    Mark is joined by Luke Molloy to discuss Frazer Hines' 1996 autobiography, Films, Farms and Fillies. As they pick apart the thorny topics of sexual politics, life in the public eye, and changing attitudes to age gap romances, they try to answer such questions as:

    Who was bookended by the Krankies?
    Whatever happened to Bernard Cribbins' "Dick of the Week" trophy?
    Did Frazer Hines' autobiography change society?

    Send us a text

    In the second of their David Tennant and Catherine Tate specials, Ben and Mark turn their attentions to Wild Blue Yonder, and pair it with both Big Finish's Scherzo, written by Rob Shearman, and Underworld, written by Bob Baker and Dave Martin.

    Ben and Mark discuss Doctor Who's changing relationship with technology, from the primitive virtual sets of Underworld to the more advanced virtual sets of Wild Blue Yonder. But was the REDACTED marketing the downfall of an otherwise terrific story? And could Big Finish release something like Scherzo today?

    Also: Mark gets out the good china and the Dalek napkin rings, while Ben finds out how many cupcakes you can fit inside a Dalek.

    Ben, Mark and the Degsestial Funmaker return for a very special On the Time Lash miniseries focused on 2023's Tennant and Tate specials. Up first is The Star Beast, which Ben and Mark pair with the original Doctor Who and the Star Beast comic and its 2019 Big Finish adaptation. Which Beast is Best? And is there such a thing as too much Star Beast?

    Also: Mark learns watercolours with Peter Davison, Ben reminisces about Frazer Hines' fridge freezer and we ask the questions -

    Is RTD a hard-left agitator or centrist dad apologist?

    What separates Miriam Margoyles from John Barrowman?

    And what Doctor Who related clothing item can Ben guess in just 2 questions?
