Ep 80 - Terrific Ally: Really Devoted Independent Spaceship

That's right, we're talking about the TARDIS again! We discussed her villainous tendencies with Lynne and Tansy last year. Now, join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we fold the TARDIS into our Year of Companions. We discuss the evolution of the TARDIS on-screen and how the Doctor's treatment of her varies by actor and era.

What's your favorite Doctor-TARDIS pairing? Do you have a favorite (least favorite?) moment between the Doctor and his "wife"? How do you feel about the blatant personification of the TARDIS in the new series? Let us know in the comments!

And be sure to head over to our commentary-picking post to help us determine what wonderful Doctor Who goodness we'll jabber all over! We've already hit our first informal Patreon goal of 120 supporters. We'll do a second commentary at 125!
