Episode 103: “Terror Of The Autons” and “The Sontaran Stratagem”/”The Poison Sky”

Debating Doctor Who - A podcast by Allison Shoemaker and Alasdair Wilkins

Our next stop in our exploration of all things Brigadier and UNIT is a pair of alien invasion stories with good parts and... well, yeah, both have more than their fair share of bad parts. Allison very much continues to have Luke Rattigan thoughts. But "Terror Of The Autons" might be the more disappointing entry here, especially when something that is both sequel to "Spearhead From Space" and introduction for the Master should have plenty of awesomeness to spare. We dive into why the story doesn't work as well as it ought to, plus Alasdair busts out another classic Who history lesson.
