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 are finally back reviewing classic Doctor Who. They love Who so much but the Troughton tale The Wheel in Space certainly tests their patience with its convoluted plot, questionable ethnic characters and pacing. However, they still find a lot to enjoy here and, as ever laugh a great deal about topics as diverse as ping pong, unbridled fury at Kit Pedler, Jamie's overreaction to fruit salad, and the fiendish nature of Nigel Robinson's quiz books.
Yes it's an all new series of World Enough and Time: the classic Doctor Who podcast that unites Andy and Alex despite the world that exists between them!
