First Time Lord Daniel Levain

This episode is one of those that tends to define the series. It perfectly captures everything that I love about Doctor Who while telling an impressive and compelling story—using science fiction to explore the human condition and try and help us see the value that we all have in the world at large.

Series 5, Episode 10, Vincent and the Doctor

Helping me navigate an emotionally fraught episode is the equally excellent Jenni Fay and Ashley Martin.

A Doctor's journey to the center of the earth to try and prevent a terrible war. The discovery that, like humans, not all the lizard people are evil. But when you thought you knew where things were going, there's a crack in time and space, and things get interesting.

Series 5 - Episode 9 - Cold Blood

The amazing Eric Sweetman is returning from last week to help me wrap up this crazy episode.

While I may be still catching up to all of the Doctor’s adventures, the Doctor’s timeline finally caught up to mine for the first time. An episode set on my current year, or close enough to it. Of course, I can count on that nothing is as it seems.

Series 5 - Episode 8 - The Hungry Earth.

I need someone who can help me break this episode down and distill its purest essence, and that expert is none other than the amazingly talented Eric Sweetman.

Quite a mind-bending episode this turned out to be. It had me so perplexed that I’m thrilled I had an expert join me that not only knows what they are talking about but requested the episode. Otherwise, I would have come away from this episode with the completely wrong idea.

Series 5 - Episode 7 - Amy’s Choice.

The expert that set me straight in this week’s podcast is none other than the great Jon Soble.

I thought I was going to get a gothic Vampire Doctor Who stories based on the episode's title. As always, I was delighted to find out how wrong I was. I'm also glad that Amy is not going down the path I thought she was going down after last week.

Series 5 - Episode 6 - The Vampires of Venice

Ashley Martin joins me to get me through this episode and deliver her Tardis Tidbits in person this week.

The latest confrontation between the Doctor and the Weeping Angles leaves me questioning my allegiance to certain characters. When I thought I knew what to expect, the Doctor, his companion, and even River Song went and made me have to think things over.

Series 5 - Episode 5 - Flesh and Stone

Rejoining me to wrap up this Angel story is Jenni Fay Berry.
