#165 - Eldrad Is a Jerk
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 42 minutes and 26 secondsWe say hello to season 14 and goodbye to Sarah Jane as we talk about The Masque of Mandragora and The Hand of Fear. Ben wishes there was a monster in Masque and David recalls being inspired to research the Cult of Demnos at the library. Despite our appreciation of Stephen Thorne, Ben wishes Eldrad remained portrayed by the otherworldly Judith Paris, or possible by Lis Sladen. David questions whether the Bristol Boys' story was strong enough to support the darker themes of the story. Opening music is "Basse danse La brosse, Tripla / Tourdion" performed by the Ulsamer Collegium. Closing music is "Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me a Bow Wow", composed by Joseph Tabrar, and sung by Helen Mirren and Peter Sellers from the ill-conceived movie: "The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu". This episode was recorded 19 July 2020.

#164 - The Green Green Grass of Karn
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 37 secondsTomfest 2020 continues with our discussion of last two stories of season 13: The Brain of Morbius and The Seeds of Doom. David tries to explain why Brain never clicked for him to a disbelieving Ben, who simply adores the story! A brain in a jar, what's there not to love? The off to Antarctica and Dorchester, which are geographically speaking in Doctor Who's earth, to be about as close as the Thal and Kaled cities are from one another. Ben is startled to learn that Boyce had his own spin-off series and wonders what a Morbius and Solon spin-off from Big Finish would be like. In conclusion the two pick their top story from the season. Opening, "Molotov Cocktail", and closing music, "Amelia Ducat's Theme", is from The Seeds of Doom; both composed by Geoffery Burgon. This episode was recorded 12 July 2020.

#163 - Ginger Beer Is Delicious
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 51 minutes and 17 secondsContinuing on with our look at Tom Baker's Season 13 with a discussion of Pyramids of Mars and The Android Invasion. Ben dismisses fan-suggested back story that Sarah learned to fire a rifle on her aunt's farm and rather champions Sarah as just being a totally competent and kick ass woman who rises to the occasion. David gushes over Dudley's Simpson's score for Pyramids and praises Paddy Russell's direction and ability to bring out great performances from her leading man. Ben defends ginger beer (pop) and thinks Sarah's one weakness, aside from her ankles, is her dislike of stuff and David finds hollyhocks Devesham, a.k.a, East Hagbourne as a lovely Oxforshire village with beautiful hollyhock flowers. Opening music is from "Clement and the Mummies" composed by Dudley Simpson and arranged and performed by Heathcliff Blair. Closing music is also composed by Simpson and taken from the score to The Android Invasion. This episode was recorded 28 June 2020

#162 - The Mystic Doctor
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 26 secondsWe begin a look at season 13 with a discussion about Terror of the Zygons and Planet of Evil. Ben loves the Zygon's spaceship and fondly remembers building his own model as a kid from Lego bricks. David explains why he thinks the Zygons in their original soft and blobby form is creepier than their later toothy and muscular design. Ben touches upon the shift of received mysticism of Pertwee's Doctor to where Tom Baker's Doctor is mysticism itself. David appreciates Prentis Hancock's portrayal as Salamar and Ben remembers how he also built an oculoid tracker from his Lego bricks. We bemoan what we see as the only flaw in this season; the poor exit for Harry, the Brigadier, and UNIT. Opening music is "The Destruction of Charlie Rig" composed by Geoffery Burgon and closing music is "Nightfall on Zeta Minor" composed by Dudley Simpson and arranged and performed by Heathcliff Blair. This episode was recorded 20 June 2020.

#161 - Vagabond Tom
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 52 minutes and 31 secondsThis episode was recorded 14 June 2020 and the actual Doctor Who discussion begins 11:54 into the podcast where we talk about Tom Baker the Doctor who caught alight in the United States and opening up to his tenure in the programme. But first, leading off the podcast, Ben celebrates his team's, the Four-to-Zoomsday's, triumph in the Quiz of Rassilon. David then asks a simple question about a sporting metaphor and the two get mired the two get mired in cricket talk for a good five minutes. After that, the two discuss Churchill in light of statues coming down across the UK and the US; this part of the podcast was shunted off to the end of the podcast and begins after a musical interlude from Heathcliff Blair and begins at 34:34. (Think of it as studio floor Blu-ray extra footage.) Once that discussion runs it course, we talk about Tom Baker's tenure as the Doctor beginning 11:54 running through to the aforementioned musical interlude. All rather confusing isn't it. Oh, and we briefly mention the December 1981 interview of Tom with Mavis Nicholson which is definitely worth a watch. Anywho... we're back to season 13 next episode. Opening "Davros' Megalomania" and closing "The Doctor's Theme" music was composed by Dudley Simpson for season 12 stories and arranged and performed by Heathcliff Blair on the "Pyramids of Mars" disc.

#158 - Divergent Timelines
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 55 minutes and 32 secondsWe further our discussion of sideways stories and posit that all of Who, or at the very least, all of Who set on Earth are sideways stories that diverge from our earth's timeline.

Opening music is from Castrovalva, composed by Paddy Kingsland and closing music is from Warriors' Gate, composed by Peter Howell.

#157 - Sideways Into the Zsogsphere
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 50 secondsIn this episode, we discuss sideways Who and how this story type was not too common in the classic Who era, but has come into its own with the show's revival and is, perhaps, in its golden age under Chibnall's tenure as showrunner. Opening music is "Univers Sideral" composed by Paul Bonneau and closing music is the main title theme for the "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman" composed by Ronald Stein.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 47 minutes and 20 secondsWe land on the Galápagos Islands with the Doctor and Evelyn to review Bloodtide from Big Finish. And since this is a Silurian story, we try to cobble together a timeline of their history and are flummoxed by the inconsistencies. A story overflowing with historical characters and ideas, we wonder if Silurian Tulok's real crime was genetically engineering lady bumps on Silurian women. Opening music is "Tried" and closing music "The Cave"; both pieces composed by Alistair Lock for Bloodtide.

#155 - The TARDIS Destroys Space Opera
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 45 minutes and 7 secondsAfter a quick recap of our afternoon playing the Quiz of Rassilon with fellow teammates Greg and Jess, we discuss space opera. We explore which stories fit the genre and what does it take to make a space opera story in Doctor Who? The conventional wisdom is Doctor Who is a genre machine, so how frequently does it dip into space opera like other popular sci-fi franchises like Star Trek and Star Wars? Opening and closing music is from "The Frontier in Space," composed by the incomprable Dudley Simpson.
