Summary

The podcast where my guests, who are usually fans of Doctor Who come and talk about something completely different!

The idea is while our favourite science fiction programme is having a rest, it’s time to see what other TV shows, old and maybe new are out there and worth trying out.

Each episode, a special guest will come along and talk about one of their favourite TV shows and we’ll explore why it’s worth your time.

  • Tenko with Mark Dodyk
    May 18 2026

    After a couple of weeks in the land of sitcoms it's time to return to the world of drama and this time it's one of the most critically acclaimed dramas of the 1980s. And it's one that doesn't get talked about anywhere near as much as it should.

    Tenko is phenomenal but also at the same time devastating. Mark Dodyk joins me this week as we explore all three series and the wealth of fantastic characters we are introduced to. Though no doubt there'll be someone we forgot to mention!

    Tenko is a powerful drama and one that Mark and I hope to persuade you to give a try.

  • One Foot in the Grave with Si Hart
    May 11 2026

    "4291..."

    Often hailed as one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, One Foot in the Grave is more than just your average sitcom. In this week's episode Si Hart joins me to tell me why this is one of his favourite TV shows of all time. We explore the light and dark themes of the series, the genius that is Mrs Warboys, what happens in that final episode and most importantly of all...

    Is Victor Meldrew actually in the right?

  • dinnerladies with Rod Brown
    May 4 2026

    dinnerladies (the lack of a capital letter there is deliberate - listen to find out why) is one of Victoria Wood's finest pieces of television. And considering her long career, that really is something.

    This week I'm joined by Rod Brown as we explore his love for Wood's writing, what makes this series such a success and why if you've never given it a chance, then now is the right time.

    Also why is the name Urmston funny?
