Time Ladies Talk

Are the women of new-Who completely blameless in relationships? Of course not. Kez and Beth discuss the uncomfortable watching of how some of their favourite characters treat their partners. There's also talk of re-watchability in Doctor Who – do we label stories our favourites simply because we can watch them over and over again with our dinner? Produced and presented by Kezia Newson and Beth Axford from The Time Ladies

It's Christmaaas and the Time Ladies are discussing all things Christmas special... you know, back in the day when they weren't on new years day? We have a Time Ladies debate between our chosen special eps and fight it out – sort of. We also talk series 11 and our favourite episode so far, plus things we've been loving, including The Women Who Lived by Christel Dee and Simon Guerrier.

In episode 2 of Time Ladies Talk Kez and Beth talk Twitch and why it's been so critical to the Doctor Who community. They also discuss female companions from the 1960s. From Barbara to Zoe, were they better written than the female characters of 2005+? This month in classic Who: Carnival of Monsters (a mix between love and 'doesn't Jo get tired in those boots?'), some more series 11 news and the infamously tricksy post-it note game 'Who's Who?'

In episode 1 of Time Ladies Talk Kez and Beth explore the idea of the female villain in Doctor Who - are they as valued as male villains? What part do they play in the overall story? Are they terrifying or more tokenist? Discussions in classic Who on story of the month: The Green Death, some news and the infamously tricksy post-it note game 'Who's Who?'.

In the first episode of Time Ladies Talk (the pilot!) we discuss companions who deserved more. Should Susan have been given more depth? Is Martha Jones an underrated character? We discuss all this as well as covering news, classic Doctor Who and general chat.
