1903. Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Queen Skithra, Dorothy Skerritt find a wonderful way to sideline Ryan and Graham from the basic story, but also thrill and entertain all 6 of us on the podcast tonight. The Doctor is rude to Thomas Edison, Thomas Edison is rude to Tesla, and man Skithra is extremely rude to everyone while trying to employ Tesla as her ships engineer. Next she will be asking him to beam her up and down from the ship. Another historical classic?

A typical day for the TARDIS crew.

The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe have their minds robbed as they escape the oncoming lava that swallows up the TARDIS by using a big button that when pushed takes them nowhere. Shelby and Michael might be hypnotized by Medusa's stare and the dizzying robot mind melding devices, but we get through all 5 episodes unscathed. Maybe Gulliver will hook up with Rapunzel after the computer folds.

The Doctor, Rose, Capt. Jack, Mickey, Jackie, Lynda, Roderick, and Anne Droid all return to face their own fate, or create it for the epic finale to Series 1. We discuss Christopher Eccleston's Swan Song as Kelsey tries to figure out what Bad Wolf is all about. The Daleks are led by an egotistical "God," much like the TARDIS and Rose turns into a God-like creature to rid the universe of these dust bins. Even Jackie gets into the action by bringing over a huge truck from her previous boyfriend! Enjoy.

Captain Jack gets a makeover, The Doctor sits in Big Brother's big red chair, and Rose plays against Roderick in the Weakest Link! The problem is that it doesn't end well for those who lose their game, their vote, or even their head! As the TARDIS crew try to escape their deadly traps, the Controller(not the BBC controller) tries to get a message to the Doctor before being zapped across time and space and exterminated. We rate the penultimate episode of Series 1.

Colin and Michael dive head first into the dark abyss known as Torchwood. We discuss the first episode introducing us to characters Gwen Cooper, Ianto Jones, Owen Harper, and reintroducing Captain Jack Harkness and Dr. Toshika Sato(both from Doctor Who). Will we be hiding behind the sofa on this more adult version of Doctor Who? And what is a Weevil anyway?!

Blink once and you are scared. Blink twice and you have Colin, Kelsey, and finally Shelby able to weigh in before they are sent hurtling back in time to live a very different life. Life is short and you all are hot, but we decide to discuss Billy Shipton's plight, Cathy Nightengale's fate, and the famous Sally Sparrow's unique interest in breaking into Wester Drumlins (a haunted house). But wait, where is the Doctor and Martha in this story?
