Hold onto your butts, it's a wine episode!

On this week's show, Danica and Brandon bear witness to "The Empress of Mars" and gave Mark Gatiss the benefit of the doubt because they were drunk. Spoiler alert: they shouldn't have. Hey. Do you think an episode featuring the colonial British might be pretty racist? Well, at least there's treasures for them to steal. Also, penis metaphors.

His invention, the Keller Machine, is being heralded as a major scientific breakthrough.But Professor Keller is in truth the Master, and the Keller Machine is much more than a mere machine.Soon the Doctor, Jo, the Brigadier and UNIT are involved in a bitter struggle with the Master, an alien mind parasite, and a diabolical scheme to plunge the world into a Third World War... Richard Franklin, who played Captain Mike Yates in the BBC TV series, reads Terrance Dicks's novelisation of a 1971 TV serial by Don Houghton."

"I am the Doctor... whether you like it or not."

Ahem... awkward!

Yes, this is Colin Baker's debut debacle as the Doctor, The Twin Dilemma.

A tale of a Hurndall understudy in a dress, two bratty bowl-cut brain-boxes, pestilent parrot people and a hairy slug with an inter-species libido.

And , at its centre, we have our 'hero' who tries to bluster, cower, whine and strangle his way into our hearts, and his poor sidekick, who has probably never felt quite so sidelined - or quite so kicked.

Blood bubbles, slugs slime, sartorial atrocities are committed with impunity and a thieving magpie is fed to the starving masses (tastes like chicken, apparently).

Loathe it or hate it, it's perennially at the bottom of the sort of polls its lead actor despises.

But do Jim and Martin think it lives down to its reputation?

Leapin' Lizards, it's the return of the Ice Warriors, as Stephen, Clay, and Andy define the term "Gatissy", discuss bootstrap paradoxes, the awesomeness of Alpha Centauri, and why this episode might be one of the season's best. Plus: Amanda Rae returns with TWO "This Week In Bill" segments, a Gilbert and Sullivan parody, a Kids Talk Who segment, and much much more on this episode where, like the Ice Empress, you'll find yourself surrounded by noisy males.

Low expectations may have helped, but all three Verities enjoyed this ep to varying degrees. Join Deb, Erika, and Katrina as we talk about what we liked and, of course, the few things we didn't. There was some definite "iffy" territory to cover as well.

What did you think of "Empress of Mars"? Was it rollicking, fanservicey fun? Did it make you uncomfortable from a representational perspective? Possibly both? Does the title need a definitive article? Let us know in the comments!

^E

Also covered:

• Erika delighted in a Doctor Who mention by Summer Brennan on The FourFiftyOne podcast!
• Kat used Doctor Who language in a work presentation!
• Deb is excited that, according to Russel T. Davies, the new Doctor has been (or may have been?) cast!

Bonus links:
Gene Demby mentions Doctor Who
Does the dog die?

@tindogpodcast reviews The TARDIS is going underground. When the Doctor and Romana find themselves buried beneath the surface of an alien world, they're soon swallowed up by a giant burrowing machine. This is where the inhabitants of this planet live - in huge, constantly moving, Drill-towns, chewing up the fuel and resources of the planet in order to survive. But something else lurks in the earth. Something that feeds on the Drill-towns. Something that is relentless and will not stop. The Silex are hunting. Written By: Jonathan Morris Directed By: Nicholas Briggs Cast Tom Baker (The Doctor), Lalla Ward (Romana), Matthew Cottle(Mr Maxwell Wilberforce Bell), Abigail McKern (Mrs Lucretia Bell), Robbie Stevens (Mr Jelicho Wigg/ Mr Wilfer Wagstaff), Jane Slavin(Miss Arabella Wagstaff/ Mrs Betsy Wagstaff), John Banks (Silex/ Mr Stoker). Other parts played by members of the cast. Producer David Richardson Script Editor John Dorney Executive Producers Jason Haigh-Ellery and Nicholas Briggs

Nic, Andy and Derek clench their fists to their hearts and pledge service to the Empress of Mars. But this is Mark Gatiss story and that can mean one of two things… Which is it? And just what is this bonkers theory Andy has heard about the Xmas Special?

The nobility of the warrior, the code of conduct to which they adhere, has been the subject of dramatic entertainment for millennia. From the amphitheaters of Ancient Greece, to the television programs of today, we can still be awed by the discipline and honor exemplified by history’s greatest warrior civilizations. The reptilian species of Mars once held this level of esteem — one facet of a complex and unique nature — and the Doctor himself recognizes it. “They could slaughter entire civilizations…and weep […]

SLEEP NO MORE, my Warriors! Ha! Get it? Sleep No More? Mark Gatiss? Yes, he meant to do that. This week, John and Taylor make their way through the caves of Mars, look at the return of not one, but two, Classic Who characters, and discuss what makes a perfect episode of Doctor Who. And the Golden State Warriors make a small cameo at the end.

This week Phil and Paul journey to Mars with erm.. the Empress of Mars by Mark Gatiss. In this tale of Ice Warriors vs Victorian Soldiers, is this a return to form for series 10 after a couple of bumpy episodes? Well, our reviewing duo certainly have a lot to discuss with the return of an old fan favourite, more movie references than you can shake a stick at and also plenty of listener feedback!

And in the news, RTD knows who the new Doctor is and there is Omega's Stats and Tat Corner!

Jason and Paul manage to return from the time vortex to discuss two episodes this time: “Pyramid at the End of the World” and “The Lie of the Land.” We’re pulling double duty to finish up the Monk’s Trilogy this time! But was it worth it? We’ve got mysterious pyramids, creepy monks, a pure companion, and the mother of all fake outs!

Jason and Paul manage to return from the time vortex, in just enough time to discuss two episodes this time around: "Pyramid at the End of the World" and "The Lie of the Land."  They're pulling double duty to finish up the Monk's Trilogy, but was it worth it?  There are mysterious pyramids, creepy monks, a pure companion, and the mother of all fake outs!  Listen in, and tell us all what you think.  Are these episodes great, or just a big fake-out, themselves?

'God save the Queen' has been scrawled on the surface of Mars. What are Victorians doing on the home of the Ice Warriors? And what will they find beneath the Martian soil?

Empress of Mars" is the ninth episode of the tenth series of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It is written by Mark Gatiss and was broadcast on 10 June 2017 on BBC One. "Empress of Mars" received generally favorable reviews from television critics. The Doctor (Peter Capaldi), Nardole (Matt Lucas), and Bill (Pearl Mackie) travel to Mars, but upon arrival, they find themselves in the middle of a conflict between the Ice Warriors and Victorian soldiers. The episode marks the return of the Ice Warriors, last seen in "Cold War", an episode of the seventh series that was also written by Gatiss. Contents [hide] 1Synopsis 1.1Continuity 1.2Outside references 2Production 2.1Writing 3Broadcast and reception 3.1Critical reception 4References 5External links Synopsis[edit] On Earth 2017, NASA finds the words "God save the Queen" made of rocks buried under the ice cap of Mars. The Doctor, Bill and Nardole venture to Mars in 1881 to investigate, and they discover that the planet is occupied by human soldiers from Victorian Britain. Nardole goes back into the TARDIS, but it departs for unexplained reasons, returning to the university in present day. Nardole has to ask Missy for help getting back. The humans have befriended an Ice Warrior they have named Friday. Captain Catchlove says they rescued Friday from his crashed spaceship while on patrol in Africa. In exchange, Friday allowed the soldiers to use his species' technology to travel to and mine Mars. The Doctor surmises that Friday is using them to access to his hive. They soon unearth the tomb of the Ice Queen. Despite Colonel Godsacre's order to not approach it, one guard cuts a crystal from the base of the tomb which revives the Ice Queen, Iraxxa. Iraxxa's waking leads to a confrontation with the humans. Friday tells Iraxxa it has been 5,000 years, and Mars' surface is uninhabitable; the Doctor asks Iraxxa to show mercy and gain help from the humans. Dismissing the Doctor and the soldiers, she asks Bill for her opinion, as a fellow woman. She decides to relent based on Bill's word, but then a soldier suddenly fires his rifle, the shot harmlessly glancing off Iraxxa's helmet. Provoked, she returns fire. Catchlove takes command, locking up the Doctor, Bill, and Godsacre, and traps Iraxxa and Friday within the tomb, where they start reviving more Ice Warriors. As the Ice Warriors launch their attack, Friday allies himself with the Doctor and Bill and helps the Doctor gain control of the mining device. The Doctor threatens to use it to bury all under the ice cap. Catchlove holds Iraxxa at knifepoint and attempts to force her to help him pilot a spaceship back to Earth. Godsacre manages to surprise Catchlove and kills him, then begs Iraxxa to kill him. Iraxxa calls off the attack in exchange for Godsacre pledging himself to the Ice Warriors. The Doctor covertly contacts Alpha Centauri to assist the Ice Warriors. The Doctor and Bill help Godsacre leave the message that NASA will discover. Nardole re-appears with the TARDIS. Missy is also on board and expresses concern about the Doctor's health. Continuity[edit] The Doctor's sonic screwdriver still has "no setting for wood", a defect first mentioned in "Silence in the Library". The portrait of Queen Victoria displayed resembles Pauline Collins, who played the role in "Tooth and Claw". [1] Outside references[edit] Friday is named after the character "Friday" from Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.[1] Bill mentions the movies The Terminator and The Thing, and the Doctor refers to the film Frozen.[1] Upon the discovery of the Ice Empress' tomb, the Doctor says "I've got a bad feeling about this," a recurring phrase in the Star Wars franchise.[2] Production[edit] The read-through for "Empress of Mars" was on 11 January 2017. Filming with the previous episode "The Lie of the Land started on 27 January, with principal shooting ending on 22 February.[2] Writing[edit] The story was originally to have been set on Peladon rather than Mars, hence the return of Alpha Centauri after 43 years.[1]It was also reported to have originally been planned as a sequel to the ninth series episode " Sleep No More", also by Mark Gatiss, referenced in the line delivered by the Ice Empress exhorting her warriors to "sleep no more".[3] Broadcast and reception[edit] The episode was watched by 3.58 million overnight.[4] It received an AI of 83.[5] Critical reception[edit] Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Rotten Tomatoes (Tomatometer) Rotten Tomatoes (Average Score) The A.V.

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast this week talks all about "Empress of Mars", Series 10, Episode 9 written by Mark Gatiss, a delightful homage to Classic Doctor Who. The story has Ice Warriors, Victorian Soldiers on Mars, and even a cameo by Alpha Centauri herself! Plus, some interesting Missy interaction to discuss and ponder what it could mean for the rest of the season. Plus, there's trivia (including a failure on my part that still has me marinating in shame) and news.

NOTE/CORRECTION on the NEWS bit - we talk about Russell T Davies giving a quote about the next Doctor. I got the quote wrong on the podcast - I read it as "I know who HE (the next Doctor) is" instead of the correct "I know who IT is" (that has been cast as the next Doctor). So, that's my screwup (based on my belief that the BBC will go male AGAIN, due to their hidebound stodginess), and I apologize. My hope is that I'll be proven wrong about the BBC (and to be fair, I'm OFTEN WRONG) and can happily proclaim as much in the future.

Please have a listen!

In this week’s show we look at the latest story in Doctor Who Series 10, The Empress of Mars. We’ll give our, very brief this week, impressions on the episode.

Also, some news, that’s not news, about news, that will be news eventually. We’re referring to a certain someone’s (*cough* RTD) claim that he’s aware of a certain casting of a certain favorite character of ours.

And of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!
