114: The Sontaran Experiment

“I’ve lost my sonic screwdriver. I feel completely lost without it.” Lost? Modern Doctors would need resuscitating. Yes, it’s back to basics with The Sontaran Experiment, wherein hairy rock dwellers set traps, chuck rocks and threaten people with hot sticks. Undeterred, Sarah channels Margo Leadbetter, Harry tries out some mucus-based medicine and the Doctor whistles the Spitting Image classic “I’ve Never Met A Nice South African.” Meanwhile Styre suffers from short man syndrome and displays his confusion at having a female boss by torturing men, wearing guyliner and fouling his own living space. It all leaves him a tad deflated. But at least everyone gets to take a breather and watch two newcomers have a roll in the heather. Not like that. So did Jim and Martin enjoy the overcast uplands of The Sontaran Experiment or did they fake collarbone fractures to escape watching it? Find out here.
