Episode 101: Geometrically Swole (Pyramids of Mars)

This episode, we’re tackling a fan favourite. Coming in at the 7^th best Doctor Who serial of all time in Doctor Who Magazine’s 2009 Mighty 200 Poll and at 8^th in their 2013 50^th Anniversary Poll, it’s safe to say that Pyramids of Mars has an excellent reputation… but will the Watchers agree?

 

Along the way, Anthony talks of childhood head-canon, Julie gets increasingly concerned with the number of shoulder-rubs-of-death™, Don admires Marcus’ cheekbones, and Reilly gets excited about the return of the country yokel trope. The entire team try to figure out how a female character could potentially fit into the story.
