The Krotons

(Series 6, Episodes 19-22)

Summary: Join us this week on Doctor Who where the titular Krotons have been designed by small children.  Like all good bad guys, they’re oppressing a primitive population.  The Doctor and Zoe have a nerd-off and Jamie overcompensates for his inferior brain power by starting fights.  Chemistry, Physics' unglamorous cousin, wins the day and the hereditary patriarchy is restored.  Thank goodness.

Watch it because: “Great jumping gobstoppers!” The Second Doctor at his bonkers best.
