Steven and Erika get back to Doctor Who with a story they’ve both seen several times (including quite recently). This doesn’t faze them a bit, as they both still very much enjoy it.
Erika just wishes she had remembered to mention the groovy wallpaper in Astrid’s bungalow.

…or should we say “THE ICE WARRIORS ONE” to match the opening credits?
We should definitely say Happy Canada Day! As per tradition, Steven and Erika spend part of their national holiday watching this show (created by a Canadian!) and podcasting about it.
There’s an awful lot to say about this episode! From incidental music to Victoria headcanon to a surprising amount of talk about Mark Gatiss’ stories, but there’s still time to squeeze in the official Canada Day-Doctor Who theme song!
