"Sexy Doctors"

Mark and Ben(!) invite longtime friend of the show Richie Morgan to submit his five choices for the tinsel tunnel. While Richie insists he's not come to bury RTD, many of his choices force the boys to consider what has and hasn't worked over the past three years. They also force this Timelash trio to ponder the following questions:

Why is Russell T Davies like Kim Jong Un?

Who is the Scottish goblin?

Why should Children in Need give back the money that was raised by Time Crash?

You can listen to I Hate Doctor Who here, and their live show will broadcast on July 2nd on YouTube.

Another episode from the OTTL vault, recorded way back in 2014.

"Episode #7 sees us discuss Steven Moffat’s debut story The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances which we compare with Robert Holmes’ first offering for Who, The Krotons. Does each story give us an idea of what to expect when both eventually graduate to the big role at the head of the series? And just how would the Tumblr community have reacted to Robert Holmes?"
