NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 163: "The Long Game" Is Up!

"The thing is, Adam, time travel is like visiting Paris.  You can't just read the guide book. You've got to throw yourself in, eat the food, use the wrong verbs, get charged double and end up kissing complete strangers -- or is that just me?  Stop asking questions.  Go and do it!"
-- The Ninth Doctor to Adam Mitchell, Doctor Who: "The Long Game"

Hello again, everyone!   Special guest companion Hannah Skorapa makes her debut on Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast to help me discuss "The Long Game", the seventh episode from Doctor Who Series One in 2005, starring Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor, Billie Piper as Rose Tyler, Bruno Langley as Adam Mitchell, and Simon Pegg as The Editor!
