Yes, friends, we have been talking about reviewing The Web of Fear since before Gallifrey One this year, we were going to talk about it during our Gally coverage, but stars aligned such that we're finally now getting to it. And that's for the best because it's a story that deserves our full attention. We have the return of Professor Travers and the Yeti, we have the introduction of Col. Lethbridge-Stewart (who was almost played by someone else!), and we have our marvelous TARDIS team. What more could we ask for? Well, to have episode three returned from private hands, that's for sure!

Summary:

Adam J Purcell, Andy Simpkins and Keith Dunn sit down, split, in front of 2021 Doctor Who episode ‘The Vanquishers’, and spout our usual nonsense!

The Sontarans are double crossing, Karvanista loses a lot of family and the Doctor’s straddling three time zones. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy The Vanquishers…

February 2022 saw the release of Doctor Who: Short Trips Volume 11. - https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-short-trips-volume-11-2362

This time we speak with Aussie writer Paul F. Verhoeven, who has contributed the story "Fear of Flying" to the set. 

We find out some of Paul's history and talk about his long-term fandom, especially of Big Finish, and how he got the writing gig in the first place. 

Our strong suspicion is that this won't be the last we hear from Paul.

We open by paying tribute to two big names from the Doctor Who family who we lost this past week, an actor from the 1970s and a writer from the 1960s.

In the first part of the program, Jason -- having run out of blog posts to adapt, had to write half of this week's script from scratch -- takes us on a journey through Terrance Dicks' word-pictures, editorial additions and omissions, and lyrical evocation of the senses, in his novelization of "Planet of the Spiders", which is set half on a planet of the spiders, and half on a planet of the Buddhists.

In the second part of the program, Jason is joined by Graeme Burk from "Reality Bomb" to discuss the book, the origins of our Target collections, Graeme's memorable weekend with Terrance Dicks in the year 2000, whether or not the Eighth Doctor Adventures books stand the test of time... and Graeme joins me in a new segment, a game of Twenty Questions, before announcing his latest book.

Please listen to the special Terrance Dicks episode of Reality Bomb.

You can also find some of Graeme's acclaimed Doctor Who non-fiction here.

This week's episode features the vocal talents of Dooley Wilson.

SHOWNOTES

(00:00:00) This podcast opens with the theme music from “On The Move” (see below).

(00:18:33) “This Is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor” is a nonfiction book by the British comedy writer Adam Kay, published in 2017. It is a collection of diary entries written by Kay during his medical training from 2004 to 2010. This has been televised as “This Is Going to Hurt”.

(00:20:28) Addenbrooke’s Hospital is an internationally renownedteaching hospital and research centre in Cambridge, with strong affiliations to the University of Cambridge.

(00:24:54) “A Fix with Sontarans” is a specially written Doctor Who segment produced for the BBC children’s programme “Jim’ll Fix It” featuring Colin Baker in character as the Sixth Doctor. It was broadcast on 23 February 1985. Later pressings of the Region 2 DVD removed the segment due to the Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal.

(00:29:30) Barry Cryer (23 March 1935 – 25 January 2022) was an English writer, comedian, and actor. As well as performing on stage, radio and television, Cryer wrote for many performers including Dave Allen, Stanley Baxter, Jack Benny, Rory Bremner, George Burns, Jasper Carrott, Tommy Cooper, Ronnie Corbett, Les Dawson, Dick Emery, Kenny Everett, Bruce Forsyth, David Frost, Bob Hope, Frankie Howerd, Richard Pryor, Spike Milligan, Mike Yarwood, The Two Ronnies and Morecambe and Wise. The interview with Mark Lawson can be seen here.

(00:35:25) Donald Gee (28 September 1937 – 14 January 2022) appeared in two Doctor Who television stories: as Major Ian Warne in “The Space Pirates” and Eckersley in “The Monster of Peladon“.

(00:35:55) “On the Move” is a British television series made by the BBC and first broadcast in 1975 and 1976 in 50 ten-minute episodes. On the surface a lightweight soap opera, it was in fact an educational programme aimed at adults with literacy problems, and linked to a national campaign at the time. Up to 17 million people watched the series, and it was credited with removing some of the stigma attached to illiteracy.

(00:37:10) Jeremy Irons made an early career appearance on the BBC’s “Playaway” in 1975.

(00:39:02) “Vision On” was a British children’s television programme, shown on BBC1 from 1964 to 1976 and designed specifically for children with hearing impairment. The music under Doc’s little homily at this point is “Left Bank One” by The Noveltones which was the music accompanying the “Gallery” section of “Vision On”.
