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.
