I select ‘Play All’ on the DVD. It’s how I get my kicks these days.
The story begins with a murder.
Sue: Blimey, this one isn’t messing around, is it? Straight in with a death; no pissing about. The editing isn’t very good, though. The gurgling noise doesn’t match the victim’s lips. Not a good start.
Meanwhile, Sarah Sutton is fast asleep…
Sue: Eh? Is Nyssa dreaming ...

Sue: I do like a good historical, especially when it’s not a recon.
Me: Sorry to disappoint you, love, but that’s not Doctor Who. If I’m not mistaken, it’s a clip from Peter Watkins’ 1964 documentary, Culloden. It’s quite clever, actually.
Sue recognises Frazer Hines immediately. Well, I say recognise.
Sue: Oh look, it’s whathisface from Emmerdale Farm! He definitely becomes ...

The fourth season of Doctor Who kicks off where the third season left off – with Polly and Ben barging their way into the TARDIS.
Sue: Ben and Polly are very modern, compared to what we’ve seen in the series before. They are almost too modern. They may as well shout “Fab and groovy, man!” at the top ...

The Gunfighters, as if you didn’t know, begins with a song.
Sue: This an interesting way to start an episode. We’ve never seen anything like this before.
Nicol: This isn’t Doctor Who. What is this?
I should tell you that my step-daughter watched this episode with us. Putting classic Doctor Who on ...

Sue: Can we watch the new Matt Smith episode again instead?
Me: No.
Sue: But I need to discuss my River Song theory with you.
Me: I’m not falling for that old chestnut. Come on, we have to crack on. Do you want to be stuck in the 1960s ...

I will be changing the format for this particular installment. Instead of writing up my notes episodically, I’m going to tackle it as a single entry. The reason for this is simple: The Myth Makers passed ...

We had to watch this episode twice.
I’d love to tell you that Sue adored it so much that we simply had to wallow in its glorious splendour again, but the sad truth is we had to re-watch the episode for an array of complicated reasons that I shall attempt to bore you with now.
First of all, our mutual friend, Simon ‘Rula’ ...

Sue: Have we skipped an episode?
Poor Sue. She simply can’t accept that yesterday’s cliffhanger could result in a luxurious timeshare holiday for four in Italy. When she learns that our heroes have lounged around in a villa for a month at least, she is taken aback by the abrupt change of pace.
Sue: ...

I decide to stun Sue with a confession. Close friends should probably look away now.
Me: I’ve never seen this one before.
Sue spits a mouthful of hot coffee all over our kitten, Tegan.
Me: It’s ...

My hope that Sue would soak up this episode in revered silence is dashed within seconds, mainly because we get embroiled in two very tedious discussions. Well, tedious to us, I guess, but as far as Sue is concerned, these are fundamental details.
Sue: Why have they decided to visit the Aztecs? I thought Ian and Barbara wanted to ...
