Doctor Who: Watchers in the Fourth Dimension
TV & Film:TV Reviews
Eldrad must live! On what is her 18th story with the Doctor, we wave goodbye to Sarah Jane Smith (for now at least). She’s had a bit of a torrid time during her tenure in the TARDIS, and The Hand of Fear is no exception, as she gets possessed by the evil Eldrad. This serial has everything – silicon despots, hospitals, nuclear horror, mind control (ah, that old chestnut!), and, of course, a scarf-trip!
Join us as we discuss the advantages of closed captions, the universal art of quilting, Gallifrey being in Ireland, cats on synthesizers, Sarah trolling the Doctor, and the sad case of what is likely the end of Professor Watson’s career. It’s a fun-packed episode, so make sure you listen in to this one!
