Episode 91: Self-Indulgent and Unnecessary (Season 11 Retrospective)

Doctor Who: Watchers in the Fourth Dimension

Once again, we have reached the end of another season, so join us as we look back on the entirety of Season 11. From the highs of Benton punching a General in Invasion of the Dinosaurs, to the lows of… well, the entirety of The Monster of Peladon, we talk about it all with our usual blend of awards, a look back on our metrics and scores from the season, and questions from our social media followers. It’s definitely an interesting one – but what about this season is particularly “Self-Indulgent and Unnecessary?”

Along the way, Julie continues her Benton love, Reilly explains why John Dearth as Lupton is the Best Supporting Actor, Anthony does his best Neska impression (and is still somehow does a better job of conveying emotion than Jenny Laird), and Don confesses his bizarre love of the cliffhanger from Part Three of Death to the Daleks. The entire crew continue to express their disdain for the twelve-and-a-half minute chase scene from Planet of the Spiders.
