TDP 1386: 1. Sky: Before the Chaos REVIEW from @Bigfinish
Tin Dog PodcastREVIEW First broadcast in 1975, ITV children's series Sky followed a time-travelling alien boy with solid blue eyes and psychic powers, who found himself on Earth in the wrong period of history. Fifty years later, Sky has been reborn. But why now? And what does Sky want with the old man living in the sheltered accommodation who used to fight to save planet Earth from destroying itself... Apotheose Two teenagers, the executive of Youngwell Corporation, a discredited journalist and an old man in a nursing home are brought together when a mysterious voice calls from within an ancient burial mound in the heart of Stanton Cheyney. The crows are flying, the public are chanting, and something malevolent is about to make itself known... Deitropism Sky is reunited with old friends and is now a TV superstar. A spy has infiltrated Youngwell Corporation and Jack Diver is trying to uncover secrets. Someone has a secret wrapped inside their genes and someone else is going to discover that the trees are not quite what they seem... Calyx As the survivors of mankind struggle to live beneath the biomass of plant life that literally envelops the planet, cutting off the sunlight and the air, an old enemy of Sky’s finally manifests, determined to make things worse. As the hunt for the Juganet becomes more and more desperate, Bex Briggs discovers that one should never stand still for too long in this terrifying new world order... Sky created by Bob Baker & Dave Martin © 1975 Recorded on: 15-17 January 2025 Recorded at: The Soundhouse Video: Writer, director and co-producer Gary Russell said: "There's a golden decade of kids' TV between 1972 and 1982, much of it produced by HTV and Patrick Dromgoole, often written by Bob Baker and Dave Martin. One of those gems was Sky, a show that displayed an intelligence and sophistication that many other ITV companies tried to emulate, but rarely did. "The ultimate outsider, Sky was neither good nor evil, neither a hero nor a villain. The same goes for the other characters around him: Arby, Goodchild, the Briggs family – there are marvellous moral ambiguities about all of them. "I love the original; it was a show I had grown up on and seen a thousand times, because I've got it on a nice shiny disc. Jason Haigh-Ellery turned around to me one day and said, 'Look, we've got the rights from Bob Baker to do a new version of Sky.' I think he could see the passion and fervour and begging in my eyes. He said, 'Do you want to do it?', and I said yes, because I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I'd been thinking since 1975 about what you could do with this show, so I was very keen to sit down and get on with it. "Jason said to me, 'Do you want to do a remake?', and I said 'No, I want to do a sequel.' I wanted to pick the story up 50 years later, and therefore I knew that the only character I needed to bring back – other than Sky, obviously – was Arby. The idea of Arby, the hero of the original, being this broken old man sitting in a nursing home somewhere – I thought, that’s your good launch pad. It's about a redemption for him." "To be asked to find out what happened next, and the effect Sky's parting gift to Arby might have on a human, was too good an offer to say no to. I love these characters passionately and it's a joy to be able to tell these latest chapters in their lives – the first audio serial I've ever written for Big Finish." His co-producer Dominic G. Martin added: "The tale of Sky is an absolute belter of a story! I was born long after it aired, and despite growing up on a lot of classic TV, I only learned about Sky from Gary Russell. Hearing that Bob Baker and Dave Martin were the original serial's writers made me instantly excited to get involved. "It's a such a fascinating concept that you could pull off in any era with all its mysteries and dynamic characters. The whole cast was magnificent in the recordings – they were such a delight to work with, and I would love to think that the new series is not only a loving tribute to the work of Baker and Martin, but also builds on that grand story that they set up back in the 1970s, while keeping it accessible for a whole new generation to get immersed in." Lead actor Cloud Quinn takes over the role played by Marc Harrison in the original TV series. He said: "Sky definitely piqued my interest. I watched a little on YouTube and I read the novel of the original 1970 series, and I just loved the imagination of it. "It felt very challenging for children, but in a good way, opening their horizons to the big issues of the day around space flight and nuclear power and continuous industrialisation, and what that meant for the natural world – obviously that remains very, very relevant today. Edwin Flay, who plays Arby Vennor, added: "The audio revival is very well crafted in that you don’t need to have seen the original, but it grows from it, it feeds on it, and it brings all of the concerns very much up to date. The way our two characters have evolved from the original series and the journeys they’ve been on in the interim give it a lot of its meat for me, certainly. "In the original series, Arby Vennor was young, vibrant, and kind – a very straightforward, uncomplicated character – and now his experience has left him a broken shell. Exploring that, as he finds his drive and his sense of self again, has been a pleasure."

Review - The Black Hole
After a long break, Paul is back on the podcast to join Phil in looking at The Black Hole from Big Finish. In this second Doctor story, featuring Frazer Hines as the Doctor and Jamie McCrimmon and Deborah Watling as Victoria Waterfield, Phil and Paul were swept away in this story of people who are not who they claim to be and what the pair of them consider to be an ingenious use of time travel to tie this audio story to The Two Doctors.

Episode 110: More, Thomas! or A Chan for all Seasons tho
Something WhoPaul, Giles, Rick and Richard return for the second half of their discussion about two stories with masterly intent - 3rd Doctor outing Colony in Space from Season 8, which we discussed last time and 10th Doctor story Utopia from Series 3, which forms the bulk of this episode's chat. We'll decide whether they have colonial style, or require colonic irrigation. And whether, in fact, it's basically the same story twice over.
Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it, so we can build our listener base high for happiness. You can rate us directly on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser.com
Head over to https://www.bigfinish.com/, where we all love Paul's stories. His latest release is an Audio Novel called The Lord of Misrule featuring the Fourth Doctor, Romana, Jago and Litefoot and starring Jon Culshaw: https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-the-lord-of-misrule-3160
Rick posts on social media as @brickpandorica, where you can find fantastic pictures of his Lego models of Doctor Who moments. If this audio had been out in time we could have mentioned his appearance at the Calder Valley Brick Show. But if you missed that, he will also be at the Bricktastic show in Manchester on 22nd February.
Giles has 2 new children's books out, which you can find in all good bookshops and also at these links: Can We Live on Mars? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mind-Mappers-Mappers-Making-Difficult-Understand/dp/B0C65GDB4G/ and Spin to Survive: Deep Space Danger https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spin-Survive-Destiny-Pop-Out-Fortune/dp/0711287767/.
Richard's other podcast "If It's Hurting, It's not Working" is currently on hiatus, but it's a fun and informative look at work - why we work, how we work, and what makes a great job. And also what makes a great workplace, how to turn things round when we're not enjoying our work and, in the end, how we can all make our work better. For all episodes, go to https://ifhurtnotwork.podbean.com/ and https://ifhurtnot.work.
The Something Who logo, which features prominently on all our cover art was designed for us by Bea Garrido. She's a really talented artist, who you can find by following this link: https://beagarridoart.weebly.com/, where you can buy prints of some remarkable paintings of characters from Doctor Who.
The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.
