67: Matador for the Minotaur (The Time Monster)

Interesting that dor and taur sound similar but are spelled differently.

This week Kiyan and Dylan work towards a new more witty episode…. No totally kidding, they just watched a witty serial. Said witty serial happened to be The Time Monster, written by Robert Sloman (with uncredited additions by Barry Letts), which aired in May and June of 1972.

62: Subliminal Pun Master (The Dæmons)

It’s the Master’s second evolution: The Subliminal Pun Master.

This week Kiyan and Dylan explored demons and witchcraft. Or so they thought until 5 minutes into episode 1, where the Doctor just slapped that thought out of their mind, because magic isn’t real. The topic at hand was The Dæmons, which was written Guy Leopold and aired in May and June of 1971.

Plot twist: The First Doctor returns! (Just kidding!)
