Mark has been a Doctor Who fan for about 26 years. Sarah has never seen any Classic Doctor Who. Together they are watching from the very beginning from two very different perspectives. If you're new to Who or a long time fan join us watching through the series story by story.Hosted by Mark Rawlins and Sarah Chew
Two Watch Who - A Doctor Who Podcast
The first Doscars of New Who. Celebrating the highs and lows and our favourite moments from the series.
It's the big two part finale wrapping up the mystery of Bad Wolf. We have Big Brother, The Weakest Link, Trinny and Susannah! Lynda is the companion who never was, and we say farewell to another Doctor.
Boom Town sees the return of Margaret Slitheen as Cardiff Mayor. We talk Cardiff Bay, Cathy Salt and Miss Universe GB...
The Empty and The Doctor Dances is a much loved two parter, we talk Captain Jack, King of Fridges, Union Jack Clothing and Fireman Sam!
Father's Day - A different type of story than we've had before, more family drama with some monsters on the side.
The Long Game probably isn't a fan fave and not the first one you think of from this series. Today we talk more Adam of course, Simon Pegg and there's some big Neighbours news!
We talk Daleks, Sarah notices Bad Wolf, and we begin the is Adam a companion discussion.
The first two parter of this series brings Rose back home, we have the Slitheen, and a Pig in a Space suit is it all a bit too childish?
The first time new who goes out into space and they really go for it. Aliens! Britney! and have we found our new Edith already?
It's 2005 and New Who is here! Series 1 starts off with a new Doctor and Companion and the return of the Autons. Sarah is still new to Who and Mark lived through the excitement of the series starting again.
Celebrating the end of the Wilderness Years, it's time to award the best and worst of the spin off's. Lockwood vs Liz, Grace vs Mindgame, this is the most varied bunch of nominees yet!
The final episode of the Wilderness years! We got through it. This isn't a bad one to finish on as Kate Lethbridge Stewart returns in this somewhat sequel to the Demons. Although a warning that Mark has a rant about Doctor Who events for the first half of the episode. Next up it'll be the Doscars before starting Series One. Ps. It's the 'Who Do You Thunk You Are' directors cut video that the candle hand is in.
The last in the Auton trilogy (and the penultimate episode in our wilderness watch) The action and CGI is bigger than ever but what is this actually all about? Does it wrap up the story in a satisfactory way?
Following on from Mindgame we visit the Sontaran, Draconian and Human again all having their own monologue moment. Toughest spin off yet?
A Sontaran, Draconian and Ace take part in Doctor Who Big Brother. Shame about the Gorilla mask.
The 90's continue with the second Auton film. Although as it's our first episode back its 50:50 catch up after Christmas and Auton 2.
In this end of year special Mark tries to get Sarah interested in the Who highlights of the last year and what we've covered on the podcast in 2024. There's a missing episodes rant and a quiz. Happy New Year!
It's the last of the PROBE stories and the last of Liz Shaw investigating. Continuing the story from the Devil of Winterbourne, Reece Shearsmith is back again along with Peter Davison (Sarah's fave) and Louise Jameson. Will this watch be as enjoyable as the previous?
It's the Autons turn to get their own spin off in this 1997 straight to video film. With no other Doctor Who characters featured a whole new set of regulars are set up, bringing us Dr Sal, Lockwood, and of course the balloon party queen herself Janice.
Next in our 90's watch is another Liz Shaw investigates. This time there's something odd going with people being bum attacked and organs going missing! This is the most gruesome one yet.
It's about time we did official Doctor Who again and it's the 1996 TV Movie introducing us to the 8th Doctor...
Our 90's watch reaches Downtime. Featuring the Brigadier, Victoria and Sarah Jane. Probably one of the better spin offs of this era. It's free to watch on youtube if you haven't seen it. Look out for Kate Lethbridge Stewart version one!
We're back for a PROBE this week as Liz Shaw investigates. This time she's helping the police with a murder and some strange things happening at boarding school.
Our next 90's encounter sees the return of the Sontarans in Shakedown. This our space adventure features Sophie Aldred and Carole Ann Ford amongst the cast for Sarah to spot...
Our first straight to video watch sees the return of Liz Shaw investigating strange goings on with people who have and haven't been in Doctor Who....
We're back to take on the wilderness years and first up we stop off in 1993 for the children in need charity special Dimensions In Time. Thankfully it's short to help ease Sarah into the world of spin offs. If you haven't seen this maybe search for it on something like Tube You.
It's time to find out the best of the best from 1980's Doctor Who. All the usual categories are here along with couple of the decade and of course the heroic moment award.
A mini montage to celebrate finishing the classic series!
Time for the last Doscars of the classic series as we celebrate season 26. It was a good one for Ace, we had some good monsters and supporting characters. Who will be taking away a Doscar this time...
Survival brings the end of season 26 and of the classic series. We're joined by @Dylandoeswho from the Dr Who: Too Hot For TV podcast. Talking, Litter Trays, Youth Clubs, Catland and Hot people, what will Sarah make of this final story and the end of the series...
Ghost Light has a reputation in fandom as looking great but having a complicated plot, mainly due to scenes being cut. We take on the challenge of working out what's going on in Gabriel Chase...
It's time to begin the final season of classic who. We start with one of Mark's favourites 'Battlefield' but will Sarah have the same enthusiasm ...
Wrapping up season 25 is The Greatest Show In The Galaxy. A story with many interesting characters that don't do very much.
Celebrating the silver anniversary of Doctor Who, this story features the return of the Cybermen, Jazz, Windsor and the O2. Who better to join us than @MrsRemingtonFan to ride with us to destiny and discuss Silver Nemesis.
This week we're studio bound on Terra Alpha. The Happiness Patrol is a fan favourite but can anyone tell us why the sweets?
Season 25 gets of to a nostalgic start as 1963 is the setting for this story of Daleks, Mike, Headteacher and Hand of Thingy....
An unusual sidestep this week as we watched the very first Doctor Who Spin off project 'Wartime' seeing the return of Sgt Benton. First released direct to VHS (mail order only) in 1988, this 30min drama offered an alternative to the current TV series.
The red carpet is out, the Iceland spread is ready it must be the Season 24 Doscars!
Where do people in space get their shopping? Iceland of course. It's chilly and slightly silly in the final story of season 24.
Another story, another attempt for Mel to go on holiday and this time it's in Wales which is good timing as we recorded this episode together in Cardiff. The slightly over the top tone of the season continues with green babies, holiday camps and meat stroking...
Beware the very slow cleaning robots in the second story of season 24. All Mel wants to do is visit the swimming pool. What IS happening at Paradise Towers?
A new season begins with a new Doctor and that's not the only change this season. Time And The Rani hasn't always had the best reputation within fandom but will a new viewer like Sarah see the merits of this story? We're joined by our Doscars expert to talk Tetraps, Bubble Traps, Brains and waterproof makeup.
The courtroom is back in session one more time as we determine the highs and lows of season 23 in the Doscars ceremony.
The Trial is almost over, just two more episodes to wrap everything up. Was Sarah correct in her predictions? or will there be some surprises?
Part three of Trial of a Time Lord and this time it's the Doctor's turn to present - prima facie - from the future! Terror of the Lily's also introduces Mel, who is very up for the challenge and likes the gym!
Court is back in session and things start to get confusing. We can't work out what's going on with the Doctor and Peri has the ultimate trauma moment...
Sagacities, you are called upon to attend jury service on the matter of season 23. The first part of this 14 part epic being The Mysterious Planet. It's been 18 months since Doctor Who was last on the telly - what's changes have there been and will Sarah appreciate them...
