Time Ram

Time Ram

Time Ram, a Doctor Who podcast which randomly selects a mismatched Doctor and story from 60 years of the show and attempts to ram them together. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but if you've ever wondered how 'Mummy on the Orient Express' would have looked in the Colin Baker era, or how 'The Caves of Androzani' would work starring Peter Capaldi, then Time Ram is the podcast for you. The regular hosts are Rupert Booth, Paul Ferry and Barry Williams. read less

Time Ram 077: Christmas Day of the Doctor

Time Ram 077: Christmas Day of the Doctor

Time Ram is better than a Time War as we take our expansive Christmas extravaganza and investigate special episode 'Day of the Doctor'! Packed full of frilly shirts, yellow horses heads, felt tips and Benton's infinite cup of coffee alongside all kinds of seasonal treats. Join us for a verse or two of Surely it's Susan.

Time Ram 076: Smartie Daleks - My Part in Their Downfall

Time Ram 076: Smartie Daleks - My Part in Their Downfall

Time Ram is joined by our special guest - journalist and comedian Steven Palace - to review (or roast?) Victory of the Daleks which we have transplanted from the Matt Smith era to Jon Pertwee. In this way, we experience Schroedinger's pregnancy, stupid science, T-Rexes made from old carpet and the Teletubbie Daleks! It's all Totally Terry Nation...

Time Ram 075: The Budgie Smugglers (Reconstructed)

Time Ram 075: The Budgie Smugglers (Reconstructed)

Time Ram crosses regenerations again as we take Peter Davison's 'The Visitation' and adapt it for his son-in-law (David Tennant in case you were wondering). Now we can talk like Eric Saward, play it like Tristan and love a Great Fire of London as much as we waaaaant! Also includes: silent building, Soliton patches, Matthew Waterhouse fight scenes and robot vibrators. You know it makes sense.* *May not make sense.

Time Ram 074: The Giant Disco Ball in Space

Time Ram 074: The Giant Disco Ball in Space

Don't go dropping no eves, but follow the failed goo trail to well-regarded Tom Baker story 'The Ark in Space' which has been Time Rammed to star Paul McGann! We also investigate Litefoot's family tree, take damage in the sentence and mourn Grace's opera gown. Includes previously unused Hanson and a surprising message from David Duchovny!

Time Ram 073: Old School

Time Ram 073: Old School

Time Ram gets more low brow as we take David Tennant's 'School Reunion' and re-imagine it for the first Doctor, William Hartnell. That sounds like a bad idea, you say? Like that's ever stopped us! Anyway, it means that we get to press the 'don't land properly' switch on our Dodos, confuse Katarina and Kingdom, and explore Barbara's marital problem. Also: scenes happen. Controversy!

Time Ram 072: Hide and Seek

Time Ram 072: Hide and Seek

This episode, Time Ram takes Matt Smith's 'Hide' and does a Troughton on it - which may or not be a euphemism. And so the sixties crew visit haunted Caliban House which is not a happy mansion and where postmen need to really check the signs. Meanwhile, Dandy Nichols shows some unexpected talents and Innes Lloyd deals with his Donald Pleasence problem. But we really can't get Macra into this. Or can we?

Time Ram 071: Germane Christmas

Time Ram 071: Germane Christmas

Time Ram goes all Bah Humbug for Peter Capaldi's 'Last Christmas' which now stars first Doctor, William Hartnell! In the process, we scare some rams, tease out some morpho brains and finally address some long-standing companion controversy. To Santa or not to Santa, that is the question...

Time Ram 070: The Occidental Toymaker

Time Ram 070: The Occidental Toymaker

Daft podcast reaches 70 episodes! No, we don't know how either. To celebrate, Time Ram takes Hartnell story 'The Celestial Toymaker' and re-jigs it for the 21st century and Matt Smith. In the process we uncover some unlikely guest stars, have a spring fitted and go 'full Scottish'. It'll make sense later. Or not. Crackerjack!!

Time Ram 069: Two Flat Ladies

Time Ram 069: Two Flat Ladies

This week Time Ram take Doctor One Dozen Peter Capaldi's classic CGI-fest 'Flatline' and adapt it for Man Alive Peter Davison's era, complete with early-eighties special effects. Because of course we do. Lucky! (With digressions for Big Brother, pineapple and JNT casting policies.) Ducking and Diving with us is special guest Jon Arnold, ready to join the Brighton Line to the Top of the Shop!

Time Ram 068: Whodunnit???

Time Ram 068: Whodunnit???

Which Doctor Who episode has the daftest title? It could be Davis Tennant's 'The Unicorn and the Wasp', which in this Time Ram gets transported to the Jon Pertwee era, the lucky thing! Join us as we explore crystals, December garden parties and probic vent insecurity on the way to uncovering the inevitable hexapod murderer. It's not who you think. Wallop!

Time Ram 067: Avery's Alien Gold

Time Ram 067: Avery's Alien Gold

Time Ram splice the mainbrace, batten the hatches and take their sea sickness pills as we launch Christopher Eccleston's 'The Smugglers'! Join us as we spend money on pirates, vibrate some concrete and reminisce with acting legend Don Warrington. But where exactly is the gold? Don't tell 'em Pike!

Time Ram 066: The Tartan Dilemma

Time Ram 066: The Tartan Dilemma

In this Time Ram, Colin Baker's sixth Doctor heads off to bonnie Scotland to experience the Terror of the Zygons! How Scottish is too Scottish? Does the quote quota exist? When is a good moment to point out to someone that they have holes in them? And how do you milk a Skarasen? It's possible that none of these questions will be answered by the end of the episode!

Time Ram 065: It's a Museum... A Space Museum!

Time Ram 065: It's a Museum... A Space Museum!

In space, no one can hear you visit the museum... That's what the 14th Doctor learns when he takes companions Trude and Mel to visit The Space Museum! Memories of William Hartnell can be erased as Time Ram introduces us to the adventures of Sita, the planet of used mobile phones and collars with balls on. Disclaimer: This episode may include mental images of David Tennant in his speedos. Or not. It's up to you.

Time Ram 064: The Co-Pilot

Time Ram 064: The Co-Pilot

Time Ram takes on the 14th Doctor, David Againnant, surprisingly appearing in Peter Capaldi's 'The Pilot'. It's a continuity conundrum with squeaky Mel, CG giant heads and plenty of prop facts! Somehow, we also find time to debut our 70s film series starring Sean Connery and Michael Caine. Unmissable!

Time Ram 063: Removal of the Daleks

Time Ram 063: Removal of the Daleks

It's the battle of the Sylvesters - McCoy and Stallone together at last in the 1988 spectacular 'Planet of the Daleks' (which has been Time Rammed from the Jon Pertwee era). Join us for Dalek Putey, torches for eyes and Ace's invisible boyfriend. Featuring more Keff McCulloch than ever before!

Time Ram 062: The End of Maths

Time Ram 062: The End of Maths

This Time Ram, we cover the end of David Tennants' first reign as the Doctor with 2009/2010's 'Logopolis', putting aside the emotions to focus on maths and entropy... Because RTD would do that. So join us for the tragic fate of Rawling Cranfield, New Years Eve costume ideas and Donna's new job as a rat-catcher in That London! It's more fun than a delta wave augmenter.

Time Ram 061: Carey Blyton's Crumhorn

Time Ram 061: Carey Blyton's Crumhorn

It's time to put down your copy of The Gruffalo, and join Time Ram as we pit the first Doctor, William Hartnell, against the Silurians/Eocenes/Homo Reptilia/whatever they're called this week in 'The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood'! Also starring harder Barbara, screamin' Susan and "good lord" Ian! Let's send in the grass and determine if violence is, in fact, the way. Features additional Carey Blyton.

Time Ram 060: Dude, Where's My Yeti?

Time Ram 060: Dude, Where's My Yeti?

For Time Ram's 60th anniversary (that's right, isn't it?) we inject some David Tennant (rather than David Againnant) into black and white classic 'The Web of Fear'! Which it turns out should be called 'The Fibreglassy Foam Fungus of Fear', but you can't win them all. We also explore Douglas Camfield's happy place, meet the Below Average Intelligence and find out which celebrity has a face like a Yak's bottom. Coming to a specialist store near you!

Time Ram 059: Two Diamonds in the Buff

Time Ram 059: Two Diamonds in the Buff

In this Time Ram, we bring controversial 1970s story 'The Talons of Weng-Chiang' forward to the twenty-first century, fully re-tooled for Christopher Eccleston! Yes, you read that right. We also get little distracted, start up a family glazing business and become dropsy-raddled. Make an 'orse sick, that would.

Time Ram 058: Shakespeare's Shih Tzu

Time Ram 058: Shakespeare's Shih Tzu

In this episode of Time Ram, we attempt to conjugate the subjective (whatever that means) of David Tennant's 'The Shakespeare Code' while we search and replace with Peter Capaldi. This takes us around the tetradecadrons via Peter Stringfellow, Hugh Hefner and Bill Baggs to eventually redefine the knock knock joke! Featuring special guest star (and old mate) Richard Knapper and his magnificent facial hair!
