We open this episode after hours episode of Tardis Interruptus with talk of another show about space and time…

Christina and Nick start off with talk of Star Trek and Con-goers and the various levels of fandom. They talk of the difference between appreciating and dressing up and going totally off the deep end.

Back from the break, Nick talks about Day o’ The Darleks and more about Jon Pertwee’s years. Christina mentions some notes in Elisabeth Sladen’s autobiography. Nick talks about the dinosaurs in Invasion of The Dinosaurs and other stories, including Planet of the Spiders.

Nick mentions Pertwee’s regeneration scene, which leads he and Richard to discuss who had the most moving exit. Nick discusses what he considers to be “The Golden Years” of Doctor Who. Christina appreciates that Lis didn’t bank on the show lasting forever.

Nick talks about the relationship between Sarah Jane and the Third and Fourth Doctors. He and Richard discuss longevity in Doctors versus companions. They note several entrances and exits of companions over the decades.

In an unrelated conclusion, Nick recites an ode to his linen-lined Xanadu and the importance of naps.

Welcome, Time Lords and Ladies!

Nick has assigned us the homework of The Caves of Androzani, which was recently re-released with new extras. He and Richard give us the rundown of the advent of Peter Davison’s tenure, and how he came to inhabit the TARDIS. He explains the overlap in companions, this time being Tegan and Adric. The pair discuss the device of having multiple companions and plot entanglements with props. The gang muses on what makes Peter Davison special as a Doctor. Christina’s theory is his screen versus theatrical method of acting.

Back from the break, Nick gives us a synopsis of Caves of Androzani. The Doctor sacrifices himself for the life of Perri, and they take a moment to list of regeneration causes thus far. The professors speak to the solid Davison stories, having very few complaints. Each takes a moment to talk about the 180 turnaround between Five and Six and how they treat companions. The 5th Doctor had his share of varied sets and monsters and the guys mention some of their favorites. Christina really enjoyed Black Orchid because of the use of the earthbound time travel story about human monsters. Going from the good to the bad, they touch on the villains that Davison’s Doctor has faced.
