Episode 257 – Seconds in Eternity
In this week’s podcast we look at Series 9’s penultimate episode as we near the end of the season, with Heaven Sent. Sit back and hear us gush over what is arguably the best story of the season and perhaps of all time. We discuss what we enjoyed about the episode as well as some presumptions about the season finale.
Plus, no news this week, but we do spend a little bit of time talking about Doctor Who: Legacy.
And, of course, your feedback.
Enjoy!

Episode 256 – Nevermore
I
n this episode we review the swan song for a particular character of the show. We say goodbye, but question whether this is truly the end for a certain character. We give our impressions on the exit and look at Face the Raven on the whole and discuss the the story and its implications for the future of the series.
But first, we review the fourth novel in the on-going Lethbridge-Stewart series published by Candy Jar Books. This time it’s the Nick Walters penned Mutually Assured Domination. We give our impressions on the book which features a return of the Quarks and their ever menacing masters, the Dominators.
Also, a bit of convention new this week.
And, of course, your feedback.
Enjoy!
