Bigger on the Inside

First the guys spend a few minutes discussing "The Eleventh Hour" and "The Beast Below" (spoiler-free, of course), then they're visited by Adam and a special guest. Following that, they cover "The Daemons," the end of the eighth season, and "Day of the Daleks."

Seemingly peaceful aliens arrive on Earth with a gift that reveals their true nature ("The Claws of Axos"). Then The Doctor and Jo are sent to another planet by the Time Lords, where they find themselves mixed up with feuding colonists and miners ("Colony in Space").

In "Terror of the Autons," The War Chief returns! (Oh, what's this? A note from Tom Deja: "Mike, embrace the truth. The Master is not The War Chief. Your friend, Tom.") Sigh... okay. In "Terror of the Autons," The Master debuts, and he's brought some familiar foes with him! Then in "The Mind of Evil," The Master schemes to launch a missile at a world peace conference.

The seventh season of the classic era comes to a close with the reality-hopping "Inferno," as does Liz Shaw's tenure as The Doctor's companion. Also, Mike has a wacky theory about Time Lords.

Before struggling to recap "The Ambassadors of Death," Dan and Mike read through several e-mails, including one that leads to a conversation about a possible LEGO Doctor Who video game.

Is America getting its own Torchwood series? Dan and Mike address the rumor before covering the excellent seven-part "Doctor Who and the Silurians."

After a lengthy, spoiler-filled discussion about "The End of Time," Dan and Mike answer e-mails (plural) about the proposed connection between The War Chief and The Master, and then finally settle into the topic of the episode: "Spearhead from Space," Jon Pertwee's first outing as The Doctor. (If you'd like to skip past "The End of Time" conversation, it takes place between 1:36 and 36:17.)

In this jam-packed episode, Dan and Mike bid farewell to Patrick Troughton, Frazer Hines, and Wendy Padbury. They discuss the mixed bag that was the sixth season, and take one last look at the black and white era of Doctor Who. Some Doctor Who firsts are also covered, including a kiss, the appearance of the Time Lords, and the disputed debut of someone who might just become a recurring foe. And on top of that, the duo manages to squeeze in talk of "The War Games," which is easily the most epic serial thus far.

In "The Seeds of Death," the Ice Warriors attempt to use the transmat system to bring death and destruction to Earth. And nothing happens in "The Space Pirates." Nothing! Oh, you want a better synopsis than that? Okay, a group of space pirates steal a rare ore, while The Doctor and his friends are trapped in various rooms.

In an eight-part epic, The Doctor, his friends, and the recently formed UNIT must stop a mad businessman and the Cybermen from seizing the planet ("The Invasion"). And then The Doctor and Zoe accidentally resurrect a long-dormant robot species bent on destroying a subservient race ("The Krotons"). The guys also briefly discuss "The Waters of Mars" before answering a few e-mails.
