Mini-arc #3, companions collecting women companions, starts with the realization that new-Who doesn't have many great examples of this. Join Deb, Liz, and Lynne as they discuss why that might be and how it works (or doesn't) in the case of "Mummy on the Orient Express". Poor Erika, who is absent, takes some serious guff.

What do you think about companions' companions in the modern era? Are they sparse because of lack of screen time? Is it simply a different type of storytelling? Or something else? Let us know in the comments!

^E

Also covered:

• Lynne wants (and will get!) more 13th Doctor fiction!
• Liz flips over Derek Jacobi as the War Master in Big Finish!
• Deb loves an article in The Guardian about women directors (including Rachel Talalay)!

Bonus link: Verity!'s previous "Mummy" ep

In Episode 23: Living In The Shag Palace, the boys imagine a world in which their favorite rock stars are given prominent roles in Doctor Who, deconstruct the 1968 Second Doctor adventure Enemy of the World, share their thoughts on the 2015 Christmas Special The Husbands of River Song, and kick off the first part of a two-part Regeneration Death Zone featuring the first (but not last) last adventure of the Sixth Doctor, Gary Russell’s 2005 BBC novel Spiral Scratch.

It feels like we just started this era yesterday.

The end of an era, truly. The Sixth Doctor was here for nearly 10 seasons. Wait, you’re telling me that in this universe he only had two seasons? How did you guys cope? So you didn’t get The March of the Valeyard? Devastation of the Daleks? The Damnation? I can’t believe it, this really is the darkest timeline. Well, here’s the Sixth Doctor retrospective anyway, featuring an additional discussion of Spiral Scratch. Spiral Scratch was written by Gary Russell and released on the 4th of August, 2005.
