- The Mind of Evil
- This week we begin with The Mind of Evil, a Third-Doctor-and-UNIT story where the Doctor and Jo visit
a remote prison to investigate a dangerous-sounding psychological technique being used to 'cure' criminal impulses.
Meanwhile, someone appears to be trying to sabotage the World Peace Conference...

- The Mind Robber
- The Second Doctor travels with Jamie (kilts) and Zoe (glittery catsuits) into the land of fiction.
See how they dealt with cast illness in the 1960s - by recasting a companion for an entire episode! Metatextuality,
referentiality, and other things likely to please English students abound.

- Warriors of the Deep & The End of the World
- A Peter Davison story featuring nasties like Silurians, Sea Devils, and Turlough, teamed
with a Ninth-and-Rose story about - you guessed it! - the end of the world. The theme of this meeting appears
be "stories with 'of the' in the title".

- The Geek Quiz
- Once again we return to battle for the crown of geekiest of the geek societies, as
representatives from DocSoc, TolkSoc, OUSFG, AnimeSoc, and others, convene to ask each one another rounds of
questions.

- Robot & Dalek
- Another shockingly clever theme - single-word two-syllable episode-names. Robot is
fourth Doctor Tom Baker's first story, featuring regeneration effects, Sarah Jane Smith, Harry Sullivan, and
the Brigadier, while the Ninth-and-Rose story Dalek contains what
mediawatch-uk (think Mary Whitehouse) called "a sado-masochistic
torture scene". Enjoy!
