    About this Episode

    Episode 57 of the Doctor Who: Alhambra Podcast

    Brett and Liam review the classic Doctor Who story, Earthshock, focusing mainly on the audio to see if this story is just as good if you don't have the visuals.  We do this because Liam is blind, and this is how he watches classic Doctor Who, as there currently isn't any audio description with any of the old series.
