Episode 81: “The Sounds Of Drums”/”Last Of The Time Lords” and “The Magician’s Apprentice”/”The Witch’s Familiar”

Alasdair is visiting Chicago, so he drops by Allison's place to record an in-person episode. Friend of the show Kate Kulzick joins us for the opening of this, the second edition of our big look at the Master, to discuss the character's origins in the classic series and what has and hasn't carried over to the new series. Then it's just Alasdair and Allison discussing this pair of two-parters, one of which is generally very good with a couple faults here and there, and the other is... ooh boy, where even to begin with the other one? There's a ton of Michelle Gomez praise, as is customary, but we also have more than a few positive things to say about John Simm's incarnation. But then that's just the tip of an especially bonkers iceberg.
