Sue: Yay! Robert Holmes is back. Thank heavens for that.
The Doctor wants to know who’s been tampering with the Matrix.
Sue: It’s him! The Valeyard bloke. It’s obvious.
Two capsules arrive on the Time Lords’ space station. One of them contains Sabalom Glitz…
Sue: Excellent.
The other contains Melanie Bush.
Sue: Is his mate dead? I liked him. I don’t understand this. How did they get here? ...

A visibly upset Doctor prepares to mount his defence.
Sue: I can’t believe they killed Peri. The bastards.
The Doctor: My excursion will be into the future.
Sue: I thought the last one was set in the future? It didn’t look very historical to me.
She doesn’t get it. Not yet.
The Doctor’s evidence revolves around the intergalactic liner Hyperion III…
Sue: That’s a very nice ...

Continuity Announcer: Sue is watching Doctor Who from the very beginning, and after 142 stories, she thinks she’s come out of it rather well. But it isn’t over yet, because her husband Neil has just cued up the next installment, and this one involves an old enemy of the Doctor. No, not that one.
Sue: They should do ...

Before we begin the longest story in Doctor Who’s history, I have a confession to make…
Sue: Is this Colin’s last story or not?
Me: Yes, it is. But…
Sue: But what?
Me: It’s 14 episodes long.
Crash zoom on Sue’s face.
Sue: HOW MANY EPISODES?!
Me: Calm down, calm down. It’s not so bad. The episodes are only 25-minutes long again.
Sue: I don’t care how bloody long they are, how am I supposed to remember what happens ...

Sue couldn’t wait to see this story. The combination of Graeme Harper and the Daleks was just too much for her to resist and she was dying for it. Unfortunately, we had to postpone the experiment for a couple of days because I had a temporary threshold shift. If you’ve never been unfortunate/stupid enough to experience this yourself, it’s basically a muffled, ringing ...

Sue: Glen McCoy. Any relation to Sylvester?
Me: No. He wrote two episodes of Angels – which were seminal – but he’s probably best known for his crisps.
Sue: Really?
Me: No.
We haven’t made it past the titles yet and I’m bored already. Sorry.
Timelash begins on the TARDIS…
Sue: I don’t believe it. Peri is wearing something sensible for a change.
The Doctor and Peri are bickering about where to ...

I wanted Nicol to watch at least one Colin Baker episode with us and The Two Doctors seemed like the safest bet. It’s a story about vegetarianism (Nicol has been meat-free for the last year) and it’s set in an exotic location (she likes Spain). And if she didn’t agree to watch it with us, I’d delete this week’s episode of Homeland from the PVR.
I cue up the DVD’s Episode Selection screen…
Sue: It’s three episodes. But that ...

Before we tackled The Mark of the Rani, there were some surprises in store for us in the jungle. The first shock came on Friday night when it became clear that Colin Baker couldn’t wait to leave. The second shock arrived on Saturday when Sue saw Colin topless for the first – and hopefully last – time (“He ...

Even though he failed to endure Night of the Mini-Macra, and he dances like a Pussycat Doll with a urinary tract infection, Colin Baker has still captured Sue’s heart.
Sue: He hasn’t put a foot wrong. It’s a pity he was too fat to enter that sewer, which is ironic when you think about it, but no one would have voted for him to go in anyway, ...
