109: The Faceless Ones

Show Notes

"Now go on. Ben can catch his ship and become an Admiral and you, Polly, you can look after Ben." The Doctor reminds Ben and Polly they're back in 1966 – a time (and indeed date) menaced by War Machines, alien shape-shifters, Daleks and gender stereotyping.

They also have to contend with dodgy pilots, aliens with zero personality, lethal haberdashery and a cross-dressing Beatles lookalike. The Doctor gets the cold shoulder, Jamie gets snogged, Polly gets duplicated and Ben gets lost, while our plucky quasi-companion plays amateur sleuth, armed only with a sharp tongue and a crap hat. So do Jim and Martin think The Faceless Ones soars into the stratosphere or plummets like a zapped fighter pilot? Listen to find out.
