Join us next week for our review of Doctor Who story #152, Battlefield! This one is out of print in region 1 and hard to find for a reasonable price, but you can stream the serial from BritBox or rent the DVD from Netflix. For our audio adventure, we’ll be concluding The Lives of Captain Jack boxed set with the fourth adventure, Month 25. The boxed set is available from BigFinish.com.
