#163 - Ginger Beer Is Delicious
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 51 minutes and 17 secondsContinuing on with our look at Tom Baker's Season 13 with a discussion of Pyramids of Mars and The Android Invasion. Ben dismisses fan-suggested back story that Sarah learned to fire a rifle on her aunt's farm and rather champions Sarah as just being a totally competent and kick ass woman who rises to the occasion. David gushes over Dudley's Simpson's score for Pyramids and praises Paddy Russell's direction and ability to bring out great performances from her leading man. Ben defends ginger beer (pop) and thinks Sarah's one weakness, aside from her ankles, is her dislike of stuff and David finds hollyhocks Devesham, a.k.a, East Hagbourne as a lovely Oxforshire village with beautiful hollyhock flowers. Opening music is from "Clement and the Mummies" composed by Dudley Simpson and arranged and performed by Heathcliff Blair. Closing music is also composed by Simpson and taken from the score to The Android Invasion. This episode was recorded 28 June 2020

#162 - The Mystic Doctor
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 26 secondsWe begin a look at season 13 with a discussion about Terror of the Zygons and Planet of Evil. Ben loves the Zygon's spaceship and fondly remembers building his own model as a kid from Lego bricks. David explains why he thinks the Zygons in their original soft and blobby form is creepier than their later toothy and muscular design. Ben touches upon the shift of received mysticism of Pertwee's Doctor to where Tom Baker's Doctor is mysticism itself. David appreciates Prentis Hancock's portrayal as Salamar and Ben remembers how he also built an oculoid tracker from his Lego bricks. We bemoan what we see as the only flaw in this season; the poor exit for Harry, the Brigadier, and UNIT. Opening music is "The Destruction of Charlie Rig" composed by Geoffery Burgon and closing music is "Nightfall on Zeta Minor" composed by Dudley Simpson and arranged and performed by Heathcliff Blair. This episode was recorded 20 June 2020.

#161 - Vagabond Tom
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 52 minutes and 31 secondsThis episode was recorded 14 June 2020 and the actual Doctor Who discussion begins 11:54 into the podcast where we talk about Tom Baker the Doctor who caught alight in the United States and opening up to his tenure in the programme. But first, leading off the podcast, Ben celebrates his team's, the Four-to-Zoomsday's, triumph in the Quiz of Rassilon. David then asks a simple question about a sporting metaphor and the two get mired the two get mired in cricket talk for a good five minutes. After that, the two discuss Churchill in light of statues coming down across the UK and the US; this part of the podcast was shunted off to the end of the podcast and begins after a musical interlude from Heathcliff Blair and begins at 34:34. (Think of it as studio floor Blu-ray extra footage.) Once that discussion runs it course, we talk about Tom Baker's tenure as the Doctor beginning 11:54 running through to the aforementioned musical interlude. All rather confusing isn't it. Oh, and we briefly mention the December 1981 interview of Tom with Mavis Nicholson which is definitely worth a watch. Anywho... we're back to season 13 next episode. Opening "Davros' Megalomania" and closing "The Doctor's Theme" music was composed by Dudley Simpson for season 12 stories and arranged and performed by Heathcliff Blair on the "Pyramids of Mars" disc.

#158 - Divergent Timelines
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 55 minutes and 32 secondsWe further our discussion of sideways stories and posit that all of Who, or at the very least, all of Who set on Earth are sideways stories that diverge from our earth's timeline.

#157 - Sideways Into the Zsogsphere
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 50 secondsIn this episode, we discuss sideways Who and how this story type was not too common in the classic Who era, but has come into its own with the show's revival and is, perhaps, in its golden age under Chibnall's tenure as showrunner. Opening music is "Univers Sideral" composed by Paul Bonneau and closing music is the main title theme for the "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman" composed by Ronald Stein.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 47 minutes and 20 secondsWe land on the Galápagos Islands with the Doctor and Evelyn to review Bloodtide from Big Finish.

A story overflowing with historical characters and ideas, we wonder if Silurian Tulok's real crime was genetically engineering lady bumps on Silurian women. Opening music is "Tried" and closing music "The Cave"; both pieces composed by Alistair Lock for Bloodtide.

#155 - The TARDIS Destroys Space Opera
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 45 minutes and 7 secondsAfter a quick recap of our afternoon playing the Quiz of Rassilon with fellow teammates Greg and Jess, we discuss space opera. We explore which stories fit the genre and what does it take to make a space opera story in Doctor Who? The conventional wisdom is Doctor Who is a genre machine, so how frequently does it dip into space opera like other popular sci-fi franchises like Star Trek and Star Wars? Opening and closing music is from "The Frontier in Space," composed by the incomprable Dudley Simpson.
