Another season in the can! Season 18 done and dusted, and you know what that means… it’s time for our customary season retrospective, in which we take a look back at the entirety of the season with our blend of awards, metrics, and questions from our friends on social media. These are always a lot of fun for us to do, and we really hope that you enjoy listening to this as much as we did recording it!
Join us as we discuss how one of the new companions gets the best entrance ever through involuntary manslaughter, Romana’s best (and worst) costumes, the Adric haters’ club, Tegan’s absolutely magnificent way of bursting onto the scene in Logopolis, the general incompetence of our heroes in killing vampires, and how this season creates one absolutely epic piece of fanwank. Of course, we also decide who gets the Dougie and who gets the Dickie, which is never a dull moment!
If you would like to watch along with us, you can find the entirety of this season available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB). If you’re a little old fashioned and prefer physical media (like our very own Anthony), you can find the entirety of Season 18 on Blu Ray from Amazon US (https://amzn.to/4fvAcqb) and Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/4etoACE)
