Listen "Episode 27 - The King's Demons"
Episode Synopsis
Séan and Ethan embark on a deep dive into the courtly intrigue and medieval mayhem of The King's Demons. In this episode, they explore the 1983 two-parter from the Fifth Doctor’s tenure, where the TARDIS lands amidst royal deception, swordplay, and a scheming Master in disguise.
With its rich historical backdrop, the sinister Kamelion's introduction, and questions of loyalty and manipulation, the duo delves into the story's thematic undertones, standout performances, and the quirky charm of its production. From the authenticity of its medieval setting to the larger implications of the Master's machinations, they debate what makes this short but fascinating adventure a gem—or a potential misstep—in the Doctor Who canon.
