This week my classic series re-watch reaches the recently rediscovered Doctor Who: The Enemy of The World a lavish and ambitiously told tale that became an instant classic once people were able to watch it in full.

End theme: Dr Who(Gypsy Guitar) by Thrip

"Professor... what's going on?!"

Good question, Ace.

The last ever classic Who story to be recorded, Ghost Light, is something of a period-piece puzzle - with a few pieces missing.

But it does include dinner-suited monsters, gun-toting maids, an insane explorer, a simian sermoniser and a Neanderthal butler (doesn't every home have one?). This madhouse is presided over by a dusty but upwardly mobile photophobe, with high treason on his ever-evolving mind.

But he doesn't bargain on the devious Doctor and the arsonous Ace, ably abetted by a racist rozzer and an uncontrolled control experiment.

Enter the angelic, anally retentive Light and the Earth is in imminent danger of being purged in a fit of OCD pique.

But can Jim and Martin shed any light on proceedings? Listen in and decide for yourself.

Welcome back Who fans and while news and merch continues to run a bit slow, we’re hopefully getting you through the Who drought!? Without further ado, let’s get into episode 86!

The News

The Restoration Team, responsible for the (mostly) great looking classic dvd’s in your collections, have updated their website with interesting tid bits on the last batch of classic releases and another week, more sad news as star of Blake’s 7 Gareth Thomas passed away aged 71. Blake’s 7 is often paired with classic Who as it was written by Terry Nation and Gareth Thomas himself is connected to Who by way of starring in Torchwood and Big Finish.

Merch Corner

It’s a comics week as Titan launch the new 9th Doctor range and they’ve also announced a new Torchwood run that will start this July, written by Captain Jack John Barrowman and Carole E. Barrowman.

“The Vampires of Venice” Review

Blood sucking vampires, creepy setting and marital tiffs. Does Toby Whithouse’s script deliver a scary enough story or do we feel like we’ve been smacked in the face with a blue-lobster-pointy fish, thing? Our review scores await.

Thank you as always for all your support and your views. Next week it’s that crazy-haired 6th Doctor’s turn when we review The Twin Dilemma. Have a great week and until next time – Allons-y!

The moment Josh has been waiting for has finally arrived. After a short delay at Oncoming Storm HQ, episode 171 sees Josh, Ashley, and Jeff reviewing Josh's favorite New Adventure (and, let's be honest, favorite Doctor Who book and one of the his favorite books period) The Also People, by Ben Aaronovitch . It's a quaint story where the Doctor meets God. OK, not that God, but a hyper intelligent artificial intelligence that sees over the People, a race composed of people both biological and mechanical that lives inside a Dyson Sphere. Oh, and Kadiatu is there too. But she's kinda feral crazy, and the Doctor may have to kill her. As you do. Anyway, come see if Ashley and Jeff are wise enough to join Josh in the cult of The Also People, or if they just have no taste at all. The Oncoming Storm... this time, we've got a talking parachute. And a talking fish. Honestly, pretty much everything in the Dyson Sphere talks. I bet going to the bathroom is awkward there.

Doctor Who telling us that we must be afraid of ordinary things started early. Like 1970s early. Like the Third Doctor telling us we should be afraid of yellow plastic flowers. Daffodils to be exact. Plastic daffodils. The ones being handed out by... AUTONS!! Terrifying, really. And so we review "Terror of the Autons" just in time for Spring. It must be spring, the rabbits are out in force and multiplying like, well, rabbits.

WARNING: Contains rabbit chasing

The first year of new-Who continues with its first two-parter. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we delve deep (I mean DEEP) into the relationships and characterizations and implications in "Aliens of London" and "World War Three". Yes, we touch on the farting aliens, but there's so much more in this story. It's a bit of an anchor point for the arcs of several of our characters, and we tug hard on that anchor.

In addition, we talk about the importance of libraries (Happy National Library Week!), the Doctor as a soldier, and someone utters the phrase "barfing emotions". It's quite a ride.

What do you think of this two-parter? Did the farting aliens or the domesticity turn you off? Or did you enjoy the drama? And is your reaction any different now than the first time you saw this (assuming you have seen it before)? Let us know in the comments!

^E

Also covered [links on our site]:

• Lynne has 13 hours of David Tennant to listen to, as they re-released his BBC audios in a boxed set!
• Erika is getting excited for the spin-off, Class!
• Tansy
  • heard gales of laughter as her daughters discovered Catherine Tate: comedic actress!
  • helped her daughter through the DW rite of passage that is learning about the missing episodes.
• Deb
  • was cheered greatly by the lovely "firsts" comments on our last Extra!
  • thanks Leah Flanagan for pointing her towards Galliday at Disney!
