Doctor Who Review: The Hungry Earth & Cold Blood | Eleventh Doctor & Silurians

The Earth Station Who crew welcomes special guest Dave Chapman as we travel back to the Matt Smith era of Doctor Who to review the Eleventh Doctor's two-part adventure, "The Hungry Earth" and "Cold Blood."

Originally airing during Doctor Who Series 5, these episodes bring back the legendary Silurians, an ancient civilization living beneath the Earth's surface. When a drilling operation threatens their world, the Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond, and Rory Williams find themselves caught in a conflict between two species fighting for survival.

Join us as we explore the return of these classic Doctor Who monsters, the moral dilemmas, memorable performances, and emotional twists that make this adventure an important chapter in Matt Smith's run as the Doctor. How well does this two-part story hold up today?

This episode is dedicated to the memory of John Leeson, the beloved voice of K9, who passed away at age 83. His unforgettable contribution to Doctor Who and its fans will live on for generations.

Join us for another entertaining journey through time and space on Earth Station Who, part of the ESO Network!
