So once again please join Josh, Peter, Rob and Toby on their quest to watch Tom Baker's final Doctor Who. In this episode, we wax lyrical about Anthony Ainley's Master and how he is portrayed - but beyond this, why does Nyssa just gratefully accept him as her father and let him give her that huge bracelet built to choke other companions? We see the Fourth Doctor accept his fate by collaborating with the Master. But beyond this, will Peter ever come back? You'll have to listen to see. Beyond that, there is another BTE feature at the end of the podcast. Listen to the commentary - AND the wonderful VAM at the end!

Andy, Derek and Martin try to decide just what happened in ‘Listen’. And what is it about the episode that has divided fandom?

For their double review of “Robot of Sherwood” and “Listen”, the Diddly Dumbers travel to Sherwood Forest itself to record the podcast.

Along the way, the Three Who Drool discuss the best incarnations of Robin Hood down the years on the big and small screen, a new form of chocolate scampi with mysterious centres and hanky panky with Arthur Lowe. They analyse the evidence linking Terrance Dicks to Star Wars’ Admiral Ackbar and debate the sexual propriety of the TARDIS console now incorporating moist, squelchy slits.

Just below the embedded media player, you’ll find that we’ve finally included the facility to download the MP3 directly from the blog. This has been added to all previous podcasts too.

We discovered Missy’s secret identity by a rather circuitous route. There are vague similarities in Series 8’s portrayal of Coal Hill School to current BBC school-based series “Waterloo Road” and that staple of British childhood TV for 30 years “Grange Hill”. Mrs McClusky was the headmistress of Grange Hill for years. The show’s opening credits inspired some of the artwork accompanying this podcast. Super-scary Grange Hill teacher, Mr Bronson, played by Michael Sheard (Doctor Who passim). First Mclusky, Then Came Bronson (if only in Al’s fevered mind).

This is Bags of Action. The podcast devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them are awesome! In this episode Steve and Pete wrap up their Cusack-attack, their trilogy dedicated to John Cusack. You, faithful listeners, voted for this choice on the Facebook group, so we picked Dragon Blade. This is a martial arts, action film, starring Jackie Chan, John Cusack and Adrian Brody. It's a story set in 50Bc featuring a missing Roman Legion and many tribes from the East. Next month we start a whole new trilogy, but you'll have to listen to the end to find out who is the star.

In which we're moving to the country.

Series 8 continues with "Listen", and we watched and drank and had the opinions. Lots of people are calling this one of the best episodes of Who in quite some time, and... well, they're not wrong, but HEY! We're drunk and we have some bones to pick with Moffet and his consistant body shaming of Clara, amoung other things. Also, we get off topic a lot, because we've been drinking. Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone!

Outro music is "Peaches" by The Presidents of the United States

After shitting all over Steven Moffat, we're back! And we want to cleanse our palette with a classic Who story from the Davison era, "Mawdryn Undead". There's exposed brains, time travel, disgusting bodies, Tegan, Nyssa, a guy with a crow on his head, and a traitorous redhead who talks to his hand. Joining us is Phil from the Braving Babylon 5 podcast, who graciously stayed up into the wee hours in England to put up with our drunk asses.

In the name of all that is evil, give it a listen and find out if it goes down as smoothly as an undead alien gliding through a recreational spaceship, or if it's as ridiculous as mistaking any old charred corpse for Peter Davison. Spoiler: opinions differ! Tempers flare! Garbo laughs!

This week we cover Doctor Who story #245, 2014's "Listen", in which the Doctor and Clara seek a creature capable of perfect hiding -- only to come face to face with their own emotions!
