Breaking The Ice Warriors

We continue to delve into the origins of Doctor Who‘s “classic” villains. Join Tansy and Erika for this chat about Martians that maybe kinda sorta look like Vikings? If you can’t see them very well? And maybe don’t know what a Viking actually looks like?

What did you think of “The Ice Warriors” and of Ice Warriors in general? Drop us a tweet or let us know in the comments!

Happy things:

• Erika – “War/Nine of Arcadia” (Green Day parody) by Sycorax Rock!
• Tansy – Author Juno Dawson is writing a new narrative full-cast podcast, featuring trans lead actress Charlie Craggs: Doctor Who Redacted!

Verity! Episode 26 – Two New 2! It’s True!

Woo hoo! This week Deb, Erika, Katrina, Liz, and Lynne join the ranks of gleeful fans around the world as we celebrate the return of nine previously-lost second Doctor episodes! We just happen to have reached dear old 2 in our countdown, so we threw out the story we planned for and decided “The Web of Fear” is a great representative story. Though maybe not all of us were quite as squeeful about it as expected.

Of course we can’t help but talk about “The Enemy of the World” a bit too. It’s all just SO EXCITING!

Also covered:

• Lynne listened to “Evil of the Daleks”! And is thrilled that Michael Damian Thomas is a guest at Chicago TARDIS!
• Kat’s finds that tumblr fandom has embraced the newly-found episodes! And her knit-a-thon is almost 3/4 funded!
• Liz plays with Sutekh and her Pyramids of Mars playset!
• Erika is in love with the new Sunspot song, “Arthuriana” (especially the Doctor Who bits)!
• Deb is excited Traffic Experiment is releasing our theme tune on vinyl! And met Alisa Stern, aka The Doctor Puppet, at NYCC!
