"Hydrolyzed vegetable protein, soybean meal, niacin, dextrose, and sodium nitrate flavoring."

"Yup, that's what we call "meat" back home."

Many copycat movies were produced in the wake of 1977's Star Wars. But perhaps none are as legendary as Roger Corman's Battle Beyond the Stars AKA The Magnificent 7 in space. Join DK and Nigel the Kaiju Whisperer as they take a deep dive into the movie with more alien species than you can shake a stick at, a sublime James Horner soundtrack, and arguably the most erotic ship in fiction.

"30 seconds and counting, Zed. 29, 28, 27, 24, 15, 22... did I... did I say 15?"

Series 2, Episode 4 - "My name was Ashad. I did spare your son...because he's a useless runt, sickly and weak. And I did have children. I slit their throats when they joined the resistance."

Clouds are gathering, lightning strikes, and a familiar mechanical clank is moving in from Lake Geneva. Welcome to a spine-tingling episode of the Hit or Miss: Doctor Who Cyberman season, as this week we're investigating The Haunting of Villa Diodati. Host Michael is joined by a group of returning guests whose intellect and wit could rival any gathering of literary geniuses... or at least three Whovians and podcasters who turned up. It's regular contributor Tobi and newer recruits Stephen and Lynn. Our frightful foursome begin by discussing the highs (and lows) of the Whittaker era, then blast straight into the Hit or Miss section. This week the debates involve our famous time traveller's wife, a NuWho spaceship, a gender-swapped arch nemesis and a recent controversial cyber innovation. Then it’s off to Switzerland, 1816. Against the storm-lashed backdrop of Villa Diodati, our ghost hunters explore Frankenstein’s genesis, deliciously chilling atmosphere, and the seismic impact of Ashad — the Lone Cyberman. There’s praise (and some criticism) for the writing and performances, deep dives into the historical and thematic context, and an exploration of the Doctor’s seemingly unwinnable moral dilemma. So put the ghost story contest on the back burner, ignore the dreadful weather, grab a sandwich, and settle in for a mechanically macabre episode.

"Sometimes this team structure isn't flat. It's mountainous, with me at the summit in the stratosphere, alone, left to choose. Save the poet, save the universe. Watch people burn now or tomorrow. Sometimes, even I can't win."

Series 2, Episode 3 – "Another artist replaced by A.I!"

Hello again Whovians and Cyberfans, and welcome to another episode of Hit or Miss: Doctor Who. This week our Cyberman explorations take us back to classic black-and-white Who, as we try not to trip any traps or wake any frozen armies during our deep dive into Second Doctor classic The Tomb of the Cybermen. Host Mike and co-host D.K. are joined by two returning guests for this expedition to Telos: regular fixture Tobi, and Lynn, back again following our The Tenth Planet review. Proceedings begin with an analysis of Tobi and D.K.’s choices for favourite Cyberman storylines, before heading straight into our regular Hit or Miss segment. This week’s mini-debates take in a Key to Time adventure, the most recent Master, a particularly relevant classic companion, and the Seventh Doctor’s sole clash with our featured silver nemesis. Then it’s on to the main event. Our tomb-raiding crew dig deep into the story’s growing reputation as a once-missing adventure, the evolution of the Cybermen, Victoria’s first trip in the TARDIS, the contrast between human and Cyber villains, and the sheer brilliance of Patrick Troughton and Frazer Hines. It’s not all praise, though — we also confront the story’s unfortunate racist tropes, over-ambitious effects, studio limitations, and a slightly flimsy world-conquering plot. Audience thoughts, final conclusions, and scores close things out as ever. So don’t touch any suspicious doors, don’t stand between obvious weapons and training dummies, never make a deal with the Cybermen — and press play to navigate your way out of the catacombs with us.
