Episode 147: Emotionally Unavailable TARDIS Crew (The Visitation)

After the last episode where we all let out many exasperated sighs, the Watchers now let out a great sigh of relief as we discuss The Visitation!! We have finally gotten the companion interaction we deserve, even with Adric remaining a complete waste of carbon.

 

Join us as we discuss our return back to basics: a simple, grounded story, check. An alien race set to take over Earth, check. And an android, though we’ve never had one so bedazzled before, check. We also get one of the best supporting characters to grace the small screen in a long time, our man Richard Mace!

Also, dear listeners, please send us your t-shirt designs so that we too can live in flesh time and I want to talk about chairs paraphernalia.

 

If you would like to watch along with us, you can find this story 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 also find on the Doctor Who Season 19 Blu Ray box set from Amazon US (https://amzn.to/3UH4sFG) and Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/45IrXTS)
