Episode 27: Carnival of Monsters

Doctor Who: the World Enough and Time podcast

Andy and Alex are feeling 'a bit umpty' after their rewatch of the highly regarded Pertwee four-parter Carnival of Monsters. They have searching questions about an anachronistic dinosaur, if the disappearance of the SS Bernice remains a mystery, and whether the Doctor ever did lobby for the banning of miniscopes. As well as requesting more Ogrons and Cybermen and better attention to scale, they also give you valuable advice on how to order pizza without mince in the Netherlands and explain their frisson of excitement at the prospect of eating Elizabeth Shaw mints. In addition to the above, the Cailleach actually brings some joy to proceedings for a change, while in the quiz Andy tasks Alex to decide on 'Pertwee or Pertwaddle'. Its all happenin' kids! Now don't twist that aggrometer too high. Shit! Too late. Next Time: Terror of the Vervoids (and definitely not Trial of a Timelord parts 9 to 12)
