Fandom is so atomized: Take any two wildly popular genre figures such as "Doctor Who" and "Neil Gaiman" and you'll find many fans of one nearly unaware of the other. In this Time Dilation edition of 2MTL, Chicks Dig Time Lords co-editor Tara O'Shea and I take a walk down the the shelves full of Gaiman's prose, comics and screen work to provide a little explanation of why those of us in the middle of the Venn diagram are so excited.

But first: a traditional two-minute segment, as I tackle "Spoilergate."

In which Imran accidentally names this feature after an American sandwich shop and Martyn’s son won’t go to bed.

Matt and Ian are once again joined by Nuala, this time to discuss the classic Second Doctor serial "The Mind Robber." Known to be Patrick Troughton's favorite story during his own tenure, will the trio be entertained by the Land of Fiction, or would they have rather joined Frazer Hines in his Chicken pox-y fate than watch this one? Listen to find out, as we also take a look at "City of the Daleks" and "Blood of the Cybermen," the first two episodes of the Doctor Who Adventure game series.

Sponsored by Jacktar Rum, presumably… nobody is going to get that reference, nobody…

Season 6 keeps barrelling along and with a yo ho ho we come to the third episode – Curse of the Black Spot. Trevor, James and Tom discuss the merits and otherwise of this story.

We also play some feedback we have already received about this very episode!

Shiver me timbers and other such pirate bollocks, it's the projecteer's review of "Curse of the Black Spot".

Episode 50 next time. Please send feedback (audio if possible) to...

Sorry if the audio peaks a bit, this is because Paul left the import volume up. Prat.

Secret word this week (congrats to Bat Masterson for getting last week's) is Bilge.

Fresh out of their second viewing, the lads talk about The Curse of the Black Spot. Beware, Steve Thompson does not get much love (sorry, Steve).

Also, due to a little mistake on Alex's part, this episode sounds like it was recorded in St. Paul's Cathedral. It wasn't, & we will return to a less reverb-y sound next week.

This week's features song is 'Olivia, My Love' by The Ludvico Treatment. This song and more can be found at http://theludvicotreatment.bandcamp.com.

4 days until The Doctor's Wife.

ARGGGGH!

4 days until The Doctor's Wife.

ARGGGGH!

Better late than never, huh?

In this episode, we review the Third Doctor story Carnival of Monsters. And then a look at Series Six’s latest installment, The Curse of the Black Spot.

And as usual, your feedback. (We even had our first Google Voice submission, thanks Muldwych!)

The show is laden with pop culture references through out, so jot them all down, there may be a pop quiz later!

Enjoy!

Drink up, me hearties, yo ho! Grab your saber and pound some rum, because this week Brian, Bobby, Nancy and BJ head to pirate country to discuss "The Curse of the Black Spot," the newest entry into this season. While running down the episode, we also find time to gauge some fan reactions, read some listener feedback, and announce our contest winner for the "A Christmas Carol" Blu-ray/DVD. So come down to the galley and listen to the only podcast that also travels in time!
