Classic Rewatch: The War Machines - a podcast by Keir Hansen, Jay Witten, Haley Malle

This week, our GPR team foolishly boots up WOTAN to rewatch the Hartnell serial, "The War Machines". With last moments spent with a brainwashed Dodo, and incoming (unexpected) companions Polly and Ben, there's literally terror on the streets of London, as the metal fist-wielding, death-steam belching war machines play havoc with the British populace, at least until an electromagnetic wrestling ring can be constructed around one. Our esteemed First Doctor feels right at home as an impromptu field general, and shows sides of his complex persona we may not witness again until his Third visage is put in play. Seem a little unusual? It certainly is, and we're right in the thick of it to enjoy the highs and the lows of this rather unorthodox classic story.
