91: Doctor Who: Age of Ultron (The Deadly Assassin)

“You’re all just puppets in my political game” – Chancellor “Ultron” Goth.

This week we learn that Dylan doesn’t know the difference between commissioned and decommissioned. To be fair, flammable and inflammable mean the same thing, so… honest mistake. Anyway, the serial at hand for Kiyan and Dylan this week is The Deadly Assassin, written by Robert Holmes and aired in October and November of 1976.

90: There’s a Lot of Hands in This Serial (The Hand of Fear)

Wow, a lot looks really weird in that title.

This week Kiyan and Dylan discuss hands. Like all sorts of hands. Human hands, Kastrian Hands, Sarah Jane’s Hands. Why Sarah Jane’s in particular? Because it’s her final serial, The Hand of Fear, written by Bob Baker and David Martin and aired in October of 1976.

89: Sacrifice Sarah to Davros (The Masque of Mandragora)

All hail the mighty Davros. I think.

This week Kiyan and Dylan accidentally shoe-horn Davros into a non-Dalek serial. Actually, Dylan won’t lie, he chose this title for the sweet, sweet SEO. This week the non-Dalek serial that they covered was The Masque of Mandragora, written by Lewis Marks and aired in September of 1976.

88: Dial Up Saves the Day! (The Seeds of Doom)

Beeeeep boop boop beeeep.

Disclaimer, what we said about John Leven is based only on stories we’ve seen or read on the internet. They can be faked. Do not necessarily believe everything you hear, it’s possible we (or they) were (and are) wrong.

This week Kiyan and Dylan…. release late, and then silently swear at the cricket on the recording. It stops about 3 minutes in, don’t worry. Well he returns for a short encore or two and then disappears. Maybe he died. Anyway the serial at hand is The Seeds of Doom, written by Robert Banks Stewart and aired in January through March of 1976.

87: Now That’s What I Call Doctor Who 57 (The Brain of Morbius)

They say Steven Moffat is a big contributor to Now That’s What I Call Doctor Who: Greatest Hits Revisted 3.

This week Kiyan and Dylan explain their way through The Brain of Morbius, and successfully avoid accidentally joining a cult. The Brain of Morbius was written by Robert Bland (Terrance Dicks and Robert Holmes), and was aired in January of 1976. Just January.

(Ok so The Eight Leg two parter and the Morbius two parter are different seasons of the Eighth Doctor Adventures, but let’s not forget that a good deal of the other stories are greatest hits revisited too. I.e. the return of the Wirrn, the Zygons, Susan, the Daleks, the Cybermen and the Ice Warriors.)
