Ben talks about the Kaffeeklatsch with Matthew Sweet, the British broadcaster and journalist, Big Finish news, what and when to expect with The Abominable Snowmen animation, seeing Jo Martin, Mandeep Gill, and Sacha Dhawan in a crowded Hall A, and how "fried" is the flavour of the food trunks this year at the convention. Opening music is from The Claws of Axos and closing music is from The Two Doctors incidental music composed by Peter Howell. We recorded this episode on 19 February 2022.

We are joined this podcast by Lena Barkin and Jess Jurkovic for our Gallifrey One pre-panel!

We turn our focus to The Power of the Daleks - special edition and marvel upon its many improvements, some obvious and others more subtle. Then we discuss the news that BBC America is ending funding for future animations and the Conservative government under Boris Johnson is freezing, and then ending funding for the BBC. The podcast's music was composed by Tristram Cary for The Daleks, and used also for Power's soundtrack. We recorded this episode on 16 January 2022.

The recent animation watch continues with a discussion of Galaxy 4, the first Hartnell story animated since the end of the DVD range. David is impressed by the planet set design and the near-perfect likeness of Vicki in her animated form, and enjoys the Hartnell line mishaps with the script. Ben questions the switch from lace-up boots to go-go boots, which opens the door to other interesting decisions made producing this animation. This episode's music is "Marche" from Les Structures Sonorés used as incidental music in Galaxy 4. We recorded this episode on 9 January 2022.

We discuss The Evil of the Daleks recently released as an animated recreation or reinterpretation of the 1967 story starring Patrick Troughton. Ben is intrigued by the decisions the production team made that diverge from the original presentation and likens the animation project to the restoration of damaged art. David wonders if Whitaker's script could be tighter with fewer characters. Along the way we, discover Rutans disguised as Christmas puddings, ponder why Maxtible has a dungeon and traps and a Turkish wrestler on staff, and the lost story of the great Dalek-Chumbley war. Opening music is Jack Trombley's "Mexican Beat" and closing music is the Dalek's entrance music composed by Dudley Simpson, both pieces are from The Evil of the Daleks soundtrack. We recorded this episode on 30 December 2021.

For a brief five or so years, the BBC broadcast an omnibus version of Doctor Who in the middle of the Christmas week holiday, usually on 27 December. We talk about how Barry Letts got this viewing tradition underway and ruminate on why by the time Graham Williams became producer that the omnibus specials had ceased to be. We then discuss the relevance of omnibus repeats for audiences in the 21st century in a television landscape dominated by streaming and in-home video. Opening music is from The Sea Devils, composed by Malcolm Clarke. Closing music is from Genesis of the Daleks, composed by Dudley Simpson and recreated by Benji Clifford. We recorded this episode on 23 December 2021.

We talk about the use of big monsters across the history of Doctor Who. Does enlarging the monster up its threat level, make it more scary, or just make it seem ridiculous? Does one size of monster work better than others? Does one size fit all? Opening music is Dudley Simpson's (Giant) Robot theme. Closing music is Murray Gold's "Monster Bossa". We recorded this episode on 20 June 2021.

We hold an informal meeting of the Doctor Who's writer room to pitch new story ideas with underrated monsters for the Whittaker Doctor to face in series 13. Which monsters get green lit and which ones are put back on the shelf? Opening music is "The Bell Plants" composed by Peter Howell from Meglos. Closing music begins with "The Axons Approach" composed by Dudley Simpson with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and ends with Jodie Whittaker singing Coldplay's "Yellow" from the BBC Children in Need album, Got It Covered. We recorded this episode on 13 June 2021.
