In this episode Paul & Geoff journey back through the mists of time to a freezer centre in space!

There they join the hunt for a mythical dragon in the lively company of the Seventh Doctor, Mel and rogue trader Sabalom Glitz. Along the way they meet someone new, a girl from Perivale called Ace...

Yes indeed! This week we are re-watching the first appearance of Ace in Doctor Who with the serial Dragonfire which was first broadcast on the BBC in 1987.

On our hunt through this classic story's many treasures we look at how method acting works when navigating fake ice, we consider the conotations of calamitous cliffhangers, discuss Clara's involvement in the story (Geoff), compare the similarities in this episode to Mission: Impossible 3 (also Geoff), liken it to Almost Famous (Geoff again!) and as always, read out a few listeners' tweets for their take on the episode (Paul, this time!).

Dragonfire is the final (televised) adventure of Melanie Bush and the first to feature Ace, and we look at the differences between each of these beloved companions. We also ponder how, maybe, modern day Doctor Who began right here...
