   S2E5 The Resurrection of the Daleks

   The usual podcast hosts are overtaken by Day-lek Cloning Technology, as the classic story Resurrection of the Daleks is discussed. Resurrection of the Daleks is a serial from the British television series Doctor Who, featuring the Fifth Doctor, played by Peter Davison. It originally aired in two parts in 1984 and marks a dark turning point for the Doctor as he confronts both his arch-enemies, the Daleks, and the brutal realities of their war against humanity. In the story, the Doctor and his companions, Tegan and Turlough, arrive in a derelict warehouse in London, only to find themselves caught in a violent struggle between human soldiers and Daleks. The Daleks, in their typical ruthless fashion, have devised a plan to break out their creator, Davros, from a high-security prison ship where he's been held in a suspended state for years. They hope he can devise a cure for a deadly virus that has been killing them. Meanwhile, the Daleks plot to clone the Doctor and his companions to infiltrate and destroy the Time Lord High Council. The Doctor, aided by a group of surviving humans, makes his way to the Dalek-controlled ship to stop Davros and foil the Daleks' schemes. The story takes a grim turn when Davros decides to overthrow the Daleks themselves and seize control. In the end, the Doctor is forced to confront the dark side of his own character, grappling with the notion of whether he should kill Davros to stop the atrocities. Tegan, disturbed by the violence and disillusioned by the constant danger, ultimately decides to leave the TARDIS, parting ways with the Doctor in a somber farewell. "Resurrection of the Daleks" is notable for its high level of violence and intense themes, and it leaves a lasting impact on the Doctor and his companions.

   S2E3 The Creature From the Birthday Pit

   It's my birthday week!!! I thought it might be an interesting show to find a story of Doctor Who Classic that had any episodes being originally broadcasted on November 3rd. Turns out there's ONLY ONE! Season 17's classic story, "The Creature From The Pit"! Season 17 turned out to be a special season for quite a few reasons: - 17 was Graeme William’s last year as Producer - 17 was also Douglas Adam’s last year as script editor - 17 was the final season of incidental music by Dudley Simpson - 17 was the final season of Tom Baker’s amazing tunnel intro sequence - 17 was the first season of Lalla Ward playing Romana II - 17 had David Brierly voicing K9 instead of John Leeson The Creature From The Pit also had a few "milestones": - The first produced story featuring Lalla Ward as Romana II (though not the first story broadcast) - The last story directed by Christopher Barry who had directed various Doctor Who stories as far back as William Hartnell's era I am flying solo in this episode of the podcast, as Collin is busy moving residences and saving his company from certain disaster.
