Much has been said about the 1964 Doctor Who serial The Sensorites. Not all of it positive. We at Doctor Who Literature are here to reverse that trend. The Sensorites is awesome. Except when it isn't, but when it lands, it really lands.

This week's guest is Black Archives writer Jon Arnold.

Here is one of Jon's many recent appearances on Strangers in Space.

Cover artist of The Sensorites novelization, Nick Spender, passed away recently.

SHOW NOTES

(00:09:50) Dalek Two Zero and Roboman who will be at the Rev’s wedding next year can be found here.

(00:12:30) Our own Doc and Mark can he heard guesting on Mark Cockram and Iain Martin’s “All Of Time And Space” podcast reviewing “The Krotons”.

(00;12:30) The multiple podcast blimps helping us to steal The National Museum of Wales can be heard here on our podcast #194.

(00:35:52) “A butcher’s” is short for “Butcher’s Hook” which is Cockney rhyming slang for “a look”. So “I had a butcher’s at” means “I had a look at”.

(00:38:16) The ICON/CON picture Mark is referring to can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(00:39:11) Then Prime Minister Theresa May walked onto the stage at the 2018 Conservative Party conference for her keynote speech by boogieing to “Dancing Queen”.

(00:56:46) The site we use to find transcripts of all Doctor Whop episodes ASAP is chakoteya.net.

(01:13:35) “The Frame” was a 24-issue fanzine that ran from February 1987 to Spring 1993. It was different from most other fanzines in that its articles tended to focus on production personnel — especially designers — who had previously been ignored by the fan community. It was further significant because its writers went on to publish professional Doctor Who works, some of which re-used the content of The Frame. It was edited and published by David Howe, Mark Stammers and Stephen James Walker. The cover which the Rev refers to here is that of issue 8 which can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(01:23:39) The “Television is bad for your eyes” sketch from S03E07 of “Monty Python”.

Em CARNIVAL OF MONSTERS, o 3º Doutor (Jon Pertwee) finalmente faz sua primeira viagem na TARDIS com sua companion Jo Grant (Katy Manning)! Mas o destino não é bem o que ele tinha em mente... Presos em um navio, eles descobrem que estão dentro de um Miniscópio, servindo de entretenimento alienígena nas mãos de Vorg e Shirna, dois artistas itinerantes do cosmos. Lá, eles devem enfrentar uma série de perigos, como os monstros conhecidos como Drashigs. Viajantes do alto-mar, alienígenas burocráticos e Ian Marter (que virá a ser o companion Harry Sullivan) em outro papel: vem com a gente nesse review!

This week on the show the 2024 Shada tour as myself and a few friends took in the sights and sounds of Cambridge, the filming location for Shada.

Apologies for the audio quality this week but the mike gain switch on my recorder got accidentally knocked before I started the tour, the problem is cured near the end of the show.

In this appropriately plus-sized Episode 79, Everyone was Screaming and Nobody was Happy, we cover all fourteen parts of The Trial of a Time Lord, and everything becomes very discursive, unclear, inconclusive, incoherent and incomprehensible, until it all sort of comes apart by the end. By which we mean that this Doctor Who story does that, not that our podcast does that. (Although our podcast also does do that.)

Listen as we discuss the history of the Doctor and his companions being done dirty by the BBC, and perk up as we all get kind of thirsty for Sabalom Glitz (and maybe the Master too a little bit).

It’s a long road but it’s worth your time (by which we mean that our podcast is that)!

As is traditional after we do a season of hot takes on the podcast, we regroup to discuss the season as a whole. Did some episodes go up or down in our estimation, after the initial hot take viewing? What did the rest of fandom think? How do we feel it went overall? Featuring fantastic contributions from our listeners via X, Facebook, email, Instant Messenger, carrier pigeon, our website, and more, this is our definitive - for now - take on Ncuti Gatwa's first season as the Doctor.

Before then, news from the past month including our thoughts - and the BBCs - on Doctor Who ratings, as well as saying goodbye to legend of the show, William Russell. We also catch up with some classic Doctor Who in the form of the Celestial Toymaker animation, and a re-watch of The Ark. And Rob's really selling off his Doctor Who collection in earnest!
