Who was bookended by the Krankies?
Whatever happened to Bernard Cribbins' "Dick of the Week" trophy?
Did Frazer Hines' autobiography change society?Support the show

In the second of their David Tennant and Catherine Tate specials, Ben and Mark turn their attentions to Wild Blue Yonder, and pair it with both Big Finish's Scherzo, written by Rob Shearman, and Underworld, written by Bob Baker and Dave Martin.
Ben and Mark discuss Doctor Who's changing relationship with technology, from the primitive virtual sets of Underworld to the more advanced virtual sets of Wild Blue Yonder. But was the REDACTED marketing the downfall of an otherwise terrific story? And could Big Finish release something like Scherzo today?
Also: Mark gets out the good china and the Dalek napkin rings, while Ben finds out how many cupcakes you can fit inside a Dalek.

Ben, Mark and the Degsestial Funmaker return for a very special On the Time Lash miniseries focused on 2023's Tennant and Tate specials. Up first is The Star Beast, which Ben and Mark pair with the original Doctor Who and the Star Beast comic and its 2019 Big Finish adaptation. Which Beast is Best? And is there such a thing as too much Star Beast?
Also: Mark learns watercolours with Peter Davison, Ben reminisces about Frazer Hines' fridge freezer and we ask the questions -
Is RTD a hard-left agitator or centrist dad apologist?
What separates Miriam Margoyles from John Barrowman?
And what Doctor Who related clothing item can Ben guess in just 2 questions?

"Get some f***ing perspective!"
Mark invites Strangers in Space's benevolent overseer, J.R. Southall to submit his five choices for the Tinsel Tunnel. Their discussion takes in the cultural milieu that led to the decline of Doctor Who, showrunner sectarianism, green goo, how we watch The One Show, and whether the Doctor should always have a British accent.
Also: Which book of J.R's is too hot for publishing? Why wasn't Philip Hinchcliffe doing Parkinson? And does Doctor Who really live on Saturdays? And what is the Love and Monsters of podcasts?

In the first of a new series, Mark invites Strictly Come Hamster co-host Rod Brown to submit his five Doctor Who gripes to be thrown into the Timelash. Rod's choices lead to discussions about childhood bullies, the extraordinary lengths we go to for some new footage, and whether Doctor Who fandom has a martyr complex.
Also: Which classic Doctor Who producer is obsessed with tits? Are we really just a bunch of sad anoraks? And which Doctor Who institution is on trial for its very life in In the Timelash series 2?

Mark is joined by Film Stories' Mark Harrison to discuss the history of censorship and Doctor Who. From the Australian censor clips of the 1960s to the BBFC's rulings on the Ncuti Gatwa era, the two Marks unpick whether regulatory oversight and "censorship" have been good for Doctor Who.
But don't worry, there are plenty of laughs along the way, including Ofcom's ruling on "insufficient underwear", why the Sacha Dhawan Master had a particularly awful Christmas Day, and which Ncuti Gatwa episode is officially more grisly than Attack of the Cyberman.

In a break from your usual programming, Mark opens the doors of the On the Time Lash pub for a book club style chat with Doctor Who podcaster at large, Luke Molloy for a chat about "Run The Shadows Walk The Sun" by John Levene.
John Levene's life story is a beautiful contradiction; a celebrity autobiography by someone who was never a "celebrity", that is both brimming with enthusiasm and seething with rage.
Join Mark and Luke as they discover how 9/11 affected John Levene, why he fired John Travolta, and the truth about Sergeant Benton's duet with Susan Boyle.

Listen all the way to the end for Ben and Mikey reconciling their historic feud.

Mark is joined by Doctor Who podcaster at large, Luke Molloy, to discuss his five entries to be thrown into the Time Lash.
It's a wide ranging discussion that takes in the topics of who's the best actor to play the Doctor, the current state of Doctor Who Magazine, the perils of letting one actor play each member of an alien race, what you want from your Doctor Who theme tune, and why we need to forget about the numbering of the Doctor's incarnations.
ALSO: Who's the best actor to ever play a Sontaran? How late is too late to publish an interview with Davina McCall? And why isn't Sylvester McCoy the 7th Doctor?Support the show

Ben and Mark invite Joe Ford from Hamster With A Blunt Penknife to submit his five choices to go into the Timelash. Mammary madness, unconvincing urchins, aural wallpaper, violent content and performative negativity all face the Timelash, but will they all depart with a scream?
Joe's five choices lead us to try and answer the questions:
Can Doctor Who be sexy? Should Doctor Who be sexy? Is it cheeky to write yourself roles in a Big Finish audio? What does a Doctor Who convention smell like?Support the show

Mark is next up to submit five things they don’t like about Doctor Who to be thrown In the Timelash.
It's a wide-ranging discussion that takes in some heavy topics, the brave new world of online fandom, worldwide release windows, and whether a delivery driver can scale the height of Colin Baker's gate.
Will all five of Mark's choices get sent on a one-way trip to the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Ness? And when was the last time that Britain was truly great?

In the first of a brand new series, the Lash Lads invite guests to submit five things they don't like about Doctor Who to be thrown In the Time Lash.

In the first episode, stand-up comedian and On the Time Lash co-host Ben Verth submits the five Doctor Who things he wants to send on holiday with H.G. Wells. But will it be Ben and Mark that get binned by the end?Support the show

To celebrate the release of The Daleks in Colour on Bluray and DVD this week, Ben and Mark are joined once again by Mark Harrison to discuss how well it updates a 1965 classic, and what it has in common with Peter Cushing's Dr. Who & the Daleks movie
Why is Peter Cushing's non-canon Doctor Who movie the definitive telling of the first encounter with the Daleks? And will Benjamin Cook's choppily edited version for the TikTok generation ever topple Milton Subotsky's technicolour marvel?
Also: What is the Del Boy falling through the bar of Doctor Who? Which 1960s companion was one of 30 names attached to be the next James Bond after Sean Connery? Is the colourised Daleks just the different birthday cake to ruin?

To celebrate 60 years of Doctor Who, On the Time Lash, Too Hot For TV, The Polis Box, and I Hate Doctor Who are sent to the Degsestial Death Zone for a battle of wills against the fearsome Degsestial Funmaker and Lord Harrison.
As the four podcasts quiz for their very lives, they answer the big questions: What happens if you put Tom Baker's top set and David Tennant's bottom set of teeth in the same mouth? Who's the Glam Rock nonce? What's better, Black Orchid or The King's Demons?

Continuing their celebrations of Doctor Who's 60th anniversary, Ben and Mark take a sideways and boozy trip into the divergent universe of BBV.
Exploring the 30th anniversary of Doctor Who's 30th anniversary, they tackle the de facto multi-Doctor story: The Airzone Solution.
After inevitably recoiling at the love scene, they discuss whether Woody Allen has seen The Airzone Solution, and ponder who's getting it on in the big budget 30th anniversary remake.

"I was the fan, and I enjoyed being serviced"
After a decade, Ben and Mark bring On the Time Lash's NuWho Watchthrough to an end with a discussion of The Power of Doctor, paired up with Big Finish's wildly experimental 40th anniversary audio adventure - Zagreus.
And since it's the end, Ben and Mark discuss the big issues:
How to lend gravitas to the name Uncle Winky, why The Power of the Doctor is a pitch-perfect satire of modern fandom, a celebration of Sacha Dhawan's Master, the meaning of an empty chair, why Paul McGann doesn't wear robes, the impossibility of explaining the plot of Zagreus, and a lament for when Big Finish took big swings.
And what is the imbecile/Icini conundrum?

Also: Nicola Bryant's arse, Robert Holmes' chilling premonition of the 1980s, unleashing a Drashig at a Tory Party Conference, and the return of Degsey's Where Did It Come Game!Support the show

In the final part of On the Time Lash's Get Tae Flux miniseries, Ben and Mark discuss the tonal tightrope that Dennis Spooner walks while bringing The Daleks' Masterplan to its conclusion. Is Sara Kingdom's death justified? Is Donald Tosh a precursor to Eric Saward? Would you give someone £100 for some painted telesnaps?
All this and a creepy Tom Baker mask, serialised Doctor Who v.s. episodic Doctor Who, who should have played the Meddling Monk opposite Peter Cushing, and a showdown in the letters pages of DWM.Support the show
