Doctor Who: Harry Sullivan Is An Imbecile

The Imbeciles are back after a long hiatus with a verbally-packed discussion on the oft-used Doctor Who trope, The Base Under Siege. Thrill as we discuss The Moonbase, The Horror of Fang Rock, and The Waters of Mars. We also kick around the prominent (not really) fan theory that Terrance Dicks is DW's answer to Tony Montana. Click here to hear Adam and Brian discuss The Horror of Fang Rock on The Watch-A-Thon of Rassilon podcast. "All I have in this world is my bawls and my word, and I don’t break them for no one." -- (not) Uncle Tewwance.   Libsyn: imbecilepod.libsyn GET SOCIAL!

Some call them useless. Others call them underdeveloped. Whatever you call them, there's a certain few companions who have travelled with the Doctor that made fans think... "Why?" In this enthralling episode, Adam and Brian take a special look at four distinctly underwhelming companions: Katarina, Dodo, Kamelion, and Mel (a computer programmer from Pease Pottage). What happened that these four spectacularly failed to grasp the audiences' interest? We're not afraid to ask the tough questions, that's for sure.   GET EPISODES! iTunes: HSIAI Libsyn: imbecilepod.libsyn GET SOCIAL!

With Adam still recovering from being sick and Brian being generally run down, to say nothing of the Doctor Who anniversary weekend and Chicago TARDIS and stuff..., your beloved Imbeciles are phoning with this week's episode.  Recorded back in July of this very year(!), this was the one that set us on the path of nattering on about our beloved program. Granted, it's a bit, it squeaks a bit, and I think you can see a stagehand at one point. Despite all of its shortcomings -- or because of them -- we hope you'll enjoy it.   iTunes: HSIAI Libsyn: imbecilepod.libsyn Facebook: ImbecilePod Twitter: ImbecilePod Adam Brian Tumblr: ImbecilePod
