You Will Be Like Us
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 7 minutes and 6 secondsAfter a short hiatus, during which we focused our attention on...well, other stuff, we return with a fun-packed and booze-soaked discussion of "The Tomb of the Cybermen", also none as "The One That Was Found in a Church Basement". There's hand-holding, computer mice, and racism. In other words, just another evening at The TARDIS Tavern.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 26 minutes and 58 secondsSean and Steve are joined by Mike Erickson of DFW Whofest who serves up a helping of tea and shade talking about his personal experiences running cons. SEE Peter Davison eat a whole bowl of queso! HEAR Mark Strickson drunkenly slur his words! SMELL Colin Baker in the sweltering Texas heat!
Oh, and we may just have time in the end to talk about "Kill the Moon". (Spoilers: IT'S ABOUT ABORTION!)

Episode 163: In the Nursery
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 33 minutes and 26 secondsThis episode Steve and Sean are joined by guest bartender Stephen Webb of The Coal Hill A/V Club podcast, who chose quote the morsel for them to suck on and ingest: "The Ultimate Foe", the final Sixth Doctor story.
True, it's only two episodes long, but there is so so soooo much to talk about here. Is "The Ultimate Foe" a cacophony of style and celebration? Or is it just an old, dried-up piece of hard candy, dropped on the carpet and covered with hair and ants? Listen in and find out?

Episode 162: DFW Whofest and an Evening with Mark Strickson
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 34 minutes and 39 secondsSeeing that the time had lapsed on those temporary restraining orders, we ventured outside our homes once again and attended another convention, DFW Whofest 4 in Dallas. This episode we talk about some of our experiences with friends as well as guests at the convention, followed by a recording of the "TARDIS Tavern Live" in which we were permitted to spend an hour with Mark Strickson (he's the one who played Turlough during the Fifth Doctor era) under close supervision of hotel security. Listen in as we wax nostalgic about the highs and lows of the weekend!

Episode 161: This Be Scringestone
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 21 minutes and 27 secondsDo you ever get that feeling, as you're leaving the house to go to work, that you forgot something? Maybe it's your car keys, or maybe it's your briefcase, or maybe it's the very thing that holds all of time and space together and is the key to all that is good and evil? That's what the White Guardian must have felt just minutes before "The Ribos Operation" took place.
Is "The Ribos Operation" another brilliant Robert Holmes triple act? Or is it not even worth its weight in jethrik? Listen in as we discuss!

Episode 160: Cat Flap
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 5 minutes and 21 secondsAfter thinking very, very hard and very, very long, we've decided to stay on tract and continue churning out episodes about Doctor Who rather than fulfill our shared lifetime fantasy of doing a Columbo podcast (turns out there's just too many of them out there).
We decided to start fresh with the conclusion of what many fans (and the BBC) think of as a rotten time in the show's history: Series 26. That's right, it's cats and boys in short shorts: "Survival". Is this story the cat's pajamas? Or does it belong in a litter box? Listen and find out!

Episode 1: The Bye-Bye Sky High I.Q. Murder Case
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 9 minutes and 18 secondsAfter eight years of doing a podcast, people email us or come up to us at conventions and ask, "Hey when are you going to do that one episode?" And then we're like, "Which one?" And they're like, "You know, that one!"
Well, this is that episode.

Episode 158: I Am Your Servant
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 23 minutes and 48 secondsWay back in Episode 17, we covered "The Power of the Daleks" and proclaimed that this was the serial to find if there ever was one to be found. Seven years later, it still hasn't been found, but the fine folks at the BBC Worldwide slaved over a hot desk for a very long time to animate all six episodes of Patrick Troughton's first story.
That gave us the perfect opportunity to watch the story in its new incarnation, and decide whether animation is the gateway to a new era of Doctor Who or if we should just hold on to those CDs of "Marco Polo" and "The Savages" we've had for years. So, without further ado, listen in as we discuss the merits of "The Power of the Daleks"!
We're lonely and need feedback. You can send it to tardistavern@gmail.com and also follow Sean on send him hate mail in 140 characters or less via @tardistavern.

Episode 157: Transmission of Matter Through Interstitial Time
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 11 minutes and 54 secondsThere are those stories that are widely reviled like "The Twin Dilemma" and "Delta and the Bannermen". Then there are those that exist on the underbelly, those whose creators will deny the existence of to this day, those that belong in the dustbin with "The Macra Terror".
"The Time Monster" is one such story. Rumor has it that any "Doctor Who" story with the word "time" is doomed to failure; "The Time Warrior" is one exception, while "The Time Monster" has a special place in the producers' file cabinet filed under W for "What Were We Thinking?" Clearly, these are spoilers for what we think of the story, but sometimes the fun is just in poking fun, isn't it?

Episode 156: Arrest the Scarf
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 13 minutes and 44 secondsAfter recovering from our recent adventure with the Game Master, we're back to our usual hijinks with a look at the one Doctor Who story that is considered to have the best soundtrack ever: "The Leisure Hive", ironically named because the only hive to be seen in the story are the hairdos.
Is this a masterpiece that signaled the beginning of the John Nathan-Turner era? Or does the mere mention of it make Smurfberry Crunch fall from your head? Listen in and find out!
There was no feedback this episode, which makes us sad because we know you fuckers are downloading this shit. Email us at tardistavern@gmail.com and maybe we'll send you a lifetime supply of chocolate.

Episode 155: The Game Master's Master Plan
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 11 minutes and 34 secondsOur intrepid heroes are visited once again by Josh Zimon (of the Doctor Who: The High Council podcast), but the merriment is cut short when he tears away his disguise to reveal that he is none other...than the Game Master! [Insert thunder here.]

Episode 154: Don't be Such a Babydoll!
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 29 minutes and 14 secondsAh, the 1940's. The War. The fashions. The big band music. And the water zombies. Will the Doctor and Ace be able to play their next move in the so-called "Cartmel Master Plan", or will Fenric reign supreme?
Spoiler: The Doctor and Ace defeat Fenric. But is the voyage there yet another cheesy jaunt in the Seventh Doctor's era, or is this the masterpiece that some fans say it is? Listen in as we discuss it.
If you email us, we will send you an Amazon gift card (some restrictions apply). If you email us audio feedback, we'll play it! Send it to tardistavern@gmail.com. Also, look for us on Facebook and follow Sean as he sends drunk tweets at 3:00 a.m. via @tardistavern.

Episode 153: Dawn of the Mawdryn Undead
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 36 minutes and 22 secondsAfter shitting all over Steven Moffat, we're back! And we want to cleanse our palette with a classic Who story from the Davison era, "Mawdryn Undead". There's exposed brains, time travel, disgusting bodies, Tegan, Nyssa, a guy with a crow on his head, and a traitorous redhead who talks to his hand. Joining us is Phil from the Braving Babylon 5 podcast, who graciously stayed up into the wee hours in England to put up with our drunk asses.
In the name of all that is evil, give it a listen and find out if it goes down as smoothly as an undead alien gliding through a recreational spaceship, or if it's as ridiculous as mistaking any old charred corpse for Peter Davison. Spoiler: opinions differ! Tempers flare! Garbo laughs!

Episode 152: Say Something Nice
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 14 minutes and 13 secondsAfter exploring the depths of "The Underwater Menace", our heroes jump ahead to the current era of Doctor Who to talk about Steve once coined "a generic Capaldi two-parter". That's right, it's "Dark Water" and "Death in Heaven", the dramatic conclusion to one of the most beloved series of the program ever.
Why isn't Dr. Chang Chinese? What's so dreadful about St. Paul's Cathedral? Is Peter Capaldi with the big hair or the short hair? All the questions and more might be answered in our latest episode!

Episode 151: Nuzzing in zee Vorld
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 1 minutes and 48 secondsTime has, for the most part, come to the end of the DVD range of Doctor Who. And it ended, some would say, not with a bang but with a whimper...with the recently found missing episode of "The Underwater" menace, the BBC was quick to capitalize on their new find by quickly releasing the story on DVD. Is this the new "Enemy of the World"? Or should "The Underwater Menace" be tossed into the Time Lash?
Listen in as we discuss preposterous fish people, sonic mining, the trouble with triple companions, and what may be one of our favorite villains of all time.

Episode 146: The Singing Towers of Darrillium
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 1 minutes and 30 secondsPutting things back on track, our heroes find themselves immersed in the world of politics. To distract themselves, they go back to the topic they planned on discussing when we last met them: "Silence in the Library" and "Forest of the Dead", written by Steven Moffat and featuring the Tenth Doctor and Donna. And, since they really enjoy celebrating Christmas in February, they also dip their little piggies into "The Husbands of River Song".
Also, news and stuff that was probably covered more thoroughly by other podcasts weeks ago.

Episode 141: Salvation and Damnation
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 59 minutes and 12 secondsThe time has come once again to circle back to something new in the world of Doctor Who, so we decided to go for something extremely divisive and controversial.
No, we won't be talking about "Daleks in Manhattan" (at least not yet), but rather the Second Series episode "Love and Monsters", featuring (sort of) the Tenth Doctor and Rose, a guy named Elton, and an alien that represents every troll that has ever made any Doctor Who fan group unfun.
Is "Love and Monsters" a droll piece of crap that should have been flushed down Russell T. Davis' loo? Or is it a great symbolic romp with so much beneath that cheesy surface? Take a listen and find out what we think!

Episode 140: Radiation Gloves
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 2 minutes and 45 seconds51 years before Clara climbed inside of a Dalek, Ian Chesterton did the same thing. The Daleks of yesteryear didn't fly, travel in time or space, and relied on static electricity to get around. This time around we settle on an all-too-familiar planet and discuss "The Daleks", the story that started Britain's obsession with the exterminating pepper pots. Does "The Daleks" stand the test of time, or is it as clunky as William Hartnell's line bloopers?

In actuality, we spared ourselves the task of actually doing homework and put all the burden on Josh Zimon, host of the podcasts Doctor Who: The High Council and The Memory Cheats. Will our heroes know enough about Doctor Who to escape unscathed? Or will their ignorance lead to their demise?

Also, there's listener feedback read by Steve in a funny voice followed by peals of laughter. Really, we needed that month's rest!

Episode 137: The One with the Farting Aliens
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 9 minutes and 11 secondsSo it's come to this. We have a small handful of stories left in the Ninth Doctor's era to cover, and eventually we would have to talk about the maligned episodes "Aliens of London" and "World War Three". Does it deserve the eye-rolling that occurs every time this story is brought up in polite company? Or are all those fart fumes just a smoke screen for what is actually a solid alien invasion story? Listen in and see.
In other events, the gentlemen find themselves trapped a few years in the earth's past thanks to the vortex manipulator...where will it take them next? Also...A CONTEST!

Episode 136: Remember Your Varicose Veins
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 1 minute and 0 secondsBecause the Fourth Doctor is awesome. Because we can't get enough of seeing Leela. Because stories involves witches and rubbery monsters in English mansions seem to call to us. It's our take on "Image of the Fendahl", in which the Doctor must fight an unspeakable horror from his home world. Or something like that.
If you'd like to explain to us what this story was about, you can email us at tardistavern@gmail.com or look us up on Facebook. Also, you can follow Sean on Twitter via @tardistavern (you can't follow Steve on Twitter because he's a poo-head and hasn't logged in for three years).

Episode 135: When Sydney Met Verity
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 9 minutes and 26 secondsThe 50th anniversary of Doctor Who brought us a literal trifecta for the fans on the big as well as the small screens. There was, obviously, "The Day of The Doctor", Peter Davison's The Fiveish Doctors, and the BBC docudrama An Adventure in Space and Time.
For those of you that haven't been listening to this podcast for the last year and a half, we both think An Adventure in Space and Time is pretty much required viewing for anyone with a pulse, let alone anyone who has the slightest bit of interest in Doctor Who. So please listen in as we talk about William Hartnell, Verity Lambert, Sydney Newman, and the genesis of the show we've dedicated so much time to.
