No… It’s Not Doctor Who! The podcast about other TV shows you should watch

This is a podcast for people who love television and for people who want to find new shows to try out. Or perhaps to find out more about the TV programmes they love. There is just one rule, my guests bring a favourite programme of theirs so long as it’s not Doctor Who.

Because there are other TV shows out there.

In each episode my special guest brings a TV show that they want to talk about and tells me why they love it, what it means to them and why you should give it a try.

There’s a whole range of TV programmes being discussed from classic BBC comedies such as Blackadder and One Foot in the Grave to drama including Prisoner Cell Block H, Star Trek Deep Space Nine and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

If you love television then you’ll love this show and my brilliant guests

  • The New Avengers with Joe Ford
    Jun 29 2026

    It's the last of the current series but don't worry we're going out with a bang. A bang with some funky 70s guitar as Joe Ford and I take a trip to the 1970s for The New Avengers.

    This is a enthusiastic discussion over a series that has had it's fair share of detractors over the years but it has found a champion with Joe. To such an extent he has some very interesting thoughts on the original series of The Avengers.

    So there are some strong opinions and some strong language as well as we find out what makes Steed, Gambit and Purdey work so well as a team!

  • The Young Ones with Dan Pinn
    Jun 22 2026

    It's time to join the zany antics of the four Young Ones... This week a sitcom that's quite hard to define. Part sitcom, part sketch show, part light entertainment (they have a lion tamer at one point!) but it's all funny.

    My guest Dan Pinn discusses his choice of The Young Ones and we delve into why it makes us laugh, the characters, the guest stars and the best random side jokes. Just don't expect it to be in any sort of a logical order. But if you've seen The Young Ones, it will make complete sense.

    And if you haven't seen it, I really hope this encourages you to give it a try.

  • CBeebies with Frazer Gregory
    Jun 15 2026

    And now for something completely different. This week it's not a programme that my guest has brought, it's an entire channel. Aimed at children. Surely we won't be able to find that much to say about children's television?

    If you thought that, you'd be wrong. Frazer Gregory returns to the show and we have a canter through some of the best that CBeebies has to offer as well as looking back at the TV we grew up with in the 80s and 90s.

    So if you’ve heard of Bluey or Hey Duggee and have no idea what they are, come and find out more. It’s well worth your time! And one thing is for sure... you'll have the Stick song in your head for all time!
