We welcome the fantastic Ellie (a.k.a. TARDIS Monkey) to this episode to join most of the usual crew - Gav, Giles and Richard.

After Ellie has given us a motivational slideshow in the Something Who Bunker, it's time to look at a couple of stories featuring villages that are really cut off from civilisation: Season 8's The Daemon, with the 3rd Doctor and 13th Doctor story Village of the Angels from the most recent Flux series.

This episode features the first half of our discussion and so is only about The Daemons. Look out for the second half, coming soon.

Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it, so we can build our listener base high for happiness. You can rate us directly on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser.com

Richard's other podcast is called "If It's Hurting, It's not Working" and it's a fun and informative look at work - why we work, how we work, and what makes a great job. And also what makes a great workplace, how to turn things round when we're not enjoying our work and, in the end, how we can all make our work better. Go to https://ifhurtnotwork.podbean.com/ and https://ifhurtnot.work for more. Episode 7 is a look at how we can improve our mental health at work and you can hear a trailer at the end of this episode.

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.
