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...

Unlimited rice pudding for all, as Time Ram takes Remembrance of the Daleks and smooshes the 12th Doctor into it, finding out why creepy schoolgirls are invisible to businessmen, and what Dalek Putey thought about his political downfall. Grab a Runcible Spoon and dig in!

Time Ram cracks on with ‘Genesis of the Daleks’, now starring Jodie Whittaker and the fam! Or most of them. What are Temmosus’ parental issues? Who were Davros’ design team? Have you met Sevrin’s little friend? All this and how to liven up your sex life!

Time Ram gets a bit hot and sweaty as we take Peter Capaldi's 'Empress of Mars' and re-jig for the Colin Baker era! Join us as we explore TV Centre, pod off from Gerry Anderson and try out some man-servant-splaining. All this, plus Macra! Yes, really. Maybe.

Time Ram examines comedy as we take William Hartnell’s ‘The Romans’ and re-imagine it for the David Tennant era. Dressing gowns! Dick pics! Danny Dyer! This story has it all, but don’t you find yourself wishing it had more creepy Nimons? Solved! You’re welcome.

Time Ram goes back in time as we drag Ncuti Gatwa into Eccleston’s ‘Father’s Day’. It will all end in tears as we set up Omega Deliveries, Noughties shorthand and the trouble with dial-up! Join us to answer vital questions such as: which Doctor would win in a fight?

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.

It's Time Ram, the Doctor Who podcast that gives discontinuity a try with 'Deep Breath' but now starring Patrick Troughton! So we must establish who wasn't Polly's boyfriend, what you can achieve with the right hat and how to build London on 25p and a pasty.

By that argument, a bank robber is providing a public service, because the report of his crime is providing free advertising for the bank, which legitimate customers 'may' choose to bank with.

Time Ram brings Peter Capaldi's era bang up to date with 1965's 'The Rescue'! And if that doesn't get you excited (which seems unlikely) there's also Benny Hill, dodgy magazines, Barbara's crash mat and time toilets to deal with! Now you're excited. And you should be!

Time Ram gets all giddy as we turn our attention to 1965’s ‘The Web Planet’ and transpose it into the Colin Baker era! Excitement or oxygen deprivation? You decide! Meanwhile, we get to enjoy an Optera soap opera, comfy spacesuits and an excess of Husperon.
