147: The Rescue

About this episode

The episode explores the Doctor's adventures on Dido with a Susan-alike character and her companion, while discussing various plot elements and character dynamics.

The newly Susan-free TARDIS lands on Dido (but, alas, too late to prevent her musical career from happening). There they find a distressed Susan-alike, her grumpy companion and the sinister Koquillion, who is spiky both in physiognomy and personality. Can our intrepid travellers discover Bennett's secret? Will Babs murder any more of Vicki's pets? How will the Doctor survive without having the word "Grandfather" shrieked into his face on a regular basis? And did Jim and Martin enjoy their sojourn on Dido or were they in desperate need of rescue? Listen to find out! Find the podcast here, on iTunes/Apple Podcasts , Spotify , Audible and elsewhere.
