The Caves Of Androzani Part Three Examined

Examining The Doctor: The Caves Of Androzani Part Three

It’s a very different episode of Examining The Doctor this week, as it lacks two thirds of its Time Lords. Seth is forced to pilot his TARDIS solo while examining Part Three of The Caves Of Androzani. See The Magma Beast in all it’s glory, and the political intrigue that develops between Morgus and The President. But most importantly, see why this is named The Greatest Doctor Who Story of all time!

The Caves Of Androzani Part Two Examined

The Caves Of Androzani Part Two Examined

Peter Davison’s epic swansong The Caves Of Androzani is the focus of Examining The Doctor. Part Two finds The Doctor and Peri facing a Firing Squad (or does it?). Throughout the episode, the political struggle between Androzani Major and Androzani Minor is fleshed out, Sharaz Jek’s role is defined, and we get some wonderfully silly shots of The Magma Creature.

Still, despite the budgetary issues, the elements of greatness shine through in this second installment of what is now the Guinness Book Of World Records Holder as The Greatest Doctor Who Story Of All Time. Join Mark and Seth as they bring their trademark blend of knowledge and humor to this episode. It’s the audio equivalent of Spectrox.

The Caves Of Androzani Part One Examined

Examining The Doctor #33: The Caves Of Androzany Part One

1984 was a pivotal year for Doctor Who. It saw not only the departure of three companions but the departure of The Fifth Doctor himself, Peter Davison. Thankfully Davison’s swansong was an epic tale worthy of a regeneration story.

The Doctor and newfound companion Peri find themselves on the barren planet of Androzani Minor and are quickly mistaken for gunrunning terrorists. The Doctor is quick to learn that there’s more than meets the eye on this planet, and he and Peri soon find themselves facing certain death in the name of a political struggle.

Join Mark and Seth as they bring their signature blend of historical knowledge and humor to what is currently the Guinness Book Of World Record holder as the greatest Doctor Who Story of all time.

The Doctor Dances Examined

Examining The Doctor #32: The Doctor Dances examined

The second part of The Empty Child has Christopher Eccleston’s Ninth Doctor in a position where he must save the world from nanogenes during early WWII. Mark and Seth bring their usual blend of classic knowledge and satirical humor to provide commentary for what is widely regarded as one of the best stories not only in the modern era but in all Doctor Who, as it is rated in the Top 10 via Doctor Who Magazine fan votes.

The Empty Child Examined

One of the shining moments of Christopher Eccleston’s lone season was the two part story The Empty Child/The DoctorDances by Stephen Moffat. The story has Eccleston’s Ninth Doctor in World War II Era London encountering a wandering child in a gas mask. The eerie phrase “Are you my mummy” has become iconic in Modern Who lore.

Join Mark and Seth as they provide their unique blend of knowledge and humor as they examine the history and presentation of this modern classic!
