0:52.6	is a villain a monster or a villain? Look, this is the guy who says that the dance the robot is a robot. I'm going to leave it to my panelists to decide how they interpret what you would pick in a Doctor Who Monster draft. And now I would like to introduce them to you in the order that they were selected by our friends at random.org. Thank you to them.

1:37.5	I'm second. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If it's competitive, I don't know how this is going to go. It might not be competitive at all, or it might be fiercely competitive.
1:46.3	After Erica will be Gene McDonald. Hello.
1:50.2	Yay. I was kind of hoping to be in the top three because I have at least three that I'm super excited to talk about.
1:56.7	That's good. That's good. Picking fourth will be Liz Miles. Oh, thank goodness. If any of you three picks my first pick, I'm going to be very angry. Very angry and very ill at you.
2:09.1	Yeah. It's not good. It's not good. It's not good. It's not competitive at all here, obviously. No. Okay. Maybe it maybe it is now. I knew when we got to Liz, it would be competitive.
