Who Corner to Corner: Great guests and 100% positive Doctor Who chat!

In the absence of any new Doctor Who on the TV - and given that Geoff still hasn't watched The Daleks' Master Plan episodes that were recently recovered and shown on BBC iPlayer (so the boat has sailed on that one!) - we asked our listeners and followers on social media to ask their BURNING QUESTIONS that we could answer on the podcast. 
And then Geoff suggested we talk about which SONIC SCREWDRIVER is the best one. He even had an answer prepared! 
Thankfully, by the time of recording our listeners came up trumps and we had quite a bit more to discuss than the Doctor's magic wand, and what follows is one of the most bonkers (and slightly sweary) podcasts we've ever committed to audio - or video, if you're watching on YouTube. 
And if you're wondering - yes, Paul did manage to catch The Dalek's Master Plan episodes and yes we do actually talk about them here amongst plenty of other interesting topics which we know you'll enjoy!  
Of course the BIG QUESTION really is... Just who is Dave Tomato-Fingers? 
You have been warned...
