We have returned from our week off with the first episode we have from Season 4 of Doctor Who, and Owen thinks it's potentially the most important one yet! 

In this episode the First Doctor and companions Polly and Ben visit the North Poll and meet the crew of the Snowcap Space tracking station. However, they aren't the only visitors, with the introduction to the Cybermen! With the energy being drained from the earth, can the Doctor and crew beat the metal men or will the Doctor leave this episode as a changed man?

Alongside this, Owen and James debate who the real enemy is of this episode, rank the first outing of the famous Time Lord and think about the possibility of a regeneration without Hartnell.

So it's that time again when Owen and James sit down and try to give Doctor Who pointless awards and rank the episodes! This time with the disappointedly short Season Three! 

Can the Ark sail away in the top spot? Will the Gunfighters hit the target? Can the War Machines declare war on the table?!

 Join James and Owen as they take a deep dive into Doctor Who’s past, starting from the very beginning. Cheap sets, grumpy old men, unhealthily dedicated teachers, and so much more lie in wait. So, join us as we go deep Into The Black Archive every Monday at 8PM!

In this BONUS episode we take a look at the remake of Mission to the Unknown! 

When the crew of the UN Deep Space Force Group 1 crash land on Kembel they can tell something is not quite right. With secrets hidden between the crew and killer plants named Varga it doesn't end well. Can they get the information about the Dalek's master plan out before its too late? 

Meanwhile Owen and James spends the vast majority of this episode being jealous of the students who got to play a part in the re-making of this legendary story at the University of Central Lancaster. When they aren't doing that they discuss how protective the Terry Nation Estate is of Daleks and what went into making the episode. 

Oh and James starts breaking his new flat.

Watch the amazing remake HERE.

As the helicopters circle James, we get underway with the final episode of season 3 of Doctor Who. 

When the Doctor and Dodo land in 'modern day' London, they get drawn to the BT tower for... questionable reasons where they meet the biggest Alexa clone ever made... 'WOTAN'... only it has a slight glitch, the want to take over the world. Meanwhile Dodo gets hypnotized and disappears forever and we meet two new companions! 

Meanwhile Owen and James discuss how to introduce a character properly, try to decode plot points from mistakes and discuss the fears of new technology.

In this episode Owen and James talk first impressions on the new Who news from Yesterday’s panel. With thoughts on the one-episode story, the new trailer, that big ‘special guest’ and one big question… can Chibnall avoid cocking it up?

Alongside this we have the 8th episode of season three The Gunfighters. When the Doctor and crew land in Tombstone we have a case of mistaken identity with the Doctor being mistaken for a famous cowboy. With the Doctor in jail, Dodo kidnapped and Steven in a noose, how can they escape from this one?

In a story that is more painful than a tooth ache.

The third of the first Dalek stories... and there is something different this time around (its a bit 💩).

We join the Tardis team as they decide to have a nice relax on a desert planet... But something's amiss, with the Daleks not that far behind the Chase is ON. With the Daleks on their tail, they only have a short period before the Daleks will catch up, can they workout a way to get ahead and once again beat the pepper pots?

Meanwhile, Owen corrects the record on his favourite season one story and listens to Christopher Eccleston return to the Doctor Who role with his first Big Finish story.
