84. ADVENT 24: DR WHO

Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Today sees the opening of the twenty-fourth and final door of our robot advent calendar. And what's inside? Why, it's our old friend and Doctor Who nerd, Niel Bushnell, and he's here to warm himself by our fire and receive a Christmas gift of knowledge. Happy Christmas.
