  On the Time Lash

  156. Last Night I Dreamt That I Was an Ambulance (Empire of Death/The Myth Makers)

  Jun 28, 20262h 17m

  Send us Fan Mail It's all been leading to this, sort of. Ben and Mark bring season 1 of OTTLXRTD2 to a close with a bumper episode diving deep into the much derided series finale, Legend of Ruby Sunday/Empire of Death. Was Ncuti Gatwa tuning a telly really worthy of the big screen treatment? Why is Sutekh such a big fan of Davina McCall's Long Lost Family? And on the subject of abrupt companion departures, the Lash Lads pair Empire of Death with The Myth Makers, comparing and contrasting Vicki's TARDIS departure amidst a Grecian bloodbath.

  156. Stick a Rainbow on It (Rogue/Black Orchid)

  Jun 21, 20261h 48mS15

  Send us Fan Mail After emerging relatively unscathed from a discussion about racism in Doctor Who, Ben and Mark tackle same sex relationships in Rogue and the representation of disability in Black Orchid. What could possibly go wrong? Also: Ben adds Janet Fielding to his repertoire of impressions and Matthew Waterhouse eats a soggy buffet, and a bunch of listeners have never seen Bridgerton.

  155. White Pricks (Dot and Bubble/The Savages)

  Jun 14, 20261h 55mS15

  Send us Fan Mail Ben and Mark go On the Tightrope as they attempt to talk about the heavy themes and issues brought up by Dot and Bubble without getting cancelled or sounding like Legz Akimbo theatre company. But don't worry, there's some light relief in the form of the William Hartnell serial, The Savages, in which an underclass are brutally subjugated by their privileged masters. Ah. Also: What is the Citizen Kane of Doctor Who? Who's responsible for William Hartnell's Reactive Vibrator? And why shouldn't we mourn Ricky September? Enjoy the podcast?

  <p>Send us Fan Mail</p><p>"Everyone gives Doctor Who shit for sticking some glasses on Millie Gibson but what about Amol Rajan?"</p><p>Spooky women, sexual deviants and robot dogs abound as Ben and Mark tackle Russell T Davies' A24-lite thriller 73 Yards and Terence Dudley's occult oddity, K-9 & Company.</p><p>Do either of these companion-centric Doctor Who stories actually have anything to say? Who does Susan Twist's Ncuti Gatwa impression remind us of? And while we're at it, whose house smells of ouzo and johnnies?</p><p>Support the show</p><p>Follow us on...

Ben and Mark find out as they discuss Boom from 2024 and Destiny of the Daleks from 1979. </p><p>How did Boom unite a divided Doctor Who fandom? Will Ben and Mark ever actually talk about what Destiny of the Daleks is rather than what it could have been?
