The Randomiser: Unpredictable Doctor Who Chat

-- SPOILER WARNING --
Spoilers for Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror and indeed any previous Doctor Who episodes!
Spoilers for Episode One of Star Trek: Picard and previous Star Trek too...
----------------------------------------

In this episode Tim & Chaz discuss Nikola Terror's Night of Tesla, and reflect on how much we can't spoon Standerisms. There's a lot of Big Finish in the middle, gratuitous product placement and some challenging Tofu.
