About this episode
Last week's vast wasteland of not-news has been replaced by a verdant jungle of news-news, most notably the announcement of Segun Akinola as the new composer for Doctor Who! Plus Matt Smith comes to Edmonton, and comics and calendars that sort of feature Jodie Whittaker or flat-out don't. There's other news of course, but this is a mere tease to part one of our commentary for the Jon Pertwee story "The Green Death", so dive back with us to June 1973 and hippies, environmentalism, and giant maggots!
