079: Meglos

"Haven't I seen you somewhere before?"

Dunno. Have you watched The Golden Voyage of Sinbad?

Hurrah! It's double helpings of Tom Baker in 1980's Meglos, one bristlier and greener around the gills than the other.

It's a saga of succulents, savants and power supplies wherein Romana is fondled by a bunch of flowers, K9 is assaulted by a bunch of light opera extras and the Doctor is plagued by a bunch of pricks.

Debate rages between the Wigs and the lunatic fringe and the poor man's John Le Mesurier is caught dithering in the middle.

Will Meglos succeed? Is Brotadac's anagram apposite? Will anyone remember any of this in the morning?

Listen in as Jim and Martin discuss ... sorry... what were we talking about again...?

078: The Power of Three

"There are soldiers all over my house and I'm in my pants."

Not what happened during the recording of this podcast episode but a mildly diverting moment from The Power of Three - something of an oasis, some might say.

Yes, this is the story of the boring slow invasion. The Doctor's bored, Rory's out of washing powder, Amy sniffs some milk and Brian spends hours sitting around watching the box. Never fear - maybe Kate Stewart's drone (voice, not military hardware) and a half-baked, blink-and-you'll-miss-him hologram will liven things up? And maybe they won't.

But who (and why) are the grill-faced nurses? Does the little girl who lives full-time in Rory's waiting room now have squatters' rights? And does having carked it for half an hour count as a near death experience?

Listen in to hear Jim and Martin tackle all these questions - and a serious attack of ennui.
