When we last saw the Doctor and new companion Romana, they were about to be executed! ***SPOILERS AHEAD*** This is your last chance for not being spoiled for the remaining 2 parts of ‘The Ribos Operation’. (Your funeral mate... you’ve been warned...) And... the lead of the show shockingly didn’t get killed. Nope. Not one bit. But whilst the Doctor remained living, Binro been killed, the Seeker met her maker and the Graff blowed up real good! At least the first segment for the Key of Time was found. Worth it.

Join us as we begin a podcast mini-series where we watch an entire broadcast-series of classic era Doctor Who. The one where the Doctor was tasked by the White Guardian to locate the 6 part Key to Time before his counter-part the Black Guardian absconds with said key to do... bad stuff I guess? We’re watching series 16 to be exact; the first ever series of classic-Who to tackle a season long arc. First up we watch parts 1 and 2 of ‘The Ribos Operation’ where the Doctor was voluntold to pair up with fellow Time Lord Romana (Romanadvernatlundar to her friends thank you very much...) whilst trying to find the first segment of the Key to Time. I did say there’s six of those there keys, right?

In this 24th episode of our Deja Brew series where we re-watch Doctor Who episodes covered years back, we do said thingy for the 10th Doctor’s swan song: ‘The End Of Time’ parts 1 and 2. We begin with the Master returning to life and treating London like an all-you-care-to-eat buffet, Wilf searching for the Doctor with every horny London pensioner, and then end up with the Doctor not wanting to go (spoilers... this face will keep returning... eye roll... ). Whilst this all occurs, Martha marries Mickey (wha?), Donna wins the lottery (yeah!), and the Tardis explodes with this Doctor’s regenergy(?!?). Geronimo bitches!

This here 23rd Deja Brew Nu Who re-watch-a-thon first finds that ‘The Next Doctor’ isn’t... about the next Doctor that is. Whilst said titular gaslighting is occurring, the Doctor travels to mid 19th century London (again?) to thwart a BCG (Big Cyber Giant). Next up on the roster is ‘Planet Of The Dead’ where the Doctor travels to contemporary London (of course) to thwart an invasion of BMLs (Big Metal Locusts). Rounding home plate we finally get to ‘The Waters Of Mars’ where the Doctor travels to the Red Planet in the near future (it follows) to thwart TMVs (Tiny Martian Viruses). So this triple play was ultimately about the Doctor thwarting TDV (The Doctor Victorious)? I guess they hit it out of the park. Sports!

Our 22nd Deja Brew podcast starts off with ‘Turn Left’ where Donna goes on a Capra-esque journey whilst the Doctor wisely sits this one out to get a Brazilian. Next up is ‘The Stolen Earth’ where the Doctor and Donna find that the Earth has been…well…stolen. Fortunately all the spin offs were free to phone in a tip on how to find it. Finally we have ‘Journey’s End’ where Donna returns to her old life totally ‘wiped out’ whilst the Doctor tells Rose to ‘talk to the hand’. Oh! And don’t forget Daleks speaking German. Willkommen auf der Erde, bitches!

Continuing with the 21st Nu-Who-Deja-Brew-Re-Watch-Mini-Series (but really…isn’t it a Maxi-Series by now?), we got some here bangers on this here episode! ‘Silence In The Library’ has the Doctor and Donna try to find out (Hey!) who turned out the lights(!) whilst ‘Forest Of The Dead’ spoil(er)s the manner of death for future companion(ish) Professor River Song. Then ‘Midnight’ has Donna wisely not go on the educational field trip…that nearly has the Doctor jettisoned out an airlock bee tee dubs…so that she can get an awesome mani-pedi! Do Donna’s drapes match the curtains? Spoilers sweeties! Oh…that’s not a nail thing? Whoopsies…

The 20th Deja Brew podcast leads off with ‘The Poison Sky’ where an early adopter of the man-o-sphere sees the errors of his ways and blows himself up real good in order to prevent an invasion of Sontarans... of his own making tho so F that guy! ‘The Doctor’s Daughter’ follows with said daughter/clone of the Doctor being introduced and never mentioned/referenced again much to the chagrin of co-host Steve... whilst co-host John secretly/openly cackles at Steve’s chagrin-ery. Last up ‘The Unicorn And The Wasp’ finds the Doctor and Donna cos-playing a live action game of Clue. I correctly guessed Agatha Christie in the 1920’s with an alien Wasp! Twenty-three skidoo!

The Deja Brews continues with the 19th podcast of this here mini-series where we re-watch old nu-Who. Continuing with series 4’s ‘The Fires Of Pompeii’ where the Doctor and Martha take a light-hearted jaunt to the past whilst unwittingly causing the deaths of thousands. ‘Planet Of The Ood’ finds our duo taking a light-hearted jaunt to the future whilst unwittingly taking part in a slave uprising. Lastly (for this podcast episode at least) ‘The Sontaran Stratagem’ reunites the Doctor with Martha whilst Donna unwittingly traps her grandfather in a deadly car. Apparently this podcast was unwittingly brought to you by adverbs.

We rejoin our rewatch mini-series already in progress with our 18th Deja Brew episode. Whilst jumping back into old nu-Who series 4, we start off with ‘Voyage Of The Damned’ where the Doctor goes on an adventure of Poseidon proportions after meeting Astrid, a woman he just can’t get outta his head. Next up is ‘Partners In Crime’ where the Doctor and Donna Noble reunite to mate... erm... be mates! After said friend-zoning intentionally occurs, Rose shows up yet again to friend-block the new duo. Seriously Rose, let the man move on with his lives!

We conclude our ‘War On Sobriety’ by watching the fifth and final episode of the Doctor Whojacent series ‘The War Between The Land And The Sea’. ‘The End Of The War’ accomplishes what the title promises by turning totally normal bloke Barclay into an unwitting biological weapon. Because said weapon craves those fishy kisses from Salt, Barclay infects her and then she infects two friends, and they infect two friends, and so on and so on... until 90 percent of the Sea Devils die as a result of this interspecies lip-locking! But at least Barclay and Salt get to swim off into the sunset whilst Kate goes apeshit on some douche litterbug. So... happy ending?

‘The Witch And The Waterfall’ is the fourth episode of our ‘War On Sobriety’ mini-series where inst we continue to take a magnifying glass to the ‘Doctor Who’ spin-off: ‘The War Between The Land And The Sea’. Whilst punctuation and run-on sentences continue to be tortured for these podcast descriptions, totally normal bloke Barclay goes on the run with Salt, Salt discovers Barclay tastes of salt, and they finally have their ‘Shape of Water’ moment. Off screen of course because nobody wants to see that. Well maybe purported ichthyophiliac Troy McClure would. Allegedly.

We’re still conducting our ‘War On Sobriety’ by discussing ‘The Deep’, the third episode of ‘The War Between The Land And The Sea’, the Doctor Whojacent mini-series. This time totally normal bloke Barclay agrees to meet with Salt on their home turf: five miles under water. Whilst Barclay hopes his submersible doesn’t go full ‘Titan’ on the trip down, Kate is fighting to prevent the titans of industry from imploding the tenuous truce with the Sea Devils, and Colonel Ibrahim wants his and Kate’s relationship to go public. Unfortunately his wish may be granted posthumously. RIP Colonel Sexy.

On February 22nd in the year of Time Lord 2016, yet another podcast hosted by two middle aged white guys (unimaginatively named Steve and John) talking about Doctor Who was vomited onto the internets. This one was way different: in that our third friend Al Cohol was officially made a co-host. (He normally likes to keep things on the down low... but is usually a part of most podcasts... right?) To celebrate our 10th podcastaversary, please to enjoy our ‘proof of concept’ recording where we used Star Trek in place of Doctor Who so as not to ‘burn’ any usable material. Whilst listening to us be far too inebriated for our current comfort, feel free to judge John on how snippy he becomes with Steve, and have a shot every time Steve says he drank too much beer. Hold on. Our (non-existent) attorneys say not to do that. Actually, they said ‘For the love of all that’s holy and otherwise, do not advise anyone to do that!’. Whatever Poindexter. Mazel tav!

We continue ‘The War On Sobriety’ by watching the second episode of ‘The War Between The Land And The Sea’ titled ‘Plastic Apocalypse’. Whilst totally normal bloke Barclay settles uneasily into his role as the human ambassador, his Sea Devil counterpart takes a shine to his aw-shucks demeanor; then creates a literal shit-storm over the land by returning our trash and... well... shit. All that plus Kate gets bizay with Colonel Sexy, big business conspires with the military to take out the Sea Devils, and Salt hulks out. So yeah, don’t piss them off.

We begin a new mini-series we’re calling ‘The War On Sobriety’ where we cover the Doctor Whojacent mini-series ‘The War Between The Land And The Sea’. First up is episode one titled ‘Aqua Homo’ in which we are introduced to totally normal bloke Barclay. Unfortunately Barclay is treading water since he’s in way over his head... and paygrade... when he is called in as an ‘expert’ to bear witness to Earth’s prior inhabitants resurfacing from... well... the sea. Whilst these Sea Devils (or Homospondyls if you’re woke) just want us to stop pooping in their habitat, Barclay ends up humanity’s ambassador just cuz he’s a nice and totally normal bloke. And that’s why I’m an asshat. Nobody expects much from an asshat.

We conclude our latest relapse by watching the remaining three episodes of this 3rd Doctor serial “The Sea Devils” featuring... well, you know... the Sea Devils! Whilst the said titular Sea Devils finally start to wreak havoc, it turns out (surprise?) the Master is just using them to achieve his nefarious ends. Until the Sea Devils flip the script (surprise!) on the Master and use him to achieve their nefarious ends! Plus the Doctor and Jo are there too until the story ends abruptly! Like this description. Just like that. Damn... why can’t I just stop? Just ask Steve. Cuz he’ll enable me. Thanks Steve!

257 - Lucky Relapse 13: When I Drink I See Devils
Drunktor Who

In this latest podcast episode, we take a slow walk down memory lane by watching the first half of 6 episodes where the 3rd incarnation of the Doctor takes a boat trip with then companion Jo Grant to check in on the super-duper-evil yet super-duper-well-guarded-prisoner (ha!) the Master on a remote (?) island prison where we hope they eventually encounter our titular foes: “The Sea Devils”. Whilst we see said devilry going down, not much happens. Or to paraphrase Ian Malcolm: “Are we going to see any Sea Devils in this Sea Devil story?”

We continue our Doctor Who re-watch by discussing Series 3’s final three episodes in our 17th Deja Brew podcast all whilst I attempt to make this description seem less tortured from the last one. Firstly, in “Utopia”, Captain Jack’s return is overshadowed by the return of the Master. Think of the Master as the Tweety Bird to the Doctor’s Puddy Tat. Or is that the other way around? Nextly, “The Sound of Drums” finds the newly regenerated Master elected as evil Prime Minister. Harriet Jones must be rolling in her grave. Wait? She’s not dead... yet? Lastly “Last of the Time Lords” has Martha traveling the globe to save the Doctor’s ass. She then f’s off afterwards because she finally got sick of being the rebound companion. A sincere “Thank You” to an underappreciated companion from the Drunktor Whovians.

Deja Brew 16 celebrates the re-discussion of the two part series 3 story comprising “Human Nature” and “The Family of Blood” where Martha puts up with a whole bunch of crap whilst the Doctor cosplays being a love-struck human in love. Though sadly for Martha said human is not Martha. Sad face. Meanwhilst the B plot finds an alien family tortured for all eternity by the Doctor. I mean they had it coming with all the killings and stuff but our hero is supposed to be above such petty shite. Oh wait. I forgot which Doctor this is. Carry on...

Our 15th Deja Brew mini-series podcast Nu-Who re-watch (deep breath) continues with the last three (mostly) unrelated episodes from Series 3. In “The Lazarus Experiment” Martha and the Doctor battle a relentless monster: Martha’s Mum! Oh... and a giant scorpion man. “42” has Martha trying to reason with a monster: her Mum! Oh... and a sentient star. Lastly “Blink” finds the Doctor and Martha mostly sidelined whilst the Weeping Angels make their triumphant debut! But I’m sure Mother Jones was thinking of ways Mr. Saxon could get them both shoe-horned into this episode too.
