194 – Delta and the Bannermen Behaving Badly

It’s 7th Doctor time again! Join Deb, Katrina, and Tansy as they talk about the kitschy fiftiesness that makes up “Delta and the Bannermen”. Sadly for Erika, she watched the story and was too unwell to make it onto the podcast.

How do you feel about this story? Let us know in the comments!

Special thanks to our guest editor for this episode, Steven Schapansky of Castria!

Happy things:

• Kat likes that Jodie Whittaker’s replacement on Trust Me is a Doctor Who nerd!
• Tansy is still firmly on the Big Finish train and enjoys The Diary of River Song Series 02!
• Deb is amused that Jenna Coleman nicked a number of things from the Doctor Who set!

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!
