Martyn will read out the review and give a few clues to help Chris and Abi narrow down their guesses. The clues could include things like the Doctor's companion, the villain of the story, or the setting of the episode.

Throughout the game, Martyn will also share some trivia and behind-the-scenes information about the episode in question, adding to the fun and excitement of the guessing game. Listeners can play along too, trying to guess which episode Martyn is talking about before Chris and Abi do. 

At the end of the game, Martyn will reveal the answer and discuss the episode in more detail, explaining why it received such a negative review and whether or not he agrees with the criticism. As always, the hosts will share their own opinions and insights on the episode, making for a lively and engaging discussion.
