Thought Journey's End was the crossover for all time? Think again! On this special bonus episode, I was delighted to be joined by Sam and Alasdair from our fellow queer Doctor Who podcast, the wonderful Wholala! And quite frankly... it's About Time. We are celebrating 61 years of our favourite show by discussing anniversary episodes both past and future!

"It's only true Dalek DNA if it comes from the Dalek region of Skaro. Otherwise it's just sparkling fascism." This week we watched Victory of the Daleks, and discussed their controversial redesign, as well as an all-important biscuit chat.

Ben did not enjoy the previous series of SJA, so I promised not to force him to watch any more of it.
However, the completist in me felt weird about not covering the remaining seasons, so this week I'm discussing Series 3 with self-proclaimed SJA stan Ryan!
