page, 2021.
23:42: For all our American fans, here’s some info on Liverpool FC
26:43: I will not link this.
35:22: Googling “JFK jr resurrection” has probably ruined my search history but I did it for you.
54:23: This is not going to go the way you think.
57:55: Here’s that page in case you wanted to look yourself.
1:17:00: Bernard’s statement is sourced from a tweet because it was said live on TV.
1:19:09: You all remember the War Chief? Good times.
1:32:56: Here, you can watch the opening scene to Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets for yourself.
1:33:21: We talked about Taken a while ago over on Triple Play.

Trust Your Doctor is Back!
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 5 minutes and 43 secondsWe’re back, again!
It hasn’t been that long, just 4 months or so, but we’re finally back. Unlike the actual Doctor Who, we didn’t take a massive like 10 year hiatus. But we’re back to podcast along with Doctor Who: Series 13: Flux. Or whatever the heck they’ve decided to call it.

343: Like Getting Slapped With a Wet Sock (The Airzone Solution)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 32 minutes and 57 secondsAh, my favourite sensation.
So in the future, when we’re all wearing masks in order to stay alive, do you think we’ll look back on this movie as a warning? Probably not in al honestly, I think most people probably don’t even remember that it exists. I didn’t. And I wish to never again. See you all soon! It’s The Airzone Solution and released at some point in 1993.
Show-notes:
0:56: Here, for your very own viewing and enjoyment, the Warped Factor review that I read from.
5:44: Did you know that the ineffable Dough Liman directed Chaos Walking to the point of it being unreleasable?
11:58: Yep this takes place in 2091. Amazing.
14:47: Might as well just link to the wikipedia page for Bill and Ben Video.
25:27: Go and watch Soylent Green instead of The Airzone Solution, it’s way more interesting.
25:56: Watching The Airzone Solution feels like being held at gunpoint buy you’re bored.
31:51: How to stage faint, for all you budding actors out there.
51:30: “In chemistry, a solution is a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances.” – Wikipedia User, 2???. The two components of a solution are a solute and solvent.
51:59: I went on AO3 and looked for “Airzone Solution” and actually found one f*cking fan fiction about The Airzone Solution. And it was published in 2020! Creepily enough, Arnie gets slapped by Ellie in this… with a wet sock. *Twilight Zone theme plays*
1:13:06: Which Peter? Blue Peter.
1:18:44: Really, actually starting in 15 minutes from when you heard us say this.
1:20:50: Check out Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast, our classic sci-fi podcast. It’ll be running (at some point) while Trust Your Doctor’s on hiatus.
1:21:04: The 2038 problem needs some levity added to it. Please, people. Start joking about this just to take the edge off how much it’ll suck when we get there.
1:25:52: I’m not saying you can watch The Airzone Solution for yourself on Tubi, but I’m not not saying that either.
1:27:20: Blow up canon or whatever, thank god we don’t have to paste this article anymore. Pretty sure I have it memorized now.
1:31:23: This is a reference to Battlefield.

Redux 14: Classic Who Ends with Furries ft Steven (Survival)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 35 minutes and 11 secondsI can’t believe this, furries are canon.
Ah the end of two eras, almost if it weren’t for the last minute decision we made that makes this not the final episode before the hiatus. Instead we return with a shitty TV movie in a week. No not that TV movie. Not the one you’re thinking of. It’s a different one. One that’s actually shitty. Anyway before then, it’s Survival, written by Rona Munro and aired from November 22 to December 6, 1989.
Show-notes:
2:33 Here’s that episode on where Steven last appeared, From Out of the Rain.
5:44: Remember that time that canon said we should blow up Christopher Eccleston?
12:42: We turn here to the Tardis Wiki for information on Love and War.
15:10: Yes, The Curator really is in the next UNIT boxset.
21:15: This Ace Time Lord Arc would eventually be borne out in the audio Thin Ice, which was an adaptation of a script from the unmade Season 27.
23:55: The full title of the novel is “The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman”.
24:43: I am reading off the page for racism on the Tardis Wiki.
26:00: I highly recommend people check out The Art of Self-Defense, if only because it’s just hilarious.
29:12: The Goosebumps intro.
32:20: Wayne’s World Dot Gif
33:18: Here’s the link to the [redacted] wikipedia page where you can verify my facts.
33:59: And here’s Flings for all of our non-South African audience members.
35:37: I’m not gonna link any of this food because it’s all disgusting.
49:00: This is a subtle reference to the latest (as of right now) episode of Steven’s podcast Delayed Replay, which Dylan and I were on. We discussed The Matrix 4, a.k.a. M4TRIX, which is definitely out right now in May 2021 and not coming later.
48:55: Planet of the Apes is a semi autobiographical story about…
50:37: A Hath, a Hath, my kingdom for a Hath.
1:12:43: What the f*ck did you just say f*cking say about me?
1:17:51: Jordan Peele dot gif. Also check out Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast, our classic sci-fi podcast.
1:20:08: McCallum was a British crime drama TV show that has no sci-fi elements.
1:27:29: Yes we still have a blog, and if you never looked at it you personally are the reason that we haven’t updated it recently.
1:29:30: Find Steven and his stuff at:
His site
Amazon (his novel)
Delayed Replay podcast
Star Trek Culture podcast
Intergalactic Peace Coalition Podcast
Doc Holocron’s Youtube channel
University of Sussex Doctor Who Society
Kiyan and Dylan were recently on his Delayed Replay episode. We discussed The Matrix 4, a.k.a. M4TRIX
1:31:52: The podcast is called Yes Shit, and you should go and check it out when it releases.

Redux 13: Radically Unfair Trial (Timelash)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 22 minutes and 54 secondsWe’re beyond just regular unfair trials now.
Honestly in hindsight revisiting this was a mistake. This was a completely nonsense episode to revisit. And it wasn’t even good! Like it was just bad! And yet for some reason we say down like “yeah you know what episode I wanna revisit, Timelash.” Somebody get the TARDIS and slap past us. It’s Timelash, written by Glen McCoy and aired from March 2nd through 6th, 1985.
Show-notes:
0:15: I left it in.
0:45: Find out if we liked Timelash the first time by listening to our original episode.
2:55: We revisited Mindwarp before we started Torchwood.
5:00: The Airzone Solution. Stay tuned in the episode for where I (Dylan) somehow get convinced into watching this in two weeks time.
5:40: Here are some links to JB’s podcasts, namely Who 37 and Bat 77.
10:17: I (Kiyan) (re)read The Time Machine by H.G. Wells in the time since we recorded this episode and (re)found out that the morlocks are a reference to the something in the book.
15:28: We covered Dance of the Dead on our other podcast, Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast.
22:14: Check out Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast, our Blake’s 7 podcast.
32:31: Here’s our episode on Blake’s 7’s City at the Edge of the World. This was all the way back in 2018. Man. Time flies.
33:15: The TARDIS wiki summary really does call Tekker “sycophantic”.
53:24: Here are the blog posts as promised: Sexism in the Time Machine and Bibliophilia: HG Wells Doesn’t Play Nice. Feel free to make your own determination.
57:28: The Bandrils really did say “screw this” and just invaded everyone.
1:08:01: Can’t believe we’ve mentioned and linked this article reporting that Christopher Eccleston said Doctor Who needs to explode the canon for 5,000 weeks in a row now.

Redux 12: PJ Hammond Would’ve Liked This Story (Enlightenment)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 29 minutes and 24 secondsPJ Hammond is underrated.
Kind of like how certain Doctor Who stories are underrated. Like The Sensorites. Or Carnival of Monsters. Both stories. Both typically rated under stories that they, for whatever reason outshine. Actually, I just made that up. I have no idea whether The Sensorites and Carnival of Monsters are generally beloved or not. Anyway, it’s Enlightenment, written by Barbara Clegg and aired from March 1st through 9th, 1983
Show-notes:
9:25: Matt Smith was the youngest actor to play the Doctor at the time of his debut.
11:55: I actually found a picture of the chess match in the story, and as it turns out Turlough is playing White and Tegan is playing Black.
18:50: Thankfully Wikipedia has a page explaining what “edutainment” is, and it sounds as corporate as the term itself.
19:33: Bill and Melinda Gates’ divorce is probably going to stay in the news cycle for a while as there are literally billions of dollars and an entire charitable foundation that all need to be sorted out.
20:02: The winner takes it all.
21:48: Poodlegate and that’s all I’ll say on it.
23:43: I couldn’t find any evidence that “doctor” meant “cook” on old ships.
29:51: As promised, our original episode on this was 131: Iron Chef Space.
39:47: I found a whole random little internet forum discussion about the pronunciation of wrath in different countries so that’s neat.
58:08: Time stands still. Thanks, Cambridge Dictionary.
57:54: We talked about Sapphire and Steel at length on our other podcast, Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast.
1:20:: Worry not dear listener, I have a link to the Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon right here.
1:27:27: Yeah we still have this blog thing. Hasn’t been updated in months but oh well.

Redux 11: Choose Sarcasm (Genesis of the Daleks)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 32 minutes and 21 secondsYou don’t choose sarcasm on a daily basis?
You’re missing out. Kind of like how we’ve missed out for the last 2,100 days on releasing an episode covering Genesis of the Daleks. Why are there no Doctor Who podcasts that only cover Genesis of the Daleks? The world may never know. Anyway, this week it’s Genesis of the Daleks, written by Terry Nation and aired from March 8 to April 12, 1975.
Show-notes:
2:20: We did go out in blaze of glory on our Blake’s 7 podcast Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast, which you should check out if you like podcasts, Blake’s 7, or podcasts on Blake’s 7.
2:35: it’s a good point.
15:15: Iron cross
16:15: Adolf Eichmann was one of the military organizers of the “Final Solution”, i.e. the genocide of Jewish people in Germany. Josef Mengele was one of the top scientists in the Nazi regime, performing untold countless atrocities “in the name of science” on prisoners in concentration camps.
48:09: The script for Genesis of the Daleks was released in The Scripts: Tom Baker 1974/5. Weirdly enough it’s on Amazon.
48:42: Here’s the Chakoteya transcript for this episode, I guess.
53:47: The image for Death to the Daleks on the TARDIS wiki actually kind of looks like a fan render and photoshop which is baffling because normally the wiki picks pretty good representative images.
56:56: Genesis of the Remembrance is pretty funny actually, I didn’t believe it at first.
1:20:23: Check out Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast.
1:21:20: The American Sherlock Holmes tv series was from 1954.
1:23:2: Leicester is just one of those British words that is pronounced nothing like how it’s spelled. Like Worcestershire.
1:26:00: The Airzone Solution
1:28:10: Don’t worry, turns out we actually know exactly why Peter Gabriel left Genesis.
