062: Pyramids of Mars

"In my presence, you are an ant, a termite. Abase yourself, you grovelling insect!"

So once again Sutekh's arrogance management classes fail to deliver and he's left in his sub-Saqqaran tomb for a few more centuries, waiting for another gentleman caller.

And he had a lot going for him: a puppet archaeologist, a loyal (if irascible) Egyptian organist, a low-tech PIN-pincher and some busty yummy mummies.

Laurence is wide-eyed, the Doctor is boggle-eyed and Marcus has eyes like piddle-holes in the snow, while Sarah is eyeing an escape route to 1980 (but not the crappy one).

Why is Sutekh's cell so well-appointed? Why doesn't someone push a broom around the priory every now and then? And just who is Eternity's Cushion Plumper?

Listen to find out if the answers lie in the Pyramids of Mars and what score (hint hint) Jim and Martin give the serial.

CapaldiCast 1.11/1.12 - Series 8 Finale

"I am an idiot with a box and a screwdriver."

So after 12 weeks of soul-searching and self-scrutinisation, this is the conclusion the Doctor comes to.

Not the only disappointment, perhaps, during the two-part Series 8 finale, Dark Water and Death in Heaven.

Clara is not the Doctor, Missy is the Master (though perhaps not one worthy of the name) and Dead Danny becomes a Cyberman who saves the world. So far, so predictable.

But a Time Lord travelling by Mary Poppins' umbrella, an undead metallic Brigadier and skeletons who become Cybermen after a bout of inclement weather are a little less by-the-book.

But did Jim and Martin feel it all amounted to a satisfying end to the excellent Series 8? Or an embarrassing, drunken hurling-up after a feast of great Who?

Listen in to find out.

No, we're not saying Dark Water was a non-episode - just that we're not going to do an individual podcast episode on it.

Instead, we'll wait until the full two-part Series 8 finale is completed - Dark Water and Death in Heaven - before opening our pie-holes and spewing forth.

After 10 weeks straight, we're sure your ears could do with the rest.

See you in a week or so...
