Doctor Who: The Daleks' Master Plan (Eps 1-3)

Doctor Who: Love & Monsters
Ant & Nic. Love & Monsters. Left & Right. Why settle for ONE commentary on this episode when you can have TWO? Probably because it's absolutely unlisenable... but surely more enjoyable than the episode itself. Please listen responsibly. Find out more at https://pressplaypod.pinecast.co This…

Doctor Who: The TV Movie
Episode Notes HAPPY 60th ANNIVERSARY, DOCTOR WHO! We're back... and it's not about Crime... One year before Jeff Slade parkoured onto the nation's screens, Doctor Who came back from the dead for one night only, as Paul McGann took the keys to the TARDIS. Join us as we try something slightly...

S1E7 - Crime Traveller Episode 7: The Lottery Experiment
You're luck's in! We reach the zenith of the series a little late, considering this is the penultimate episode. Slade has numbers (as well as sparkling wine) on the brain, but pays the price for being in two places at once when a £3 million stash of gold is stolen on Grisham's watch... oops! Will...

The Vanishing Man: Pilot - Pt 1

S1E5 - Crime Traveller Episode 5: Sins of the Father
The banana doesn't fall far from the tree in the Slade family it seems. Must be in the jeans... Jeff finds history repeating itself, and so do we as we talk about episode five of Crime Traveller for the third time. Slade Sr. puts in an appearance, Morris does acrobatics worthy of Cirque du Soleil...
-
S1E4 - Crime Traveller Episode 4: The Revenge of the Chronology Protection Hypothesis
If only we could travel back to the start of the year and start again, eh? This... erm... special lockdown edition of the podcast sees Jeff trying to socially distance from the man who is destined to shoot him, a delightful chap called John Crowley. Is Jeff's fate sealed, or can Holly save the…
