We reconvene with Jonn in the wake of the RTD bombshell to re-examine our prior assumptions, evaluate our feelings on the news, and once more make some ill-advised speculation about the future.

Recorded less than 24 hours before the announcement of Russell T Davies' return to Doctor Who, Flick and Wrenna are joined by writer and journalist Jonn Elledge to discuss the show's past and future, the throughline of 1985 and 2021. We revisit notions of fandom from a third perspective, look back on the classic era, the revived era that has been, and the revived era to come. And then we get thoroughly pre-empted by the BBC press office.

Flick and Wrenna consider the ultimate defense of Doctor Who, a future yet to come. Layers of reflection, modernity and prediction win the jury, whilst knotty questions of time and reality razzle-dazzle the prosecution. Meanwhile, some humorously shaped vegetables are charged with obscenity.

REUPLOAD: We caught a mixing issue with the gain on this one. It should now be fixed.
Flick and Wrenna have caught up with the present in the Trial of Trial of a Time Lord. Violence and nastiness is the charge, but is it justified? And just how wise is it to address the topic by recreating it? Is it satire or simply a regression to the foibles of the previous season? Does Sil have to be quite so unpleasant? Meanwhile, Brian Blessed gives us something to shout about.

In 1985, Michael Grade attempted to cancel Doctor Who. He failed. A year later, the show returned with a response in the form of an entire season of Doctor Who. One of the most controversial and storied periods in the show's history, it can't be fully understood by looking at any individual episode. So in the first of a four part monthlong marathan, Flick and Wrenna put Trial of a Time Lord, in its entirety, back on trial. But first, they have to revisit the original trial: The Hiatus of 1985.

The time has come for Flick and Wrenna to return to Gallifrey and talk of many things, including talking cabbages and Time Lord presidents, and the Alice in Wonderland oddity that is Episode Three of the Deadly Assassin.
