Oh no! What have we done! We promised Katie's parents a nice cuddly episode with Bernard Cribbins and all they get is a murderous robot with a stupid sense of humour and a God complex. That's the last time we get invited for Sunday Dinner.

In another "meet the parents" special, we visit Brian the Brain, a psychotic robot hell bent on living forever, or at least to the end of Act 2. There's a tender moment with John and Helena that Colin doesn't talk over, no home brew and Maya turning into zombie Bernard. What would the Doctor say?

What happens when someone who's never seen classic 70s sci-fi watches it with their other half who's a total geek for it? Will they love it, hate it, or ask for a divorce on the spot? The Mackem (Katie) and the Manc (Colin) from England are watching all 48 episodes and, for you the wonderful listener, we hope there's some humor and fun comments. You can also listen and watch at the same time, or just enjoy the banter. Warning - there's a few rude words!
