Things are a bit Timey Wimey and Chan and Riley discuss the second episode of the first series of the Doctor Who reboot, recorded before the new Doctor was announced but released after, making it the perfect closed loops.

Our Starter Kit continues with the Tenth Doctor. Chan and Riley are joined by TV host J. Keith Van Straaten as they chew their way through this series two episode "Tooth and Claw."
