Join us next week for our review of the final six parts of Doctor Who serial #21, The Daleks’ Master Plan!  This is the longest Doctor Who story, consisting of 12 episodes.  As such, we have split it across two podcast episodes.  This week we covered the first six episodes, and next week we will cover the remaining six.  We invite you to follow along by watching these episodes before the podcast.  Most of The Daleks’ Master Plan has been lost, however, the remaining episodes can be found on the Lost In Time DVD set.  The soundtrack can be acquired from Audible.com.
