A TARDIS of One’s Own

Ep 4: Aliens of London/World War Three & physical conformity

Rose's homecoming isn't quite what she imagined, and the moment is well and truly ruined when a spaceship crashes into Big Ben. It's all downhill from there... no, literally, we did not enjoy these episodes. But the whole Slitheen thing did make us wonder about the act of physical conformity, and the different ways the pressure of having to do so impact on people's lives. There are so many ways we have to physically conform in order to fit into society's little boxes.

Ep 3: The Unquiet Dead & witchcraft and religion

A visit to Cardiff in 1869 goes awry as the dead go walking and only a woman who can talk with spirits can help. Crack out the ouija board, cause we're taking this opportunity to talk about the double standard between witchcraft and religion.

Ep 2: The End of the World & the future is female

We're off to the year 5 billion to witness the destruction of earth. While Rose is not having a good time, we're wondering if the future is, in fact, female and if that's even something feminism aspires to.

Ep 1: Rose & the colour pink

Welcome to A TARDIS of One's Own! In the premiere episode we explain what we're doing with this pod and then get right into things by discussing Rose, the first episode of the new Who revival, and ask ourselves... what's the deal with the colour pink?
