Ep 68 - Carryover Companions

Time to talk transitions! Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy, as we discuss the companions who were there when the Doctor regenerated. How does a carryover companion help (or not help) the audience's reaction to a new Doctor? Which companions handled it well? Which freaked out? All this and plenty more this week! If you're a day-of downloader, four of us (Deb, Erika, Kat, and Liz) are on their way to (or have already arrived in) Los Angeles for the Gallifrey One convention. If you're attending, please find us and say hi! We have ribbons AND BRACELETS! ^E Also covered [links on our site]: Tansy hosted a Doctor Who-themed birthday party, complete with TARDIS cake!
