"I shouldn't be down here at all, really. Driver, I am. See?"

Yes, perhaps it would be better if you were absent, Evans. You certainly drive everyone up the wall.

But the Welsh wimp is not the only peril in the London Underground in 1968's The Web of Fear. The slimmer-line Yeti now sling more web than Spidey, Professor Travers is now an old duffer cum Yeti whisperer, Harold Chorley is the obsequious and unacceptable face of the gutter press and somewhere a filthy traitor is at work...

Luckily, Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart is at hand, with his ever-shrinking batallion, while Ann Travers proves adept at rebuffing both amorous advances and unwelcome interviews and, somehow, finds time to smile at a rampaging Yeti.

Meanwhile, the Doctor is delighted by one of his balls, Jamie hides in a bin and Victoria drops an unidentified lanyarded object.

So is the return of this once-lost story a cause for celebration or should it have been left in the cobwebs? Listen here to find out what Jim and Martin think.

In a very special High Council, filled with talented writers, Josh attempts to put together a variety of Skype recordings into one episode. This week, and the next 3 will include the dulcet tones of Toby Hadoke (Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf), Rob Shearman (Dalek, Jubilee, Chimes of Midnight etc), and Peter Harness (Kill the Moon, The Zygon Invasion, The Zygon Inversion). As we investigate Tom Baker's final story, we learn quickly what kind of car shouldn't be on the road as well as how to change a tyre. Enjoy. Like I did.

This week, we begin the first of a two-part commentary for "The Two Doctors", a Robert Holmes romp with Two, Six, hipster cannibals, tall Sontarans, and Elton John as a disco scientist. Enticing! But before the main event, the Three Who Rule reflect on the 50th anniversaries of both Star Trek and The Prisoner, two shows that along side Doctor Who were seminal viewing experiences for their younger selves. Dive into the past with us, won't you?
