Episode 60: The Runaway Rabbits

As the time gets closer to Christmas we get a visit from rabbits...no no no.  Wait.  Donna. We get a visit from Donna.  Yep, it's the second Christmas special for Doctor Who and our first glimpse of Donna Noble.  Little did we know at the time that we would be seeing more of her in a year.  So join us in her madcap romp in a wedding dress as we review "The Runaway Bride"!

Episode 59: Invasion of the Christmas Rabbits

All I want for Christmas is a new Doctor
A new Doctor
A new Doctor...

So it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but we've got "The Christmas Invasion" on the table for you.  David Tennant's first full episode as the Doctor.  And in between all the rabbit chasing (or would that be turkey chasing this week?) we give you a great, whopping review.

Episode 58: Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny

The Doctor calls them "nanogenes". The Daleks make them live in a "nanocloud". But in reality they are nanobots, just one facet in the field of nanotechnology. This week we explore that facet - what nanobots are, what researchers are looking for them to do and how that may affect our lives...possibly within our own lifetimes.

Oh, yeah. And a whole lot of rabbit chasing.
