Third Doctor, Jo, and The Brigadier

"WHEN A DAMAGED SPACESHIP CONTAINING BEAUTIFUL HUMANOID CREATURES CALLED AXONS LANDS ON EARTH, THE DOCTOR, JO AND UNIT ARE SENT TO INVESTIGATE. IN RETURN FOR THEIR HELP, THE AXONS OFFER THE GIFT OF AXONITE, WHICH WOULD END WORLD FAMINE. IT ALL APPEARS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE - SO WHAT SECRETS ARE THE AXONS HIDING ON BOARD THEIR SHIP? AND WHY IS THE DOCTOR'S OLD ENEMY, THE MASTER, INVOLVED?"

Third Doctor, Jo, and The Brigadier

"Professor Keller has created a machine that can pacify even the most dangerous of criminals. But when The Doctor and Jo arrive at Strangmoor prison for a demonstration, things start to go horribly wrong – especially when they discover that The Doctor’s old enemy The Master is responsible for the machine.

 What could he possibly want from the criminals? And what connects him with an impending world peace conference?"

Third Doctor, Brigadier, and Jo

Finally, The Master is in the house and he's brought his cuddly dolls with him. We also cast judgement on the latest biscuit craze.

'The Doctor is still trapped on earth and unable to use the tardis, but the Time Lords are still looking out for him. They send warning that The Master has arrived, and The Doctor soon discovers that the evil Time Lord is working alongside the Nestene and its lethal Autons.

 

 Once again, the Earth is in terrible danger. Can The Doctor and his new assistant Jo Grant save it before it's too late and the terror of the Autons is revealed?'

Third Doctor, Brigadier, and Liz

This week, the Brigadier is homeless and investigates a murder involving a truly unique weapon and we drink an awesome beer.

"INFERNO IS A TOP-SECRET PROJECT THAT INVOLVES DRILLING DOWN INTO THE CRUST OF THE EARTH TO UNLEASH A NEW ENERGY SOURCE. HOWEVER, THE DOCTOR, ALONG WITH HIS ASSISTANT LIZ SHAW, IS CONCERNED THAT THIS DRILLING WILL HAVE DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. HIS CONCERNS ARE SOON CONFIRMED WHEN THE TARDIS THROWS HIM INTO A DANGEROUS PARALLEL UNIVERSE, WHERE PROJECT INFERNO IS ALMOST COMPLETE AND THE END OF THE WORLD IS NEAR..."

Third Doctor, The Brigadier, and Liz

This week you can find out vaguely how fast something can maybe do something and discover our plans for the world's first Russian Delivery Service. Also Doctor Who,

"Something has gone seriously wrong with Mars Probe 7. With no contact from the astronauts since the rocket started its return journey from Mars, Space Control is now extremely worried about the fate of the crew. A rescue mission recovers something – but whatever it is, it certainly isn’t Human. To find out what has happened to the astronauts, The Doctor must head into space without the TARDIS..."

Exiled to earth and now working for unit as their scientific advisor, the doctor is summoned to an

Initially suspecting sabotage, he soon discovers that the nearby cave system conceals a colony of an ancient reptilian race called the silurians. Awaking from a hibernation which has lasted millions of years, they are now intent on reclaiming the earth from mankind..

Third Doctor, Liz, and The Brig

Here we are with the Third Doctor, and kick it off in style we're going HD. No reconstruction, just crisp Blu Ray. But what's in store for you guys? Besides fast zombies, find out the difference between everything and nothing, and our brand new feature - drinking beer. That's new right?.

Exile! The time lords have banished the newly-regenerated doctor to earth, but the doctor isn't the only alien to have arrived - a swarm of meteorites have crashed into sleepy english countryside, bringing with them a terrible new threat to mankind.

 

As the nestene plan takes shape, unit, the doctor and his new scientific advisor, liz shaw, race against time to stop humanity being replaced by a terrifying plastic facsimile race...
