Classic Rewatch: The Hand of Fear
With a wistful goodbye to a beloved companion, but a resounding approval for the story itself, we bask in the radiation to reconstitute a crystalline gem of a Fourth Doctor story.
Classic Rewatch: Masque of Mandragora
Gazing into Season 14 like so many 15th century telescopes, we step back to a Baker and Sladen historical piece with a talented, if singularly gendered, supporting cast.
Classic Rewatch: The Seeds of Doom
Strapping on our weed-killer backpacks, and exercising absolutely ZERO patience for thug henchmen, we plunge into the undergrowth of “The Seeds of Doom”, the closing story of Season 13.
Classic Rewatch: The Brain of Morbius
This week, Jeremy Radick calls in once again to join us for a lovely stroll through a dark and sinister laboratory, as “The Brain of Morbius” taunts us into action.
Classic Rewatch: The Android Invasion
This week, Jay is out of the studio (or IS he?) as the rest of us learn to trust no one. We’re 90% certain we’re watching Doctor Who and not Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but who can be certain?
Classic Rewatch: Pyramids of Mars
We dive wholeheartedly into this classic among classics, from the 13th season with Sarah Jane and the Fourth Doctor. We are the Sycophants of Sladen. SHE NEEDS NO OTHER.

We’re positive people, and try to find some quality and enjoyment in most of what we consume, so we […]
Classic Rewatch: Genesis of the Daleks
Typically, we’d use this moment to compose a little anecdote about the world around us, a little commentary on social behavior and interaction, and then tie it in somehow to a recurring theme or plot line from the classic Doctor Who story we’re currently revisiting. Doing so, in this case, would rob us of the time we’d rather be enjoying one of Tom Baker’s most iconic performances, and a remarkably solid script from Terry Nation. (We know you had it […]
Classic Rewatch: The Sontaran Experiment
This week, Taylor from The PODcastica joins us for a surprisingly brief rewatch of Season 12’s two-part story, ‘The Sontaran Experiment’.
