About this episode

The episode discusses the return of the Daleks and their creator Davros in 'Resurrection of the Daleks', exploring themes of violence, British culture, and various media references.

It’s time to once again say “hello!” to everyone’s favourite pepper pots – the Daleks – as they return to their creator Davros, in Resurrection of the Daleks. But do the creatures and their creator have the same agenda? We’re about to find out as we tackle this action-packed and violence-filled adventure! Join us as we talk about high body counts (no, not that type!), the weakness of the Daleks as they come out of their war, the increasingly shouty nature of Davros (and his choking noises), the Doctor using a handgun, cats in Doctor Who, the British obsession over tea, and how a bunch of current world leaders might actually be destabilizing Dalek sleeper agents. Meanwhile, Julie really wants every British actor ever to have been in Z Cars. If you would like to watch along with us, you can find this entire season available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).
