Nathan and Juliette venture into the second through fourth episodes of the first serial of Doctor Who, just in time to watch Susan channel her inner Beevis as we wrap up An Unearthly Child. Along the way we’ll discuss feats of strength with styrofoam, whether these titles were written for the Hardy Boys (or Nancy Drew!), and whether or not Barbara or Susan have ever seen roadkill. We’ll also see Za and Kal avoid going Amok and discuss the merits of gasoline when making a fire. Juliette will also assert her superior survival skills and thus make her the leader of our tribe, which will explain just why fire rules. By the end we’re a little older and a little wiser and Juliette has some Opinions™.

Nathan and Juliette take their first foray into the world of Doctor Who. First up is an introductory episode where Nathan and Juliette introduce themselves. Then they review both the unaired and aired pilots of the series. Along the way they discuss the challenges of filming, whether there’s more chemistry than just what’s in the classroom between Ian and Barbara, issues with looking straight at the camera, what makes something ‘alive’, and whether the Doctor is just a violent kidnapper. Nathan brings up a lot of behind-the-scenes info and before it ends they’re interrupted by a very special cat. Please note: this recording was plagued by sound issues that we were only partially able to fix in editing. However, we didn’t want to re-record because we wanted our reactions to the discussion to be genuine. The sound issues have been addressed for future episodes.
