208 – 7 Nation Army of Ghosts/Doomsday Tripper

Okay, this “7” is a stretch but we made it work. Join Deb, Lynne, and Tansy as we dissect the rollicking, emotional, and devastating story duo of “Army of Ghosts” and “Doomsday”.

We give credit to 8 y.o. RTD (the obvious creator of the Dalek v. Cyberman smackdown) while calling out the emotional manipulation he inflicted upon both Jackie and Rose. But we all come together in our adoration Yvonne Hartman’s confidence (and tailoring) and Mickey Smith’s swagger.

What are your favorite bits of this, literally, epic two-parter? Or was the emotional manipulation just a bit too much? Let us know what you think in the comments!

Happy things:

• Lynne is beyond thrilled that Arthur Darvill has been announced as a guest at next months’ Chicago TARDIS!
• Tansy is filled with maternal pride that her youngest bought their first sonic screwdriver – and it’s the 13^th Doctor’s!
• Deb is still recovering from seeing Christopher Eccleston at NYCC. She live-tweeted the experience in case you missed it!

7&7 brings us back to the 7th Doctor! Join Deb, Lizbeth, and Lynne as they discuss “Ghost Light”. They do talk about things other than Ace-in-a-tux, but let’s face it, that’s one of the more important aspects of this story.

How do you feel about Ghost Light? Or about Ace in a tux? Let us know in the comments!

Happy things:

• Liz is thrilled to be writing for the 12th Doctor again in Big Finish’s The Twelfth Doctor Chronicles!
