"The oldest question in the universe, hidden in plain sight." Finally, a podcast where we talk about a Doctor Who story and then make up a gameshow about it. Every week, two contestants join quizmaster Mark Harrison to discuss our favourite adventures in time and space and then answer questions and rounds loosely inspired by them.

    Listen: The Halloween Gameshow

    Happy Halloween! Join us, if you dare, on a Most Haunted-style tour of the locations from 2014's psychological chiller Listen. In this spooky special, comedian Colleen Cheetham-Gerrard and podcaster Richie Morgan test their knowledge of everything but Doctor Who and confront some childhood fears along the way. Contains scary scenes, conversations with dead people, and accidental ASMR.

  • S1E6 The Green Death: The Gameshow
    19 Sep 2026

    Everything has led to this! That's how consecutive order works. In the epic season finale, the Third Doctor has gone AWOL and only Dylan Rees (Too Hot For TV) and Mikey Smith (Mikey and Who) can save a gameshow based on 1973's The Green Death. Which of them will get the reserve scientific adviser job? Are giant maggots more of science or nature? And who is the BOSS in deepest, darkest Wales?

  • S1E5 Fear Her: The Gameshow
    12 Sep 2026

    Yep, it's a gameshow based on the one where the Tenth Doctor lights the Olympic flame! Writers Andrew Blair and Chris Farnell join Mark for a sports and leisure quiz that keeps getting distracted from 2006's Fear Her. Do our contestants have what it takes to make gameshow gold on A First Question Of Sport? Or will they be reported to the council?
