Episode 16: The Keeper of Traken

Episode 16 sees us 'back on the Pondcast Bagwagon' as we plunge into the lush and velvety Gaudi-inspired world of Traken where people have suddenly stopped being terribly nice to each other. We explore the all-too temporary TARDIS team of the 4th Doctor and Adric, Kassia's somewhat confusing motivations, and the place that Roger Limb's music has in Alex's psyche. We also ask just how far should you put up your hands in a hostage situation, the weaponising of the fosters, and why cucumber-strewing seems to be a Traken national sport. And what has any of this got to do with Brexit? Elsewhere there's an interview with Alex's youngest daughter Cassia (with a 'C') on seeing her namesake on the telly box for the first time, a nostalgic New Adventures books quiz, a surprisingly simpatico Cailleach, and a few interview gems from Swap Shop and Mavis Nicholson. Also, Janet Fielding goes missing! The cat not Tegan. Keep up, she's not due to debut until Logopolis. WARNING: There is singing. "Ah, Neman! How nice."
