When the Doctor and Rose return to London to find the world enraptured by ghostly figures, they soon find themselves taken prisoner by the Torchwood Institute, a clandestine government organization that investigates supernatural occurrences, and who is ultimately responsible for the sudden appearance of ghosts. When these ghosts finally reveal themselves to be the Cybermen from the alternate universe invading this world, a mysterious sphere also at the institute suddenly opens to reveal that the Cybermen have competition for invasion: the Daleks.

9.10 – Bad Wolf / The Parting of the Ways
The Doctor and Rose are separated as they find themselves the unwilling contestants in a series of twisted reality television programs with deadly consequences if they lose. Soon, the Doctor realizes that the Game Station is the same broadcast network they visited a century in the past, now run by The Bad Wolf Corporation and that he wasn't brought here by accident. The Daleks have returned from hiding after the Time War and are using the competition shows to harvest and convert human genetic material into a new army of fanatical and insane hybrids.
The Doctor knows he must do whatever it takes to stop them, even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice.

6.10 – The Trial of a Time Lord Part 3: Terror of the Vervoids / The Ultimate Foe
As the Doctor's trial continues, he demands to use the Matrix of Time to present evidence in his defense, choosing an adventure from his future in which a distress call leads the Doctor and his (as-of-yet unmet) companion Melanie Bush to investigate a series of grisly murders onboard the Hyperion III space liner.
But as it becomes increasingly clear that someone has tampered with the evidence, the Master arrives as a witness to the defense and reveals a Time Lord High Council conspiracy to give the Valeyard the Doctor's remaining regenerations if he successfully convicted him.
With his plan unraveled, the Valeyard flees into the Matrix of Time where the Doctor must follow to face him and prove his innocence once and for all.

Customer Reviews
So Much Fun
Giving this podcasts 5 stars because I adore the recaps/discussions of older episodes AND love listening to them review the new episodes. Even if I disagree with their opinions on it! (Not always, but even so, they are always well-argued and I trust that by the end of the episode I’ll understand where they’re coming from.) A great way to get to really know the whole franchise! Plus how could you not love Nick’s Moffat impression? I’ve started using it in my everyday life. And I’m not sorry, no matter how confused my coworkers looked
Missing Episodes?
Potential new listener here. I’m looking for a podcast that reviews all the episodes, but this show seems to be missing episodes 1-33. Where can I find them?
Best
This is a really really great. This is the only podcast I listen to on even a semi-regular basis and I'm alway eagar for new episodes. Listening to this caused me to watch all of classic doctor who. I really like the fun and positive tone and how each person always has a slightly differnt persepective on differnt aspects of the episode. I'm so glad this exists.
