192 – Verity Podcast and the Silurians

We’re beginning our 7&7 dive into season 7 — the 3rd Doctor’s first season! We already covered “Spearhead from Space” back in ep 116, so it’s time for some Silurians. Join Erika, Katrina, and Lizbeth as we talk about Jon Pertwee’s Doctor; Liz Shaw’s clothing; the relationships between the Doc, Liz, and the Brig; and the ethics of destroying a bunch of sleeping reptiles.

What are your thoughts on this story? And do you know where to find any clothing like Liz Shaw’s? Let us know in the comments!

Happy things:

• Liz WROTE A THING THAT EXISTS AND YOU CAN BUY from Big Finish: The Astrea Conspiracy!
• Kat celebrates the 100-episode mark for Doctor Who’s Line, is it? … Anyway!
• Erika completed many episodes of Lazy Doctor Who and celebrated with a trip to Variant Edition for some comics and the obligatory picture-in-front-of-the-TARDIS!

Extra! – Seven Villain Army

What better way to come down after Gallifrey One than plot how to take over planets/galaxies/universes/etc.? Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lizbeth as we strategize and scheme about which seven villainous/monstrous armies from Doctor Who would we each want to lead.

What about you? Let us know what armies you’d use to take over the world(s) in the comments!

Extra! – 5 Verities Makes a Gally

Sadly, this recording at Gallifrey One doesn’t feature all five of the Verities that were in attendance at the con; Lynne flew out earlier on Sunday, and Erika was felled by a nasty cold. Join Deb, Katrina, and Lizbeth as they exhaustedly chat about the delights of this year’s Gally, and there were many!

Did you attend Gally this year? Let us know your favourite things to see/do in the comments!

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!

Happy things:

• Tansy watches The Goodies box set with her family!

  • received a 13th Doctor fig from her mum (who has been buying DW toys for a quarter of a century)!
  • is excited about season 2 of The War Master series from Big Finish!

  • will be giving an academic presentation at Gallifrey One on The Laws of Rassilon!
• Erika shouts out Liz Mace, production manager for “Time Flight”, as seen on the Season 19 Blu-ray set!
• Deb can’t wait for Gallifrey One, especially the Verity! Meet-Up, Verity! In Defense Of, and her live commentary on “The Woman Who Fell to Earth” with Jamie Childs!
