What if Doctor Who Season One had the luxury of a full 13 episodes? We roll up our sleeves and get to work reimagining how we’d produce an extended series. We also challenge ourselves to chop down the 2005 series to just eight stories. Do the Slitheen still make the cut? 👀

Remember: if it’s too good to be true, it’s probably a dream crab.

This week - Santa Claus, brain-eating crabs, and dreams within dreams! We break down Last Christmas, from Clara’s emotional farewell to an imagined Danny to the Doctor’s total aversion with hugs. Plus, Shona’s potential as a companion, Moffat’s love of psychological games, and whether Clara left at the right time.

The gang’s all here! Well, except Tom Baker, who’s otherwise engaged.

We unpack The Five Doctors, from the Third Doctor towing Sarah up a hill like she’s luggage, to the Master’s campiest scamper in a cape yet. We’ll discuss the Raston Warrior Robot as the ultimate lycra assassin, Susan’s return feeling a little... frosty, and our personal fashion highlights.
