'Last Christmas'

Merry Christmas, WHINECAST listeners!


But was it really christmas, or just one of your fruity cheese dreams? That's the question on everyone's minds this week , as we reconvene after our traditional festive stuffing to discuss this year's Doctor Who Christmas special.


It's no secret that the Christmas special is often a patchy experience...we've had the whole range, from great, to decent, to downright awful. So where does this year's entry, 'Last Christmas', fall?


There's Nick Frost's turn as the jolly man in the red suit, there's Capaldo on fine grumpatron form - and there's the blessed news that we won't be saying goodbye to Clara for at least one more series - but are these enough to make this a Christmas cracker to remember?


You know what to do!

‘The Christmas Invasion'

It turns out the only North this planet has is the North Pole - as this week Russell T Dog has decided he’s sick of Northern Soul and wants a bit of Cockney Geezer - and by ‘neck, he’s gonna use Christmas to do it!


Yep, it’s a big moment for the Rewatch Podcast as we’re peering outside and noting that our garden is covered in a beautiful blanket of ash, meaning that it’s time for Davey Tennant to step into his converse and usher in a brand new age for the revived Who.



But what do we make of the show’s first ever Xmas special? Does it stand the test of time? Is keeping the Doctor (or Doctor Who as *some* like to call him) offscreen for so long a brave, or idiotic move? Will Jackie and Mickey continue their affair right under Rose’s nose? All these questions and more will be answered in this week’s festive edition of the Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast!

'Bad Wolf' & 'The Parting of the Ways'

It's a doublé!


Yep, for the first and probably only time, we're releasing two editions of the Rewatch Podcast at once! Are we doing this because it's a two parter? Because it's the finale? Because it's the grand goodbye to Ecclescake (since he didn't return)? 


No - it's all because we want to schedule things so that we can do 'The Christmas Invasion' at, uh, Christmas! But before we welcome old Davey T on the scene, we have to bid goodbye to the one hit wonder that is the Ninth Doctor - and by 'eck, it's been a hell of a run!


So, ready your death rays, owe Rodrigo a favour and pull a gun out of your arse - it's time to wave a fond farewell to Peter Ecclestone!

'Boom Town'

Boom!

Yes, the Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast is returning (unlike Peter Ecclestone) for another trip in the TARDIS, but would you believe it, the Doctor's gone and forgot to load this mother up with space petrol, so we're gonna be taking a bit of a pit-stop this week as the gang use the raw, elemental power of The Welsh to repower their Time Vehicle.


Of course, that's not all that's on the agenda. We've got plenty of opportunity to make Micky feel excluded, to flirt with men, women and Slitheen - and possibly to turn some woman into an egg because the TARDIS, much like Jimmy Savile, can grant wishes now.



It's one of the more low key episodes of the series, but the question is whether or not it's underrated. Do the stellar performances and moral quandaries put 'Boom Town' in the category of unrecognised classic? Or is this episode just lacking a bit of, well, boom? There's only one way to find out!

'The Doctor Dances'

Oh, what a lovely war!


Yes, after our hiatus to delve into the world of CAPALDO, we're getting back on the horse with Peter Ecclestone right where we left off - awkwardly in the middle of a two parter!


And it's almost as if the ghost of the Capaldi era has come back with us, as it's only a Stevie Moffat special -so as you can imagine there's loads of sex, smut, innuendo and filth. Yep, tensions are rising this week (SEXUAL tensions) as Captain Jack arrives on the scene, leaving Rose with the difficult decision of whether she would better destroy Mickey's soul by sleeping with Jack, the Doctor or Jack and the Doctor.


Who shall she pick? The pretty boy or the bit of rough? Oh, and something about some little boy ending the world happens as well, allegedly.

'Death in Heaven'

Inconceivable!

Yep, although it feels approximately ten minutes since we were sat in the cinema to watch the CAPALDO debut with Deep Breath, it's apparently 12 or so weeks later, because here we are at the finale!


Carrying on form the distinctly Murky Water seen in last week's cracking episode we're faced with an extended 55-minute conclusion to the first 'Master' story in five years. But will this extended running time result in the episode having more room to breathe than certain other Moffat conclusions (we're looking at you, 'Wedding of River Song')?


More importantly, will this be the cherry on the cake of a strong freshman year for CAPALDO, or an unfortunate conclusion to an otherwise enjoyable run? Will Clara (aka Wideface) survive the series? Will The Master have a plan that makes the least bit of sense?


Find out - in the new Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast!

'Dark Water'

Well!


That was an uneventful episode, wasn't it? LOLZ JK, it was totally action packed. With it being the first part of the two part finale, it's hard to know how careful to be on the old spoilers front, as we on the podcast would hate to be responsible for ruining any surprises for folk - but what we will say is that the podcast itself is as spoilerific as it comes, so for Lord's sake, don't listen to a word of our ramblings until you've seen the episode through to the very end (as if you would).

Spoilers aside, we had a hell of a part one to enjoy this week, with the show taking some chances in choosing to tackle some pretty horrific subjects head on, maybe more so than ever before.


How it will all play out is anyone's guess at this point (possibly including Moffat), but one thing's for sure, Capaldi's first series is having a conclusion to remember!

'In The Forrest of the Night'

If you go down to the woods to the woods tonight you're in a for a big surprise - because there's an eccentric Scotsman loudly enthusing about trees to anyone who'll listen!


Yep, it's the last episode of the series before the two part finale kicks off its inevitable fireworks and in the meantime, it's time for some housekeeping, as the Doctor has let them weeds get right out of hand! So, we're armed with a hell of a concept, more wavey hands than even Matt Smith would approve of and the terror that is inherent in dealing with both children AND animals!


We might be a bit late with our review this week (we have social lives, honest!), but we had a blast joining Capaldo and Wideface in the Night Garden, so we hope you'll brush the vines aside, find a spare patch of soil and help us uncover one mother of an insurance scam!

'Flatline'

Welcome back, Whovians!

Yep, CAPALDI's freshman year marches on relentlessly and this week we're treated to what is almost certainly the 'Doctor Light' episode of the year, but one that's executed in a particularly ingenious way. Though the question is did the unusual format lift this week's episode high, or did things fall FLAT?


One thing's for certain, if the episode didn't rock your boat, it's not for lack of content. We've got Clara taking on the role of The Doctor generating both LOLZ and pushing her towards her almost certain exit in the finale, we've got interesting visual effects coming out of our arse and we've got the world's most unpleasant man (The Twelfth Doctor) getting on his high horse about Wideface telling a few porky pies!


One more thing, listeners - please note that from around 45 minutes onwards we talk about the widely publicised presence of a certain villain in this year's finale. Now, although this information was all over the Internet and the BBC's own Who material, you may well not know about things, so please do proceed with caution!

'Mummy on the Orient Express'

All aboard!

Yes, it's time for yet another entry in the Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast and this time we are taking to the stars for Doctor Who's reimagining of 'Under Siege 2' - 'Mummy on the Orient Express'!



There's ALL kinds of stuff cracking off this week, from fabulous dresses, teleporting mummies, transforming trains and the most truly alarming villain a person can ever face - a mystery shopper.


But do all these cooks spoil the broth? Are we delivered a tasty stew or a salmonella soup? Most importantly, can Clara pull off a bob? Find out the answer to all these questions and several more - in this week's Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast!

'Moon The Kill'

Is it Easter already? The answer, of course, is no. But it is time for another eggs-cellent adventure for Capaldo and Wideface as they take to space once again, this time deciding to bring a young girl with them, a girl who can't possibly give informed consent for the terrifying trials she's expected to take part in!


But, despite the obvious mega lolz inherent in that, things aren't all smooth sailing in the TARDIS. Indeed, rumours are swirling that Clara might think the Doctor is 'a bit of a prick'. So, is it true, or should Clara just stop running her mouth off and learn her place?


Join the WHINECAST boys as we take the TARDIS gang to couples counselling and ask - will they stay together for the kids?

'The Caretaker'

Ah, school days are the best days of your life - or so they say - and that's clearly the case for well renowned time traveller Doctor 'The Doctor' Who , as he's chosen to go back there and fight the forces of evil with just his wits and a broom!


So, after last week's relatively disappointing episode, will Capaldo strike back to prove that he has ALWAYS been the caretaker here? Well, signs are on his side. He's teaming up with romantic duo Wideface and Pinko, he's wearing his horrible spangly jumper, and his laying down surveillance equipment with the enthusiasm that only an old loner maintenance man truly can.


But with all these positive signs, does the episode deliver? Are the LOLZ many and varied? Find out, with this week's Doctor Who Rewatch Podcast!

'Time Heist'

After the moody, cerebral 'Listen' we're heading in a distinctively different direction for this week's Who adventure. It's 'Mission: Impossible' meets 'Ocean's 11'meets....something or other, but the big question is - does it work?



Well, it's all happening! There's monsters, a foxy headmistress, times wimpy stuff, silent bombs, make-up criticism - it's all here! So, will this tapestry of elements result in a delightful stew, or a toxic sludge?


Without dropping any spoilers, we know where we stand, so it's time for you to get onboard the train!
