Jonathan and Rob have watched 'Dark Season', Russell T Davies' 1990s sci-fi drama for children, and ponder the important questions: Was it a backdoor Doctor Who story? Was Marcie Hatter a secret incarnation of the Doctor? Can you tell someone your name without giving away part of your soul? Should you always carry a paddle? And what in the name of sanity does Jacqueline Pierce have on her head? And we enjoyed every minute of it!
