Summary

This episode of *New To Who* focuses on a retrospective of the Doctor Who serials “New To Who” and “The Spearhead From Space,” specifically examining the Auton invasion – giant, hairless, sightless plastic-modelled humans controlled by the malevolent NESTENE CONSCIOUSNESS. The episode also includes a roundtable discussion with several podcasters, including Liz Myles and Paul Cornell from the Hammer House of Podcast, Nathan Bottomley, Jeremy Radick, Ben and David from Metebelis II, Christopher Burgess, Katrina Griffiths, Erik Stadnik, Dave Kitchen, and others, to analyze the Hinchcliffe and Holmes era of Doctor Who – a period considered by many to be a “golden age,” but also acknowledged as having some problematic elements.
