"Oestrogen. Definitely oestrogen. You take the pill, flush it away. It enters the water cycle, feminises the fish. Goes all the way up into the sky, then falls all the way back down onto me. Contraceptives in the rain. Love this planet. Still, at least I won't get pregnant. Never doing that again."

*sniff It does go on, Bill.

The franchise-bestriding legacy of Ann (not Anne) Robinson: her lead character Sylvia Van Buren from the 1953 movie returned for 3 eps of the 1988 series (now in an asylum having screaming abdabs whenever alien doings afoot), then a cameo as Grandmother at the end of Spielberg's 2005 movie.

Thanks so much for listening. Glad you are enjoying it.

It's so vivid.

Thanks for listening.

I’ve just been listening to this. It’s very good. I think that Collected Comics was the first Dr Who thing I ever owned… I was 10 and I loved it. I still do.

We absolutely did.

Thanks John. Glad it was relatable.

Caught up with this. Guys, you were discussing MY 90s! I too met Robert Beltran in a comic shop. I also visited a Star Trek exhibition. I got all my news/knowledge from TV Zone/DWM/DreamWatch/SFX. I watched TNG on BBC2 (& Sky 1). I think this is my favourite episode of the podcast. Loved it!

This one of two films by the team behind the ill fated Dr Who film The Last of the Time lords in the early 90s.

I remember you saying you didn't have much to go on in terms of the source material?

Oh, Torchwood. It was starting when I was first getting into Doctor Who so it was basically one half of how I interpreted the franchise for a while. Honestly, it colored how I viewed Doctor Who more than the Classic series did.

The 21st century is when it all changes. And you've gotta be ready.

We’ve come so far, have we forgotten where we were?
