149: Mission to the Unknown

The name's Bond... Space Bond. Who needs the Doctor and co when you have Her Majesty's Space Security Service's best man on the job? Turns out he and his meagre team do as they fight in vain against collaborative Daleks and their perambulating pet cacti. How kind are Daleks to their plants? Will they treat a galactic Christmas tree just as well? Are Martin's theories on Pluto really worth listening to? And did he and Jim enjoy this one-and-done or was it all a waste of (not very much) time? Listen to find out! Find the podcast here, on iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible and elsewhere.

Kamelion reminds us all that he still exists and causes an eruption of trouble for the Doctor and Turlough. They must confront an alien marital aid, a sneaky stepdad and a livid waiter on Earth. And Sarn is no better, accommodating as it does a guy-linered zealot, a boy band leader and more lava than a 1960s lamp retailer. Chuck in a reappearance from the Doctor's psychotic old school chum and we have a great big melting pot that's well worth avoiding. Why wasn't K9 replaced with an electronic whale? Can Nicola Bryant avoid a skyclad Teuton? Did JNT enjoy his holiday at the licence payers' expense? And did Jim and Martin find Planet of Fire smokin' hot or was it more like a wet Wednesday in Cromer? Listen to find out!

The newly Susan-free TARDIS lands on Dido (but, alas, too late to prevent her musical career from happening). There they find a distressed Susan-alike, her grumpy companion and the sinister Koquillion, who is spiky both in physiognomy and personality. Can our intrepid travellers discover Bennett's secret? Will Babs murder any more of Vicki's pets? How will the Doctor survive without having the word "Grandfather" shrieked into his face on a regular basis? And did Jim and Martin enjoy their sojourn on Dido or were they in desperate need of rescue? Listen to find out! Find the podcast here, on iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible and elsewhere.

After a series of scrapes with mercury vapour, a robot and a food machine, things get even worse for the Doctor and Jamie. They fetch up on the latest base-under-insane-leadership and meet some old enemies and a smart-arsed new friend. Are three digits really better than five? Brother, can you spare a Bernalium rod (for a hungry cybermat)? Could you identify a Hercules Cluster in a blindfolded smell test? And did Jim and Martin find the story 'fantastic' or was it spinning its wheels? Listen to find out!  Special mention to Iz and Steve Skinner for their wonderful 3D animation of the missing episodes of this story.

Three wise time travellers journey in search of the darkest of nativities, meeting some lowly creatures and a highly unstable messiah. Harry develops a seafood allergy, Sarah's a fallen woman and the Doctor finds that navigating Skaro can be a bit of a minefield.  Why does Sevrin like steamy nightclubs? Where do Davros and Nyder spend their romantic getaways? Which part of a Dalek's intestines is the most dangerous? And would Jim and Martin put Genesis of the Daleks up among the gods or did watching it reveal to them the true meaning of pain?

Barbara's penchant for historical re-enactment gets our intrepid time team into a spot of bother down old Mexico way. While she cosplays as a dead bloke, the Doctor and Susan try to dodge a double wedding and Ian has to use his thumb for more than hitchhiking.  Will Susan get spiked, Ian skewered and Babs bricked up? Worse still, will the Doctor get hitched? Will Tlotoxl change his name by Deed Poll or will Martin have a stroke? And did Jim and Martin find The Aztecs to be like a comforting cup of cocoa or a goblet of cold poison?

We're used to looking at a screen and seeing dodgy creatures attacking a pair of plucky adventurers. With Carnival of Monsters, you can watch other folk doing the same thing. It's like Gogglebox with grey aliens. Can a chota peg really solve any behemoth-based problem? How easy is it to drug-mule a set of skeleton keys? How many seconds were spent making the Functionary masks and how much change did they get out of a pound note? And were Jim and Martin amused by the miniscope or did it leave them colder than an Inter Minor welcome?

The Krynoid PodCast boys welcome you back to the Green Cathedral this Yuletide to offer you perhaps the closest thing to a pantomime that '60s Who gets, The Underwater Menace. What the heck is the Doctor wearing and why? Is the rest of the Atlanteans' male grooming as lax as their eyebrows? How will Polly's groovy new gills go down on the swinging King's Road? And did this soggy saga float Jim and Martin's boats or was it like watching a shipwreck?

We return to Who with a tale of secret enemies, ostentatious acting and stentorian asides. Will the Keeper ever escape his shower cubicle? Will aubergines ever replace Rice Krispies? Will Tom Baker ever wipe his nose? And will The Keeper of Traken give Jim and Martin a new lease of life or leave them calcified?

Jim and Martin spring a festive surprise with some new Krynoid PodCast material! They scan the snowless Snowdonian slopes for monstrous myths and find the Doctor giving an old friend a bell, Victoria repeating herself and Jamie threatening everyone with a bagpipe recital. But did The Abominable Snowmen thaw their cockles or do they give it the cold shoulder.
