Episode 54: The Ark in Space

Doctor Who: the World Enough and Time podcast

Hellooooooo! (as an Earth high minister might say to the survivors of an apocalypse). This month Andy & Alex are sat back on tranquiller couches taking condign action as they marvel at the glory that is The Ark in Space. As well as uncovering information that is new to them, such as the fact that Vira was originally meant to be a POC and Nerva's menfolk were intended to be in short shorts, they take a nostalgic sojourn through moments from a story they have known and loved for the past 30 plus years. Andy traces his 90's chauvinism to the phrase 'Good girl Sarah!', while Alex just loves Harry's talk of 'Pompey barracks'. As she sagely declares: 'Every line is part of who we've become.' Other topics of discussion include both Vira's trolley and her medkit, the colour flashes on the Nerva trousersuits, Wirrn pubes, that infamous missing scene, and the perfect storm that is this TARDIS team. Elsewhere, Lou is decoupaging everything in sight, the quiz involves working titles, Alex is watching Bones, and Andy wants 3 hours of his life back for watching half of The Rig. No. Do not move. It is dangerous to move from the tranquiller couch. Next Time: Earthshock
