NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 280: "Silver Nemesis" Is Up!

 
"I don't suppose you've completely ignored my instructions and secretly prepared any Nitro-9, have you?"
"What if I had?"
"And naturally, you wouldn't do anything so insanely dangerous as to carry it around with you, would you?"
"Of course not. I'm a good girl. I do what I'm told."
"Excellent. Blow up that vehicle."
-- The Seventh Doctor and Ace, Doctor Who: "Silver Nemesis"

Hello again, everyone! My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back with a new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast! This time, we're joined by special guest companion Holly Mac to discuss "Silver Nemesis", the third serial from Doctor Who Season 25 in 1988, featuring Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor, Sophie Aldred as Dorothy "Ace" McShane, and the return of the Cybermen!
