I feel really bad about not knowing anything about partition, but watching this episode for the second time has actually prompted me to look into it more. It seems to have served the Doctor Who purpose of introducing an audience to an entirely new topic that they had no idea about. Does that make it the most successful Doctor Who episode of all time? Stay tuned to find out. It’s Demons of the Punjab, written by Vinay Patel and aired on November 11, 2018.

In Orphan 55, The Doctor and company find themselves in an All-Inclusive holiday Spa that comes under attack from a hostile force and everything is by no means what it appears. Will Ed Hime's tale survive an assault from Ant and Barry in this review of the episode?

It took longer than two minutes to explain–heck, longer than six days to figure out–why "Orphan 55" confounded me.

Now that the great big two-parter is over, we settle into the rest of series 12. Join Deb, Katrina, and Lizbeth as they chat about messages, character development, monsters, the fam, and much much more.

What did you think of "Orphan 55"? Drop us a tweet or let us know in the comments!

Happy things:

• Liz's newest Big Finish story has been released -- The Diary of River Song Series 07: Abbey of Heretics!
• Kat recently re-watched The Sarah Jane Adventures story "Death of the Doctor" and enjoyed the return of some old characters!
• Deb is really excited that the Gallifrey One program is starting to come together!

We start 2020 with an ending.

Loathe him or hate him, Adric has been a big part (prat?) of 80s Who but all things must pass, however indigestible.

Yes, this is Earthshock, which packed a couple of major bombshells back in the day (not counting Beryl Reid). It’s a tale of pointless deaths, some equally pointless characters and gender fluid troopers (many of them genuinely fluid by the time the murderous mime act has finished with them).

The Doctor promotes fine dining, Tegan packs heat, Nyssa plays house and Adric ploughs into the Diplodocidae. Meanwhile, it’s all bonuses and bollockings from Beryl and her long-suffering lackey can’t even sell out his own planet properly. Luckily Scott musters more machismo in his moustache than in Ringway’s whole body but cringing Kyle goes from gung-ho to agoraphobic at the drop of a boiler suit.

So were Jim and Martin wildly cheering or weeping inconsolably by the end of it all?

Listen to find out.
