Human Self-Destruction - “Aliens of London/World War III” & “Warriors of the Deep”

00:00 / 1:32:56

The Slitheen first um… blast onto our screens with their, shall we say, effervescent personalities in the first two-parter of the New Series, Aliens of London and World War III. Will Porter’s penchant for fart jokes leave him helpless in the face of an onslaught of gastro-intestinal humor? Will John’s fixation on flatulence sour his take on the intrigue and excitement of an alien invasion?

We then turn to the taut, John Le Carre-esque, futuristic post-Cold War thrllier… oops, sorry, typo there, just let me go back and fix- FACE IT JOHN, IT’S MISSPELLED! THERE’S NOTHING WE CAN DO BUT GET ON WITH WATCHING WARRIORS OF THE DEEP!

Generating Again - “Bad Wolf/Parting of the Ways” & “Caves of Androzani”

00:00 / 1:05:41

Confirming our belief that reality television will be the death of us all and/or lead to a mass invasion of Earth by the Daleks, we at last uncover the mystery of just who is the Bad Wolf before having to endure the emotion of The Parting of the Ways. Will Porter discover a new appreciation for the power of the Daleks or will he be too distracted by the horror of an android gameshow host?

We then take-in the creme de la creme (literally, “yoghurt“) of classic series regeneration stories with the 5th Doctor’s swan-song The Caves of Androzani. Does John have the mouth of a prattling jackanapes or do his eyes tell a different story? Could you even answer that given that Podcasting is an audio medium? What even is a jackanapes? None of these questions will be addressed in this Podcast.
