About this listen

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.

  • We lost our minds over Mrs Flood Theories
    May 11 2025

    On this little bonus episode, David takes Tom through his top Mrs Flood conspiracy theories. Is she the Rani? Is she a god? Is she no one of particular note? Get ready to get hype, or if you're hearing this later, get ready to laugh at how silly we were because she was obviously Tara from the Androids of Tara.


    Always Foolish is a positive Doctor Who podcast, about finding things we like in episodes we don't. We pick out our favourite bits for these stories, and suggest quick fixes to some common critiques.

  • The Robot Revolution
    Apr 29 2025

    On this episode we're revolting against our usual format to discuss the Season 15 opener, The Robot Revolution.


    Is this an effective season opener? Do we need more dead cats? Does RTD handle incels and coercion appropriately? What about K9's X-rated spin-off? What do we think of the spiky Doctor-Belinda dynamic? Is David an American sleeper agent? Why do we love retrofuturism? And could we be dealing with a god of stories? Answers to all these questions on this episode of Always Foolish.

  • The Rings of Akhaten
    Apr 13 2025

    On this episode we're offering up our opinions on series 7's song-filled story, The Rings of Akhaten.

    What does the ending say about potential? Will the cashless economy defeat Akhaten? What should Doctor Who mean to kids? How much is it to rent a moped? Is the Doctor kind of the villain of series 7? Where did Clara's dad buy that leaf? Also the Doctor and Clara definitely killed all those people. Answers to all these questions on this episode of Always Foolish.
