DIDDLY DUM PODCAST 168 – An Earthly Child

Doctor Who: Diddly Dum Podcast

We take a look at the two Peter Cushing Dalek films released in the 1960s at the height of Dalekmania. Along the way, Mark meets a fellow podcaster, Mark’s sister chances to meet our listener and we binge-watch Bond at the cinema.
