Art Garfunkel hated 'Doctor Who' when Simon and Garfunkel toured the UK, so to troll his former partner, Paul Simon played the theme at every opportunity, including here during rehearsals for the 'Call Me Al' video. #DoctorWho

And here is that first episode - The Horns of Nimon, Love & Monsters, The Twin Dilemma. Underdogs all…but surely noone can defend the latter. Can they? shows.acast.com/678bb716c7bd...

Erratum: In this episode of I’ll Explain Later - Conversations about Doctor Who, @jwestjourno.bsky.social misidentifies the author of La Guerre du Golfe n'a pas eu lieu (The Gulf War Did Not Take Place) as Jacques Derrida. We are happy to correct the record. It was Violet Beauregarde.

This was a fun one - me and @jwestjourno.bsky.social went to some very interesting places about whether a dose of sci-fi/fantasy can actually help convey historical truth better than a "pure" approach. Listen and watch in all the usual places!

Our latest, scheduled episode on ENLIGHTENMENT was recorded before the passing of writer Barbara Clegg last week. RIP.

Matt and John from @illexplainlater.bsky.social like Enlightenment a lot less than I do but their take is always worth listening to. For me, it’s an atmosphere piece and it’s splendidly sinister and weird. It’s also nicer to look at than a lot of 80s Doctor Who. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/i...

Really great point from @highheatstats.bsky.social here that we could have - but crucially didn’t - landed in our review. Having set it up so winningly, go and listen NOW!

One of the running themes in our @illexplainlater.bsky.social podcasts on Hartnell is just how much new-Who is right there. Nothing new under the sun.

Happy new year! Check out our highly thematic latest episode! Anyone made any Who-related resolutions for 2025?

Ha... amazing. Just shared with @davidkitchen.bsky.social an audio we've received on the back of our AN ADVENTURE IN SPACE AND TIME episode... from someone who was in the cast. Pretty wild to realise such folk are in your listening audience. It'll get a run on the end of January episode :)

Just heard @illexplainlater.bsky.social's take on RESOLUTION and it reminded me that while I've seen some Jodie eps recently (they're currently on the ABC), and picked out some stuff I quite like, this ep wasn't really one of them, even if it did have Charlotte Ritchie in it :( #DoctorWho #DrWho

Listened to reviews of Joy to the World @pulltoopen.bsky.social @illexplainlater.bsky.social @strangerscast.bsky.social @flightthroughentirety.com @reviewofdeath.bsky.social whilst there's a scale, closer views than I expected.

About a 10th of the number of Ukrainian refugee children state schools took in without any panicked coverage. Such nonsense.

Top tier Christmas episode.....and Last Christmas wasn't bad either 😉 Very enjoyable summing up gents and one of my favourite festive treats from Doctor Who too. Lots in the story to enjoy, very layered. Need to rewatch. Merry Christmas to you both.
