Lazy Doctor Who

Steven and Erika finish off the Canada Day marathon with Canada chat, follow-up, food talk, and eventually, discussion of this Doctor Who episode. <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Erika and Steven continue the Canada Day celebration with great praise for Lis Sladen, as is right and proper. <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Steven and Erika continue the Canada Day marathon with more Zygons and our pal the Skarasen! <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Erika and Steven are back with the usual Canada Day celebration. Happy Canada Day! Hope you like fleshy protrusions! <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Steven and Erika re-review the other recently returned episode and pine for more. <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Erika and Steven revisit an episode we first reviewed in 2016! Why? Because it’s no longer merely a reconstruction! Two episodes of “The Daleks’ Master Plan” were recently recovered, thanks to the good work of Film Is Fabulous. We’ve made good on our promise to return and re-cover recovered episodes, and “The Nightmare Begins” is the first of the two. <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Steven and Erika finish off “Revenge of the Cybermen” — and Season 12 of Doctor Who! And no need to email us — immediately after recording, Steven discovered the “heartbeat” music cue was Peter Howell, not Carey Blyton. Erika regrets her incorrect guess! (Ok not really. No actual regrets. Everyone is wrong sometimes!) <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Erika and Steven discuss what makes a good Cybermen story, and whether this is that. <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Steven and Erika issue corrections, then talk about direction, music, and other assorted nonsense. <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Erika and Steven (finally) dive into the first Cybermen story they’ve covered in ages! <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Steven and Erika conclude a very good, but very dark story. <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Erika and Steven talk about Davros, mostly. With good reason! <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Steven and Erika talk about Nazis. I mean Daleks. No, I mean Nazis. But yeah, also Daleks. <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Erika and Steven reach the mid-point of the last 6-parter structured like this one. Turns out there’s a lot to talk about here in the middle! <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Steven and Erika brave the smoke and heat of Edmonton to bring you discussion of the bunkers and domes of Skaro! <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Erika and Steven wrap up the Canada Day extravaganza by dipping their toes into “Genesis of the Daleks” — will Erika love it? like it? hate it? Nobody knows yet, not even Erika! <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Steven and Erika finish off a rare (for this era) two-part story as the Canada Day fun continues! <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Erika and Steven wax poetic about OB video and Sarah Jane Smith, as the Canada Day marathon continues. And Erika shares a partial list of favourite Doctor Who stories over the years. The stories on that list might surprise you! <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Steven and Erika conclude “The Ark in Space” and complain about fireworks timing — another Canada Day tradition! <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>

Erika and Steven natter on about problem-solving and TV-pacing, with a long tangent about food in Edmonton — so it’s basically what you’d expect on Canada Day! <p>Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.</p>
