[QUOTE="James from London, post: 439881, member: 22"] The title is actually a play on the British slang phrase "on the lash" which means "drinking a lot of alcoholic drinks, especially socially with friends: He was out on the lash with his mates." The concept of their podcast, which I really love, is that they have a few drinks while discussing a story from New Who and a correspondingly themed one from Old Who. (Apropos of nothing, I found 'Timelash' surprisingly enjoyable given that I don't really like Colin Baker's Who much. ) Humble apologies. I'm just trying to get to grips with the specific qualifications of "real fandom". I've not seen them written down anywhere before. If there is a "Qualifications for Real Doctor Who Fandom" document anywhere online, some sort of consensus that all you "real fans" have arrived at, I'd be fascinated to see it. I guess you'd have to listen to the podcast and decide for yourself. Not that I'm expecting you to do so. Yet they would consider themselves [I]to be[/I] members of that fan base. But I guess it's for "a real fan" such as yourself to decide whether or not they're correct. They've only just started reviewing that era. Some parts they really like, other aspects not so much. And of course, they're individuals so they don't necessarily agree on the bits they do and don't like. But perhaps that's a more nuanced approach than the parameters of "real fandom" would allow for.
