Time Ram goes into the shower alone and encounters Colin Baker’s ‘The Curse of Fenric’. In the process, we discover serious over-writing, Takis and Lilt, Mountain Dew, Jacques Cousteau and slippery babies!

Time Ram enjoys a cup of tea with two lumps (and sugar) as we take on the famously unfinished Shada, finishing it off with Patrick Troughton. Oh well, at least it’s festive, what with Jamie’s deadly porridge pot, long actresses and a song from Kamelion.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Time Ram gets in touch with its inner Chibnall as we zhuzh up ’42’, promoting it from the Tennant era to Davison! Ok, so we lose Freema Agyeman, but we gain popstars a-plenty and JNT’s most inexplicable decision. Also: Beryl Reid in a sweaty vest! What’s not to love?

Time Ram becomes relentlessly grandiloquent as we examine ‘The Two Doctors’ which has now been displaced to star Jodie Whittaker and Paul McGann! Helmets Off, tongues out and don’t miss Fuzzy Mist at the end!

Available in both Video and Audio formats!

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...

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 faces what cold be our biggest challenge yet as we force Patrick Troughton into ‘Rogue’ – the recent Ncuti Gatwa episode! Featuring Doctor Who’s first spin off, Bridgerton Venn-diagrams, Inspector Macra and vibrating sporrans!

Time Ram really needs to talk about Styre, as we take Tom Baker’s ‘The Sontaran Experiment’ and thrust it into the David Tennant era! Get more Chameleon as we discover Aldwych, space metal, Tim Roth, heather and Blue Peter. All together now: mickey mickey mickey mickey…

Time Ram shakes the magic 8-ball and finds a Pyramid at the End of the World, but starring Christopher Eccleston instead of Peter Capaldi. There’s Rose on steroids, fun marines and secretary general Wigner to enjoy! Plus, we must have a chat about lab safety protocols.

It’s the end… and the moment hasn’t been prepared for, as Time Ram takes Sylvester McCoy’s final TV story ‘Survival’ and drags it hissing and scratching into the era of Tom Baker. Plus the Master is back, but no-one can recognise him because he’s dressed as a bush!

Christopher Eccleston’s first episode ‘Rose’ was broadcast 20 years ago, but Time Ram takes it back another 30 years to 1975, as we recondition the story and adapt for Tom Baker. Join us as we discuss non-specific wars, CSO fringes and Derek Griffiths!

Time Ram reviews The Doctor's Wife as made for Paul McGann in the 90s! In the process, we observe early Wirrns, CGI swirly balls, JNT's office and screaming Bovril. Could we have caught up with the Doctor's father, Ulysses? One thing's for sure: Time Lords are weird.
