Andy and Alex are still together in Auckland so in a 'High Cockalorum' mood. Will 1983's Frontios prove to be downer?

After sharing their new Myers-Briggs types and a story titles quiz that quite frankly stumps them, the pair get into it. They find much to enjoy here, especially Janet's pleather mini and the opening TARDIS scene, but it's not long before gender inequality, script and direction and a sudden obsession with the non-interference of Timelords start to colour their view.

They have lots of important questions too...- Is the Doctor's relationship with Tegan abusive?- Why is the story so intent on portraying Turlough's bravery?- And why is there exposed soil in every single room on Frontios?

And some less important ones...- How much soil did Tegan get in her knickers when being dragged along?- How did the guy playing Cockerill get cast?- And who the hell is the woman who shouts 'Mr Range'?

Who is she? Who is she? Where did you find her?!

All this and so much more in your fabulous fun-filled frolicsome February World Enough and Time!
