It’s a special Covid-19 episode as Nathan and Juliette discover the perpetrators behind the toilet paper and food hording and find that it’s none other than the Doctor’s oldest returning foes, The Daleks. Take a trip to the planet Skaro as they discuss the behind-the-scenes origins of the crazy creatures. Along the way they discuss the Doctor’s profound selfishness and the changing relationships of the crew. Nathan defends Susan against the fan narrative. Juliette points out that the Thals can’t be that pacifistic when Dyoni is ready to cut any woman that looks at Alydon. They both discuss the obliviousness of the crew who don’t notice a flashing Geiger Counter, and then they have the first segment of Juliette’s costume corner as they discuss the horror of Thal fashion.

Alternate Title: The Mutants (As the BBC didn’t assign titles to the serials until the 1970’s, some fans have other titles for the storylines that they consider “more accurate”. After the first three seasons no more of these alternate titles occur. This one is especially confusing, because there is another serial entitled “The Mutants” later in the series.)
