Don your mittens and light the sparklers as we run the Gallifreyan gamut from toxic to saccharine in I'll Explain Later's November display. The Ninth Doctor and Rose risk sunburn on a weekend break to The End of the World; The Master sucks on a stogie while Team Third Doctor tackle the origami ogre that is The Time Monster; finally, The Seventh Doctor and Ace are in three episodes of The Happiness Patrol. Along the way, we mull trees' animal magnetism, ponder the 70s salary high-point for actors portraying randy or rattled window cleaners and welcome John's calm, cool take on a universally adored McCoy classic.

As always, you can find us on Twitter and Facebook, and you can email us too. And please, do leave us a nice review on iTunes if you like the show.
