Funny old summer for me. Made redundant, job hunting, LinkedIn, CVs, interviews, eventually got a new job. After all that, and a holiday, I'm finally ready to get back on the podcast train, so here's one we recorded much earlier, back in April, that's finally made it through the editing suite.

This is one of your finest opening sketches, Chaps 😀. Like Giles, I watched Web of Fear to get into full Camfield mode, followed by DMP 1-3. Paul’s appreciation of the short lived chemistry between Doc 1 and Katarina was good to hear. Fancy being known as a “Dalek expert” though 🙄😂

It's easy to mock, but photos show that they made a decent job of making a giant crab. Arguably realised more successfully than a similar creature 20 years later in Paradise Towers.

In a great idea for a podcast, @themindrobber encourages us to think about what interests us about some shortly to be revealed missing episodes and discuss what we're looking forward to seeing, with the option to review our expectations in a couple of weeks when we've actually seen the episodes.
