Steven and Erika have a holiday weekend, so that means it’s Lazy Doctor Who time. Tonight, we’ve watched the first ep of a rare Pertwee story that Erika has seen multiple times!

Erika and Steven finish off a story that Erika deeply loves. They also talk about pronouns, the character arc for a character with a disability, Big Finish Peladon possibilities (that may already exist), how this story fits in the range of 3rd Doctor stories, how much Erika loves Doctor Who and why, what’s going on in Casa Castria, rewatching season 18 week-by-week, and how great Total Party Kill is for knitting a Doctor Who scarf.

Most of the tangents come at the end, so feel free to bail if you’re just here for the Who info.

Steven and Erika finally get back to “The Curse of Peladon”, but no worries — they remember everything that’s happening because it’s so exciting and fun!

Erika and Steven close out a Canada Day mini-marathon with the first episode of a story Erika remembers and loves. Well-written Jo is back! And has real chemistry with Peladon! We get an assortment of cool aliens! And court intrigue! What a lovely note to end on for this holiday. (Certainly that falling statue won’t harm the Doctor or anyone else…)

Steven and Erika complete the story that Steven claims is peak-hair for both the 3rd Doctor and Jo. Erika is just excited to see the end of a story and not know what’s going to happen. Happy Canada Day, all!

Erika and Steven continue the Canada Day celebration with more Doctor Who and lots of appreciation for the sets, costumes, makeup, casting, and Aubrey Woods.

Steven and Erika celebrate Canada Day as is their tradition: with Indian food and Doctor Who.

Erika and Steven finish off season 8 on Erika’s birthday! What a way to celebrate!

Steven and Erika watch a couple more episodes of rural, “magical”, Masterful Doctor Who.

Erika and Steven decide to make it an official Easter weekend mini-marathon by doing a third podcast episode and starting in on “The Dæmons”. It’s exciting because we’ve been there!
