"If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!"

Series 1, Episode 10 - "Because something seems impossible. We try, it doesn't work, we try again. We learn, we improve, we fail again, but better, we make friends, we learn to trust, we help each other. We get it wrong again. We improve together, then ultimately succeed. Because this is what being alive is. And it's better than the alternative. So come on, you brilliant humans. We go again and we win. Deal?"

It’s that wibbly-wobbly stretch of the year when time feels a bit out of sync, so what better moment to dive into some classic Doctor Who time-loop chaos? To close out our Dalek deep-dive series, we’re ringing in the New Year a little early with Jodie Whittaker’s festive special, “Eve of the Daleks.” Host Mike has swapped the turkey sandwiches and leftover chocolates for the microphone one final time this year, joined by two fantastic returning guests for a truly international episode. From Germany comes our good friend Tobi, and calling in from the USA is our favourite filmmaker and fellow geek Michael Whaley. Our globe-spanning panel kicks things off with a Hit or Miss look at four previous festive specials before debating the best of the rest. Then it’s straight into the main event: a deep dive into “Eve of the Daleks,” covering the angry tin despots themselves, Yaz’s big reveal, the Groundhog Day-style structure, the guest stars, the criminally underused Dan Lewis, and more. We also take a peek at the critics’ reactions before offering our own highlights and final scores. So settle in, unwrap another chocolate, maybe skip the “beef and beans,” and warm up your voice for the Auld Lang Syne singalong by shouting at some Daleks as we wrap up the year with a bang. It’s not quite fireworks… but it’s definitely a celebration.

"YOU. ARE. SUCH. SNOW-FLAKES!"

Cinema Classics Number 22 - "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?"

“Merry Christmas, you beautiful old podcast!” It's here! Our Silver Screen Christmas Special this year lands with Cinema Classics as we dive into possibly the definitive holiday movie: Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life. Host Mike “Bailey” is joined by Guardian Angel-a, Sandy “Claus”, and Rob(in) Lunt for a bumper-length festive deep dive. We kick things off by chatting through our favourite Christmas films and regular seasonal viewing before exploring the origins of It’s a Wonderful Life—from its beginnings as a self-published booklet to its historical context, legacy, possible Muppet connections, and even why some at the FBI once frowned upon it. (Bah, humbug!) We unwrap the film’s themes, the messages that resonate today, and what makes it such an enduring seasonal favourite. There’s praise for Capra’s direction, the beautifully crafted sets, its emotional score, and the grounded performances—from James Stewart’s iconic turn, to Donna Reed’s underrated heart, to Lionel Barrymore’s despicably villainous Mr. Potter, and more. Finally, we close with critical context, our favourite elements, and our traditional ratings out of five heavenly stars. So grab a mince pie, put your feet up, ring a bell for Clarence, and enjoy this Christmas cracker of an episode.
