This week, Paul and Phil take a look back at Cold Blood in the continuation of their retrospective of series 5. However, they are a little distracted this week as shortly before recording, official confirmation came through from the the BBC that two long lost episodes of Doctor Who had been rediscovered. And what with the announcement this week of a Doctor Who game for consoles and the PC, Phil was on cloud nine. Pity then that they had to talk about a bit of a damp squib of a Who story afterwards. It ruined the mood somewhat.

Here we are, fifty episodes in and still going strong. In this show a look back over the last 49.

Plus, our third Adversary Archive featuring the Daleks (second one to feature Davros). This week we review Resurrection of the Daleks with the Fifth Doctor, Tegan and Turlough, the Sixth Doctor and Peri in Revelation of the Daleks, and The Seventh Doctor and Ace story, Remembrance of the Daleks.

Also, our reaction to an incredible news week for Doctor Who fandom, topped off with the announcement of the recovery of two previously missing episodes.

And of course, your feedback.

Here’s to fifty more! Enjoy!

Frabjous day indeed, as two missing episodes from the '60s have been found! This calls for a celebration! And after you've listened to this episode, read the frankly brilliant Radio Times backgrounder on how these episodes were discovered.

Oh, and check out that TMDWP guy. He's pretty cool himself.

What started out as just another day with just another Radio Free Skaro episode rapidly ballooned into a furor of hype and rumour and finally confirmation as the BBC announced that two Classic Doctor Who episodes had been returned to their archives. There were other things happening in the world of Who, like some DVD news, a rather cool prequel to the upcoming Christmas Special, and even the Global iPlayer going beyond the confines of the iPad, but really, what could hold a candle to the news of New! Classic! Doctor! Who! 2 down, 106 to go…

And so we've come to this.  The bottom of the bucket.  The last frontier.  Number 200 in Doctor Who Magazine's poll: "The Twin Dilemma."  Is it as bad as they say?  Can we sit through an hour and half of this without wanting to strangle those twins and make a couple of bookends?  Frankly, we're a little relieved to get these five episodes behind us and start reviewing some good stuff.  Like maybe "Fear Her."  Or perhaps even some Pertwee, right Steve?  Join us and Lord Zimon as we imbibe and discuss.

Why doesn't anyone want to join us on Facebook anymore?  We don't suck that much!  Email us at tardistavern@gmail.com, follow Sean on Twitter via @tardistavern, Steve via @tardistaverntit, and Josh via @whomejz.
