Wherein Nick and Luke cynically set out the rules for the cynical drinking game, which are as follows.
1) 1 drink every time after the first instance that the Doctor or Companion theme plays in an episode.
2) 2 drinks for every plot point introduced in an episode which is not resolved that season.
3) 1 drink for every out of place comedy or horror moment.
4) 1 drink for any character trait which is introduced for plot convenience.
5) 1 drink for every disconnect between the CG and practical effects.
6) 1 drink for every out-of-place 21st century earth reference.
7) 1 drink for every time in an episode that the writer rips himself off from an earlier episode.
8) 2 drinks for every gratuitous appearance of an old alien.
9) 1 drink for any overly obvious Classic Who reference.
10) 1 drink for any character which exists solely as a plot point.
11) Down if the day is saved by love.
12) 1 drink every time The Doctor doesn’t understand humans.
13) 1 drink for every stupid use of the Sonic Screwdriver.
ii) 3 drinks if this saves the day.
14) 2 drinks if a character exists solely for an easy gut punch when they die.
