Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 423.

Lucky Day was another interesting episode! Ruby Sunday’s back in action, trying to navigate life on Earth without the Doctor. Things get dicey when a new threat emerges, and she’s got to save her boyfriend, Conrad, from the Shreek.

The episode explores heavy themes like online toxicity and personal struggles, but honestly, it left us feeling a bit mixed. We’re all about the twists and turns, but this one had us flipping back and forth on whether we loved it or just kinda liked it.

Tune in as we break down our thoughts, laughs, and maybe a few head-scratchers from this episode.

Lastly, if you're a fan of Blake's 7, check out our other podcast - Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7. We've just wrapped our first season of our review of every episode of Series A, plus some great bonus episodes. Enjoy!

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 422.

The Doctor and Belinda arrive at a remote dig site where ancient history is colliding with something far more sinister. As tensions rise and minds begin to fray, it’s not clear what’s real or who’s in control.

We chat about the episode’s eerie tone, the way it leans into psychological horror, and the strength of Belinda’s performance alongside the Doctor, plus a few thoughts on the pacing and how it fits into the broader run of Season 2 so far.

Hey, Who fans and welcome to the [Month] Round Table!

Kicking things off, we chat about our recent weekend adventure at the Capital Cutaway event. It was a blast meeting up in London and geeking out together, and we're already planning our trip to next year's big 50th DWAS event.

We also gave our hot takes on the first two episodes of Season Two, “Robot Revolution” and “Lux”. Some of us loved the new companion, Belinda and her strong attitude, while others felt the stories were a bit tired or rushed.
