The Christmas Special that very nearly wasn't! After losing most of our first recording of this episode - ironic given the episode we were reviewing is the most missing Doctor Who episode of them all - we proceeded undaunted and re-recorded our thoughts on this the first Doctor Who Christmas Special: episode 7 of The Daleks' Master Plan - The Feast of Steven.

Along the way - thanks to the Time-Space Visualiser - we play some Christmas tunes, consider the Christmas of 1965, try out our Scouse accents, rail against everyday Sixties sexism and racism, and ultimately decide that we would like to spend our Christmas with a Dalek rather than the non-Z Cars policeman or the Hollywood crazies the regulars meet in this episode.

Incidentally, a Happy Christmas to all of you at home - very much at home this year. May you have comfort, joy, green Fanny Cradock mashed potatoes, and as much Terry's Chocolate Orange as you want.

Music from: The Waitresses, Kim Appleby and The Go Go's (not those ones).

We highly recommend Gavin Rymill's excellent video on the behind-the-scenes story of The Feast of Steven: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD3JyJvjr8A

We will return on New Year's Day with... Warriors of the Deep (gasp!)
