C155 The Greatest Show in the Galaxy

There are hundreds of Doctor Who episodes and stories out there and we intend to watch them all! Not just that – We’ll watch, review, discuss, debate, rate and praise and/or poke holes in every episode of Doctor Who, starting with the 1963 pilot. That’s right; we’re beginning with William Hartnell and then working our way forward through time, episode by episode and Doctor by Doctor. In parallel, we’re also reviewing New Who, starting with Eccleston in the 2005 revival. At the time of writing this, we’re already well into the Tom Baker and Peter Capaldi eras! From comparing Dalek and Cybermen military strategems to ranking companions by hairstyle, we’ve got it covered.

Binged this podcast until I caught up all the way. The hosts see &#34;Doctor Who&#34; the same way I do: utterly fantastic in spite of its many, many, many flaws. As someone who is capable of fully enjoying the show despite almost always seeing myriad problems with every storyline, I appreciate their ability to poke fun without losing the love.

My only real beef with Who Back When is that sometimes the hosts, while able to recap each story in great detail, don&#39;t seem to actually pay that much attention to the storytelling. In many episodes, at least one of them misses or misinterprets at least one plot point or other detail, and (if we&#39;re lucky) has to be corrected by a co-host. Sometimes they *all* miss major plot points.

But that&#39;s no less frustrating than most episodes of &#34;Doctor Who&#34; itself, and like &#34;Doctor Who&#34; itself, I very much enjoy Who Back When in spite of its flaws.

Most fun "Who" podcast, poking fun while paying homage

This is an amazing podcast! It is so full of life and the hosts to such a good job at rating and reviewing the episodes. All in all I give this a 13 out of 13 doctors!!!!!!
