Time Ram flexes its mighty arts to bring you 10th Doctor David Tennant starring in the Sylvester McCoy story 'Battlefield'. It's time to bring the Brig out of retirement, but which one? There's also mother issues, dubious archaeology and plenty of Arthuriana to enjoy. timeram.com/2026/09/25/e...

Supergirl: Review
When looked at from a distance, Supergirl has a better hit-to-miss ratio on TV and Film than her more famous cousin. I mean, that could just be because she’s been represented fewer times on film an…

‘Red Dwarf: Titan’ by Rob Grant and Andrew Marshall: Review
Red Dwarf is the BBC sci-fi sitcom that succeeded against all the odds. Born into an environment that actively hated science fiction, and which was gradually phasing out the studio audience sitcom,…

It’s a landmark episode for Time Ram, as we take The Star Beast and reinvent it for (checks notes) William Hartnell. Who is the mysterious old man watching unearthly teen Susan Foreman? You probably know the answer if you’ve been paying attention for the last 63 years. timeram.com/2026/09/11/e...

Time Ram faces the ultimate dilemma: Hinchcliffe or Williams? We take the sixth Doctor story ‘Vengeance on Varos’ and place it in the era of fourth Doctor! Along the way we take in George and Mildred, Betamax . But that’s how we roll! Bigger than Jarvis. timeram.com/2026/08/28/e...

Clip! Clop! Clip! Clop! Watch out for that ghostly figure behind you as we take the Capaldi classic ‘Heaven Sent’ and reimagine it with Ncuti Gatwa. We have emotional reunions with Susan, Inspector Macra and a certain horse. Hmm, it feels like we’ve been here before… timeram.com/2026/08/15/e...

Time Ram has a hard day’s night as we take ‘The Devil’s Chord’ and harmonise it with the fifth Doctor, Peter Davison. Starring Tegan ‘Ticket to Ride’ Jovanka, drug-peddler Nyssa of Traken, and ‘Magic’ Adric (aw bless). Oh yeah, and the Beatles. Come together! timeram.com/2026/08/01/e...

Gween! The colour for this episode is gween! Join Time Ram as we take ‘In the Forest of the Night’ and reimagine it with the Second Doctor. Who is Johnny Morris, and does he mean the Doctor any harm? And what does a tiger do when no-one is looking? timeram.com/2026/07/17/e...

Time Ram finds itself in Davey Jones’ locker as we take Matt Smith’s ‘The Curse of the Black Spot’ and update it to the Ncuti Gatwa era! In the process we discover dodgy story logic, characters who should be dead, characters who shouldn’t be dead and a CGI Eileen Way. timeram.com/2026/07/04/e...

Time Ram examines ‘The Power of the Daleks’, but leave the Patrick Troughton, it’s Sylvester McCoy we want, as we adapt this story to 1987! Prepare yourselves for blue tinsel, Sabalom Glitz and playing the spoons on Governor Hensell. And also… Y-Fronts. timeram.com/2026/06/05/e...

I've seen suggestions online that the next Doctor should be David Bradley. I mean, yes, that would be wonderful, he's a great actor - but the guy is 84 years old now. I'm all for an older Doctor, but would he really be up to the punishing schedule of a whole series?

Time Ram goes for a gold meddle performance, as we muddle the Twelfth Doctor into the middle of The Time Meddler. Who will win when the Geordies take on the Vikings? Do cows really wear space helmets? Find out – but be warned, you might end up feeling completely knacked. timeram.com/2026/05/23/e...

Time Ram goes north of the border as we evaluate ‘The Highlanders’ in the Tom Baker era. At least we can see it now! And what a gem it is, with Lulu in a beard, 6 foot 3 inch washerwomen, and Peckinpah-levels of blood on screen. Plus we learn: who do you call a peasant? timeram.com/2026/05/09/e...

Time Ram enters the mind of Doctor Who producer Russell T Davies as we take Peter Capaldi’s ‘Into the Dalek’ on a fantastic voyage into the David Tennant era. In the process we incur Adric’s fury and create the next hit Dalek soap opera. timeram.com/2026/04/11/e...

It’s Time Ram, the Doctor Who podcast that plays all the right stories, just not necessarily in the right order. This time, Pertwee’s ‘The Claws of Axos’ gets re-booted for T. Baker. And what a different story it is, with Peter Pratt, Swedish Chef and a lot less yellow! timeram.com/2026/03/28/e...

Time Ram changes Doctor Who forever as we take Peter Davison’s ‘Four to Doomsday’ and re-adapt for Paul McGann! We also answer some vital questions along the way. How does the Doctor age? Velvet jackets on and let’s space walk like it’s 1996. Or 1982. One of them. timeram.com/2026/03/15/e...

Time Ram dips its toe into history to bring us Jodie Whittaker's 'Rosa' which has now been shifted into the Tom Baker era... which seems unlikely. We are going with it and discovering who keeps a third eye under their Stetson and why the meddling Monk is superior. timeram.com/2026/02/14/e...

Time Ram enjoys a cup of tea with two lumps (and sugar) as we take on the famously unfinished Shada, finishing it off with Patrick Troughton. Oh well, at least it’s festive, what with Jamie’s deadly porridge pot, long actresses and a song from Kamelion. timeram.com/2025/12/20/e...
