Episodes of Death 17: Last Chance Saloon
Here's a Donald Cotton bonus! It's an episode of my old podcast Doctor Who and the Episodes of Death, in which guests would champion stories they love that are underrated by fandom. And back in Episode 17, author and Big Finish scribe Eddie Robson dropped by to explain why the the legendary “worst Doctor Who story ever”, The Gunfighters, is actually an underappreciated gem. Enjoy!
