249 - Drunktor Spooktober - But First The Daemon Drink

Welcome to the first episode of our folk horror themed mini-series that we’re calling “Drunktor Spooktober” (my preferred spelling was going to be “Spwhoktober” but I knew Steve wouldn’t let me get away with that... sad face) where we watch (hopefully) scary Doctor Who stories from the classic era. This episode we watch a 1971 story, “The Daemons” where the Third Doctor encounters forces totally of the non-demonic variety. Seriously. Whilst the writers bend over backwards not to offend any deity followers, the Doctor gets pissy with just about everybody, Jo gets demeaned by just about everybody, and the Master gets everybody prepped to commit some good old fashioned violence. Like the Medieval witch burning kind. Good times.
