The Ancient One Rises from the depths... in other words, host Toby Hadoke has just got out of bed. It means something more in this edition of Happy Times and Places though and the love-in continues and concludes. It's a shame that Allan Lear and Toby can't choose TEN favourite things! And script editor Andrew Cartmel is back for more insight and illumination. Let the chains of Fenric shatter!!!

Oh, it's lovely rediscovering a story one has always thought was OK but nothing special. It's Doctor who, of course it's special! And it's got Roger Delgado watching The Clangers, Jon Pertwee eating a sandwich during a swordfight, some cracking cliffhangers, and THAT shot of the Sea Devils emerging from the waves. But will some or any of these make it into the list of the story's best bits according to host Toby Hadoke and guest Steve Hatcher. Well, there's only one way to find out - dive in!

A welcome perspective from across the Pond, this time from long term supporter and patron Reuben Herfindahl who has chosen well loved story The Green Death. It's an envioronmental story - Save The Wales! - with a Green agenda... but it also has a long build up to Jo's departure, some clever intercutting exposition, and the Doctor's silly trip to Metebilis III. What's not to love? Thing is, there's so much to ACTUALLY love that choosing one thing is going to be hard.

Let's all go down the mine! Things aren't looking too good for Jo and Bert, and Dai is about to live up to his name. And we meet Fell, who will live up to his name in the next instalment. Lots of environmentally flavoured gorgoeuness here - but will guest Reuben be in accord with your host when it comes to choosing the best thing on show here?

It's part three of this cosy yet terrifying (how can you be both? Clever Doctor Who!) story about ecology, mad computers and the destruction of industry for profit. And mushrooms. And love. And Wales. Goodness - it's about everything. But which of the everythings will guest Reuben Herfindahl think is the best of the everythings this week? And will host Toby Hadoke agree?

Well now, this is comfort blanket Who of the highest order. The maggots are on the rampage, the dialogue is getting colourful and Mike Yates gets a special assignment. Oh there's no such thing as a guilty pleasure, and there's a lot here that host Toby Hadoke and guest Rueben herfindahl are fiunding pleasurable.

So, in this edition we have a scene that your host Toby Hadoke always forgets; a mixture of prodcution styles (often within the same scene); and a replacement actor. Oh many and varied are the joys of being a Doctor Who fan and watching something over and over again. But what could possibly be isloated as the best thing about this instalment? It definitely won't be the CSO hill the Brigadier and Benton are on, even thought they are backed up by a couple of very familiar faces (well, to the likes of Toby anyway).

Here we go, the end of an era. Special guest Reuben gives his favourite thing about episode six and then - two years later (such is the nature of these podcasts!) - his bonus thing. So charge your glasses and toast a departing companion, a single tear, and a ride off into the sunset.

And so the epic that is Marco Polo comes to a close. There's a pre-filmed fight, a new cast member who has worked with the director before, and a few attempts at a closing scene that don't make it into the finshed episode (which is the first instalment of Doctor Who not to end with a cliffhanger). It is also Waris Hussein's last contact with the programme, so he gets a well deserved profile here: one that we are very lucky to have been able to consult with him for. There is also another fascinating and educational insight into the life another key cast member, and an assesemnt of this, the very first comptely missing Doctor Who adventure. The Journey to Cathay may be over, but our fascination with it will never end...

Dalek and Cyber expert Gavin Rymill advocates for one of Doctor Who's less celebrated adventures : but one which comes with a lot of expectation due to it being an anniversary story. This one has it all - Nazis, Cybermen, Time Lord secrets, and Skinheads who don't like social workers. So, with this being a positive podcast, will gavin and host Toby Hadoke manage to find the gold amongst the Silver Nemesis?
