We’re tackling the war on drugs in a delightfully zany story by one half of the Bristol Boys – Nightmare of Eden! This one is filled with so many ideas that it can only be a Bob Baker script – spaceship crashes, insurance conversations, conservation efforts, and needlessly complex drug running schemes. While Season 17 may not quite be at the heights of Season 14 (the pinnacle, so far!), it sure is fun to talk about!

Join us as we discuss how hyperspace travel might work, the joys of insurance, the brilliance of Tryst, similarities to Carnival of Monsters, late-1970s British drug culture, the ethics of the CET machine, and the police uniforms of the future (and why they should be adopted NOW!) Also, Julie calls out the Doctor on his nonsense.

If you would like to watch along with us, you can find this story available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB). If you’re a little old fashioned and prefer physical media (like our very own Anthony), you can find the entirety of Season 17 on Blu Ray from Amazon US (https://amzn.to/4cnZioD) and Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3yvWfg9)

We’re off to Paris (don’t you think it has a bouquet?) for what is held up by many as the outstanding adventure of Season 17 – City of Death! Will we find it as endearing as the majority of fandom seems to (8th in DWM’s Mighty 200 poll and 5th in the 50th anniversary poll, don’tcha know)? Well, you’ll have to listen in to find out!

Join us as we discuss the clear step-up in both SFX and model work, the absolutely sparkling dialogue, whether Count Scarlioni is the best-dressed man in all of Doctor Who, Duggan’s questionable method of just punching things, and whether Countess Scarlioni just thought that her husband was gay (and not a spaghetti alien). Of course, we have to rag on the French (it just had to be done!)
