Episode 84: A Cracking Tale

As our guest, we've got author Simon Guerrier and this time we're looking at two stories that introduce new companions - 1st Doctor story The Rescue from Season 2, and the 11th Doctor's debut in The Eleventh Hour from Series 5. This episode consists of the second half of that conversation, primarily featuring The Eleventh Hour.
