In this episode, we finally confront the great schism of the podcast: Ciarán and Jacob’s respective takes on the Fifth Doctor. This cathartic outburst done, we settle into giving Eric Saward some credit for once (though not for long), lamenting the wasted potential of numerous actors and, naturally, some Black Guardian impressions. Come to find out why the Davison-era TARDIS team is “peak neoliberal,” stay for us being defeated utterly by Snakedance.
[And yes, the Omega discussion was recorded well, well before ‘Wish World’/‘The Reality War;’ apparently we’re just very in tune with Russell The Davies, surprisingly.]
