With the Three Who Rule down to one as both Warren and Chris are gallivanting in parts known and unknown this weekend, and with both the Doctor Who Season 13 Collection and the Blake’s 7 Series 2 Collection releases imminent, this week Steven turns the entire episode to a chat with friend of the show Toby Hadoke! Toby recounts working on several extras included across both Blu-ray sets, and also the recent positive hubbub regarding missing Doctor Who episodes generates some excited chatter.
