In our first episode of this new decade (gosh!)Alex and Andy adventurously start to explore the world of missing Doctor Who, beginning with the 1965 Hartnell historical The Myth Makers. Along the way they consider tragicomedy, Shakespearean overtones, Vicki's exit, artifice, horse fetlocks, and why Bill Hartnell was in such a bad mood throughout! And - newsflash - they actually work the latter out. And it has nothing to do with Max Adrian being gay or Jewish, so there!

Andy is a self-confessed 'Myth Makers nut', while Alex struggles to feel the story is hers, but they both agree that there's a great deal of fun to be had in this missing chapter of early Who.

As well as their review of The Myth Makers they are also visited by the Cailleach, play the 'Jack or Jill' quiz and worry whether the new BBC adaptation of His Dark Materials will pronounce Mrs Coulter's name correctly.

Happy New Year and happy new Jodie Who day!

We love you all,

Andy and Alex xxx
