Send us a text and let us know what you think of our podcast!

The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe arrive in what appears to be No-man's Land during the First World War, but SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT! 

"Doctor!" Jamie shouts, astounded. "My kilt has turned a wee orange! " 

"And everything is happening so quickly!" adds Zoe. 

"Yes..." the Doctor growls. "I rather think that someone has been tampering with our timeline, turning four and a half hours into just ninety minutes! Oh my giddy aunt!" 

In this week's podcast Geoff and Paul turn their groovy specs to the second Doctor's epic finale adventure: THE WAR GAMES! 

... Or at least, the colourised, edited omnibus version recently released on blu-ray and BBC iPlayer with updated FX. 

Is this version of Troughton's last hurrah a stunning modern-day re-imagining of an all-time classic? Does it make it easier for the young'uns of the Tik-Tok generation to access the grainy, old, slower-paced, black and white adventures of Doctor Who's immense back catalogue? Or is it an experiment as fated as the Chief Scientist's processing machine? 

To test the theory, our resident Gen-Z, Freya, dials in to add her thoughts to those of our intrepid hosts! 

Listen in to find out what we all thought of The War Games in Colour, and whether  we gave it a thumbs up or a thumbs down!
