Review of S01 – The Sensorites E02-04

• Cross Dressing v. The Patriachy

Review of S01 — The Sensorites E01

• We play a small part in Who for Schools  & donated to The Malala Fund. Please support!
• This is our first First Doctor story
• The YW was reminded of Tom Baker & Matt Smith 
• And preferred him here to The Daleks & An Unearthly Child
• But she wasn't Actually Grooving to this theme
• Listen to Verity on Susan, including the Deb Stanish interview with Carole Ann Ford (not Caroline, OM)
• The YW was distracted by Barbara Wright’s hair
• And has thoughts about Victoria in The Krotons
• The OM thinks Delia Derbyshire’s arrangment of the theme is still best
