Bigger on the Inside - Episode 85
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 59 minutes and 44 secondsThe Doctor's role as the master manipulator begins to shine through as his earliest adventure on Earth is retconned into something rather sinister in "Remembrance of the Daleks." And in "The Happiness Patrol," The Doctor and Ace are far from happy when they discover an emotionally oppressed society run by a tyrant and her candy-skinned assassin! Before starting this episode, keep the following questions in mind: what will Dan and Mike have to say about The Doctor's final act against Skaro, did Mike have a change of heart about "The Happiness Patrol," and just how awesome is the Special Weapons Dalek? (The answer to the last one is easy: freaking awesome!) Also, make sure to listen all the way to the end of the program for a special message from our friend Tom Deja.

Bigger on the Inside - Episode 84
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 24 minutes and 4 secondsFirstly, roving gangs, killer machines, cannibal grannies, and an undying architect plague The Doctor and Mel ("Paradise Towers"). Then genocidal mercenaries hunt an alien queen to Earth, in an effort to destroy her and her rapidly growing spawn ("Delta and the Bannermen"). And lastly, a dragon holds the key to an icy madman's freedom ("Dragonfire"). Additionally, Dan teaches Mike a new word, Mel leaves The Doctor to take up with Sabalom Glitz, Ace debuts, and Dan believes the 24th season just might be the worst ever.

Bigger on the Inside - Episode 83
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 39 minutes and 14 secondsIn "Time and The Rani," Sylvester McCoy, the final classic-era Doctor, makes his not-so-grand debut by wearing a Colin Baker wig, pratfalling, playing the spoons, screwing up common phrases, and stopping The Rani by letting her escape. Also, Dan has feelings about the opening credits (and they're not warm or fuzzy), and an old friend returns to the show.

Bigger on the Inside - Episode 82
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 58 minutes and 37 secondsColin Baker's final season of Doctor Who begins and comes to an end in this episode of Bigger on the Inside. In the 14-part "The Trial of a Time Lord," The Doctor must fight for his remaining lives against a supposedly immortal robot ("The Mysterious Planet"), a returned Sil ("Mindwarp"), vulgar-looking plant-monsters ("Terror of the Vervoids"), and his accuser: The Valeyard ("The Ultimate Foe")! As Dan and Mike say goodbye to Peri and Colin Baker, they greet Mel, have fun with the Vervoid costumes, and Mike discovers a new fetish: grannies with assault rifles.
-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 81
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 48 minutes and 50 secondsThe 22nd season of Doctor Who comes to a close as The Doctor prevents a mutant from committing genocide ("Timelash"), and then he steps in as Davros attempts to turn humans into the new Dalek race ("Revelation of the Daleks"). From there the guys discuss the mini-episode "A Fix with Sontarans," the 18-month hiatus, and, sigh, "Doctor in Distress." Also, Peri does something useful, and Dan has an epic rant.
-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 80
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 56 minutes and 45 secondsAfter spending five minutes gushing about a podcast, Dan and Mike close out 2011 by banging their heads against the wall while discussing "The Mark of the Rani" (with a character-damaging appearance by The Master) and "The Two Doctors" (with Patrick Troughton spending the bulk of his time strapped into or on things).
-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 79
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 8 minutes and 25 secondsUsing an ill-gotten time machine, the Cybermen plan to destroy Earth in 1985, thus saving Mondas one year before their very first encounter with The Doctor ("Attack of the Cybermen"). Then, a dying TARDIS needs a rare ore to survive, but to acquire it The Doctor and Peri must withstand the endless traps of a mindlessly violent television show ("Vengeance on Varos").

-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 78
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 36 minutes and 25 secondsDepending on which host you ask, "The Twin Dilemma" is either rote or enjoyable. However, once Colin Baker is factored in, they agree rather mightily on his awesomeness! Also, the 21st season is examined, and Mike reacts poorly to the results of a Doctor Who Magazine poll.
-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 77
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 15 minutes and 28 seconds"Planet of Fire" and "The Caves of Androzani" bring Peter Davison's era to an end with "the best story of the 48 year history of Doctor Who," a truly emotional performance, and a stunning regeneration. Before Davison leaves, however, we also say goodbye to Turlough and Kamelion, and hello to Peri.
-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 76
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 45 minutes and 14 secondsAs the guys speed to the end of Peter Davison's era as The Doctor, both the violence and quality of the series begins to pick up. In "Frontios," despite his reservations, The Doctor comes to the aid of an Earth colony besieged by weaponized meteorite showers. Then in "Resurrection of the Daleks," Davros is freed by his creations because they need him to cure a deadly virus, but it all leads to a Dalek civil war. And the ensuing carnage, bloodshed, and death causes Tegan to flee from her life with The Doctor.
-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 75
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 8 minutes and 21 secondsWith only a few minor spoilers, the guys briefly discuss "The Wedding of River Song." Then a listener tells a tale of a Doctor Who-related prank that nearly went wrong. As for the two stories, first, in "Warriors of the Deep," the Silurians and Sea Devils are back, and are up to their old man-eradicating ways. And in "The Awakening," a long-buried alien force takes control of a village during a reenactment of the English Civil War. Mixed in with the green paint of the Myrka are lots of truly random references, often to better programming. Note: The duo experienced Internet issues during the recording, leading to some less-than-desirable bits of audio.

Bigger on the Inside - Episode 74
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 43 minutes and 20 secondsAs four-ish of the five Doctors try to save their very existence, a traitor is revealed on the High Council of Time Lords!

Bigger on the Inside - Episode 73
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 18 minutes and 14 secondsAs a group of immortals sail around our solar system seeking enlightenment, the Black Guardian makes his final move against The Doctor ("Enlightenment"). Then, in an effort to prevent parliamentary democracy from ever forming, The Master attempts to stop King John of England from signing the Magna Carta ("The King's Demons"). As for the two most recent modern episodes of Doctor Who ("The Girl Who Waited" and "The God Complex"), there are spoilers between 3:40 and 13:40. Vroom! Vroom!
-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 72
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 39 minutes and 24 secondsAs The Doctor attempts to save his own life from a small group of undying mutants ("Mawdryn Undead"), and then the lives of those suffering from a leprosy-like disease ("Terminus"), Turlough is introduced as the Black Guardian's sort-of-unwilling lackey / assassin, a retired Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart makes his return, and Nyssa bids the TARDIS and her friends farewell.
-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 71
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 2 minutes and 19 secondsOutside of Colin Baker making his Doctor Who debut (in which he gets to shoot and later execute The Doctor), there's not much to say about "Arc of Infinity" and "Snakedance." Well, obviously that's not true. The episode is an hour long, so the guys had stuff to say, such as comments on Nyssa's new outfit, a villain's resemblance to a child actor, and puppets. Lots of puppets.
-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 70
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 53 minutes and 25 secondsIn this somber episode of Bigger on the Inside, Dan and Mike mourn the loss of a companion who's been with The Doctor since his last incarnation. That's right, Tegan, the brash Australian woman with dreams of becoming a stewardess has left the TARDIS to fulfill her career path. We'll miss you, Tegan. Also, as the 19th season comes to a close, Adric gets totally obliterated to much laughter ("Earthshock"), and The Master does something but the guys aren't sure what it is ("Time-Flight").
-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 69
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 8 minutes and 3 secondsWith a plot about an alien attempting to eradicate all life on Earth, "The Visitation" is a rather rote Doctor Who story. However, the serial is saved by Richard Mace (AKA Mr. Awesome), who Mike suggests might be related to another one-off companion from one of Tom Baker's most beloved stories. Then, in the two-part "Black Orchid," The Doctor is accused of murder, and a family secret prevents someone from corroborating The Doctor's alibi. Before all that, however, Chris Johnson drops by to deliver a segment that highlights the ups and downs of the recently ended Tom Baker era. (Said segment runs from 8:14 to 48:03.)
-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 68
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 27 minutes and 50 secondsThe guys lament getting old, talk about how marriage changes one's ability to splurge on DVDs, and they address Peter Davison's costume. Also, Dan and Mike can't agree when it comes to "Four to Doomsday" and "Kinda." Meow!
-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 67
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 23 minutes and 29 secondsVirus-infected computers, snobby IT guys, and YouTube posters get the guys bleeping bleep right out of the gate. After that, though, they calm down to discuss Peter Davison's first adventure as The Doctor: "Castrovalva."
-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 66
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 9 minutes and 10 secondsAfter seven seasons on Doctor Who and nearly 10 months of coverage on Bigger on the Inside, Tom Baker departs the role of The Doctor during the four-part serial "Logopolis." Join Dan and Mike as the speak about the man whose impossibly long scarf and wild mane made him a worldwide icon who's still synonymous with the role all these years later. This episode also looks back at the 18th season of Doctor Who, as well as the two most recent modern stories: "The Almost People" and "A Good Man Goes to War." Warning: Spoilers for the mid-season cliffhanger fill the air between 10:28 and 41:35.

-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 64
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 26 minutes and 51 secondsBeginning the three-part E-Space trilogy is "Full Circle," in which a group of humanoids are on the run from Marshmen, but little does anyone know the true secret of the aquatic aliens. Then The Doctor and Romana put an end to the Time Lord / Vampire war in "State of Decay." At the top of the show, however, Dan discusses his issues with "Day of the Moon," and Mike his problems with "The Curse of the Black Spot." And throughout the show, the duo eviscerate The Doctor's newest companion: Adric.
-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 63
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 43 minutes and 56 secondsDan and Mike start off Tom Baker's final season of Doctor Who with "The Leisure Hive" and "Meglos," two rather forgettable stories.

Note: This episode was recorded before the passing of Nicholas Courtney, hence the reason his death isn't mentioned at the top of the show. Look for Dan and Mike's thoughts about the man and his character next episode.
-
Bigger on the Inside - Episode 57
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 23 minutes and 17 secondsThe Key to Time saga begins with "The Ribos Operation" and "The Pirate Planet," in which The Doctor and Romana must stop tyrants of different kinds while locating the first two segments of the aforementioned key.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 31 minutes and 49 secondsIn the longest episode of Bigger on the Inside yet, Dan and Mike speak about two excellent stories! In "The Robots of Death," The Doctor, Leela, and the robotic D84 put a stop to a murderous scheme to end all human life. And in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang," a crazed time traveler who's stuck in Victorian London seeks his lost vessel, but activating it could destroy everything! From there, the two hosts discuss the spectacular 14th season, which just might be the best ever. (During which, Mike has one more chance to pronounce "Mandragora." Does he get it right?) And on top of all that, the hour-long podcasting panel from Chicago TARDIS 2010, which Mike took part in, is presented! That's one hefty show!
