The Quest is almost over!  This is the last full season episode as I review Series 7.  It was a very long season and you could almost say it was two seasons rolled into one with a Christmas episode to bridge the gap.

The Quest was to watch and review every Doctor Who episode before the 50th anniversary.  Since that's tomorrow, I've just made it under the wire.  Thank you all so very much for your support and your enthusiasm and a special thanks to each and every guest who appeared on this show along the way.  I am very grateful.

Next week, the Quest comes to a close as I review the 50th anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor.

If you'd like to send in some audio to appear on the final episode, please send it to:

It's all things Colin Baker and none other than Ian "The 6th Doctor" Bisset to discuss Season 22 with me, of course!  We discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of Colin Baker's first season and see possibly why it got taken off the airwaves for a year and a half.  Enjoy!

It's time for Season 5 and the Season of Monsters!  If the Great Intelligence is something new to you, check this season out to see where it all began.  Even the Ice Warriors were born this year.  The Cybermen are here as well.....hey, this is starting to sound a lot like the 2013 season.....hmm....

It's the end of an era.....and the beginning of a new one!  It's Episode 4 and enter the Second Doctor, Patrick Troughton.  With only ten surviving episodes, this season was mostly reconstructions....but I survived.  So listen up for the birth of the Cybermen, the return of the Daleks, and very first regeneration.
