In this week’s show we added a little something extra that wasn’t on the schedule. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you are aware that Steven Moffat and The BBC offered us a little surprise last week, with the release of The Night of the Doctor, featuring the long awaited return of Paul McGann on film as the Eighth Doctor. That could not go unaddressed, so finally our review of the minisode.

But, business as usual, we go back on schedule and take a look at The Doctor Revisited: The Tenth Doctor, and offer our impressions on the special.

Then, a look at Ten’s run with a retrospective on the era, revealing our, as well our listener’s picks for the most representative story.

Plus, a look a the other news of the week.

And, of course, your feedback.

Listener, Lisa, sent us a photo of where she typically listens to our podcast. It’s very tranquil. We thought we’d share.

From Lisa: Humboldt Bay (the south end) is on the right and the Pacific ocean is there on the left…
The road is several miles long and its absolute beautiful.
I usually save your podcast to enjoy out there.
