Episode 171: Hypnotism With Extra Steps (The Mark of the Rani)
Saturday, 10 October, 2026

We’re off to 19th Century Northern England, where we encounter… more violence! This time, it’s Luddites trying to stop progress, rather than violence for entertainment. Well… until you remember that the Master is involved in this, and he probably does find it all rather entertaining. On top of that, enter the Rani, as we discuss The Mark of the Rani! Join us as we discuss the ongoing shenanigans of the Ainley Master (how gay he’s become, how angry he makes Reilly, and his new way of upsetting Julie), the joys of the man with the blunderbuss (better known as Lord Ravensworth), how melatonin would have prevented any of this from happening, Peri getting groped by a tree, and how we have now head-cannoned the Doctor and the Rani kissing at Time Lord Prom. Finally, Reilly tries to up our listens by pumping up Invasion of the Dinosaurs If you would like to watch along with us, you can find this entire season available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).
