Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 7 minutes and 41 secondsIt's a classic-Who first! Join Deb, Erika, and Katrina as they talk about the first Doctor Who story written by a woman, Barbara Clegg's "Enlightenment". Not for the first time, Erika and Kat go against received fan wisdom and are lukewarm at best toward this story. Good thing Deb is here to balance things out.
What do you think of "Enlightenment"? Are you drawn in by its fascinating concepts? Or left cold by a lack of connection to what's happening on screen? Let us know in the comments!

Extra! - The Oncoming Storm Warning
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 51 minutes and 13 secondsIt's an audio-based Extra! this week! Join Deb, Erika, and Liz as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first televised appearance of the 8th Doctor by talking about his first audio appearance! That's right, it's Storm Warning. And because we love Big Finish so much, we digress a LOT and talk about many other Big Finish stories we love--whether they include 8 or not. When it comes to DW audios, it's near-impossible to keep us on track, and we're A-OK with that!
Have you heard Storm Warning? If so, what do you think of it? And do you think it's a good starting place for a new BF listener? Let us know in the comments!

109 - Resurrection of a Dalek
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 20 minutes and 58 secondsBack to new Who series 1! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we talk about Rob Shearman's resurrection of the Doctor's most iconic enemy, the Daleks. We do a little "fanthropology" and talk about how we each felt watching this story when it first aired and whether we feel any different now. It was a turning-point episode for some of us, but does it live up to the memories? Listen and see!
What do you think of "Dalek"? Is it still (or was it ever) amazing? Or does TV from 11 years ago look too different to take as seriously? Let us know in the comments!

Extra! - Day One, Chibnall-Style
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 47 minutes and 50 secondsTime for another first-based Extra! (Which is sadly sans-Deb--damn real world!) Join Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we talk about Chris Chibnall's first foray into the televised Doctor Who universe. It's not an ep of DW, however. The first he wrote was the second episode of Torchwood, "Day One". It's a solid start that gets the series rolling with lots of delicious character interaction and provides much-needed visibility for bisexual people. That's our story and we're sticking to it.

108 - 1 New Companion & 2 Classic Stories
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 41 minutes and 11 secondsWe are all over the map this week! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we discuss all sorts of interesting Doctor Who goodness.
First, we dump our "happy thing" segment and break our no-news rule because the announcement of a new companion is a Big Deal! We're excited about having a new face in the TARDIS, but the level of excitement varies wildly between Verities.
Next, we continue our run through classic season 1 with "The Edge of Destruction". It's a fascinating set piece that delves into the characters of our first TARDIS team in a spooky and often disturbing way. Chillingly delightful!
Finally, we touch on our first missing story, "Marco Polo". There are oodles of ways to consume this one, and we all did it differently. We compare various methods and talk about the story itself. Opinions vary on this one even more than they do on the new companion.
Oh, and in addition to all that, we're doing another Verity! GIVEAWAY! If you need some cool fan merch, Redbubble is the place for you, and we're giving away a $25 gift certificate. To enter, just head over to the Giveaway Post and leave a comment before Friday, May 6th! (NOTE: If you're one of our amazing, intelligent, attractive Patreon supporters, you're entered automatically!)
As for the comments section here, let us know what you think of Bill, "The Edge of Destruction", "Marco Polo", your favorite Doctor Who comedy podcasts, and whatever else we touched on. We're all ears!

107 - A Tale of Two Families
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 37 minutes and 53 secondsThe 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!

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 52 seconds...except when you do. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we struggle to remember a bunch of Doctor Who firsts. We talk tat, books, Big Finish, and more! That "more" includes fanworks, so I'm including this for Liz once again:
So what were your firsts in these categories? And what other firsts would you like to hear about? Let us know in the comments!

106 - Terror of the Accents
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 27 minutes and 22 secondsAfter last week's delightful interview with Katy Manning, we thought it a perfect time to cover Jo Grant's first outing. Join Deb, Katrina, Liz, Lynne, and Tansy as they discuss"Terror of the Autons", which was not only Jo's first story, but the Master's, as well as what many call the first real "UNIT family" story. Some even argue it's the genesis of a budding romance between the Master and the Doctor...
Tansy is on Valium, Liz forgets her intro, and Kat gets to talk about punk rock. A good time is had by all! And of course, it wouldn't be a Verity! ep if the Verities didn't take a sweet tangent into social issues. This time it's an examination of accents and the class systems of various countries.

Extra! - Joyful Jo
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 53 minutes and 14 secondsIt's another Verity! interview! Deb and Erika do a brief intro for Deb's on-stage interview with Katy Manning from LI Who! Katy is even more delightful in person than Jo is on screen. And that's saying something. Hear about...
- The time Katy asked Jon Pertwee "What would we do if we didn't have any arms?"
- Katy's fashion advice: "If you're going to wear a mini-skirt, you must get matching knickers."
- General observations on life: "That's kind of what life is you know. You're a mom, you're making a lampshade, but also you're writing a really filthy rap song."
- And this: "I've got a collector's mouth." (Yes, she explains this, but you'll have to listen to hear what she means.)

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 48 minutes and 53 secondsWe went there. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we delve into the deep past of Mark Gatiss' scripted Doctor Who work for our "year of firsts". It may not be the tightest, flashiest DW-related production ever, but we manage to tease out some Gatissisms that recur later. We do our darnedest to stay positive! And even succeed to some extent.
Have you seen P.R.O.B.E. - The Zero Imperative? What did you think? Did it quench your need for Who in a time without it? Or did the all-star cast distract you too much to pay much attention to the spooky story?

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 30 minutes and 49 secondsOur sojourn through series 1 continues. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we talk about "The End of the World" and, to a lesser extent, "The Unquiet Dead". (If you want a more in-depth Verity! discussion about "The Unquiet Dead", check out episode 83.) We talk about Rose's first proper outings with the Doctor and what they mean to that burgeoning relationship. And yes, "relationship" can mean many things to many viewers.
How do you feel about these episodes? Have your feelings changed as much as Erika's? Were you a baby-fan like Deb the first time you watched? And how do you view the interactions of Rose and the Doctor in these early outings? Let us know in the comments!

103 - How to Watch Doctor Who
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 28 minutes and 42 secondsEditor's note: We recorded this before the Amazon Prime/Crave TV news dropped! Appropriate links below.
We've touched on it before, but in our year of firsts, we thought it worth revisiting--where do you recommend people start watching Doctor Who? And how can folks (especially in the US) find it to watch? Join Deb Erika, and Tansy as we dive deep into both halves of this tricky equation. There are many different strategies to get folks to join us in loving Doctor Who, but there are few ways to watch it--and even fewer now that Hulu and Netflix in the US have lost all DW titles.
