102. He's Punching Himself a Lintel
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 1 minutes and 19 secondsBen and Mark discuss pain, anguish, death and loss in another hilarious episode of On the Time Lash which pairs 2015's Heaven Sent with 1982's Time Flight. Heaven Sent: Paul McEvoy writes in to tell us all about the beauty of Murray Gold's score, Mark tries to structure the plot around the Kubler-Ross 5 stages of grief, and Ben unpicks the clockwork mechanisms of Steven Moffat's tremendous script. Time-Flight: What would this be like as a Pertwee story? ponders Mark on his first viewing of a much-derided story, but will he toe the line or dissent from fan consensus? Meanwhile, Ben introduces the ropiest conspiracy theory you'll hear all year and discusses what Time-Flight had to offer his younger self as he started out on his Doctor Who journey.

94. Danny, SPLINK
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 0 minutes and 40 seconds*With thanks to our listener Paul McEvoy for the title suggestion It's the darkest day, the blackest hour. Chin up, shoulders back, let's see what Ben and Mark are made of as they tackle the existential horrors of 'Dark Water' and 'Death in Heaven'. Under discussion: How careful do you have to be when dealing with death and real world tragedy in what's ostensibly a family show? Whose internal conflict was greater this series - the Doctor's or Steven Moffat's? And most pressingly of all, what is all of this for? After that they squelch their way through Malcolm Clarke's synth soundtrack to discuss another Master plan - 1972's The Sea Devils. Under discussion: nudey monsters, the refinement of Roger Delgado, 70's electronic music and larking about with the Navy. If you enjoy the podcast, you can buy us a coffee here.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 48 minutes and 9 secondsAs the Doctor and Clara visit Bristol in 'Flatline', Mark advocates toppling 'The Celestial Toymaker' off a harbour in an oddly topical, yet mostly trivial new episode of On the Time Lash.
