Advertise on podcast: Doctor Who: The Pharos Project Podcast

A mere two months late, we have a look at the 15th Doctor's debut in the 2023 Christmas special, "The Church on Ruby Road".

Fresh from an extended stay in the Balkans at His Majesty's pleasure, the Projecteers are back to look at the 60th anniversary Doctor Who gubbins. Brace for collision with a heady mix of unfiltered Who chat, middle aged people being confused by technology and good old fashioned vulgarity.

In a change of plans, we delve into the 1977 Doctor Who story "Image of the Fendahl". This episode is dedicated to Jasper, who was the best dog ever and who passed shortly before this recording. He is f*****g missed.

Ahoy, mateys! In this episode, Michael Caine has a shocker when he decides to take his horrendous child with him to investigate disappearances on the ocean waves. They run afoul of pirate David Warner, pirate Don Henderson off that bit in Star Wars and Pirate Tinker out of Lovejoy. It's 1980's "The Island".

Nothing says 80's movie like a huge fella nipping about and shooting people willy-nilly. Here, we talk about the daddy of them all, 1985's Commando. *This episode was recorded before the big Doctor Who casting news this week, which we all knew about anyway, but were sworn to secrecy.

Bonjour et bienvenue to a very French episode of the podcast. Join us as we watch "Brotherhood of the Wolf", a film about a French, horny, old time David Attenborough type fella chasing a monster around in the rain.

We are back again and as its still quite near the new year, we decided to talk about all the stuff we watched in 2021, including the Flux season of Doctor Who and other assorted guff. 

It's the long awaited return of Hammer to the podcast as we look at Frankenstein Created Woman starring the always brilliant Peter Cushing. No news this week so we dive straight into the movie.

This week Mr. Chris decided to unfairly punish Mr. Paul and Little Pete for no reason and make them watch Zardoz from 1974. The git. Movie review starts at 21 minutes.

Somehow, the powers that be have allowed Pete to survive another year of his tortured existence. To celebrate this we gave him a free choice of movie to watch for this episode (yes we did, don't argue) and he chose 1999's Ravenous. The weirdo. Movie review begins at 17 minutes.

After having to watch a right dog last episode, when we looked at a Stephen Sommers directed monster movie, we decided to do something entirely different. This time we are watching a monster movie that has been directed by Stephen Sommers, 1998's "Deep Rising". Movie review begins at 24 mins.

This was meant to be an episode where we chatted about a bland Jason Statham movie, but (mentioning no names) It was Pete ultimately decided that we should and Chris watch a Huge Action crap-fest from 2004. It's Van Helsing.
