Doctor Who - The Highlanders

Episode seven of series 10, commentated through by @Feexby23 and @Loll73.   "It would be rude not to."

Loll and John (The Highlanders, ayeeeee) chat through episode six of series ten: Extremis.   If we were smart people we'd have remembered that another of Tom Lehrer's songs is The Vatican Rag, but this isn't that kind of podcast.   Also our celebrity-mention curse appears this week to have extended to Roger Moore, and we couldn't be more sorry.   Night night, Sir Roger. We will miss you.

Series ten, episode five. The episode called oxygen, to which we can only say "O!"   Join @Feexby23 and @Loll73 as we blah on endlessly about how bloody good Doctor Who is at the moment.

Episode four of series ten of the programme we quite like, Doctor Who.   Knock Knock.   Sorry about all the yawning...    

The nice Thin Ice.   We The Highlanders, @Feexby23 and @Loll73, chat through the third episode of Series 10 of the programme we quite like, Doctor Who.   Contains scenes of mild buffering from the outset.

An episode commentary for series ten, episode two: Smile.   We can be found at @Feexby23 and @Loll73 on Twitter, or just hanging around minding our own business in Inverness.

Doctor Who is back on the telly! Let John (@Feexby23) and Loll (@Loll73) lead you gently, and somewhat erratically, through the first episode of the new series of Doctor Who: The Pilot.   The macaroons were lovely.    

Helloooooo, nice lady and gentleman at home. What's that coming over the hill? New bloody Doctor Who, that's what. As a limbering up exercise John (@Feexby23) and Lawrence (@Loll73) have a good old go at Doctor Who Da Movie from the olden days of 1996. It's pretty awesome, it turns out.   Oh, and we're called The Highlanders now. Everybody got that? The Highlanders.

It's the end, but it may come as no surprise to learn that it has not been remotely prepared for. Join us (@Feexby and @Loll73) as we natter our way through the frankly sublime series 9 closing episode, Hell Bent. As for the cakes, they were stollen. Except we did pay for them...

Best. Episode. Ever. Was it? It's certainly a bit brilliant. Join us, John and Lawrence, as we have a ponder and a bit of a chat about Series 9, Episode 11 Heaven Sent. See whether or not you agree with our thoughts about the episode's antecedents, and participate in our general flummoxedness about what is going to happen next.

Traumatic, wasn't it? Let John and Loll take you by the hand and lead you through a street of London in this, the antepenultimate podcast of Doctor Who Series 9.

Is that a speck of dust in your ear? An episode commentary for Doctor Who Series 9, Episode 9 Sleep No More. This podcast was pieced together from footage found in what was left of Lawrence's house after the unanticipated interruption of The Oilman!

Distracted by Lego, and bumbazed by complex moral conundrums John and Lawrence (@Feexby and @Loll73) nevertheless still make it through a commentary for Doctor Who Series 09 Episode 08, The Zygon Inversion. Two thirds of the way through this series already, hmm? How the bloody heck did that happen? 

The Zygon Invasion! It's like that time there was an Invasion Of The Zygons! Remember that back in the 70s, 80s? Doctor Who In An Exciting Adventure With Nessie. That one.  The mixed tense Die Hard 2 movie strap line that enraged John so much he forgot what it is is: "They say lightning never strikes twice. They were wrong."

Series 9, episode 6. The Woman Who Lived. We are the dandy highwaymen who you're too scared to mention. We spend our cash on Doctor Who dolls, books and Blu-rays mostly. There's a commentary in here somewhere.

More so even than any of our previous efforts, this podcast is a clear cry for help. Two elderly men mentally unravelling and succumbing to the physical rigours of the passage of time in front of a telly programme they love. Send help immediately. Send biscuits. As a postscript, Lawrence googled the Grange Hill/Give Us A Clue theme tune conundrum. He didn't find a conclusive answer, but he did find a 1981 GUAC episode on YouTube featuring Jon Pertwee, Peter Davison, Sandra Dickinson and Beryl Reid. You could watch that instead of listening to this. That's what I'm off to do. 

Some chuntering, then a commentary for Doctor Who Series 9, Episode 4 - Before The Flood. Behold John and Lawrence's little faces as they try and get their heads around whether or not the bootstrap stuff works. Look at them. With their furrowed brows and specious fictional precedents. They're a picture.

Series 9. Episode 3. Under The Lake. It's great. We loved it. However we were this week, to an extent, at home to Mr. Cockup. See if you can spot when iPlayer started buffering. See also if you can spot when the digital recorder batteries ran out. Ah. Never mind. We got there in the end. Thank you in advance for whatever degree of patience you can bring to bear.

OK. There are some inaccuracies in here, the worst of which is that Peter Capaldi is clearly only 5 feet 11.5 inches, no matter what John says. Also: somebody left somebody's phone on. Sorry. (It was John.)

A commentary for Doctor Who Series 9, Episode 1 by @Feexby and @Loll73. Honestly we got to it as quickly as we could.
