The Randomiser: Unpredictable Doctor Who Chat Tim Reid & Charles Auchterlonie

    • TV & Film

Random chat about Doctor Who and any other topic that arises from two long term Doctor Who fans.

    Episode 40: Wilderness Baby

    Episode 40: Wilderness Baby

    A bigenerated extra episode recorded the day after The Giggle aired!



    We’re joined by Stefan Adegbola - Bola - actor, child of the wilderness years and newfound friend from Tim’s recent show “Quiz”. We begin climbing the mountain of things to discuss: meandering around the foothills a bit, getting a cable car to the top of the Giggle, and skiing down precarious slopes of old Doctor Who. 



    The first conversation of many, we hope, and likewise we hope for fewer mountain metaphors in future. Why use them? Because they’re there.



    Spoilers warnings for


    all episodes of Doctor Who up to and including The Giggle
    Torchwood, Children of Earth

    Episode 35: Cosy Teatime Apocalypse

    This time we're raising hell, talking lingo and generally wittering on more than ever before, but somewhere in there is a bit of chat about Doctor Who - the recent trailer for the 60th Anniversary specials, and we delve back to discuss The Doctor's love life. And toilet habits. Oh dear.

    Spoiler warning for all Doctor Who up to and including The Power of the The Doctor, also for Day of the Triffids (1980s version) and The Tomorrow People stories "Revenge of Jedekiah" and "One Law".
    A content note for our discussion of Day of the Triffids which references abuse and generally people being pretty nasty, it's that sort of Apocalypse...
