Episode 114: Is the Enormous Prawn Horny? (The Invisible Enemy)

We (finally) say hello to the legendary robotic pooch known as K9, while we also take on a giant, aggressively randy space prawn virus (yes, seriously!) which just wants to infect everyone and then BREED in The Invisible Enemy. We’ve been crying out for the weird lately… but not like this!

 

Join us as we discuss cheap (but actually surprisingly good) sets, the disrespect that Leela receives, the good and the bad of the model work, questionable costume choices, the continued gag of Gallifrey being in Ireland, disappointing medical doctors, and the confusion of K9 being introduced with Leela and not Sarah Jane Smith!
