We return to Who with a tale of secret enemies, ostentatious acting and stentorian asides.

Will the Keeper ever escape his shower cubicle?

Will aubergines ever replace Rice Krispies?

Will Tom Baker ever wipe his nose?

And will The Keeper of Traken give Jim and Martin a new lease of life or leave them calcified?

Thanks for listening!

Roving reporter, Sarah Jane Smith, gets more of a scoop than she bargained for when she gatecrashes UNIT's scientist sleepover.

But although she meets a roistering robber baron, a lily-livered lord and a stranded space toad (not to mention Dot Cotton and Boba Fett), she fails to get an interview with any of them.

The First Doctor and chums go for a whistle-stop tour of the wonderful world of Marinus.

Which is a great holiday venue, providing you avoid its cities, mountains, seas and jungles. And the intrepid traveller should also beware of flappy-footed gimps, trouserless tour guides, randy trappers and the Knights Who Say "Ni".

The Doctor and Romana go on their hols for a water and bouillabaisse blowout by the banks of the Seine. 

Naturally, things do not run smoothly as an ancient alien, a mad scientist and a pugilistic private dick muddy the waters and they're surrounded by fake, if enigmatic, smiles.

The Third Doctor probably thought things were bad enough - stuck on Earth as he was with a dud TARDIS, a scatty hippy and a bunch of squaddies.

But now he has to contend with CSO in his sink, a bunch of Mr Blobbys on his lawn and a loud-mouthed mentalist with a grudge. Luckily his former selves turn up to make things even worse. 

Back to re-uploading our 30 earliest episodes...

Avian headgear ahoy! Yes, the Black and White Guardians are back to oversee a space race in which Turlough goes overboard, Gladys Emmanuel is over the top and Leeee John is overestimated as an actor.

Jim and Martin spring a festive surprise with some new Krynoid PodCast material!

They scan the snowless Snowdonian slopes for monstrous myths and find the Doctor giving an old friend a bell, Victoria repeating herself and Jamie threatening everyone with a bagpipe recital.

But did The Abominable Snowmen thaw their cockles or do they give it the cold shoulder. Listen to find out!

Merry Christmas and have a wonderful 2023!

The Sixth Doctor gets a second chance with this tale of hard men, frigid women and a Fat Controller. And marvel as Jim shamelessly steals Fry and Laurie material in the intro.

Time for the story which gave our pod its name. A horticultural tale in which an artistic old bat recovers a debt, a tree-hugger becomes compost and Boycie ends up out of his depth with a gardening problem.

Burn your chess boards and steer clear of the beach... Fenric's in town! Look out for teenage vamps, ancient vampires and the strangest chat-up of all time. And give Nicholas Parsons just a minute of your time before crying "stunt casting!"
