Episode 69: Cyberbrainstorming

The Cybermen are coming!  The Cybermen are coming!  Come my children, and you shall hear of the two part story of...no, not Paul Revere.  Pete's world Cybermen.  This week we have a double review for you. "Rise of the Cybermen" and "Age of Steel" from good ole' DT's first year as the Doctor.

We've also got both regular news and Gally news.  Plus, an impromptu visit from a real, working, electronic tech.

Episode 68: Cybermen 101

Ok, class, today we are learning about the history and workings of the Cybermen.  I'd like you all to take out your Deadly Enemies textbooks and open to page 42.

Yep, that's right.  This week we talk Cybermen.  Everything from what stories to find them in to the difference between Pete's world and Mondasian Cybermen.

We've also got a bunch of Gallifrey One news as we get ready for that great gathering.  And feedback!

Episode 67: A Pleasure to Meet You, Mr. Werp.

Mmm...the Doctor in a Stetson.  Just as good in 1966 as in 2012.  We review The Gunfighters this week.  And sprinkle in a bit of the real history of the American West.  Come along with us as we travel to Tombstone, Arizona in 1881 and watch the Doctor Who crew screw around with the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.

Episode 66: How the TARDIS Changes Her Spots

It's a new year and we have a new TARDIS interior.  It looks great, but not counting set builders, how did the Doctor do it?  This week we look into the technical aspects of how the TARDIS redecorates and reconfigures herself.


That, some feedback and Daisy's winter cold are all here for you to enjoy!


WARNING: Contains rabbit chasing
