Ep 76 - Soldiering On

Published: June 10, 2015, 11:30 a.m.

b'This week\'s topic is one we\'ve touched on a bit, but we thought it deserved its own episode. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we talk about companions who were also soldiers (or soldierey or soldier-adjacent). Naturally, there\'s a lot of UNIT talk, but there are more soldier-companions than you might think. What do you think of the military companions? And how do you feel about the Doctor\'s ever-evolving reaction to soldiers? Let us know in the comments! ^E\\xa0 Also covered [links on our site]: Tansy reads about Osgood as Missy\'s companion in a fanfic called "The Dread Pirate Missy"!
