Cupboard, and peg dolls, and George...Oh, my! It's not deja vu, we are revisiting "Night Terors". We thought it would be a good idea to take a fresh look at this Series 6 story and see what we thought of it out of story arc contex (and without the starry eyes we always have with shiny new episodes).

WARNING: Contains rabbit chasing.

Hey! Guess what?  Doctor Who is actually TV show.  Did you know that?  Yup, and for the past 51 (and a bit) years the production team has been attempting special effects with varying degrees of success.  This show, we're hitting the highlights, and lowlights, from all seven Doctors.

Smack us in the forehead, we recently realized we'd never reviewed Pyramids of Mars.  This week we remedy that.  It doesn't keep us from rabbit chasing, but there you go.  We've also got actual news!  More than one item!  Oh, boy!

So, the first half of the show got taken over by rabbits.  We're not sure how it happened, maybe somebody left the door to the hutch unlocked, but we had to do an awful lot of chasing them down.  The second half of the show is all about time travel by means other than the TARDIS.  We really get in depth into how things work and the difference between time travel in the TARDIS and time travel via Vortex Manipulator.

Out with the old, in with the new!  New format for us, new Doctor for the show.  As you could tell, we've gone to a bi-weekly format.  Life has gotten busy and we don't want to give this up, so this is the compromise.  We're reviewing the two parter here, Bad Wolf/A Parting of the Way.  This is the Series One finale and the first regeneration for those who just discovered Doctor Who in 2005.

So this is it.  The actual post-Gally wrap up.  We finally talk about this year's Gally in more than just generalities.  Daisy's voice is mostly back and can hold out for more (a lot more) than just 20 minutes.  Hence the rabbit chasing off to all sorts of other, geeky, topics.  Wheeeeeeee!!!

Consider this a preview of our post-Gally wrap up episode.  Daisy is quite sick with a bad cold (possibly con crud) and is loosing her voice.  Hence the shortness of this show.  Please bear with us as real life intrudes on our Doctor Who fantasy life.  We'll be back with the full Gally story next week (and a full voiced Daisy).

This is it! The show where we tel you all about what's happening at Gallifrey One this year (next weekend).  The biggest, best fan run Doctor Who convention/family reunion ever! We tell you everything we're looking forward to doing, seeing and experiencing.  And, because we are who we are, we also talk about random other stuff, like Benedict Cumberbatch and Lego.  But, mostly, it's Gally!!

To loom or not to loom, that is the question. Whether tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of Rasalon or the piques of Pythia. We are pondering the method by which Time Lords procreate.  Not exactly a topic of canon, but one of interest none the less. 

There's also a great deal of rabbit chasing, so get out your carrots and come with us.  Not to worry, we keep it clean.

We're correcting what we see as an oversight this week by reviewing the Forth Doctor story "City of Death".  This was also an opportunity for Daisy to show this story to a New Who friend interested in going back and watching Classic Who. 

We've also got lots of Gally news.
