A Mild Curiosity in a Junkyard

It’s the planet Necros this time, to visit the recently deceased Arthur Stengos. Only, he’s not as dead as he should be. Could the Great Healer help? It’s not looking good…

It’s a trip to the planet Karfel today, where apparently the Doctor has been before. Never mind the Morlocks, here’s the Borad!

This time we get to go to Spain and we have not one but *two* Doctors! Plus, Sontarans, cannibals and moth collecting. All this, plus Jamie’s back too!

It’s time for an historical adventure, but of course it can’t *just* be about history, can it? The Rani makes her presence known, but the Master has to get in on the action too.

Oh no! The TARDIS has broken down! Luckily, it had the good grace to do so near the very planet with the mineral it needs! Join us in the punishment dome for some very unsavoury reality TV…

It’s Season 22, our 150th episode and thankfully the Doctor’s calmed down since the last story. Just as well, as he has to deal with Cybermen, Cryons and the return of Lytton.

It’s a new Doctor again already, though he is…well, all over the place in this story. Poor Peri, she doesn’t know what’s going on, and that’s before the giant slugs arrive…

So, this is it, the end of the 5th Doctor’s era already, but what a story to go out on! It’s grim, there’s androids, and the body count is high. It really does feel different this time…

We’re nearing the end of the 5th Doctor’s era, so why not take a trip to Lanzarote? And the planet Sarn, where that old rascal the Master is up to mischief again. Another companion departs, but one also joins on the…Planet of Fire!

So, we’ve hurtled down the time corridor and ended up…on Earth in 1984. Who can we trust? Especially with Daleks about. And it’s a sad farewell to Tegan, for now at least.

We’re travelling to the far future in this episode, to the planet of Frontios, where some of the last humans are trying to survive. Trouble is, people keep getting sucked into the ground! That can’t be good!

This time we’re paying a visit to Tegan’s grandfather, who lives in a nice, quiet English village. Surely nothing bad could happen there? Well, there’s the Civil War re-enacters getting a bit *too* into their role. Oh, and a big face in a wall.

We’re onto the Fifth Doctor’s last season already! This time we venture to 2084 when the people of Earth seem to be set on destroying themselves again. With a little help from the Silurians, Sea Devils and…the Myrka!

It’s anniversary time! Not ours, but the show’s. Its 20th, to be precise! So, there are a plethora of Doctors, companions and enemies as we head to the Death Zone…on Gallifrey!

This time we head back to 1215 to meet King John and his champion, Sir Giles Estram. Of course, it’s the Master and as the Doctor notes, his plan is “small time villainy by his standards.” He’s not wrong.

It’s the final part of the Black Guardian trilogy and this time it’s all about the race! But we’re not on Earth, we’re on a ship, a *space* ship. Who will receive…Enlightenment?

So, the suspicious Turlough has joined the TARDIS crew and immediately strands them on a spaceship. Not only that, but a leper ship! And as he’s joined, we have to say goodbye to Nyssa…

An old friend and an old foe return in this episode, as both the Brigadier and the Black Guardian reappear. Plus there’s a mutated alien and a schoolboy trying to kill the Doctor. It’s all happening!

Oh dear, the Mara’s back, and that’s not good news for Tegan. We travel this time to Manussa, where the darkness from the places of the inside manifests itself once more. Let’s (snake) dance!

It’s the start of the 20th anniversary season, and we head back to Gallifrey where an old enemy is trying to get back into our universe. The commander of the guards looks a little familiar too…

What better way to mourn Adric’s death wiping out the dinosaurs than by taking a trip to prehistoric Earth! Sweet irony! How is the mysterious Kalid involved, and who is he? The answer will shock you! (Because of how ridiculous it is).

Well, we’ve reached *that* story now. Yep, the one with the silent credits at the end of part 4. We both knew it was coming, and here it is. At least we know what wiped out the dinosaurs.

It’s back to the 1920s for this episode, as we get involved in a murder mystery at a country house. Adric eats, Tegan dances, and Nyssa has a double. And obviously the Doctor gets accused of the crime.

Back to Earth again for this episode, and it’s the 17th century this time. Our intrepid crew meet an out of work actor and encounter some aliens who put paid to something the Doctor holds dear.

Take a trip to paradise with us as we travel to Deva Loka. So calm and tranquil until, as often happens, a snake ruins it - a very literal snake in this case. You can’t mend people! Or can you…
