In a bumper 70-minute edition of the podcast Andy and Alex take to a beautiful sandy beach in Auckland, New Zealand. As the waves lap at the shore and they neck back Prosecco they enjoy the usual quiz, discuss the foregone conclusion that was the Curse of Peladon Hall of Fame vote, defend the Callieach from the Megara and review the forgotten Hartnell gem: The Reign of Terror. The latter prompts many questions: Why does a rescue and a crowded street never mix? Why is Alex, like Barbara, attracted to Leon Colbert? Who are Plot Exposition Boy and Hacky Ann? Why did William Russell holiday in France during the production and neglect to take an iPhone with him? Why did Alex wear a plumed hat to the beach? Could Susan's near death moments really be cured simply with a Panadol? Just who did learn about the French Revolution at school and was Barbara's history class any good? How do you pronounce guillotine, Lemaitre and, most difficult of all, the word: separated? All these questions will be asked but not necessarily answered. If all that wasn't (world) enough (and time) the real Janet Fielding acknowledges the feline Janet Fielding! What more could you possibly want? Sacre bleu, as the French might say.
