127 Classic Who Rewind: Remembrance of the Daleks

Live from Master Closet Studios, you’re listening to the only podcast on the internet that tried to record without microphones: It’s the Noobs and the Whovian!  This is the podcast that introduces a whole new generation to Doctor Who by watching an episode each week and discussing it from the perspective of a dad who’s seen it before, and two sons who haven’t. Welcome to Episode 127, a Classic Who Rewind covering season 25 episode 1-4: Remembrance of the Daleks This is the one where the Doctor and Ace let two factions of the Daleks fight each other for the Hand of Omega. Oh and Ace beats up some Daleks with an electric bat and then jumps through a window.
