TOPIC: Doctor Who (Series 1 episodes 1-13)
After having seen the entire first Season/Series for the very first time, Ben gave his impressions and thoughts on Christopher Eccleston's performance and character in the 2005 continuation of this iconic series episode by episode. He also noted that while the animation was somewhat cheesy and overdone at times, there was some good acting such as John Barrowman's and Simon Pegg's that helped it along.
Zac gave his thoughts on Eccleston's versatility as an actor (from hero in Doctor Who to villain in Thor: The Dark World) along with how it's his preferred method to introduce someone to the series. Better to start from the beginning in a series, particularly one involving time travel. He also noted the episode The End of the World was an inspiration to Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode Voyage of Temptation.
Ben's Favorite Episode: The Doctor Dances
Zac's Favorite Episode: Father's Day
Quote of the Night:
"You know, one day, just one day, maybe, I'm going to meet someone who gets the whole ‘don't wander off’ thing. Nine hundred years of phone box travel, it's the only thing left to surprise me." - Episode The Empty Child

#BBQWatch: What are the best drinks that go with BBQ?
A large consensus of listeners - along with Ben and Zac - agreed that Sweet Tea and Root Beer were the most popular drinks to accompany a good BBQ meal, but not the only ones. They agreed a drink with BBQ should not overpower the meal, but should be able to accompany any sauce and any meat, regardless of what was being consumed.
What drinks do you find most enjoyable when you eat BBQ? Leave us a comment or post on our facebook wall.
