Episode 110: Murder on the Kill-All-Humans Express (The Robots of Death)

This episode, we’re off to a sandminer on a distant planet where a psychopath who believes is a robot is systematically killing off his colleagues (Agatha Christie-style) in order to create a robot revolution. Sounds convoluted, but it’s actually really good – it’s The Robots of Death!

 

Join us as we discuss Chris Boucher’s amazing world building (again), complex interpersonal relations, the continued love for Leela, the hilarious character names (Chubb lol), which characters are sleeping with which (because, let’s be honest, this lot are stuck together for months on end, you know it’s happening…), and whether this is the best Doctor Who serial that we’ve seen so far…
