Flight Through Entirety: A Doctor Who Podcast

Why Can’t I Wear Trousers? (The Romans, The Web Planet, The Crusade)


Listen Later

This episode, Brendan, Richard and Nathan tackle the difficult subjects of ants and fraternity as they discuss three ant-astic stories from the middle of Doctor Who’s second season: The Romans, The Web Planet and The Crusade. So tune up your lyres, pull up a dormouse, and listen along. There’s a bit of that cold peacock left in the fridge, I think.
