WHO doesn't like a good, in-depth interview? After all, that's what Pieces of Eighth is all about!

This week, we take a look at Reeltime Pictures' release of The Doctors: Paul McGann Years, which features a chat with the Eighth Doctor actor, co-stars Daphne Ashbrook, Yee Jee Tso and Eric Roberts, as well as executive producer Philip Segal, and TV Movie director Geoffrey Sax.

We chat with Reeltime's Keith Barnfather, who tells us about the origins of the range in the 1980s, and how it's become a vital repository for people wanting to know all about the classic series era, in the words of those who made the show.

Join Drew, Michele and Brent as they take the DWP RV out for a spin and have their say on Legend of the Sea Devils. Warning – strong opinions are contained within!

Vamos para mais um review!

No especial de Páscoa Legend of the Sea Devils, a Doutora, Yaz e Dan encontram a famosa pirata Madame Ching e se envolvem na busca por um tesouro! O episódio traz o retorno dos Sea Devils, da série clássica, e ainda traz outras surpresas no relacionamento da Doutora com a Yaz. Ah, e claro, a gente também comenta sobre o trailer do especial do Centenário, onde ocorrerá a regeneração da 13ª Doutora! Vem com a gente!

  12.1 Ice Heist! by Guy Adams (4 parts) Recently, the world changed for Margaret Hopwood. Everything she knew was turned upside down by the arrival of a strange man in a blue box. And now nothing in her life seems the same. So when he comes back with a lady called Leela and an invitation to an unusual art gallery, she’s more than happy to join him for the ride. And what a ride it is. Because it’s an art gallery on a distant world… where a deadly plan is about to commence - one involving creatures called Ice Warriors. 12.2 Antillia the Lost by Phil Mulryne (4 parts) Antillia. A place of mystery. A manufactured island in space, lost to time. But now it’s finally been found. The Doctor and his friends arrive on Antillia at the same time as an expeditionary party, delighted to solve one of the great mysteries of history. But they may have found more than they bargained for. Some things are better off lost.

In this episode we kick off with some news and reviews, what limited news there is right now, despite the wealth of material being produced. For our main, we return, somewhat reluctantly, to discuss season 2 of the recent TV show Star Trek Picard. Gluttons for punishment? Perhaps.    To talk about this episode and any other episode you can visit the Grouchy Old Geeks Facebook Group.

The Doctor and K9 have a Time Lady forced upon them and are sent on a quest for some lumps of perspex.

They find the first on a parky planet but, before they can get their hands on it, they have to contend with a couple of conmen, a whack job warlord, a rubbery reptile and a mad old dear with antlers.

This episode can also be found at iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible and all other podcatchers (as far as we know).

The 13th Doctor is back in action and this time she's taking to the high seas in a battle against an old foe. To help us discuss this latest episode, is our legendary friend, Kris Puddicomb!

In a future world where men (almost) wear their y-fronts outside their jump suits, T-Mat is the mode of travel du jour.

But when a troop of myopic Martians mince into a moon base, it's time for the Earthmen to polish their rockets and get ready for a foam party that'll put Ibiza to shame.

Ying Ki and Dan take the gem, split off, and swim out to Ching’s ship to take revenge. Ching reveals she is after the treasure of the legendary sailor Ji-Hun (who disappeared searching for the lost  treasure) because she needs it to pay the ransom for her kidnapped crew, including her two young sons. The Sea Devils unleash a leviathan, the Huasen, on Ching’s ship. The Doctor and Yaz travel back 274 years and witness a Sea Devil betraying Ji-Hun aboard the latter’s ship. Returning to 1807, they try to find the shipwreck to no avail. The Huasen takes the TARDIS, with the Doctor and Yaz inside, to the Sea Devils’ undersea lair. The Sea Devils seek the gem, the Keystone, to execute their plan. Pretending they have it, the Doctor and Yaz use it as leverage to board Ji-Hun's ship, which has been retrofitted with alien technology. They are shown Ji-Hun, who has been kept alive in stasis. He reveals he tricked the Sea Devils in their deal. Marsissus calls the Doctor’s bluff, claiming the Huasen has discovered the Keystone. Ji-Hun, the Doctor, and Yaz board Ching's ship. Ji-Hun finds out Ying Ki is his most trusted crew member Lee's descendant and reveals he gave the Keystone to Lee, who escaped his ship. The Doctor discovers Ying Wai's plan. Marsissus seizes the Keystone just as the Doctor realizes the Sea Devils plan to use it to flood . The protagonists fight the Sea Devils aboard Ching's ship. The Doctor tampers with Ji-Hun's ship’s alien technology but destroying it requires two cables to be held together. The Doctor volunteers to stay back while the others escape, but Ji-Hun offers to sacrifice himself instead. Madame Ching announces she has adopted Ying Ki and recovered enough treasure to pay the ransom. Dan calls his love interest Diane. Yaz confesses her romantic feelings toward the Doctor, who reluctantly turns her down out of fear of being hurt while affirming how special Yaz is to her and wishes they will stay together forever.

It's the episode we swore we'd already reviewed (but hadn't)! Our tour of Season 6 continues with The Doctor's Wife! Spoilers: we loved this story! And it absolutely holds up almost 12 years later.
