"Firing a Doctor Who cake up your arse"

In their final look at the 60th anniversary specials, Ben and Mark welcome back the Toymaker by pairing up The Giggle with the unmade 1980s serial The Nightmare Fair. While the sense of an ending marks the 60th miniseries out as something special, have subsequent episodes of Doctor Who ruined the party? And after almost 60 years, has anyone got a handle on how to write for the Toymaker?

Also: Mark explains why Alex Horne is the true Toymaker, Ben recounts a Rab C Nesbitt locations tour, and we ponder what the Doctor Who equivalent of Spock's helmet might be. 

James Cooray-Smith's excellent article on The Celestial Toymaker can be read here.
