Hoist your moonrakers and splice the mainbrace! It's Enlightenment. Now, Andy and Alex love the bones of Doctor Who, really they do, but Enlightenment sorely tests them. The things they struggle with are many and varied: the pantomime nature of its villains; the lack of conviction of most of the actors; the Doctor's constant bullying and gaslighting of Tegan; the bizarre amount of attention afforded to tiny unimportant details; Marriner being rapey; Striker being deliberately boring; the dullness of the race. The list is pretty endless...
But, fear not, as ever, the opportunity to talk about Doctor Who brings the pair much joy and laughter. Listen along as they: rail against a ChatGPT Tegan-themed quiz that believes her exit line is linked to the Falklands War; debate if Nigel Havers was 'never out of a naval uniform'; fail to remember Roy's surname in Eastenders; and discuss how one always 'sleep dead uncomfortable in a fake bed.'
Finally, don't fall for the revival of the bamboo furniture craze and, if you were still in any doubt, the Vacuum Shield is most definitely OFF.
Next Time: Terror of the Zygons

Andy and Alex celebrate the very first Doctor Who anniversary special and as usual pose many burning questions: What would Omega wear during lockdown? What is an alternative name for a horse blanket? And Where does Jon Pertwee end and the Third Doctor begin?
While Andy notes just how much of the story Terrance of Dicks nicked for The Five Doctors, Alex is thrilled to see black goose neck taps in the UNIT lab. She also leaves Andy no choice but to join the Gellguard Defence League. Join today!
Elsewhere there's Michael Aspel, C&A, Littlewoods and a touch of Osmonds-mania. All life is here!
