Is there anything more to be said about this classic? Host Toby Hadoke sometimes worries that with the more established stories he's just saying out loud what everyone else has thought forever - but hey-ho. There's much to love in this episode which is grim, funny, and extremely well made. But will Erica Lear choose the same thing as Toby, or is he looking for a very fancy needle in an absolutely gorgeous haystack?
Oh, and one point of trivia, as he was struggling to find something interesting to say in the post credits bit he actually turned 49 without realising it (yes, he works on his birthday! That's dedication). Gulp. See if you can hear him age... :)

Oh it is an embarrassment of riches this one - but surely there is only one obvious choice as the best thing about this episode. It's one of the very best examples of its kind isn't it? You'd have to be as batty as a fruitcake not to choose... oh, did you meet this week's guest, Erica Lear, by the way? Anyway, as I was saying, you'd have to be as batty as a fruitcake...

So goodbye Doctor Five - it's been fun. Though there's not a lot of actual fun to be had in this story, because it's pretty grim. And yet, of course, brilliant. One of the acknowledged classics of Doctor Who. So will your guest Erica Lear and your host Toby Hadoke choose the same things as their favourites from the episode and the story as a whole? Well, unless Erica has regenerated recently it's unlikely, because her's is bound to be something to do with Peter Davison being sexy, and that tends not to be the sort of thing that Toby usually goes for.

Well it's all getting a bit silly these days isn't it? Doctor Who's first attempt at an all out comedy finds us languishing in a Roman villa, Ian and Barbara getting rat-arsed (and a bit flirty), the Doctor indulging in wordplay and Vicki thirsting for adventure. Special guest - and You Tube sensation - Josh Snares has chosen a very particular way of doing this - but will that make it any easier for your host to guess his guest's favourite things...

All Roads Lead To... a curious mix of the farcical and the sadistic, as cruel Rome is also a place for hilarious hi-jinks. What will our guest, You Tuber Josh Snares, the doyen of Doctor Who online videos, choose as their favourite thing in an episode which spoils us for choice?

This starts to get farcical - deliberately so - and the series has a rare event : a comedy death. And the victim of this hilarious murder has another claim to fame involving a Doctor Who historical. But never mind the historical, let's get hysterical thanks to Dennis Spooner, Derek Francis and everyone else conspiring to make this one of Doctor Who's most amusing near half hours. But will You Tuber extraordinaire Josh Snares be amused, and if so, will said amusement also tickle the funny bone of your host, Toby Hadoke?

Burn baby Burn, it's a Roman inferno. So will Josh Snares manage to shoot host Hadoke down in flames or will he be on fire as he storms to victory? You can probably guess but you never know - especially as Josh has kindly left clues as to the kind of choices they are making regarding this story. There's lots of love for the Hartnell era as this one guffaws to its end - and its a timely release, with Toby recording his contribution during the story's 58th anniversary and the release of the Season 2 box set on Blu-ray.

If you enjoyed the latest Happy Times and Places, on The Romans, then enjoy this interview with one of its cast members : Poppea herself, actress, writer and prolific TV director Kay Patrick who talks about working with William Hartnell and Christopher Barry, and about her fascinating and impressive career as a whole.

There's a wonderful advocate for this latest episode under the cheery microscope in the form or the delightful artist Millie McKenzie. Whether your host rises to the challenge of shouting this episode's praises from the rooftops is open to debate though. It's trickier for an ageing fan - your host Toby Hadoke - who has seen classic Who millions of times, to remain relentlessly positive during less familiar and more modern episodes, but let's see how he does eh?

Charles Norton, who has been the producer on a number of the acclaimed animations on the Doctor Who DVD and Blu-ray range, has chosen this milestone story from Doctor Who's 25th anniversary season. This has it all: explosions, cool exterminations, nostalgia, and misspelling. So why was young Toby hadoke so cross with it? And surely now they're all grown up Charles and Toby can put aside any differences of opinion and exterminate any discord?
