It's joyful for Andy to be reunited with Alex again in their joint podcasting endeavour to watch and critique all of classic Doctor Who. The story is the Season 2 finale The Time Meddler which sees a new TARDIS crew and an unforgettable guest star in Peter Butterworth as The Meddling Monk.

But before we get to the time meddling there's a quiz on Prehistoric Monsters in Doctor Who and some Adventures in History. While the Time-Space Visualiser favours Malta's recent Eurovision entry and a 1965 classic made more familiar by sketch show Smack the Pony (although Andy forgot this while recording).

And onto the shenanigans in Northumbria... where Edith's obsession with feeding visitors doesn't go unnoticed and the glorious reveal of the Monk's TARDIS is celebrated. Despite being something of a purist Andy watched the story in colour and felt it added considerable interest to a story that had never really engaged him before. He also goes on about the Danelaw and how the Vikings were already settled in England in 1066 while Alex feels the Dressed for Success cupboard is pretty bare. All this and Babs Windsor in Crooks in Cloisters too!

Why not join us for a heck of a lot of monkery, blackberries and venison?
