Episode 95: Big Giant Shiny Metal Balls (The Sontaran Experiment)

We’re heading down to a deserted far future Earth, where a baked potato is evaluating a small group of humans for… well… apparently, an invasion… but it seems to be more for plain old sadism. Maybe. Anyway, in this episode we’re discussing The Sontaran Experiment!   Along the way, Reilly once again gets disgusted by the tongue movements of a Sontaran, Anthony asks how these humans totally missed Nerva being in orbit, Julie desires a Doctor Who serial written by Bob Barker and Dean Martin, and Don comes up with new theories about Styre’s motives. The entire team ponders how everything going on with this deserted Earth seems to be happening in the same extremely small geographic area!   If you would like to watch along with us, this serial is available for streaming at both Britbox US (https://www.britbox.com) and Britbox UK (https://www.britbox.co.uk).
