Second Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe This week we find another excuse to talk about the Daleks,where the Gav's would like their breath to spend time. Barb Wire, and really anything we can think of that's not talking about Space Pirates. But whatever you do [SPOILERS], don't watch The Space Pirates. "The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe become victims of piracy when they materialise on a space beacon, minutes before it is literally blown to pieces. So begins their quest to be reunited with the TARDIS, whilst treading perilously across the paths of the interstellar space corps and a gang of murderous bandits. The eccentric prospector Milo Clancey gives the travellers passage in his ageing spaceship, but the old man is himself the focus of space corps investigations. Could he possibly be behind the destruction and salvage of so many beacons in the sector? What is the position of Madeleine Issigri, who runs her father's mining corporation on the planet Ta  - and how might a locked room provide the answer to this mystery?"

"Professor... what's going on?!"

Good question, Ace.

The last ever classic Who story to be recorded, Ghost Light, is something of a period-piece puzzle - with a few pieces missing.

But it does include dinner-suited monsters, gun-toting maids, an insane explorer, a simian sermoniser and a Neanderthal butler (doesn't every home have one?). This madhouse is presided over by a dusty but upwardly mobile photophobe, with high treason on his ever-evolving mind.

But he doesn't bargain on the devious Doctor and the arsonous Ace, ably abetted by a racist rozzer and an uncontrolled control experiment.

Enter the angelic, anally retentive Light and the Earth is in imminent danger of being purged in a fit of OCD pique.

But can Jim and Martin shed any light on proceedings? Listen in and decide for yourself.

When you think teams that have been developed for the sole purpose of protecting humanity from the countless dangers and unfathomable powers of the collective cosmos, you may think of some spandex-clad superheroes zipping about in all their box office-smashing glory. (Excelsior!) But if you're a Whovian, that leaves you debating between two well-established, well-respected entities: Torchwood; and U.N.I.T. But why do we have two of these organizations? In this week's nearly academic discussion, we look at what we know of Torchwood and U.N.I.T., how they compare and contrast, and hypothesize why they haven't crossed paths more often in Doctor Who canon. (Hint: it probably has something to do with Jack Harkness' libido.)
