Joe & Mark; and the epic fail face palm of gunge. Colonel Faraday? Evil Doctor? Plot inconsistencies. Mark gives impressive reasons why he loves this, and Joe explains why it is so special to him.
Joe & Mark; and the curse of Kerry Nation! We’re still impressed at this point, despite a crushing cliffhanger and too much studio work. Mark reveals the ultimate Terry Nation ‘get out of a cell’ trick.
Joe & Mark; and the tragic tale of what went wrong with the Kraals. We still love this; action, suspense, location work, memorable cliffhangers. And an appearance by the entire cast of rainbow!
Joe & Mark; regaling with delightful tales of Didcot! Mark LOVES this story, and Joe has been seduced by his enthusiasm for it. Is this one of the best ever episode ones?
Joe & Dave; breaking the show as they clash over the idea of the Doctor murdering. Amy tortured and tricked? Rory duped? Is the Doctor pro-Ganger or not? Has the show lost its mind in this ambitious arc?
Joe & Dave; and buckets full of, um, flesh. Is this a vastly underrated horror story with atmosphere and chills? Or is it a ghastly, ugly, hollow bore-fest that does perverse things with the regulars? Only one way to find out…FIGHT!
Joe & Peter; needing more than Perrrier. We address the complaints; the gratuitous violence, acid bath humour, a murderous climax and lots of corridor wandering…and we revel and laugh our way through the lot!
Joe & Peter; we’ll hear you scream until we’re deaf with pleasure. A popular season, a well directed story, featuring a strong cast, a biting commentary on Doctor Who, atmosphere and a commanding Doctor? Can we be talking about the Colin Baker era?
Joe & Si; Ra! Ra! Ra! Discussion about piecing together Doctor Who like a puzzle. How gay and cheerful is Jamie? And how do you bring down giant gas guzzling crabs?
Joe & Si; happy to work, happy to play! Is this the point where the story becomes a little more conventional? What the hell is the Danger Gang? And what is the backstory of the Macra infiltrating the colony?
