Doctor Who: The Pharos Project Podcast

Guerrilla podcasting in a pseudo New Wave Punk Revivalist old-school photocopied ransom note fanzine stylee. Or a clutch of Whovians getting tanked up and whittering about kids TV when they can get themselves organised. Take your pick. WARNING: Contains fruity language.

Pharos Project 260: Merry Christmas Mr Lynam 02/20/2024

Pharos Project 260: Merry Christmas Mr Lynam A mere two months late, we have a look at the 15th Doctor's debut in the 2023 Christmas special, "The Church on Ruby Road". /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/30030003

Pharos Project 259: Doctor Who and the Free Bus Pass 01/09/2024

Pharos Project 259: Doctor Who and the Free Bus Pass Fresh from an extended stay in the Balkans at His Majesty's pleasure, the Projecteers are back to look at the 60th anniversary Doctor Who gubbins. Brace for collision with a heady mix of unfiltered Who chat, middle aged people being confused by technology and good old fashioned vulgarity. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/29399273

Pharos Project 258: The Beast with Twelve Cocks 10/22/2022

Pharos Project 258: The Beast with Twelve Cocks In a change of plans, we delve into the 1977 Doctor Who story "Image of the Fendahl". This episode is dedicated to Jasper, who was the best dog ever and who passed shortly before this recording. He is fucking missed. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/24765900

Pharos Project 257: Days of Plunder 06/25/2022

Pharos Project 257: Days of Plunder Ahoy, mateys! In this episode, Michael Caine has a shocker when he decides to take his horrendous child with him to investigate disappearances on the ocean waves. They run afoul of pirate David Warner, pirate Don Henderson off that bit in Star Wars and Pirate Tinker out of Lovejoy. It's 1980's "The Island". /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/23535941

Pharos Project 256: The Arnimatrix 05/10/2022

Pharos Project 256: The Arnimatrix Nothing says 80's movie like a huge fella nipping about and shooting people willy-nilly. Here, we talk about the daddy of them all, 1985's Commando. *This episode was recorded before the big Doctor Who casting news this week, which we all knew about anyway, but were sworn to secrecy. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/23060153

Pharos Project 255: Pas Un Film De Loup Garou 04/01/2022

Pharos Project 255: Pas Un Film De Loup Garou Bonjour et bienvenue to a very French episode of the podcast. Join us as we watch "Brotherhood of the Wolf", a film about a French, horny, old time David Attenborough type fella chasing a monster around in the rain. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/22653800

Pharos Project 254: The Tally of 2021 02/07/2022

Pharos Project 254: The Tally of 2021 We are back again and as its still quite near the new year, we decided to talk about all the stuff we watched in 2021, including the Flux season of Doctor Who and other assorted guff. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/22055534

Pharos Project 253: Lace and Frankie 06/07/2021

Pharos Project 253: Lace and Frankie It's the long awaited return of Hammer to the podcast as we look at Frankenstein Created Woman starring the always brilliant Peter Cushing. No news this week so we dive straight into the movie. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/19392215

Pharos Project 252: The Young and the Vestless 05/21/2021

Pharos Project 252: The Young and the Vestless This week Mr. Chris decided to unfairly punish Mr. Paul and Little Pete for no reason and make them watch Zardoz from 1974. The git. Movie review starts at 21 minutes. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/19185851

Pharos Project 251: What we Chew in the Shadows 05/07/2021

Pharos Project 251: What we Chew in the Shadows Somehow, the powers that be have allowed Pete to survive another year of his tortured existence. To celebrate this we gave him a free choice of movie to watch for this episode (yes we did, don't argue) and he chose 1999's Ravenous. The weirdo. Movie review begins at 17 minutes. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/19026608

Pharos Project 250: Some Like it Ottoia 03/31/2021

Pharos Project 250: Some Like it Ottoia After having to watch a right dog last episode, when we looked at a Stephen Sommers directed monster movie, we decided to do something entirely different. This time we are watching a monster movie that has been directed by Stephen Sommers, 1998's "Deep Rising". Movie review begins at 24 mins. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/18545717

Pharos Project 249: A Hugh to a Kill 03/13/2021

Pharos Project 249: A Hugh to a Kill This was meant to be an episode where we chatted about a bland Jason Statham movie, but (mentioning no names) It was Pete ultimately decided that we should and Chris watch a Huge Action crap-fest from 2004. It's Van Helsing. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/18307061

Pharos Project 248: The Silence of the Fam 03/03/2021

Pharos Project 248: The Silence of the Fam Yes, it is very late. From way back in January 2021 we present our review of the New Year's special episode of Doctor Who, Revolution of the Daleks. Also included at no extra charge, a carefully curated "vintage news" segment. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/18169094

Pharos Project 247: Christmas Special 2020 01/03/2021

Pharos Project 247: Christmas Special 2020 Die Hard 2 is so blatantly a Christmas movie because its a sequel to another Christmas movie. You wouldn't make Sister Act 2 and leave out the nuns. Suck it. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/17406356

Pharos Project 246: The Lock of Time Part Two 12/10/2020

Pharos Project 246: The Lock of Time Part Two Doctors 2, 7 and 11 continue their quest to locate all the pieces of the lock of time and save the multiverse, OR three idiots nob about at a role playing game in an attempt to frustrate another idiot. Again. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/17135615

Pharos Project 245: Halloween Special 2020 11/01/2020

Pharos Project 245: Halloween Special 2020 Happy Halloween!! This year we celebrated by letting Chris do lots of news and watching 2018's Overlord. We enjoyed one of those things. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/16632161

Pharos Project 244: Phoenix Nights 10/10/2020

Pharos Project 244: Phoenix Nights Yes, life got in the bloody way again for a bit, but now we are back. It's almost like we were frozen for a while, only to be thawed out later to fight a terrible evil. Time Lord Victorious tat! Oh, and we watched Demolition Man. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/16349009

Pharos Project 243: Fun with Dick and Bane 09/04/2020

Pharos Project 243: Fun with Dick and Bane This bat-week on this bat-episode, we watch an absolute bat-turd of a film. It's Batman and Robin from 1997. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/15879074

Pharos Project 242: Along Came Brolly 08/18/2020

Pharos Project 242: Along Came Brolly This week, thanks to Mr Chris' brain, we end up staring into the incomprehensible charm void that is the awful 1998 film "The Avengers". /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/15653987

Pharos Project 241: The Lock of Time Part One 07/30/2020

Pharos Project 240: The Ration of the Zeist 07/16/2020

Pharos Project 240: The Ration of the Zeist Could an industrial prehuman civilization have existed on Earth? Is it possible that aliens are already here and living among us? Can a director's cut really save a bad film? No. Here's the renegade cut of Highlander 2. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/15231335

Pharos Project 239: A Dogman for All Seasons 07/02/2020

Pharos Project 239: A Dogman for All Seasons In a chaotic episode, Pete makes room for poultry and goes missing, Chris purchases 6 fine onions and Paul offers an apology 10 years too late. They also talk about 1985's "Silver Bullet", but not often. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/15067619

Pharos Project 238: Children of the Drawn 06/17/2020

Pharos Project 238: Children of the Drawn We didn't think we would still be doing this either, but somehow we forgot that we usually bugger off after a few episodes. Blame Little Pete, and his instance on talking about the movie "PaperHouse", from 1988. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/14854445

Pharos Project 237: By the Pricking of my Thumbs 06/02/2020

Pharos Project 237: By the Pricking of my Thumbs In a desperate, last ditch effort to avoid acknowledging the end of lockdown, the Projecteers bravely agree to watch and talk about a movie... ...1983's Something Wicked This Way Comes. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/14673602

Pharos Project 236: The Long Chris Goodnight 05/27/2020

Pharos Project 236: The Long Chris Goodnight This week, we are joined by 4th Projecteer Miss Natalie, as we take a long overdue look at the 13th Doctor. Also, has Chris Chibnall saved or fu**ed the show by tinkering with mythology. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/14592704

Pharos Project 235: Frost in Translation 05/21/2020

Pharos Project 235: Frost in Translation We take our last look at a classic Who story for a while as Mr Chris pokes The Ice Warriors at us. Time to get our Troughton. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/14515370

Pharos Project 234: Myrkaholics 05/12/2020

Pharos Project 234: Myrkaholics Desperate for human contact during lockdown, the Projecteers resort to an examination of the final days of Sweaty Ron, as detailed in "Warriors of the Deep". /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/14392124

Pharos Project 233: Holiday on the Buses 05/06/2020

Pharos Project 233: Holiday on the Buses In a failed experiment to reverse the polarity of the pootron flow emanating from Little Pete's cack encrusted mitts, we've ended up having to watch Delta and the Bannermen. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/14311736

Pharos Project 232: A Snot in the Dark 04/29/2020

Pharos Project 232: A Snot in the Dark To conclude our trilogy of lockdown themed episodes (yes, that was always the intention and not something we only just noticed) we look at the 1977 Tom Baker classic, Horror of Fang Rock. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/14204573

Pharos Project 231: From Husk Till Dawn 04/22/2020

Pharos Project 231: From Husk Till Dawn Once more the Projecteers return, unedited and poorly recorded. We may be confined, but we take solace in the fact that we are not being menaced by red cauliflower footballs, kicked over the fence into the lady garden of evil. Unlike that lot in Terror of the Vervoids. /episode/index/show/thepharosproject/id/14096048
