The Randomiser: Unpredictable Doctor Who Chat

Short and hopefully sweet, we discuss the BFI screening of the Evil of the Daleks animation, revisit an old story and introduce a new feature "Box of Delights".

Romp or Pomp? - A fast and curious attempt to quickly categorise randomly chosen stories into to two utterly arbitrary kinds... fun filled Romp versus circumstance-heavy Pomp.
Tangent of the Week - We're rewatching Red Dwarf, smegheads. We reach the Dave era with Season X.

Challenge! - Chaz has been challenged to finally watch The Mutants. He's failed so far so it's time to turn up the heat...

And our new segment: Box of Delights - we randomly choose a piece of old TV to watch and discuss.

Lurching from traumatic mutations to bloody stones to Halloween 3 - Kneale before us, it’s The Randomiser Podcast episode 17.
Chaz and Tim have recently guested on Gareth's excellent podcast Very British Futures and heartily recommend it for a series of discussions of forgotten gems of British Sci-fi and Fantasy. Also Kinvig.
