Episode 58
As The Doctor and Romana continue to look for the scattered segments of the Key to Time, they cross Cailleach, an ancient alien criminal hiding on Earth ("The Stones of Blood"), and Grendel, a Count with his murderous eyes on the crown ("The Androids of Tara"). Note: This episode was recorded before the passing of Nicholas Courtney, hence the reason his death isn't mentioned at the top of the show. Look for Dan and Mike's thoughts about the man and his character next episode.

Episode 53
In the longest episode of Bigger on the Inside yet, Dan and Mike speak about two excellent stories! In "The Robots of Death," The Doctor, Leela, and the robotic D84 put a stop to a murderous scheme to end all human life. And in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang," a crazed time traveler who's stuck in Victorian London seeks his lost vessel, but activating it could destroy everything! From there, the two hosts discuss the spectacular 14th season, which just might be the best ever. (During which, Mike has...

The Doctor faces Sutekh, the most powerful, evil alien to have ever lived ("Pyramids of Mars"). Then he must stop an alien race from taking control of the planet ("The Android Invasion"). If the last plot sounds a little familiar (RE: generic), well, there's a reason for that.
