In a madly rare illusion of prolificacy, welcome to the third episode of Pex Lives for the month of December. Earthshock. We also talk about the torture report, the state, Ferguson and more.

Don't say we didn't get you anything. Here is a very special Christmas gift for you. An undead gift. The best kind. This is one of the most fun chats we've ever had, all about the Frankenstein series that would prove such a huge influence on one of the best eras of Doctor Who. We talk about all the entries in the Hammer Frankenstein series, the Shelley novel, briefly go over the Universal monsters, and take in the kind of fascinating tangents that make talking to clever, witty people so fun.

Gene would rather people just leave him alone.

With extra thanks to @Hammerhorrorfan on twitter for this bonus episode's excellent artwork.

Finally, the long delayed episode 12, which was our one year anniversary with our first ever guests, has time travelled from July. It's so exciting to have people hear what turned out to be a fantastic conversation that's so much better than the subject at hand; the TV Movie.

The latest episode of the world beating Pex Lives podcast is here. We talk about the latest batch of episodes from the new Peter Capaldi series as well as one of the best serials ever... The Curse of Fenric. Starring Sylvester McCoy & Sophie Aldred. Download now to join the conversation.

The Pex Lives team are here to help you through the end of summer with an appropriately chilly episode. Patrick Troughton's Second Doctor's first meeting with.... the Ice Warriors! As well as more thoughts on the new episodes up to the end of last month. Will it melt their hearts or will the Pex Lives boys be cool on it?

Sorry. Enjoy!

Pex Lives returns with its first ever on-air guest! @HitlerPuncher joined us to talk about the Web Planet and much more. This is our first episode on since the new season of Doctor Who has started airing and we share our thoughts on Peter Capaldi's episodes. Get stuck into... the Web Planet!

James and Kevin are back from an unexpected break as we crossed over our one year anniversary and have gone back to basics with the classic First Doctor serial, The Sensorites. Did they love it, hate it or find it totally unnecessary? Listen and find out!

The Green Death is a great jumping off point for Kevin and James, your intrepid hosts, to get into a chat about some of the undercurrents of this society of ours, including some time spent on the recent misogynist shootings

A kaleidoscopic, twisting vortex of a conversation for the sleep deprived, punchy hosts of the world beating Pex Lives! Podcast. Kevin & James take a pop-protest infused look at the serial in a brave experimental pushing of the borders of the form. Next month: something less daring in concept.

James and Kevin take a conversational journey through the 1984 serial once voted the best Doctor Who of all time which doubled as Peter Davison’s swansong. How will they rate it? Listen & find out!

Pex Lives Supplemental is an occasional, informal bonus episode of your favourite Doctor Who podcast, that might have some light to shine on the Timelord’s adventures, or might not. This time Kevin and James have a great time tackling the original Star Trek crew’s films, from 1979-1991. Enjoy!

In one of the more concise episodes of the fantastic Pex Lives podcast, the lovely and patient Kevin and a progressively more intoxicated James have a great chat that takes in the role of propaganda, Terry Pratchett, anarchist thinkers, 1984 and a whole host of other good stuff.

Kevin and James in 2014 with the best and longest episode yet!
