We bring the curtain down on Doctor Who's sixtieth anniversary year with a look back at the show's twentieth anniversary epic - 1983's The Five Doctors. Along the way we consider the malleability of the First Doctor, whether any directorial notes were given for THAT High Council scene, and what we actually want from an anniversary anyway.

Read Dave Owen's review of The Five Doctors from 2003 here.

This week, we're looking at Twelfth Doctor two-parter The Zygon Invasion and The Zygon Inversion, and - going out on a real limb here - consider whether it might possibly have some sort of socio-political subtext. Along the way, we indulge in some uninformed speculation on show-runners that could have been, throw mild shade at The Thick of It, and consider the usefulness of an on-the-nose metaphor.

We're back! And what better way to mark our triumphant return to your ears - and now eyes! - than one of the most consequential Doctor Who stories of all time? This week we unpack Tenth Doctor classic Blink. Along the way, we speculate on what a rare DVD business might stock, extol the virtues of seizing the moment, and consider whether making Doctor Who is ultimately just an exercise in throwing stuff against the wall.

It's the end! And the moment has been reached with our signature lack of preparation. Thankfully we've still got two blockbuster Doctor Who stories to enjoy in our sequeltastic season finale - the Fourth Doctor's first encounter with Davros in Genesis of the Daleks, and the Twelfth Doctor's return to Skaro in The Magician's Apprentice and The Witch's Familiar.

Thanks so much for joining us over the last six weeks - it's the last episode in the season, but we'll be back in the not too distant future. If you've been enjoying the show, please leave us an Apple Podcasts review, and do drop us an email to hello@illexplainlater.com - we'd love to hear from you.

We'll be back - keep 'em peeled!

It's the "Of Death" special! In perhaps our most tenuously-themed episode yet, we discuss the uncanny valley, AI and helium as we consider Fourth Doctor classic The Robots of Death, then we switch mediums entirely to cop a load of X-rated VR while untangling the knots in our minds as we indulge ourselves in Third Doctor radio romp The Paradise of Death. (The latter nearly inspired us to upload last week's episode again in a high concept practical joke, but we thought better of it.) Plus we unveil a brand new game show format, exclusively for our listeners.

It's our last episode in the season next week - so "X" your comments to us here or drop us an email here. See you at the curtain call...

It's a Welsh special on this week's I'll Explain Later as we hop across the border to enjoy two stories that put Wales at the heart of the action - the Ninth Doctor's tense trip to Boomtown, and the Third Doctor's iconic brush with The Green Death.

Email your thoughts and questions to hello@illexplainlater.com or "X" us at @explainlaterpod - and we'll be back next week with another pair of adventures whose breadth and depth are perfectly proportioned for the small screen.

It's a dastardly double bill on this week's I'll Explain Later as we look back on the Doctor's encounters with two diabolical masterminds - Professor Zaroff, in aquatic Second Doctor caper The Underwater Menace, and The Sixth Master (as no-one calls him) in apocalyptic Tenth Doctor series finale The Sound of Drums / Last of the Time Lords. Can anything in the world stop us now? With our erratic release schedule, probably, but do check back next week for our next exciting episode...
