Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 20 minutes and 51 secondsV (1)
Erika and Steven had Quite A Day. And what better way to celebrate A Day than to watch some reconstructed classic Doctor Who from 1965? We certainly can’t think of one?
Why was it Such A Day, you ask? Well, Uncanny Magazine, for which Steven and Erika produce a monthly podcast (and Erika helps proof the magazine itself), won a Hugo Award for Best Semiprozine!
Erika is Rather Overwhelmed.

56: Mission to the Unknown
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 26 minutes and 15 secondsT/A
Ok, NOW our Canada Day mini-marathon concludes! Erika and Steven complete the last episode in the Verity Lambert era, the unique-in-many-ways “Mission to the Unknown”.
We watched an animated version of this “Dalek Cutaway” (no, it’s not really called that), which was really fab. Erika felt as much tension watching the animated characters as she has with many live actors. It cooked along and I could tell what was happening!
More observations and some serious reminiscences await in the podcast!
