    The crossover we’ve all been waiting for.

    I was a fugitive once. The cops came to my house, told me I was wanted for stealing toilet paper during a time of crisis. I, of course, denied it and jumped out the window. Pretty sure I broke my ankle on the way down but I didn’t have time to verify. Some say I’m still running to this day, although I think the police have other toilet paper thieves on their hands now. It’s Fugitive of the Judoon written by Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall and aired on January 26, 2020.


    Show-notes:


    1:40: Here’s an article about Wikipedia editors editing Bloomberg’s death into his wiki page. Wikipedia editors are some of the most dangerous and unhinged people out there.
    18:44: Pretty sure there was something wrong with the call here, which is why Argy couldn’t hear us I think. Happens once again later too.

    42:15: The greatest thing we’ve ever done

    O3Q4AP5FKXJ1 5% DISCOUNT CODE     REPRINTED TATDIS WIKI   BBV Productions Founded: Main ranges: Notable non-DWU work:   You may be looking for . Contents   BBV Productions (also known as Bill & Ben Video) was a  video production company founded by  in . The company was named for Baggs himself and his then-wife Helen, whose nickname is "Ben." It was a commercial enterprise that served  fans who were starved of content between the broadcasts of  and . Towards this end it heavily used Doctor Who actors and, when possible, characters. BBV therefore quickly gained the reputation for putting out content that was "almost official" or "nearly Doctor Who". In truth, though, its output was a bit more varied than that. Most of it could safely be put into one of five categories: documentaries fiction using characters owned by individual Doctor Who writers fiction using characters owned by the BBC whom the BBC gave BBV permission to use what  has called "", or things that were very close to Doctor Who, but the names were changed to keep the BBC at bay some wholly original material using nothing that connected to the DWU, aside possibly from Doctor Who actors Of these five types, this wiki is only interested in the first three. Because it's a little confusing,  appears below to demonstrate which are DWU stories and which are not.   Personnel |  BBV developed a repertory company of actors that appeared in many of their productions, often playing different roles. Many of these actors were previously known from their work in Doctor Who, and included former  actors , , , and  and companion actors , , , and . Several actors appearing in these productions early in their careers went on to achieve further notability, including , , and . A number of personnel behind-the-scenes and in front of the camera, including Briggs, Gatiss and Cumming, would go on to work on licenced Doctor Who spinoffs at , , and , as well as the  television revival of Doctor Who. Productions |  Work in Video |  BBV's first production was the  video release Summoned by Shadows, which was co-produced by the  and starred Colin Baker playing an unnamed character only known as the Stranger and Nicola Bryant as Miss Brown. The Stranger's adventures were chronicled on six videos and an audio adventure, many of which featured former Who cast members. The sixth video, Eye of the Beholder, was later re-released as the audio story Eye of the Storm. BBV's next release was the ecologically-themed thriller The Airzone Solution, which was about a near-future conspiracy. The video was released in , coinciding with the 30th anniversary of Doctor Who and featured four actors previously cast as the Doctor. In , BBV released the first video in the  series, , which saw a departure for BBV as  was the only character from the Who universe to appear (although numerous Who actors made appearances as different characters). This proved problematic for the series, as Liz Shaw seemed very much changed following her leaving from UNIT; this was due to BBV only acquiring the rights to use the character and had no rights to the Doctor, meaning that the series could make no explicit reference to any other aspect of Who – including the stories where Liz was present. BBV's next series of spin-off videos focused on  and their battles with the . The first video of the series, , was originally to feature  as , however he had to withdraw due to ill health. The Brigadier was replaced by the original character of , an enigmatic UNIT agent played by . After the success of the Auton trilogy, BBV went on to produce Cyberon, which featured an alien race of cyborgs reminiscent of the  called the Cyberon. The Cyberon would later go on to appear in an audio story, Cybergeddon. In  BBV released the Doctor Who parody , in which Sylvester McCoy played a character called the Chiropodist (aka Foot Doctor) as he fought Cyberons, , and . In addition to references to past BBV productions, the film obliquely referenced various elements of Doctor Who and the unlicenced nature of BBV's body of work. BBV also ventured into non-fiction, producing documentaries such as  and . BBV's only release in  was the drama , which featured  as both protagonists and antagonists. The main character  had previously appeared in Cyberon. The film had actually been mostly shot by , but initially scrapped; only after additional shooting years later was the film completed and released. In , BBV released, , the long-awaited return of the  series. Work in Audio |  After experimenting with audio for a few years, BBV began regularly releasing audio dramas in  under the umbrella title "". One line of adventures was The Time Travellers, starring Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred as "" and ";" the two so closely resembled their Doctor Who characters that, by the seventh story, the BBC had stepped in and demanded changes to not infringe copyrights – the main change was that the main characters were now called "the Dominie" and "Alice." The first of the Audio Adventures that didn't feature McCoy and Aldred was a two-story series called The Wanderer, which featured  as an amnesiac space-traveller whom one of the other characters dubs "Fred". Briggs had previously played the Doctor for unlicenced fan audios made by ; the Wanderer stories were a deliberate continuation of that series in all but name.  was worried about getting sued by the BBC, so he wanted to further distance his 'Who Clone' products by casting someone who hadn't been the Doctor (officially)... Me! I was very reluctant, but Bill was relentless and persuasive. [...] He told me to write Doctor Who, but find some clever way of making it lawyer-proof! BBV moved away from audio stories about characters that could be the Doctor after the establishment of ' officially-licenced line of Doctor Who audio dramas, instead moving on to audios featuring other characters from the Who universe such as  (licenced from her creators ) as well as a thinly-veiled post-  (referred to only as "" to avoid infringement) and  (fully licenced from his creators  and .) As with their videos, BBV also produced audios featuring original characters battling invasions by licenced aliens (such as  and ) or close matches to Doctor Who monsters which were altered to avoid infringement (such as the -like "Cyberons.") BBV also released a series of stories by  about his history-spanning cult organisation, . In   BBV announced that it would be no longer producing audio stories, with the exception of Faction Paradox, and instead would focus on video releases. By  , past audio releases were being deleted from their catalogue.  However, the full Audio Adventures in Time & Space library became available once more in  as paid downloads from a revamped BBV Productions website, and a first new BBV audio release ultimately saw the light of day in the form of a reading of  by  himself. Work in Webcasts |  In  BBV released a series of short  webcasts on their  channel under the title of P.R.O.B.E. Online. After being released weekly, they were taken off the Internet (but for two) and collected as a paying release available through the BBV Website as P.R.O.B.E. Case Files. Current status |  The original BBV Productions website, bbvonline.co.uk, became inaccessible in late 2009. In January 2011, the domain was taken up by a new registrant and used for an unrelated site, a film blog. However the TARDIS Library website lists a number of BBV releases in 2012, beginning with DVD reissues of the PROBE series in March 2012, followed by August 2012 reissues of Do You Have a License to Save This Planet?, Cyberon and Bidding Adieu. Bill Baggs ultimately returned to DWU work with a new P.R.O.B.E. film, , in memory of , featuring Hazel Burrows taking over the role of Liz Shaw. It was released on  .  In 2018, BBV released Sunrise: Love Again, an independent feature film written and directed by Bill Baggs. In late  and continuing into , BBV Productions started uploading interviews of various vintages with Doctor Who cast and crew to their YouTube channel, as well as making Sunrise: Love Again available for free as a form of promotion on the same channel. They also revived the  series with a series of webcasts, "Case Files" starring a returning Bill Baggs as . These webcasts occasionally featured licensed appearances by, or references to, other DWU elements than P.R.O.B.E., including the  from . This preceded the revival of the BBV website in the first half of 2021, which made all of the company's back catalogue (both DWU and otherwise) available as paying downloads as well as permitting the order or preorder of home media releases.

In doing so, he noted that the BBC were requiring him to change the names of all the characters involved, noting "the BBC copyright situation is rather tougher now than it was when I did The Killing Stone". In an interview published in , Baggs stated that he thought Franklin had cleared the publishing with the BBC, but that he mainly thought the publication was "fair" due to it featuring "his interpretations". Despite Bagg's claims, writer Dylan Rees still concludes that the publishing was and is "strictly speaking, illegal."

Contents   BBV Productions (also known as Bill & Ben Video) was a  video production company founded by  in . The company was named for Baggs himself and his then-wife Helen, whose nickname is "Ben." It was a commercial enterprise that served  fans who were starved of content between the broadcasts of  and . Towards this end it heavily used Doctor Who actors and, when possible, characters. BBV therefore quickly gained the reputation for putting out content that was "almost official" or "nearly Doctor Who". In truth, though, its output was a bit more varied than that. Most of it could safely be put into one of five categories: documentaries fiction using characters owned by individual Doctor Who writers fiction using characters owned by the BBC whom the BBC gave BBV permission to use what  has called "", or things that were very close to Doctor Who, but the names were changed to keep the BBC at bay some wholly original material using nothing that connected to the DWU, aside possibly from Doctor Who actors Of these five types, this wiki is only interested in the first three. Because it's a little confusing,  appears below to demonstrate which are DWU stories and which are not.   Personnel |  BBV developed a repertory company of actors that appeared in many of their productions, often playing different roles. Many of these actors were previously known from their work in Doctor Who, and included former  actors , , , and  and companion actors , , , and . Several actors appearing in these productions early in their careers went on to achieve further notability, including , , and .

The Stranger's adventures were chronicled on six videos and an audio adventure, many of which featured former Who cast members. The sixth video, Eye of the Beholder, was later re-released as the audio story Eye of the Storm. BBV's next release was the ecologically-themed thriller The Airzone Solution, which was about a near-future conspiracy. The video was released in , coinciding with the 30th anniversary of Doctor Who and featured four actors previously cast as the Doctor. In , BBV released the first video in the  series, , which saw a departure for BBV as  was the only character from the Who universe to appear (although numerous Who actors made appearances as different characters). This proved problematic for the series, as Liz Shaw seemed very much changed following her leaving from UNIT; this was due to BBV only acquiring the rights to use the character and had no rights to the Doctor, meaning that the series could make no explicit reference to any other aspect of Who – including the stories where Liz was present.

    This week, while Nathan’s lying on the couch hungover, James is in an ecstatic vaporous trance, and Brendan’s admiring his latest avant-garde objet d’art, we are unexpectedly joined by friend-of-the-podcast, Erik Stadnik, who we hope will (eventually) find it in his heart to save us from the latest impending apocalypse, The Fires of Pompeii.

    Notes and links

    Strap yourself in. There’s a lot this week.

    The Doctor’s previous and completely contradictory visit to Pompeii is chronicled in the first Big Finish audio starring Sylvester McCoy and Bonnie Langford, called The Fires of Vulcan.

    Roman historian Mary Beard defines the Dormouse Test like this: “[In a modern recreation of ancient Rome,] how long is it before the characters adopt an uncomfortably horizontal position in front of tables, usually festooned with grapes, and one says to another: ‘Can I pass you a dormouse?’'”

    Here is a 3D recreation of the house of Lucius Caecilius Iucundus in Pompeii. It’s seen better days, to be honest.

    This article appeared just days before our recording: the remains of one victim found in Herculaneum revealed that their owner’s brain turned to glass in the heat of the eruption.

    David Whitaker was, in many ways, the creative genius who gave us Doctor Who, and in his very early novelisation, Doctor Who and the Crusaders, he not only gives his take on how history works, he also explains the morality of the Doctor’s historical adventures. A must-read.

    Caroline Simcox finds a new way to approach historical Doctor Who adventures in Big Finish’s The Council of Nicaea. Son of the Dragon, by Steve Lyons, covers similar territory.

    Tat Wood’s About Time 9 is the (sort of) definitive guide to Series 4 and the 2009 specials. No sign of About Time 10 yet, but we’re desperately hoping it will arrive before 2021.

    Follow us

    Nathan is on Twitter as @nathanbottomley, James is @ohjamessellwood and Brendan is @brandybongos. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam, and the strings performance was by Jane Aubourg. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast.

    Erik is @sjcAustenite on Twitter, and appears by arrangement with an impressive number of podcasts, including The Writer’s Room, which discusses the writers of Doctor Who and The Outer Limits, So Much Stuff to Sing, about the American Musical, and The Real McCoy, which has released two episodes since we recorded this one, on Silver Nemesis and The Greatest Show in the Galaxy.

    We’re also on Facebook, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on iTunes, or challenge you to a yo’ mamma competition the likes of which you’ve never seen.

    And more

    You can find Jodie into Terror, our flashcast on the Whittaker of Doctor Who, at jodieintoterror.com, at @JodieIntoTerror on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and wherever podcasts can be found.

    Our James Bond commentary podcast is called Bondfinger, and you can find that at bondfinger.com, at @bondfingercast on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and everywhere else as well. We just released our first episode for the new year, in which we slur incoherently during the first ever episode of Roger Moore’s The Saint.

Contents   BBV Productions (also known as Bill & Ben Video) was a  video production company founded by  in . The company was named for Baggs himself and his then-wife Helen, whose nickname is "Ben." It was a commercial enterprise that served  fans who were starved of content between the broadcasts of  and . Towards this end it heavily used Doctor Who actors and, when possible, characters. BBV therefore quickly gained the reputation for putting out content that was "almost official" or "nearly Doctor Who". In truth, though, its output was a bit more varied than that. Most of it could safely be put into one of five categories: documentaries fiction using characters owned by individual Doctor Who writers fiction using characters owned by the BBC whom the BBC gave BBV permission to use what  has called "", or things that were very close to Doctor Who, but the names were changed to keep the BBC at bay some wholly original material using nothing that connected to the DWU, aside possibly from Doctor Who actors Of these five types, this wiki is only interested in the first three. Because it's a little confusing,  appears below to demonstrate which are DWU stories and which are not.   Personnel |  BBV developed a repertory company of actors that appeared in many of their productions, often playing different roles. Many of these actors were previously known from their work in Doctor Who, and included former  actors , , , and  and companion actors , , , and . Several actors appearing in these productions early in their careers went on to achieve further notability, including , , and . A number of personnel behind-the-scenes and in front of the camera, including Briggs, Gatiss and Cumming, would go on to work on licenced Doctor Who spinoffs at , , and , as well as the  television revival of Doctor Who. Productions |  Work in Video |  BBV's first production was the  video release Summoned by Shadows, which was co-produced by the  and starred Colin Baker playing an unnamed character only known as the Stranger and Nicola Bryant as Miss Brown. The Stranger's adventures were chronicled on six videos and an audio adventure, many of which featured former Who cast members. The sixth video, Eye of the Beholder, was later re-released as the audio story Eye of the Storm. BBV's next release was the ecologically-themed thriller The Airzone Solution, which was about a near-future conspiracy. The video was released in , coinciding with the 30th anniversary of Doctor Who and featured four actors previously cast as the Doctor. In , BBV released the first video in the  series, , which saw a departure for BBV as  was the only character from the Who universe to appear (although numerous Who actors made appearances as different characters). This proved problematic for the series, as Liz Shaw seemed very much changed following her leaving from UNIT; this was due to BBV only acquiring the rights to use the character and had no rights to the Doctor, meaning that the series could make no explicit reference to any other aspect of Who – including the stories where Liz was present. BBV's next series of spin-off videos focused on  and their battles with the . The first video of the series, , was originally to feature  as , however he had to withdraw due to ill health. The Brigadier was replaced by the original character of , an enigmatic UNIT agent played by . After the success of the Auton trilogy, BBV went on to produce Cyberon, which featured an alien race of cyborgs reminiscent of the  called the Cyberon. The Cyberon would later go on to appear in an audio story, Cybergeddon. In  BBV released the Doctor Who parody , in which Sylvester McCoy played a character called the Chiropodist (aka Foot Doctor) as he fought Cyberons, , and . In addition to references to past BBV productions, the film obliquely referenced various elements of Doctor Who and the unlicenced nature of BBV's body of work.

The first of the Audio Adventures that didn't feature McCoy and Aldred was a two-story series called The Wanderer, which featured  as an amnesiac space-traveller whom one of the other characters dubs "Fred".

Me! I was very reluctant, but Bill was relentless and persuasive. [...] He told me to write Doctor Who, but find some clever way of making it lawyer-proof! BBV moved away from audio stories about characters that could be the Doctor after the establishment of ' officially-licenced line of Doctor Who audio dramas, instead moving on to audios featuring other characters from the Who universe such as  (licenced from her creators ) as well as a thinly-veiled post-  (referred to only as "" to avoid infringement) and  (fully licenced from his creators  and .) As with their videos, BBV also produced audios featuring original characters battling invasions by licenced aliens (such as  and ) or close matches to Doctor Who monsters which were altered to avoid infringement (such as the -like "Cyberons.")

In   BBV announced that it would be no longer producing audio stories, with the exception of Faction Paradox, and instead would focus on video releases. By  , past audio releases were being deleted from their catalogue.  However, the full Audio Adventures in Time & Space library became available once more in  as paid downloads from a revamped BBV Productions website, and a first new BBV audio release ultimately saw the light of day in the form of a reading of  by  himself. Work in Webcasts |  In  BBV released a series of short  webcasts on their  channel under the title of P.R.O.B.E. Online.

    11:00 (GMT) - 22 Mar 2020

    This week, while Nathan’s lying on the couch hungover, James is in an ecstatic vaporous trance, and Brendan’s admiring his latest avant-garde objet d’art, we are unexpectedly joined by friend-of-the-podcast, Erik Stadnik, who we hope will (eventually) find it in his heart to save us from the latest impending apocalypse, The Fires of Pompeii.

    Strap yourself in. There’s a lot this week.

    The Doctor’s previous and completely contradictory visit to Pompeii is chronicled in the first Big Finish audio starring Sylvester McCoy and Bonnie Langford, called The Fires of Vulcan.

    Roman historian Mary Beard defines the Dormouse Test like this: “[In a modern recreation of ancient Rome,] how long is it before the characters adopt an uncomfortably horizontal position in front of tables, usually festooned with grapes, and one says to another: ‘Can I pass you a dormouse?’”

    Here is a 3D recreation of the house of Lucius Caecilius Iucundus in Pompeii. It’s seen better days, to be honest.

    This article appeared just days before our recording: the remains of one victim found in Herculaneum revealed that their owner’s brain turned to glass in the heat of the eruption.

    David Whitaker was, in many ways, the creative genius who gave us Doctor Who, and in his very early novelisation, Doctor Who and the Crusaders, he not only gives his take on how history works, he also explains the morality of the Doctor’s historical adventures. A must-read.

    Caroline Simcox finds a new way to approach historical Doctor Who adventures in Big Finish’s The Council of Nicaea. Son of the Dragon, by Steve Lyons, covers similar territory.

    Tat Wood’s About Time 9 is the (sort of) definitive guide to Series 4 and the 2009 specials. No sign of About Time 10 yet, but we’re desperately hoping it will arrive before 2021.

Contents   BBV Productions (also known as Bill & Ben Video) was a  video production company founded by  in . The company was named for Baggs himself and his then-wife Helen, whose nickname is "Ben." It was a commercial enterprise that served  fans who were starved of content between the broadcasts of  and . Towards this end it heavily used Doctor Who actors and, when possible, characters. BBV therefore quickly gained the reputation for putting out content that was "almost official" or "nearly Doctor Who". In truth, though, its output was a bit more varied than that. Most of it could safely be put into one of five categories: documentaries fiction using characters owned by individual Doctor Who writers fiction using characters owned by the BBC whom the BBC gave BBV permission to use what  has called "", or things that were very close to Doctor Who, but the names were changed to keep the BBC at bay some wholly original material using nothing that connected to the DWU, aside possibly from Doctor Who actors Of these five types, this wiki is only interested in the first three. Because it's a little confusing,  appears below to demonstrate which are DWU stories and which are not.   Personnel |  BBV developed a repertory company of actors that appeared in many of their productions, often playing different roles. Many of these actors were previously known from their work in Doctor Who, and included former  actors , , , and  and companion actors , , , and . Several actors appearing in these productions early in their careers went on to achieve further notability, including , , and . A number of personnel behind-the-scenes and in front of the camera, including Briggs, Gatiss and Cumming, would go on to work on licenced Doctor Who spinoffs at , , and , as well as the  television revival of Doctor Who. Productions |  Work in Video |  BBV's first production was the  video release Summoned by Shadows, which was co-produced by the  and starred Colin Baker playing an unnamed character only known as the Stranger and Nicola Bryant as Miss Brown. The Stranger's adventures were chronicled on six videos and an audio adventure, many of which featured former Who cast members. The sixth video, Eye of the Beholder, was later re-released as the audio story Eye of the Storm. BBV's next release was the ecologically-themed thriller The Airzone Solution, which was about a near-future conspiracy. The video was released in , coinciding with the 30th anniversary of Doctor Who and featured four actors previously cast as the Doctor. In , BBV released the first video in the  series, , which saw a departure for BBV as  was the only character from the Who universe to appear (although numerous Who actors made appearances as different characters). This proved problematic for the series, as Liz Shaw seemed very much changed following her leaving from UNIT; this was due to BBV only acquiring the rights to use the character and had no rights to the Doctor, meaning that the series could make no explicit reference to any other aspect of Who – including the stories where Liz was present.

The Cyberon would later go on to appear in an audio story, Cybergeddon. In  BBV released the Doctor Who parody , in which Sylvester McCoy played a character called the Chiropodist (aka Foot Doctor) as he fought Cyberons, , and . In addition to references to past BBV productions, the film obliquely referenced various elements of Doctor Who and the unlicenced nature of BBV's body of work.

Me! I was very reluctant, but Bill was relentless and persuasive. [...] He told me to write Doctor Who, but find some clever way of making it lawyer-proof! BBV moved away from audio stories about characters that could be the Doctor after the establishment of ' officially-licenced line of Doctor Who audio dramas, instead moving on to audios featuring other characters from the Who universe such as  (licenced from her creators ) as well as a thinly-veiled post-  (referred to only as "" to avoid infringement) and  (fully licenced from his creators  and .)

    This week, while Nathan’s lying on the couch hungover, James is in an ecstatic vaporous trance, and Brendan’s admiring his latest avant-garde objet d’art, we are unexpectedly joined by friend-of-the-podcast, Erik Stadnik, who we hope will (eventually) find it in his heart to save us from the latest impending apocalypse, The Fires of Pompeii.

    Strap yourself in. There’s a lot this week.

    The Doctor’s previous and completely contradictory visit to Pompeii is chronicled in the first Big Finish audio starring Sylvester McCoy and Bonnie Langford, called The Fires of Vulcan.

    Roman historian Mary Beard defines the Dormouse Test like this: “[In a modern recreation of ancient Rome,] how long is it before the characters adopt an uncomfortably horizontal position in front of tables, usually festooned with grapes, and one says to another: ‘Can I pass you a dormouse?’”

    Here is a 3D recreation of the house of Lucius Caecilius Iucundus in Pompeii. It’s seen better days, to be honest.

    This article appeared just days before our recording: the remains of one victim found in Herculaneum revealed that their owner’s brain turned to glass in the heat of the eruption.

    David Whitaker was, in many ways, the creative genius who gave us Doctor Who, and in his very early novelisation, Doctor Who and the Crusaders, he not only gives his take on how history works, he also explains the morality of the Doctor’s historical adventures. A must-read.

    Caroline Simcox finds a new way to approach historical Doctor Who adventures in Big Finish’s The Council of Nicaea. Son of the Dragon, by Steve Lyons, covers similar territory.

    Tat Wood’s About Time 9 is the (sort of) definitive guide to Series 4 and the 2009 specials. No sign of About Time 10 yet, but we’re desperately hoping it will arrive before 2021.

    Nathan is on Twitter as @nathanbottomley, James is @ohjamessellwood and Brendan is @brandybongos. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam, and the strings performance was by Jane Aubourg. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast.

    Erik is @sjcAustenite on Twitter, and appears by arrangement with an impressive number of podcasts, including The Writer’s Room, which discusses the writers of Doctor Who and The Outer Limits, So Much Stuff to Sing, about the American Musical, and The Real McCoy, which has released two episodes since we recorded this one, on Silver Nemesis and The Greatest Show in the Galaxy.

    Flight Through Entirety: A Doctor Who Podcast

    11:00 (GMT) - 22 Mar 2020

    This week, while Nathan’s lying on the couch hungover, James is in an ecstatic vaporous trance, and Brendan’s admiring his latest avant-garde objet d’art, we are unexpectedly joined by friend-of-the-podcast, Erik Stadnik, who we hope will (eventually) find it in his heart to save us from the latest impending apocalypse, The Fires of Pompeii.

    Strap yourself in. There’s a lot this week.

    The Doctor’s previous and completely contradictory visit to Pompeii is chronicled in the first Big Finish audio starring Sylvester McCoy and Bonnie Langford, called The Fires of Vulcan.

    Roman historian Mary Beard defines the Dormouse Test like this: “[In a modern recreation of ancient Rome,] how long is it before the characters adopt an uncomfortably horizontal position in front of tables, usually festooned with grapes, and one says to another: ‘Can I pass you a dormouse?’”

    Here is a 3D recreation of the house of Lucius Caecilius Iucundus in Pompeii. It’s seen better days, to be honest.

    This article appeared just days before our recording: the remains of one victim found in Herculaneum revealed that their owner’s brain turned to glass in the heat of the eruption.

    David Whitaker was, in many ways, the creative genius who gave us Doctor Who, and in his very early novelisation, Doctor Who and the Crusaders, he not only gives his take on how history works, he also explains the morality of the Doctor’s historical adventures. A must-read.

    Caroline Simcox finds a new way to approach historical Doctor Who adventures in Big Finish’s The Council of Nicaea. Son of the Dragon, by Steve Lyons, covers similar territory.

    Tat Wood’s About Time 9 is the (sort of) definitive guide to Series 4 and the 2009 specials. No sign of About Time 10 yet, but we’re desperately hoping it will arrive before 2021.

    Follow us

    Nathan is on Twitter as @nathanbottomley, James is @ohjamessellwood and Brendan is @brandybongos. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam, and the strings performance was by Jane Aubourg. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast.

    Erik is @sjcAustenite on Twitter, and appears by arrangement with an impressive number of podcasts, including The Writer’s Room, which discusses the writers of Doctor Who and The Outer Limits, So Much Stuff to Sing, about the American Musical, and The Real McCoy, which has released two episodes since we recorded this one, on Silver Nemesis and The Greatest Show in the Galaxy.
