"The earth is hungry. It waits to eat. I can see them. They are the appetite beneath the ground."

Mark Strickson now regrets snacking on Daz before shooting his key scenes in the 1984 comedy-woodlice fest, Frontios.

And these unrealistic bugs are not the only threat to our bespectacled cricketer, rabid schoolboy and Australian android PA from the Ministry of Silly Walks. No, there's a meagre monarch, his gruff 'no man', an oaken Orderly and his whiskery chum from the Village People.

But help is at hand in the form of Mr Raaaaaange (science officer and prophet of doom), his comely daughter and, inadvertently, the chief snot-encrusted Tractator - a creature with a nose for a nonsensical plan.

But how offensive is a chicken* vol-au-vent (*other fillings are available)? More or less than an exploding hat-stand? And what is the colony leader doing in Joe 90's egg whisk?

Jim and Martin struggle to answer these questions, while trying not to come to blows over the usage of fingers and tools.

Listen here for the whole sorry saga.

Anniversaries. They say that after awhile, they're just another day. And here at The Oncoming Storm, we couldn't agree more. That's why in episode 150, Josh, Ashley, Rachel, and Jeff waste no time on marking the number of episodes. No one got time for that. So they spend their time instead looking at The Juggernauts by Scott Alan Woodard. Where to begin with this one? Shall we start with the Doctor? Or how about Mel and her new lease on life? Or maybe Davros? The Daleks? The Mechanoids? What, the Mechanoids? Are you serious? All of this, and a discussion of what's the better flavor of Daleks; with Davros or without? The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got soulless corporate stooges! Yeah, I know, it's not that impressive, but we already covered all the cool stuff a few lines ago!

Welcome back inside the Tardis for episode 38. Some interesting news items to go through before we jump into our first Q&A then onto our review of a Hartnell classic - The Time Meddler.

The News

5th Doctor Peter Davison celebrated his 63rd birthday on Monday 13th April. He's looking great for his age and doesn't look in his sixties at all. Happy Birthday Sir!

Disney XD in the US is to air the 10th Doctor's series 2 starting in May.

The Mirror newspaper dropped a potential huge spoiler for the two-part opener for series 9. If you don't want to hear this rumoured spoiler at the moment, mute your audio at 11:20 for about 3 minutes.

Our first Q&A

Everyone loves a Q&A, they're all the rage these days. Seeing as we get asked a lot of questions while at conventions or on social media we thought it would be good to open it up for you to send in your questions for us to answer on the show. Thank you for sending in your audio clips, YouTube clips and questions on Facebook. Enjoy.

"The Time Meddler" Review

We go way back to series 1 of the classic years and soak up the gorgeous black and white grainy adventure with the 1st Doctor, Vicki and Stuart. Does the meddling Monk, Saxons and Vikings draw us into this timey wimey story or do we run back to the beach looking for the Tardis?

Thank you for larking about in the Tardis. It's been fun answering your questions and also revisiting the Hartnell era. Next week we're reviewing Tennant's Planet of the Dead so look out for the usual posts on Facebook and Twitter to send us your thoughts. Until next time - Allons-y!

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast is BACK, and we've got the TVmouse (@theTVmouse) with us! We asked our friend Kelly to join us, and she chose the 10th Doctor classic "MIDNIGHT", one of the very best episodes of DOCTOR WHO - and definitely one of the most traumatic.

In fact, this is only the 2nd time John has seen it, as he vowed never again after the first time - THAT is how shook he was. To me, it's the scariest of all Doctor Who - mad humans and the Doctor without his "superpower", his voice. Kelly chose very wisely!

It's a fascinating episode and such a departure for the RTD era, and we have a lot of fun talking about it. Plus, of course, there's trivia!

Please take a listen, won't you?

Join us next week for our review of the first half of Doctor Who story #50, The War Games! This ten-part story is fully intact. Due to its length, we will be covering it in two parts. Sadly, we could not find this serial legally available for streaming, and the region 1 DVD is out of print and very expensive if you can even find it. You can rent the DVD from Netflix, however. DVD releases do appear to be available at reasonable prices in regions 2 and 4. We were also unable to locate a soundtrack, though an audiobook read by David Troughton is available at audible.com.

In Episode 11: Don’t Worry It’s PG Rated, the boys turn down the lights and talk about sex and Doctor Who, cuddle up with the Fourth Doctor story The Masque of Mandragora, shower Peter Davison with hypothetical birthday presents, and experiment with a brand new round called The Deadly Assassin in which Joshua and Kelvin utterly fail to defend the Tenth Doctor story Planet of the Dead from Pat’s bloodthirsty assault!
