About this episode
The episode discusses the Doctor Who story 'Planet of Fire' and its various characters and themes.
Kamelion reminds us all that he still exists and causes an eruption of trouble for the Doctor and Turlough. They must confront an alien marital aid, a sneaky stepdad and a livid waiter on Earth. And Sarn is no better, accommodating as it does a guy-linered zealot, a boy band leader and more lava than a 1960s lamp retailer. Chuck in a reappearance from the Doctor's psychotic old school chum and we have a great big melting pot that's well worth avoiding. Why wasn't K9 replaced with an electronic whale? Can Nicola Bryant avoid a skyclad Teuton? Did JNT enjoy his holiday at the licence payers' expense? And did Jim and Martin find Planet of Fire smokin' hot or was it more like a wet Wednesday in Cromer? Listen to find out!
