190 – Lucky 7: 42 Problems (& Martha Ain’t One)

Burn with us! Join Deb, Erika, Lizbeth, and Tansy as we burn through lots of feeling about Martha and lots of comparisons to “The Impossible Planet” and “The Satan Pit”. It’s a fast-paced, sweaty episode, and that’s just the way we (mostly) like it!

What are your thoughts on “42”? Let us know in the comments!

On this week’s Extra, we bring you more 7s. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we each talk about seven of our favourite costumes from all of the history of Doctor Who. Some of us found this exercise rather painful (only 7!?), but it was a delightful chat!

189 – Strange Matter of Time and the Rani

7&7 continues with the very first story of the 7th Doctor’s era. Join Deb, Erika, Lizbeth, and Lynne as we talk about the rocky early days of Sylvester McCoy’s run on the show. As you might expect, there’s also a lot of talk about the Rani, and even some love for Mel. If you’re hoping for an hour of slagging-off this story, kindly try another podcast, because we can’t help you.

What do you think of “Time and the Rani”, or the 7th Doctor, or the Rani, or Mel, or anything else we covered here? Let us know in the comments!

Extra! – Seven Minutes in Heaven(?) – Volume 1

It’s not a game; it’s an activity. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we try something new and wacky for our year of 7&7. This time we talk about seven topics for a minute each. They’re (mostly) not questions; they’re discussion points. Life comes at you fast!

Do you have any topics (or even questions) for us to discuss on another one of these? Let us know in the comments!

188 – Soul Asylum of the Daleks

We start off our year of sevens with the first story in series 7a. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we discuss “Asylum of the Daleks”. Sure there are Daleks, but there’s relationship angst, and we really dig into that, which should surprise nobody.

Have you (re)watched this story recently? Let us know what you think about it in the comments!

Happy things:

• Tansy continues her Big Finish listening with Colin Baker’s The Rani Elite, which includes a new Rani!
• Kat wants the new Her Universe Thirteenth Doctor crossbody bag!

Extra! – 2019: 7&7-Year Itch

As we embark on our 7th year of Verity! we’ve devised an appropriate theme. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we talk about all things “7”. We have so many ways we can make that number relate to Doctor Who, and we’re going to subject you to lots of them!
