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

  • 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!

  • Psychoville with Pete Lambert
    Jun 8 2026

    How does one categorise Psychoville? The answer is... with difficulty. It's a comedy, but there's drama, there's mystery and there's a thriller in there too. There's also a fair amount of Black Lace.

    This week I'm joined by Pete Lambert as we try to unravel the enigma that is Pyschoville with a gallery of characters that almost defy explanation. We also navigate a minefield of spoilers because this is a series full of twists and turns and we don't want to give everything away.

    But let's put it this way, you'll never look at a Club biscuit in the same way again!

  • Doctor Korczak and the Children with Toby Hadoke
    Jun 1 2026

    This week Toby Hadoke and I take a trip back to 1962 for an edition of the BBC Drama anthology series Studio 4 - Doctor Korczak and the Children. Doctor Who fans might be familiar opening moments of this TV play as we see Paddy Russell, later to direct The Massacre and more, greet the actors.

    And that should let you know that this play is something quite different. No sets, no costumes. Just the actors and a sad story from World War 2.

    This was a fascinating play to watch and discuss in depth with Toby as well as further thoughts on drama and the world we live in today.

    Lessons from history are tough and so are the lessons in this play.
