Empress of Mars - a podcast by Keir Hansen, Jay Witten, Haley Malle

This week, we look to Mark Gatiss one more time, perhaps the last time, to tell a Whovian tale in "The Empress of Mars". In a set of circumstances wonderfully unique to this program, our Doctor takes Bill and Nardole to the red planet in 1881, only to find the British Royal Army already there, making short work of crossing a very powerful -- and irascible -- queen. We discuss the deflation of patriarchy, the true villains of the tale (hint: they aren't reptilian), the restored glory of the Ice Warrior species, and the return of a Pertwee-era character that closes a wholly entertaining continuity loop.
