By: David Lever & Thomas Musgrove
  • Summary

  • The Twelfth Doctor once said Hate is always foolish, and love is always wise.Always Foolish is a positive Doctor Who podcast, exploring the good side of 'bad' episodes. Or episodes people think are bad.


    We'll be tackling negative discourse head-on by discussing where these stories fall down, how they could be improved, and what's actually pretty darn great about them, thank you very much. And along the way there'll be news, impressions, and many, many tangents.

    Can we ever know what this episode about, or is that the point? What did Kier Starmer's dad do for a living? What was RTD saying politically? Why is Ruby pro-animal testing? Can we make that ending make sense? And just how long is a yard? Answers to all these questions on this episode of Always Foolish.
