Episode 56: Gond But Not Forgotten (The Krotons)

This episode, we discuss the script debut of the legendary writer Robert Holmes, in a story where a group of students use the power of acid to overthrow their educational overlords! Surprisingly, it’s not footage of student riots from the 1960s – it’s actually The Krotons!   Over the course of the episode, Don gets passionate about canon, Reilly contemplates the hours of fun that would be a Kroton video game, Julie tries to make sense of why the Gonds never previously rose up against the Krotons, and Anthony gives a mini history lesson. The entire team discusses how utterly terrible and nonsensical the Krotons’ method of powering their spacecraft actually is.   For those of you who want to watch this along with us, this story is available on DVD through both Amazon US (https://amzn.to/3b9qGJu) and Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3vDDyRK).
