Episode 109 - WHAT. THE F**K. WAS THAT?! What started as a podblast turned into a full episode, as Jon & Geoffrey dared to ask WHAT. THE F**K. WAS THAT?! regarding the authoritarian glazejob that was the World Cup draw. We also spend a lot o

Itself and the public school system.

You will be visited by three spirits

Yeah. I went in a little cynical and I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Liked the first episode, loved the second.

Looking for that uplifting Christmas spirit? We went to Torchwood to find ours…

7 Years Sober today.

Self Indulgent Video Disguised As Inspiration Alert!!!

(I wrote a blog two years ago about my fifth year of sobriety that some people said had been helpful. It’s on my website and easy to find if you want to see or share it).

People of a certain age will tell you estate agents don't get any better than this, but I prefer Turner & Cartmel.

Doctor Who and the Planet of the Daleks, by Terrance Dicks — I

Part I of an enormous post on Doctor Who and the Planet of the Daleks by Terrance Dicks, this one about why it *doesn’t* dovetail with Doctor Who and the Space War by Terrance’s pal Mac Hulke: 0tralala.blogspot.com/2025/12/doct... #booksky #books #doctorwho

Now of the opinion that the HONK HONK MOTHERFUCKERS line is the sole justification for the existence of Geese.

It’s a properly nasty one isn’t it? I genuinely couldn’t say any writer had particularly failed in the decade, so I went with my Grand Unified Theory of <SPOILER DELETED> as my big swing.

Did the first RTD era ever go too far and forget it was family entertainment? Join JR, @jonarnold.bsky.social, @mattbarberuk.bsky.social and @stephenhatcher.bsky.social to find out...

If you can’t indulge yourself with some madness on your own charter flight, when can you…

Your moment to shine as the voice of the Taran Wood Beast is surely imminent.

Redub it with the Shearman Myrka.

Reckon that he’ll get there sometime in 2027 or 2028 bat injury or the world ending.

Then again, he could probably even cover drive an apocalypse.

Joe Root: “Cricket? Completed it mate.”

❗️ Coming Friday ❗️
Wonderful @jonarnold.bsky.social jumps back on the bus, and takes his Charter Flight to who knows where…

No spoilers, but the images below give a few hints

It’s a trip you won’t want to miss. Includes Jon talking about “The joy of the fuzz”!!! What can he mean? 😂

Transit is a Christmas film.

A rich, heady brew of sex, political detail, history, unknowable slathering horror, Gothic atmosphere and the absence left in the universe by the destruction of Gallifrey...but what will Joe & @onthetimelash.bsky.social make of it?

Didn’t remember/realise this is a Christmas record.

Terrific player. Last time I saw him was a B&H Cup game at Sophia Gardens: we were sat above the dressing rooms, he got out cheaply and after he’d taken the long walk back you could hear the bat thrown across the changing room. Still had high standards even then.

It is possibly in either of Paul’s essays in Time Unincorporated 2 or 3? Not sure where my copies are right now but I’ll see if I can dig them out.

The Abominable Snowmen “In the meadow, we can build a snowman…” In the 1980s more of Doctor Who was missing than is the case today. Not just in that nearly two dozen episodes have...
