About Time | A Doctor Who Podcast: Recent Episodes
Stephen Alexander
Stephen’s been a Doctor Who fan since 2005. His boyfriend Ben’s never seen it before, and is highly sceptical! Join them as they journey through 21st century Who.
Ben finally meets Clara (or a version of her, anyway), and is thrilled to see a return of the Green Lady and her Lesbian Love. He also treats us to a Doctor Who themed version of Old MacDonald.

How long is too long to wait for a library book? Does a cushion become a pillow if you take it upstairs? And most importantly, what sort of a man doesn't carry a trowel? Apologies for the HP reference in the title - JKR is evil and we don't support her.

Hello Patrons! Here is a little something exclusive for you. 20 years ago today, the evil pepper-pots from Skaro (or one of them, anyway) returned to our screens, thrillingly reinvented for the 21st century, and yet unmistakably the same. To mark this anniversary, we have rewatched 2005's "Dalek" (which happened to be one of Ben's favourite episodes!) and recorded a special commentary track.We highly recommend listening to the track in sync with the episode (there is a countdown after our introduction). This will eliminate any awkward silences where we got too engrossed in the episode to speak!We hope you enjoy this, and if you'd like to hear more episode commentaries, let us know!

Please welcome back to the podcast our first returning guest, the wonderful Mike from Who Gives A Flux! We discuss the 2023 Christmas special, The Church on Ruby Road.
Mike became a Doctor Who fan with the show’s return in 2005. Ever since, it’s been a constant in his life, culminating in the birth of Who Give A Flux, Mike’s Doctor Who podcast where he discusses with fans their Duds and Studs, amongst other spacey and weird things. His current favourite seasons are 4, 10 and 11… but he’s not committing to an order just yet.

Joining me this week to discuss "The Giggle" is Aaron, a longtime listener and friend of the pod! Aaron got into Doctor Who back in 2005 at the age of 7 and has been fan ever since. He started to fall off during the Capaldi era but has since come to adore it. His favourite episode is The Husbands of River Song, and favourite Doctor/companion duo is Nine and Rose. Aaron is also a part time streamer who plays games on Twitch!

Today, Stephen is delighted to be joined by friend of the pod, Ianto! We discuss the second 60th anniversary special, Wild Blue Yonder.
Ianto has been a Doctor Who fan since childhood, one of his earliest memories being dressing as a cardboard Dalek for a village gala (swipe to see!). He properly got trapped in the vortex at the age of 15 when the show relaunched in 2005, and cannot wait for the new, new era!

Stephen is joined by an old friend, Nick, to discuss the first of the 60th Anniversary specials: The Star Beast! Recorded before the other two specials had aired, hence the small amount of speculation.
Nick became an avid Doctor Who fan during the original 2005 revival series. Doctor Who became an absolute pinnacle to his life and inspired him greatly in everything that he did creatively. Nick enjoyed creating his own fan series of Doctor Who, including an audio play with Stephen playing River Song. With the return of his favourite Doctor, David Tennant for the 60th anniversary specials, it is a great honour to reunite with Stephen and discuss the show revisiting a point in the show’s history that they both so warmly remember in The Star Beast.

Another guest episode, and one for the music lovers! This week, Stephen is joined by Robin LaPasha to discuss the music of Doctor Who, and the 60th Anniversary concert which recently aired.
Robin lives in the USA, and got into Doctor Who back when the classic series was airing on US public television. When the 2005 revival started, she was hooked on the new era’s episodes, and particularly with Murray Gold’s music for the show. For the last 17 years or more, Robin and Stephen have been discussing Doctor Who music. Between 2011-2016 they co-ran the Doctor Who Fan Orchestra, a virtual ensemble of fans playing music from the show via the internet.

Mike became a Doctor Who fan with the show’s return in 2005.
