142: The Underwater Menace

About this episode

The episode discusses the '60s Doctor Who story 'The Underwater Menace' with a humorous take on its themes and characters.

The Krynoid PodCast boys welcome you back to the Green Cathedral this Yuletide to offer you perhaps the closest thing to a pantomime that '60s Who gets, The Underwater Menace . What the heck is the Doctor wearing and why? Is the rest of the Atlanteans' male grooming as lax as their eyebrows? How will Polly's groovy new gills go down on the swinging King's Road? And did this soggy saga float Jim and Martin's boats or was it like watching a shipwreck? Listen to find out! This episode can also be found at iTunes/Apple Podcasts , Spotify , Audible and all other podcatchers (as far as we know). You can also find us on Facebook , Threads and Bluesky (but we've exited X - far too Musky for our tastes these days). Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays!
