Bonus Episode 20: Kinderhorror (Big Finish - The Scorchies)

Doctor Who: Watchers in the Fourth Dimension

It’s time for a bonus episode, in which all four of us are joined by our good friend Naomi (aka @thewhovian_gal on Instagram), as we discuss the Season 10-adjacent Big Finish adventure The Scorchies! Join us as we talk about one of the most weird and bonkers stories to date! Oh, and did we mention that this is Don’s first Big Finish experience? Because it’s Don’s first Big Finish experience!

Along the way, Don focuses on Scorchies’ the absurdly dark back story, Naomi and Julie bond over their mutual love of Sergeant Benton (and dislike of Captain Yates), Reilly questions the mechanics behind the reversal of reversing the polarity of the neutron flow, and Anthony embarrassingly confuses two of his co-hosts. The entire crew try to figure out which Scorchie is which, and which ones are their favourites (and Reilly gets a little upset at Julie’s omission of Cool Cat).
