Lazy Doctor Who

From The Incomparable After Shows, TV & Film, TV Reviews

Steven Schapansky (Radio Free Skaro, The Memory Cheats) and Erika Ensign (Verity!, Total Party Kill) are married Doctor Who fans (who also co-produce a fiction podcast for Uncanny Magazine). This is a podcast where they watch every Doctor Who story ever made, from start to finish. Each episode is recorded live on a red couch.

No, they have no “schedule”. They’re lazy. Want proof? Check out this fab listener-created spreadsheet of episode releases.

  10. The Daleks' Master Plan 1 - Recovered!

    Episode 279

    Show notes

    Erika and Steven revisit an episode we first reviewed in 2016! Why? Because it’s no longer merely a reconstruction! Two episodes of “The Daleks’ Master Plan” were recently recovered, thanks to the good work of Film Is Fabulous. We’ve made good on our promise to return and re-cover recovered episodes, and “The Nightmare Begins” is the first of the two.

  11. Revenge of the Cybermen - 4

    Episode 278

    Show notes

    Steven and Erika finish off “Revenge of the Cybermen” — and Season 12 of Doctor Who!

    And no need to email us — immediately after recording, Steven discovered the “heartbeat” music cue was Peter Howell, not Carey Blyton. Erika regrets her incorrect guess!

    (Ok not really. No actual regrets. Everyone is wrong sometimes!)
