... in which the listeners have their say on Series 8.

It’s the end of another season of Flight Through Entirety, we’ve run out of money and no one really gives a crap anymore. So join us as we listlessly discuss the worst story of the 1980s: it’s Time-Flight.

Don’t buy the story!

Time-Flight was released on DVD in 2007. In the US, it was released on its own (Amazon US), but in the UK and Australia it was released along with Arc of Infinity in an unspeakably horrid box set (Amazon UK).

Notes and links

Brendan has written an essay on Time-Flight in the upcoming anthology Hating to Love: Re-evaluating the 52 worst Doctor Who Stories of All Time, edited by J R Southall of The Blue Box Podcast.

Cornell, Day and Topping are the authors of The Discontinuity Guide, a repository of hilarious facts about the classic series. Here’s their take on Time-Flight.

This French & Saunders sketch tells you everything you need to know about what went wrong with Doctor Who in the 1980s. Sorry about the crappy quality though.

Angela Clifford dragging the TARDIS around the Jurassic tundra, inevitably reminds Brendan of this scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Picks of the week

Brendan

Now that they’ve got rid of Tegan, the Doctor and Nyssa are free to go off on a series of Big Finish adventures. Brendan recommends Creatures of Beauty, but Circular Time and Spare Parts are also available.

Nathan

Two recommendations: @JohnnySpandrell’s brilliant Doctor Who blog, Random Whoness, and the elegiac non-Euclidean puzzler game Monument Valley, availabl on both iOS and Android.

Richard

The children’s books of E. Nesbit, an English children’s author whose books were published in the early twentieth century, including The Railway Children, Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet and The Woodbegoods.

Brendan is on Twitter as @brandybongos, Nathan is @nathanbottomley, Todd is @toddbeilby, and Richard is @RichardLStone. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast.

We’re also on Facebook, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on iTunes, or we’ll beset you with bipedal fibreglass turds and bubbles of Fairy Liquid until you agree to watch Time-Flight again. This side of madness or the other.

Doctor Who in 10 Seconds

While Brendan edits the next episode of Doctor Who in 10 Seconds, in which he speedily summarises the delightfully strange and groundbreaking Doctor Who Series 5, why not take the opportunity to watch all of the previous videos in the series by checking out the playlist on YouTube?

Bondfinger

Next weekend we’ll be recording our commentary on Moonraker (1979) for release the following weekend, so there’s that to look forward to, I guess. While you wait, you can listen to our previous commentaries, including The Spy Who Loved Me, The Man with the Golden Gun and Live and Let Die. You can find all of our commentaries on our website, and you can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

We're joined in the marble halls of The Whoseum this week by Marc (for it is he) Atkinson of the Progtor Who Podcast.

Marc arrived driving a forklift as it was the only way he could transport his item for exhibition and discussion - the "Doctor Who: The Vault" book from the 50th anniversary.

We also look at Ed Stradling's trilogy of musical blockbusters, "The Doctor Who Years" tapes.

Along the way, Hayden and Marc chat about music while the Whoseum computer translates for a confused and unmusical Doc. We remember the taste of Dalek Death Ray ice lollies from the 1970s. And Hayden relates yet another jammy anecdote from his life.

SHOWNOTES

Our guest this week is Marc Atkinson of the Progtor Who podcast. Mark first joined Hayden on Diddly Dum episode 051 "Podcasters Assemble 2". Marc's Twitter account can be found here and the Progtor Who Twitter account can be found here. Marc's band is Riversea.

(00:37:40) "Doctor Who: The Vault" by Marcus Hearn was released for Doctor Who's 50th anniversary.

(00:43:55) Our co-host (when he turns up), Matt recently interviewed Louise Jameson (Leela) at the Fab Cafe in Manchester. Footage of his interview can be found on Youtube here (part 1) and here (part 2) and includes in the background at one point the TV commercial for the Denys Fisher Doctor Who toy range from 1977.

(00:49:00) "The Amazing World of Doctor Who" - other pictures on our Tumblr page here.

(00:51:22) "The Doctor Who Years" was a streaming video, charting the history of Doctor Who, which was broadcast on BBCi's official Doctor Who website to coincide with the return of the series to BBC Television screens in 2005, and was intended to present a potted history of the original Doctor Who series, broadcast between 1963-1989. The video was presented in three parts, The Sixties, The Seventies and The Eighties, and featured material from every Doctor Who serial, presented chronologically and accompanied by narrative text and pop music that had featured in the UK Singles Chart at the time the clips were originally broadcast. The Sixties was produced by SVS, The Seventies and The Eighties were produced by Ed Stradling. The videos were commissioned by James Goss, then editor of the BBCi's Doctor Who website.

If you want any advice or where these videos can be found online, email us at diddlydumpodcast@yahoo.co.uk.

(01:03:45) Jon Pertwee arriving in Bessie at Billy Smart's Circus.

(01:08:16) Russell Brand exchanging barbs with Bob Geldof.

In which there's actual baby death.

We're back to bi-weekly in this week's installment, and our livers thank us. And we thank them. With liquor. It's vicious cycle. This week, we head back to Torchwood for the first two episodes of Series Two, "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" and "Sleepers". Along the way Max also gets half in the bag (a plastic bag), we talk about British diversity, and Danica cries and cries and cries. Hurray!

Outro music is "Super Pretty Naughty" by Buck 65.

The first of an occasional series in which Ben and Mark take a look at films with tangential links to Doctor Who. To begin with though, it's a film with an overt link to Doctor Who, 1966's Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150AD to celebrate 50 years since it's UK release. Did the Daleks exterminate British cinema and is there a deeper, cultural reason behind the film's failure at the box office?

Episode 57 - Mark and Rob again set the way back machine to the late 80's for a full length episode of Dragged from the Archives. We crack open the fanzine vault and look back at contemporary reaction to Season 25, the recovery of missing episodes, the Ultimate adventure play and the new producer destined to bring the programme into the 90's!! All this plus we get all high-brow discussing Dr Who's mention in the Australian Financial Review and the bizarre parallels to the political situation in the UK and the 1985 cancellation crisis!
