Episode 80: Doctor Who and the Other Two (The Three Doctors)

We’re kicking off Season 10 of Doctor Who in style as our two past stars of the show, Patrick Troughton and William Hartnell, team up with Jon Pertwee’s Third Doctor to defeat a truly galactic threat in The Three Doctors! Join us as we talk about this truly special union, the impact it has on our current cast, and whether or not the Brigadier goes a bit bonkers as a result of this serial…

 

Over the course of the episode, Don ponders whether this serial was sponsored by Clearasil, Reilly re-envisions the fight between the Doctor and Omega as a WWE smackdown-type event, Anthony talks about the fan theory of Season 6B, and Julie finds herself appalled at the prospect of a romantic liaison between her beloved Jamie and Jo. The entire crew discusses whether the Brigadier and Sergeant Benton now count as full-blown companions after travelling in the TARDIS this serial.
