It's another old-school first! This time, it's the first episode directed by Fiona Cumming (though not her first association with Doctor Who), as well as the first Fifth Doctor episode. There's A Lot of fun to be had. And yes, sometimes there's a quote so good you just have to give up on shoehorning the DW ep title into the podcast ep title.

What do you think about "Castrovalva"? Do you love the script and direction and acting and everything else all the time? Or did you get bored with the tromping through the forest? Let us know in the comments!
