WARNING: This commentary contains miscellaneous NüWho & Classic SPOILERS pertaining to Season 23 from November 1-22, 1986. If you are 100% spoilerphobic to New & Classic epsiodes not yet seen DO NOT complain to us.

Disclaimer:

• Eric introduces this episode as MHC 23.3. No you are not listening to the wrong commentary. Contrary to stated belief, this is still 23.2.
• When Eric says 'Pink Orchid' he obviously means 'Black Orchid.'
• Eric also mentions 'Time Flight.' Nope, wrong again. Actually 'Timelash' is the correct title being referenced.
• It sounds like the conversation is teetering on the EXPLICIT tag threshold near the very end, but it won't seem that way unless you have a dirty mind.

Josh, known as Kronos, I mean Josh, I mean Kronos does the worst Connery ever...

Does my backside look big in this kilt?

With no new Doctor Who to keep us busy, thank goodness that Big Finish keep providing us with audio releases to delight our ears during these lean months.

The team focuses their attention to reviewing three audios that saw the return of Jamie McCrimmon to the Doctor Who universe. City of Spires, Wreck of the Titan and Legend of the Cybermen.

We also have a fantastic interview thatJames conducted with Barnaby Edwards. Whilst he talks about his involvement with this trilogy, he also shares some hightlights of his extensive CV. We would put a copy of his CV up for you to look at, but it would overload the internet.

Warren returns to the fold this week, having thought he had escaped the worst that Doctor Who could offer by missing the commentary for Time-Flight last week. Instead, Hartnell-phobe Warren was given both barrels of black and white mediocrity in the form of The Keys of Marinus, one of the lesser lights of the debut season of Doctor Who from 1964. Actually, the Three Who Rule managed to keep themselves reasonably entertained throughout the first three episodes of Terry Nation's best non-Dalek script that he ever wrote for Doctor Who...until the thought of having to watch three more episodes next week brought everyone back down to Earth.

This time, we look at the two Big Finish Plays, 'Klein's Story' and 'Survival of the Fittest'. There's a smattering of feedback, including one from a little girl. And, due to the lack of meat to get our teeth into, DJ Bibblethruster is called out of retirement. So expect Shatner - you have been warned... Feedback to show@flashingblade.org.uk
