Was the initial reaction to viewing the episodes harsh? Sourcing comments from the Facebook thread on the episode, we add some context, underline a few points, and possibly even concede a few things. As stated at the time, Christian and James have different views on this, which makes it all the more interesting. Could The Daleks' Master Plan have been viewed differently if it had always existed in the hands of the BBC? Is the currency of scarcity something we need to understand better? Enjoy the podcast now on video, pick it up in audio format via Spotify, or wait until Monday for the public release on all platforms.
