Series Six of Doctor Who continues, and begins with the Doctor receiving a mysterious message via the Psychic Paper asking to be “saved from the monsters.” Along with companions Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill), the trio trace the message to a multi-story set of flats in a council estate area of England, where they find the young boy who sent the plea of his fears across the cosmos: George (Jamie Oram).
But as the Doctor begins investigating the strange case of George, Amy, and Rory disappear and find themselves in a mysterious wooden Victorian home being chased by creepy “life-size” wooden dolls with malicious intents. The deeper the trio delve into the confusion, the more they discover the horrible truth: George’s monsters are real. But where are they coming from?
During TARDISblend 36, we review the events of Night Terrors, a return to form for writer Mark Gatiss. Within the episode itself, we look especially closely at Smith’s flawless performance as The Doctor, evoking elements of previous Doctors, in a manner that made it his own, looking upon the galaxy with the old eyes of a Time Lord.
Also during the show, we bring you an exclusive clip from Geeks Of Doom of Sylvester McCoy performing Smith’s Pandorica monologue during Dragon*Con 2011. We also refer to the infamous Dimensions In Time charity episode from 1993 featuring the first seven Doctors (well, five of them at least).
Later in the podcast, we bring you some Classic Doctor Who recommendations, and then speculate on the significance of the number 32 in the current series…
All this and more on the latest TARDISblend!
Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from The Social Blend Podcast) and Tom Cheredar (Tched from The Drill Down Podcast) TARDISblend is a podcast that takes a look at the ongoing adventures in the Doctor Who Universe – as Matt Smith makes his journey as the Eleventh Doctor!
Also, there was the chilling children’s sing-song at the end that mentioned the Doctor dying.

Interesting and possibly telling moment from the end of the episode. The Doctor says “good to all be together again in the flesh.” Meaningless? I doubt it. The Doctor that died, I’m betting, was Flesh. The person who killed him was, I’m betting, the real Doctor.
