New Beginnings - Fourth v. Seventh Doctors

With the first season of the Thirteenth Doctor still ruminating in our minds, Jessica and Phillip compare some classic Doctors' first appearances. How do they compare to their first seasons, and how we came to feel about them? They look at the Fourth Doctor's debut in "Robot" and the Seventh Doctor's arrival in "Time and the Rani."

"Resolution" Discussion

It's a new year, which means new Doctor Who! The Thirteenth Doctor gets a quite crowded TARDIS to ring in 2019. She encounters her ancient enemy, whilst Ryan encounters his absent dad. Jessica and Phillip wonder how well these two stories meld together. Does "Resolutions" provide a meaningful resolution to the Ryan storyline?

Okay, technically there is still the Doctor Who New Year's special - but the 10 episodes that comprise the Thirteenth Doctor's introduction give us enough to talk about!

It's modern day Norway (for some reason) and strange things are afoot. The Doctor and #TeamTARDIS meet a troubled girl, a missing father, and a mirror that goes to the Mirror Universe (not the Star Trek or Alice in Wonderland ones).
