"Waaaaauughhhh...MICE!"

Jim and Martin put Time and the Rani on hold and instead take a look at something good - the 1973/74 Jon Pertwee season 11 opener, The Time Warrior.

It's a medieval tale of a toad-faced alien warrior and a war-mongering, wine-swilling robber baron with time travel and Dot Cotton thrown into the mix. Not only the first Sontaran story, but also the first time the Doctor's home planet is named. And, of course, it features the first appearance of the wonderful Elizabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith.

Join us as we salute Liz and discover whether or not her first story is up to scratch.
