Bigger On The Inside has dematerialised into time and space over the past few years. But we're back and ready to talk about Doctor Who once again. But we have a bit of unfinished business first, so here are the remaining commentaries that we did all the way back in 2019 as part of our YEAR OF COMMENTARIES. This time, it was NickName's turn. Will he make Ringo suffer once again? Or will he start to feel the festive cheer leading into Christmas? Only one way to find out. Aired: July 2022
We're swinging back again to Ringo for another round of Bigger On The Inside's YEAR OF COMMENTARIES! And he gives an absolute doozy of a selection to watch after the PTSD given from the previous commentary episode. Strap yourselves in - the finish line is just over the horizon. Aired: January 2020
Our YEAR OF COMMENTARIES and this month is Shitty September for NickName, meaning that we've delved to get some of the most boring and painful episodes to sit through. Wake me up when September ends... Aired: December 2019
We've now reached two-thirds of the way into our YEAR OF COMMENTARIES! And once more, Ringo steps up to provide two more episodes that you'll never see coming. It's a blast of an episode to help celebrate our 40th episode of doing this podcast. Aired: October 2019
It's once again NickName's turn to provide his picks for this month's episodes that will be commentated on. His theme this month: Christmas in July. Join Ringo and be confused by what all of this could mean as we continue Bigger on the Inside's YEAR OF COMMENTARIES! Aired: October 2019
We're officially halfway in our YEAR OF COMMENTARIES! This month's episode is a chaotic one as we take a look at all the Doctor Who related news from the past 6 months, Nick briefly discusses how E3 2019 went for all the different game developers, and we see how well our anticipated 2019 movies have gone down so far (Spoilers: Ringo has had a rough year... again). And speaking of Ringo, it is once again his turn to select the episodes we will be commentating on. It's fun for the whole family. Aired: July 2019
Welcome back to the fifth month of Bigger on the Inside's YEAR OF COMMENTARIES! Nick has his third go at picking the two episodes, one of which marks our first Matt Smith episode. Only Eccleston remains as the only Doctor not to have been selected... yet. Aired: May 2019
Welcome back to the next month of Bigger on the Inside's YEAR OF COMMENTARIES! Once again it's Ringo's turn to pick the episodes in question, and it has an interesting theme that Nick definitely doesn't figure out straight away. Aired: April 2019
It's once again Nick's turn to pick the episodes as part of Bigger on the Inside's YEAR OF COMMENTARIES. Two single episodes with a theme so obvious you won't see it coming. Aired: April 2019
It's Ringo's turn to pick the episodes that will be watched as part of our YEAR OF COMMENTARIES. His selection: the Series 3 two-parter: Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks. Aired: February 2019
As we lead into the second year of no Doctor Who in the span of 3 years, Bigger on the Inside decided to designate 2019 to be the year of Doctor Who commentaries. 12 episodes, 12 months. In this one, NickName selected the Series 8 two-part finale Dark Water/Death in Heaven. Aired: January 2019
It's the end but the moment has been prepared for. The Bigger on the Inside duo take one final look at Series 11 with the New Year's Special - Resolution. Did it resolve all the issues we had with the series or did it exterminate all its good will? And then straight after, we do our annual tradition of talking about our top 20 anticipated movies for the upcoming year. Will Ringo step up his game this year and get the better average ratings? Or will Nick take it out for the third consecutive year in a row? We'll find out come December 2019. Aired: January 2019 Introduction: "The Daleks" - Doctor Who: Original Television Soundtrack
It has been a rollercoaster 5 episodes but we have now officially reached the conclusion of the Series 11 talk with Episodes 9 and 10 - It Takes You Away and The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos (excluding the New Year's Special obviously). Did this series end on a massive high? Were we on a massive high while watching these episodes? Tune in and find out. Aired: December 2018 Introduction: "The Rainbow Connection" - The Muppet Movie
We've past the half way point of Series 11 and by doing so, means we have to discuss Episodes 6 and 7 - being Kerblam! and The Witchfinders respectively. And to help us dissect it all is once again TheDoctorOfWho. Will these be the episodes that we regard as the best of the series? Tune in to find out.

Episode 29 is available for you to listen. This episode we needed all the help we could get to discuss Episode 5 and 6 of Series 11 so we managed to bring back TheDoctorOfWho to do so. We also talk the change from a Christmas special to a New Year's Day special as well as the rumour that there will be no Doctor Who in 2019. This is one insane episode of Bigger On The Inside full of anger, frustration, and pure emotion.

This series sure has been an interesting one to discuss as we found out talking about Episodes 3 & 4 of Series 11 - Rosa and Arachnids in the UK. From a racist time-traveller to mutated spiders, listen to all the positives and negatives, as things get pretty chaotic as usual. Aired: November 2018 Introduction: "All The Strange Strange Creatures" - Doctor Who: Series 3
Series 11 is well underway and as such we have new episodes to dissect and critique. And of course, we need some help to do that so we brought on long time guest of the show, TheDoctorOfWho, to help us out.

If that isn't enough though, we discuss Sandwich Press Christmases as well as our thoughts on the brief Series 10 teaser trailer. To put it another way, this episode was well and truly LOADED with stuff to talk about.
