It’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 Doctor Who © The BBC Any other references belong to their respective owners, no copyright infringement is intended by this podcast.

Oh… this money wasn’t for me? 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.

Alternate title: It All Comes Back to Grapes 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 Doctor Who © The BBC Any other references belong to their respective owners, no copyright infringement is intended by this podcast.

It’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.

It’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) 1:35:30: Around 2:25 in this clip. The scene keeps a number of actors and props lucid despite the camerawork. 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.

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…. 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.

We 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...

I 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.

We 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.

Here’s the cover in all its squiggly awfulness by the way. Doctor Who © The BBC Any other references belong to their respective owners, no copyright infringement is intended by this podcast.

It’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 Doctor Who © The BBC Any other references belong to their respective owners, no copyright infringement is intended by this podcast.
