7 (8) - The Would-Be Assassin
[Due to technical problems in the recording of our Romana I episode, we're putting this one out first] An underrated and troubled companion this time! We discuss Vislor Turlough, his journey from untrustworthy companion to trusted friend to the Fifth Doctor, his relationships with his fellow companions, and the late-stage reveal of his backstory. And, as always, we ramble a fair amount, this time covering Sapphire and Steel as well as Blake's 7, the incredible work of Paul Magrs, and our love for Sixie (in a Fifth Doctor episode...); and discuss quite how evil the Master is, and our personal underrated incarnations. Next time, Peri!
