SHOW NOTES

(00:00:00) Our guest on this podcast is FOTS Tim Burrows from the “Missing Episodes” podcast.

(00:03:24) “Film is Fabulous!” is an initiative by film collectors, cinema lovers and vintage television enthusiasts. Its aim is to encourage collectors in the United Kingdom to create a list of their films and to add this with clear instructions to their Will.

(00:03:56) The episode of Tim’s podcast where he interviews Paul Vanezis is Doctor Who: The Missing Episodes Podcast – Special Edition – Film Collectors (dated 13/09/2023) and can be found here.

(00:15:10) Rather than write it ourselves, we thought it easier to lift this description from an online forum: “In 1992, a fan named Roger K. Barrett claimed to have a videotape of The Tenth Planet and offered to sell it to some Doctor Who fans and the BBC, including Ian Levine, a well-known fan and one time unofficial continuity adviser to the programme. However, Barrett turned out to be an alias and the existence of the episode a hoax. In a mini-documentary titled “Missing in Action” (aired during a 1993 BBC One repeat of Planet of the Daleks), Levine said that he experienced “the absolute utter depths of despair when we found out that it was just a blank tape and it was all a hoax”, expressing his desire to get hold of Barrett and “choke him until I found out why he misled everybody.” Unfortunately, hoaxes of this kind are not uncommon in Doctor Who fandom, with people like Barrett more than willing to exploit the hope that copies of the missing episodes may still exist somewhere waiting to be recovered.” The Missing in Action documentary can be seen here and the Roger K. Barrett stuff starts at about 00:04:25.

(00:34:07) The gorilla cage change scene from “Diamonds Are Forever” can be scene here.

(00:55:50) “Five Go Mad in Dorset” was the first of three Five Go Mad specials from the long-running series of The Comic Strip Presents… television comedy films. It first aired on the launch night of Channel 4 (0/11/1982).

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast....

...that make a small portion of the world cry

This episode Phil takes a dive into the world of the Doctor Who novelty record. From spending Christmas Day with a Dalek to Jon Pertwee reciting verse along to the Doctor Who theme tune, Phil finds a strange world where hip and groovy meets cheesy and how an effort to save Doctor Who from cancellation ended up as one of the biggest musical travesties ever conceived.

My guest this week has already given me dozens of hours of enjoyment as a science fiction and mystery writer. Please welcome Adam Christopher (@ghostfinder) to the show. Adam and I discussed many topics, starting with his Doctor Who fandom in New Zealand in the 1980s, and moving on to his wide-ranging professional career.

The infamous 1977 blackout can be heard on this newly-unearthed Mets radio broadcast, which includes the blackout striking in the 6th inning, and the belated resumption of the game two months later.

During the recording, Adam and I enthuse about the Bowery Boys Podcast, which you can find here.

In writing his Stranger Things novel, Adam found New York Mets knowledge on Faith and Fear in Flushing, which it won't surprise you to learn, Jason has already been following for years.

Jason's latest Trap One episode is here. Thanks to fellow Doctor Who podcasters Brendan (@brandybongos) and Mark (@QuarkMcMalus) for their entertaining joint appearance this week.

As the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who comes ever closer, we review the Big Finish audio adaptation of the comic strip that is also being adapted for the first episode of the RDT2 era, The Star Beast.

And we ask the question, why does Russell T. Davies love to adapt stories from other Doctor Who media such as comics, books and audio?

This week, we’re all enjoying bombing and threatening one another, until the Doctor comes along and delivers a long speech about New Cruel People, which starts making us feel bad about ourselves. And fair enough. It’s The Zygon Inversion.

Notes and links

The Decimas were tiny squeaky-voiced aliens, who looked like nothing so much as miniature Zygons; their leader was played by our very own Deep Roy. They appeared in the fifth episode of Blakes 7, Web, and so you can hear more about them in Maximum Power episode 5, Color-coded Anoraks.

Sonequa Martin-Green is the astonishing beautiful lead in the first of the new new Star Trek series, Star Trek: Discovery. Her ability to convey genuine emotional distress in Series 1 was so impressive that they required her to do it in just about every scene in Series 2.

And Truth or Consequences is a real place in New Mexico, a small town that voted to name itself after a radio game show in 1950. (Before that, it was called Hot Springs.)

Picks of the Week

Simon

Simon recommends seminal Cold War-era horror film Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), which has been an influence on Doctor Who all the way back to The Faceless Ones.

James

James brings us back to 2023 with his recommendation of Marvel’s TV miniseries Secret Invasion, which itself goes back to a comic book crossover storyline that ran for a few months in 2008.

Peter

Peter suggests Barbenheimer, which was this year’s weirdest media trend, watching Greta Gerwig’s Barbie (2023) and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer (2023) on the same day. If Bonnie is still around in 2023, you have to believe that she participated.

Nathan

Nathan suggests watching Heartstopper (2022), a terribly sweet gay high-school romance on Netflix. It’s based on Alice Oseman’s webcomic, and is also a series of graphic novels.

Follow us

Nathan is on X as @nathanbottomley, James is @ohjamessellwood, and Simon is @simonmoore72. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. You can follow the podcast on X at @FTEpodcast.

We’re also on Facebook, Mastodon, and Bluesky, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on Apple Podcasts, or we’ll apply for you to appear on The Chase without telling you about it first.

And more

Last week, we released the first episode of our new Space: 1999 commentary podcast, Startling Barbara Bain. In that first episode, we talked over the show’s pilot episode Breakaway, in which the moon is hurled from its orbit by a terrible nuclear explosion.

A couple of our podcasts are finished or on hiatus right now. Jodie into Terror was our flashcast on every episode of the Whittaker era, recorded just a couple of days after the broadcast of the episode. Bondfinger was our James Bond commentary podcast, which also covered some of our favourite spy-fi TV shows of the sixties and seventies.

Maximum Power is back! Our podcast about Blakes 7, co-produced with the Trap One podcast, continues its coverage of Blakes 7 series C, with a discussion of the second episode, Powerplay.

And finally, there’s our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. This week, we watched a lovely episode of Star Trek: Voyager. B’Elanna crash lands on a bronze-age planet and becomes the inspiration for a beautiful young playwright in Muse.

This week my new series re-watch reaches the complex Doctor Who: The Name of the Doctor.

ProgNeg Theme originally compiled by H.B. Lockwood

On the one hundred and twelfth edition of Reality Bomb, we talk to classical musician Elizabeth Reid McQuillan about the new version of the Doctor Who theme and what makes the Doctor Who theme so popular. We chat with Graham Kibble-White, co-author of the new bookazine Adventures in Type and Space, about how the book came together, and how some of the greatest title sequences in Doctor Who's history came together, with exclusive clips of Graham's interviews with the legendary Bernard Lodge and Peter Govey. And we reconvene the Reality Bomb Book Club as Shannon Dohar and Martin Hajovsky discuss Russell T Davies' and Benjamin Cook's behind the scenes look at the making of series four, Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale. Plus: Graeme Burk examines the origins of the oooo-eee-oooos and the dumba-ba-dums that make up the Doctor Who theme to see how it connects with Murray Gold's latest version ... and we discover, the hard way, that there are some things in the world of Doctor Who that are more ridiculous than any comedy sketch we can make.

Waffle On About The Exorcist

Its October, Its part 10 of 12 celebrating 1973 and its Halloween time. What better way to get some chills down your back than listening to the boys talking about one of the most influential Horror films ever made, The Exorcist.

As we crawl ever closer to the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who and three David Tennant specials the news has gone from a trickle to a flood and the Three Who Rule are struggling to stay above the waves of information and indeed, this very strained metaphor. We have a release date (November 25!), a Disney+ trailer, a press release, promo pics, writer news, BluRay and Big Finish updates, a Humble Bundle and most importantly, a project to create the longest Doctor Who scarf ever. Thrill to our debate as to what makes a “proper” Doctor Who scarf and discover if you are a Scarf Truther or merely sane.

Who's He? at The Movies | Halloween

As Halloween draws near, Phil decided to take a look at John Carpenter's 1978 slasher film, Halloween. This is the film that started all those horror movie tropes, the unstoppable monster and the final girl. But after all this time, is it still effective as a horror film or has time and the countless sequels and imitators lessened its impact?

Andrew Smith (@Andr3wSmith) rejoins the show this week to discuss the 1984 TV story The Awakening and its 1985 novelization. Jason and Andrew are coming from very different places with regard to the story, but are more than happy to meet in the middle... and each brings a diabolical game for the other to play.

Shannon Patrick Sullivan's A Brief History of Time (Travel) brings us some data on the authorship of The Awakening.

We threw a vote out there on X for which season would like us to discuss on the next episode, from a list of four options. The results were:

Season 8 (Pertwee) 37.1%
Season 12 (Baker) 31.1%
Series 9 (Capaldi) 18.9%
Series 4 (Tennant) 12.9%

So here we are, tonight, to discuss Season 8, comprising:

Terror of the Autons
The Mind of Evil
The Claws of Axos
Colony In Space
The Daemons

Before then, of course, we also talk some recent Doctor Who news, including the battle for An Unearthly Child to join the rest of Doctor Who on iPlayer in the UK, and Dave's thoughts after seeing Katy Manning at the recent Sirens of Audio event in his hometown, Melbourne.

This week, we’ve invited twenty million Zygons over for cocktails, and now we’re starting to feel self-conscious about cooking up all that salt-and-pepper squid. And so soon we’re involved in an international political thriller that takes us from Fake New Mexico all the way to Madeupistan. It’s The Zygon Invasion.

Notes and links

Sister Lamont from Terror of the Zygons was played by Lillias Walker, who died in August at the age of 93. I hope she knew how many small children she terrified. Bless her.

I thought I would probably regret researching this, but here’s a link to the Scottish Falsetto Sockpuppet Theatre’s YouTube playlist, and here’s another link to a video where they announce the casting of Peter Capaldi as the next Doctor Who. (Brendan’s impression of them is actually pretty good.)

El Sandifer’s interview with Peter Harness was broadcast on the Pex Lives podcast feed. You can find it here.

Friend-of-the-podcast Erik Stadnik has just finished the RTD1 era on his podcast Doctor Who: The Writers’ Room, in which he and Kyle discuss the various writers and eras throughout the show’s history. In their most recent episode, they start their long journey through the Steven Moffat era with a discussion of The Eleventh Hour. Highly recommended.

And more

Yesterday, we released the first episode of our new Space: 1999 commentary podcast, Startling Barbara Bain. Space: 1999 was, at times, a thoughtful and beautifully realised British science fiction show that dealt with questions about the very nature of the universe, and at other times was mostly about astronauts trying not to get eaten by unconvincing monsters with rubber tentacles. Our first episode, Breakaway, sees the moon hurled from its orbit by a nuclear explosion and heading off into space for some thrilling new adventures.

A couple of our podcasts are finished or on hiatus right now. Jodie into Terror was our flashcast on every episode of the Whittaker era, recorded just a couple of days after the broadcast of the episode. Bondfinger was our James Bond commentary podcast, which also covered some of our favourite spy-fi TV shows of the sixties and seventies.

Maximum Power is back! Our podcast about Blakes 7, co-produced with the Trap One podcast, makaes a start on Blakes 7 series C, with a discussion of the first episode, Aftermath.

And finally, there’s our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. This week, we were astounded to find ourselves enjoying a late-era episode of Star Trek: Enterprise in which the Vulcans go completely rogue — Kir’Shara.

This week we look back at an anniversary special from three decades ago. We took some time to watch More Than 30 Years in the TARDIS.

Then, series two of Doctor Who Redacted just finished here in the U.S.  We review the latest installment in the saga.

Enjoy!

The post Episode 567 – Behind the Sofa appeared first on Traveling the Vortex.

Our 60th Anniversary series continues with a look back at the Doctor Who 40th Anniversary special, Zagreus. Joining us to talk about it in depth is producer, director and co-writer, Gary Russell.

We'll also be jumping down the rabbit hole with the live Sydney audience from our recent event with Katy Manning.

And for those who loved our recent interview with Conrad Westmaas, he returns here to give us his special experience of working on Zagreus.
