This week we're coming to you from professor Zaroff's laboratory and Peter (@UncommonPilgrim) joins us to discuss The Underwater Menace.
It's all about fish dances, cheese hats and wetsuits while Sarah continues her criticism of Polly (or is that Anneke?) and tells us what she thinks of new companion Jamie.
Peter also joins for another round of our 'Guess The Monster' game!
Probably not the most loved of Doctor Who stories. We watched the official BBC DVD for the two surviving episodes and the reconstructions via Dailymotion.

This week we're visiting the highlands of Scotland as we continue with season 4 and the second doctor's second story.
It's a historical that introduces a new companion - although he doesn't seem to do much to begin with.
This is also a historical moment for Sarah as we'll look back on this episode as the point in which she starts to dislike Polly....
