78. Ripping Out the Copper Wiring
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 37 minutes and 45 secondsBen and Mark take two very different journeys to the centre of the TARDIS as they discuss 'Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS' and 'The Invasion of Time'.Just what is it about the Doctor's TARDIS that fascinates people so much? And similarly, what's the obsession with Gallifrey? We don't have the answers, but they're questions worth positing.Under discussion: Reprehensible and terrifying supporting characters, bottle episodes, tinfoil, Star Trek, Yes, Minister, an eloquent analysis of Steven Moffat's approach to time travel and the excellence of Milton Johns.ALSO: Mark outlines Leela's life in spin-off media to an increasingly anxious and upset Ben.WARNING!

He reviews the serial for the benefit of Ben, which leads to a brief discussion about serialisation in the age of Netflix. Mark then chats to Nabil Shaban about returning to the role of Sil, the universality of love and on-screen representations of disability in 2019.ALSO: Do Thoros Betan's get greener the older they get? What does Sil deserve more than Peter Capaldi? And what is it about a repulsive businessman with a great deal of political influence that makes Sil so relevant today?Follow us on Twitter

75. Take it all Baby
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 39 minutes and 35 secondsIn the last episode before a summer break, Ben and Mark rather aptly confront an evil sun and an evil arts project that attracts a cavalcade of freaks and riffraff. Is 'The Rings of Akhaten' as bad as its reputation suggests? Is there any real merit in asking an old Doctor to do a new speech? Does arc-building have casualties? And whilst we're at it, what is 'The Greatest Show in the Galaxy' about, anyway? Violent hippies? The battle to save Doctor Who from cancellation? Comedy as a defence mechanism? All this and more in the 75th On the Time Lash!

72. When We Were Lion Kings
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 50 minutes and 10 secondsBen and Mark bid farewell to three Doctor Who companions and ponder the differing approaches to the farewell story.

And in 'Warrior's Gate', Ben can't get his head round how bad many companion departures actually are, Mark admires Paul Joyce's pretensions, and is it really just simply about how awful slavery is?

Whilst some of the chat is potentially a by-product of booze and two friends having not seen each other for a while, there are also some more measured discussions of Amy and Rory's relationship, the problems with the Davison era and a lot of 80s Doctor Who as a whole, and what makes for a good debut from a Doctor.
