The TV Movie was the first brand new Doctor Who I ever watched with Sue, and she never missed another episode from that point on. So it seems appropriate to finish where we started, all those years ago. We have, of course, drezzzzed for the occasion. She’s wearing her Pip and Jane T-shirt and I’m…
Sue: So what are you putting me through tonight? Me: I’m going to give you a taste of just how desperate Doctor Who fans were in 1995. Sue: A desperate Doctor Who fan. Sounds wonderful. Me: I’m going to show you a fan film. Sue: Haven’t I suffered enough? Me: The fans grew tired of…
Me: It’s 1993. Sue: A very special year. Me: Yes, it’s Doctor Who‘s 30th anniversary. Sue: It was the year you met me, you idiot. Me: Oh yes. Funnily enough, we did meet 20 years ago this month, but forget about that – this is Doctor Who‘s 30th anniversary. Sue: So what I am watching…
Part One I haven’t told Sue what we’re watching tonight, and I expect a cushion in the face when she eventually finds out. Sue: So what are we watching this week? Tom Baker enters the Museum of the Moving Image Doctor Who exhibit circa 1992. Sue: Are we watching a Blue Peter special? Tom begins…

Part One For the last time – and for one episode only – we are joined by Nicol and Sue’s brother, Gary. Sue: Survival. That’s a funny title considering it’s the last one. Nicol: Did they know it was the last one when they were making it? Me: They suspected as much. The programme was…
Choosing which version of The Curse of Fenric to show to Sue was trickier than I thought. The results of our poll was split right down the middle, with 51% of you saying we should stick with the broadcast version, while 49% of you wanted us to watch the Special Edition. You know, the one…
Part One In a Victorian house, Mrs Pritchard is serving dinner with a copy of The Times. Sue: This has a new series feel to it. It’s scary and a bit weird. Weird it may be, but Gabriel Chase does have its advantages. Sue: Look at all that lovely panelling. Where did they film this?…
Part One Sue: This had better be good. Me: What are you going to do if it isn’t? You can’t give up now. Sue: Wanna bet? I could still do a Scanapanasky. Me: Schapansky. Sue: Whatever. I’m just saying. Once Sue has gotten over the fact that the theme music isn’t in 5.1 surround sound,…
