Flick and Wrenna admire the terileptil aesthetic and delve back into history. Or do they? With historical takes so hot they might start a fire, it's time to discuss the Visitation.

It might be one of Pertwee's shortest stories, but Flick and Wrenna find more to say than ever before about Terror of the Autons. From the period concerns of Letts, Dicks and Holmes to UNIT, Jo, Mike, the Nestene... And, of course, the Master.

We're back in the Hartnell era, tackling a story that changed Who history by asserting that Who can't change history, and so created a precedent that shaped everything thereafter. But how much does the Aztecs change history itself?

Flick and Wrenna tackle eight part military spy-fi thriller epic the Invasion, and there's so much ground to cover. Lost episodes, animation, the dawning of the UNIT era, cybermen on the streets of London and the never-more-arch villain Tobias Vaughn. How much pod could Packer pack if Packer could pack pods? It couldn't be more packed than this!

Flick and Wrenna begin a new voyage through Who history with a trip to the Leisure Hive of Argolis. JNT begins shaping his vision, Christopher Bidmead introduces some hard science, Flick can't stop thinking about Slitheen, and everyone is betraying everyone else. Can Classic Who be too fast paced?

Flick and Wrenna celebrate a seasonal special for the classic era, the changing landscape of specials in modern Who, and the era-appropriate Christmasses that might have been. So spend a fourth-wall breaking, tradition-making Christmas (with a dalek), then ring in the new year by writing about how bad it was, just like they did in 1965! Have a merry time whatever you celebrate, and we'll return freshly regenerated in 2021!

Are Flick and Wrenna discussing the Mind Robber, or am I just writing that they are...? Is this a psychedelic fantasy, or a horror story in disguise?

Flick and Wrenna are very glad to have watched the Happiness Patrol. They present a joyous deep dive into the psychology of the Seventh Doctor, an ecstatic assessment of a different kind of political Who, and beatific reflection on the true spirit of Doctor Who. We hope you're happy...
