The gang arrive in Saxon Northumbria in 1066 on the eve of the Viking and Norman invasions. A mysterious monk is at work in the nearby monastery, intending that history takes a different course.

Monk’s just want to have fun! Sarah is a bit confused as this baddie in a hoodie seems to be altruistic, wanting to make life easier for Europeans in the measly middle ages. The Doctor doesn’t want this - does that make him pro Brexit??

This funny monk makes a lovely breakfast for his prisoner, enjoys a good Gregorian chant and Sarah tries to ship him and the Doctor. Why can’t we be friends? And stowaway Steven gets an upgrade to companion, despite not believing a word the Doctor says.

We talk about how the Doctor has infinite capacity for empathy when talking about whole races of people, but individuals seem to basically annoy him. And then we laugh about beating off the vikings and their very big helmets. It’s a show of two halves!

Firsts: we see that history is changeable despite what the Doctor told Barbara, Steven Taylor is an official companion, we see another TARDIS, first appearance of the Meddling Monk, first visit to historic Britain

The Daleks are equipped with their own time machine, are on the trail of the Doctor with orders to exterminate him and the crew. They go planet-hopping in the TARDIS to escape them.

It’s the Wacky Races in space!

Sarah was so excited for a Dalek story and is very disappointed. Ian and Barbara assume the role of parents again as the Doctor and Vicki run riot through a dead planet (classic), a jungle planet (another classic), 1960s New York, a terrifying ship, and a ridiculous Hammer Horror haunted house.

David tried to convince Sarah this grab bag of assorted nonsense is joyful and (sometimes) intentionally funny, but his even his boundless goodwill is stretched by the appearance of the mecho-Doctor.

We’re sorry to see Barbara and Ian go, but let’s slide down this massive building and get the heck out of here!

Firsts: all the original line-up have changed, first on screen moment for new companion Steven Taylor, first non-TARDIS time machine, and the first confirmation that the TARDIS is blue!

The TARDIS jumps a time track and the crew arrive on the planet Xeros. There they discover their own future selves displayed as exhibits in a museum and go up against the warlike Morok invaders to save themselves and the native Xerons.

We’ve jumped a time track and we’re locked in The Space Museum by mistake!

Join us in our very own lost episode as we gaze at the strange exhibits and learn absolutely nothing. In fact, this museum may actually make you stupider. And your knitwear will be trashed!

Sarah appraises the TARDIS furniture, gets excited about a Dalek cameo, and grumbles about the passive nature of the complicated timey-wimey plot. David gets spooked by the sinister doppelgangers and funny eyebrows. We both cheer on Vicki and her rebellion. Boys will literally overthrow an evil empire just to impress a girl.

Don’t look at the Trip Advisor reviews!

Firsts: (weirdly) time travel as a plot line, first screen appearance of Jemery Bulloch who goes on to play a pivotal role in Star Wars.
