Verity! Episode 36 - Run-of-the-Mill to Run-for-Your-Life

Published: Feb. 26, 2014, 1:30 p.m.

b'Steven Moffat is often praised for his ability to take perfectly normal everyday things and make them terrifying, but Doctor Who has a long history of such antics. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we chat about lots of mundane items we now give the side-eye, thanks to our beloved show. From angels to dolls to plastic policemen to telephones, the world is a scary place. Thanks Doctor Who! And in a strange bit of synchronicity, Deb tries to remember the title of a book she read as a youngster. After recording, she looked it up and discovered it was Mutant 59: The Plastic Eaters, by Kit Pedlar and Gerry Davis--the creators of her beloved Cybermen! Last, but certainly not least, we do our first Verity! giveaway, courtesy of Paul Cornell! Leave us a comment [on our website] to enter to win a signed copy of The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who! (We\'ll contact you via the email address used to leave the comment, so make sure it\'s a legit addy.) ^E Also covered [links on our site]: Lynne is grateful for the amazing support from her Doctor Who fandom friends as she and Michael spent time in the hospital with Caitlin Kat fangirls over Doctor Who Classics, Volume 9 from IDW, a nifty DW comic about a library planet! Erika is finally moving to Canada, and on the way she and her mom (aka Fangirl Prime) will be listening to Doctor Who audios including The Daleks\' Master Plan"! Deb is thrilled Paul McGann will be at Long Island Who!'
