For our First Doctor story selection, we present "The Romans".  The Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Vicki are taking some time off just outside Nero's Rome when adventure, danger and hilarity ensue.  Also, some news and feedback...and rabbits.

 

Episode 93: A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The TARDIS

He was the first.  At the time, he was the only.  He's different from all the regens to follow, yet we can see the first inklings of the Doctor we know and love.  This week our subject is the First Doctor and we're finally on the 50th Anniversary Celebration Road to the Big Party in November!

Episode 92: The Origin of the Species

...there was Verity Lambert and Sidney Newman, and the word was "science fiction".  And the word was good.  It's 1963 and the BBC have decided that they want a science fiction program.  A program we still watch (and they still produce) today.  This week we begin our 50th Anniversary celebration with a look at how Doctor Who began.

Episode 91: In The Beginning

Some of the best shows on television have spin-offs and Doctor Who is no different.  This week, we discus Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.  And a bunch of other spin-offs of other shows.  And some other things.

Episode 90: Spin Doctor

Oh...here we are again.  Torchwood.  Miracle Day.  It's been two years, but Cheryl never saw it...till now.  And since we've been talking about Jack being immortal it's only fitting that we torture - erm, make - uh, let Cheryl watch it now so she can give her review with Daisy, who is actually re-reviewing this for you.

Episode 89: Jack in the USA

He's a fixed point in time.  He's immortal.  He's an omni-sexual, time-traveling smart-ass.  He's Captain Jack Harkness and this week we talk about how and why he's immortal.

Episode 88: Jack the Fact

Daisy and Cheryl are joined by guest host, John Calderon, to review the second J.J. Abrams Star Trek film, Star Trek Into Darkness.  We've given you enough time to see it so the spoilers we give shouldn't be spoilers by now.  Did we love it...did we hate it?  Tune in to find out!

 

WARNING: The rabbits followed us here.

 

TST Supplemental Log 001: Cold Fusion Star Trek

Nine goes.  Jack goes.  Ooh, look, there all the rabbits go.  Here we are, trying to review The Parting of the Ways, and all these rabbits keep running all over us.  Well, it is Spring and they do deserve some exercise.  Considering the nature of rabbits it's only right that they should show up at the beginning of our mini-series on the Imortal Jack Harkness.

Don't forget to send us your answer to our question: Do you think Jack is the Face of Boe?

Episode 87: The Parting of the Rabbits

How do you solve a problem like The Grand Moff?  How do you catch a T.A.R.D.I.S. and pin it down?  We just don't know, but we're gonna talk about it anyway.  This week we discuss where we feel Steven Moffat has gone wrong and why and what might fix it.  A good ole' rant to close out Series 7.

We're leaving our caption contest open for a few more weeks.  Head over to our Facebook page and caption that angry leprechaun!
