Episode 542 – You’re Making Me Giddy!

This week we begin our exploration of the so-called Season 6B. That’s the fan-derived “missing season” of adventures the Second Doctor embarks on BEFORE he regenerates and is stranded on Earth. We start this series with a setup of the events that lead to Season 6B. We review the novelization of The War Games written by Malcolm Hulke and the short story, War Crimes, from the short story collection, Short Trips.
