French fries are potatoes so potatoes have to be good right?

A grey quarry. Bland spaceship sets. Poor concept execution. The question is, am I describing Underworld or Frontios? It’s Frontios. Sorry. Frontios was written by Christopher H. Bidmead and aired in January and February of 1984.

This week, we discuss the final story of Season 20’s Black Guardian Trilogy. Todd wants to know all the details, Nathan is busy admiring Captain Wrack’s décolletage, while Brendan waxes philosophical on the nature of Enlightenment.

Buy the story!

Enlightenment was released on DVD in 1992/1993. In the US, it was released on its own, I think, but it’s completely unavailable on Amazon. Still, you can just buy it as part of the Black Guardian Trilogy box set (Amazon US), which is how it was released in the UK and Australia (Amazon UK).

Notes and links

Barbara Clegg and Rona Munro (Survival) are the only women ever to write for the Classic Series, if we don’t count Lesley Scott’s co-credit on The Ark, and we don’t, apparently.

We’ve mentioned Sapphire and Steel before. It ran on ITV from 1979 to 1982 and starred Joanna Lumley and David McCallum, who played time-travelling agents (sort of), who tried to rectify strange and scary time things caused by anachronisms or paradoxes or something. It’s worth a look, even if it’s glacially slow by modern standards. You can read Den of Geek’s take on the story here; in this essay, Sandifer discusses the series, as well as just about every other genre thing from the same period.

Summary:

Adam J Purcell, Andy Simpkins and Keith Dunn sit down, spittled, in front of the 2009 Doctor Who special, ‘The End of Time, Part One’, and spout our usual nonsense!

This Doctor cannot run anymore, Wilf does that misty eyed thing again and the Master is a tad hungry. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy The End of Time, Part One...

Hm, hm, hm. He he he (that was my Hartnell impression). Hey Who fans. Some very interesting news this week then onto our classic review of The Romans.

The News

John Barrowman seems to be playing the blame game with the lack of commitment to more Torchwood and throws it all in Moffat’s direction. Well, the Moff is not happy, not happy at all and publicly replies to Mr B. We’ll keep reporting on this one as it unfolds. Handbags at dawn!

Chris Eccleston recently gave a review on an Australian radio station and revels a bit more on how he felt about his time on Who plus a couple of interesting nuggets we haven’t heard before.

Merch

Talking of John Barrowman, Big Finish are releasing a new audio drama next year called The Lives of Captain Jack. With links to some cool characters from Who, this could be a belter. It’s out June 2017.

Those busy peeps at Candy Jar have another free digital book to get your teeth into, this one based on the legend that is Eileen Younghusband called The Last Duty. Check it out here.

“The Romans” Review

This week we look into an often forgotten Hartnell story (ahem, Adam!) The Romans. Sprinkled the humour and based loosely on historical fact, this is a fun romp but are we impressed like the Ceasers of old or hung high and dry in the arena?

Thank you for listening and your thoughts. Next week it’s that cheeky 10th Doctor’s turn when we review The Lazarus Project, we look forward to your reviews. Until than have a great week and as always – Allons-y!!

In Episode 34: Precipice Of Failure!, the boys visit Convergence for a live recording with special guests Ariel Leaf and Joseph Scrimshaw! Listen as they debate practical shoes versus weak ankles, the 1963 First Doctor adventure The Edge Of Destruction versus the 2008 Tenth Doctor adventure Midnight, regeneration by parachute failure versus regeneration by liver failure, the KLF versus Gary Glitter, and much, much more!

This week we cover story #108, Nightmare of Eden! The Doctor and Romana visit Skonnos where a mysterious Nimon has had a labyrinthine power complex built under the direction of his priest, Soldeed -- but to what sinister end?

QotW: If you had to pick a universe for the Nimons to swarm like locusts, what universe would it be?

Charlie's Variety Segment/Listener Mailbag

Discussion of "The Horns of Nimon" (Trevor 7.5, Charlie 7.75, David 8.75)

Big Finish: 4th Doctor Adventures: The Sands of Life (Trevor 8, Charlie 8, David 8)

Join us next week for our review of Doctor Who story #... well, it doesn't really have a number, because it was unfinished and never broadcast. But it's after story #108 and before story 109, so let's call it 108.5, shall we? (We'll argue about the details on next week's show.) You can buy the DVD from Amazon.com, BarnesAndNoble.com, the WB Shop, the BBC Doctor Who Shop, or many other fine retailers.

It's another old-school first! This time, it's the first episode directed by Fiona Cumming (though not her first association with Doctor Who), as well as the first Fifth Doctor episode. There's A Lot of fun to be had. And yes, sometimes there's a quote so good you just have to give up on shoehorning the DW ep title into the podcast ep title.

What do you think about "Castrovalva"? Do you love the script and direction and acting and everything else all the time? Or did you get bored with the tromping through the forest? Let us know in the comments!

Decades ago, the mysterious time-travelling Doctor and his cheerful companion Mel became the toast of the planet Prosper, when they brokered a peace between the native Mogera and humans from the colony ship The Duke of Milan. But when the TARDIS at last returns to Prosper, the Doctor, Mel and their associate Ace find only a warzone. The burrowing Mogera have become brutal monsters, dominated by their terrifying leader Caliban - and it's all the Doctor's fault! Written By: Matthew J Elliott Directed By: Ken Bentley Cast Sylvester McCoy (The Doctor), Bonnie Langford (Mel), Sophie Aldred (Ace), Andrew Hall (Alonso/Gonzalo), Lucy Briggs-Owen (Miranda), Rachel Atkins (Juno), Ewan Goddard (Talpa), Aaron Neil (Stephano/Klossi/Trink/Setebos). Other parts portrayed by the cast.

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the Tardis, not a creature was stirring, not even the Doctor, because he was sleeping. And then some robots showed up, and he kept sleeping. And then some aliens showed up, and he kept on sleeping.
But the Doctor does eventually wake up to deliver some lumps of coal to all the bad little aliens who tried to take over the world.

It's our first Christmas special and our first time with David Tennant as the Doctor. We had our thoughts, be sure to let us hear yours!

This week on PODcastica, our duo took a look back at Colin Baker's first serial as The Doctor: THE TWIN DILEMMA. This serial has been at the bottom of most fan voted stories, and with somewhat good reasoning. Did our hosts make it all the way through? Or did they meet the same fate that Mestor met? They also cover a good amount of WHO NEWS! So join us, won't you?

Pull out your lucky dice and roll 'em. Cause MarkWHO42 is landing on a double six with this episode double feature with not ONE but TWO interviews starting with Mark Sierens of Vile Genius Games. Mark talks about upcoming awesome games like Tales from the Tavern from Vile Genius and his Kickstarter program. You can check out all the fun at VileGenius.com. And if that wasn't enough, the team brings us back to the WHOniverse with Big Finish actor, Elliot Chapman, who voices Ben Jackson in such episodes like "The Yes Men" and "The Forsaken." Elliot talks about picking up the mantle from Michael Craze into audio format and what it's like working on Big Finish. So, blow on that dice. Give it a good toss and let it ride, cause this episode of MarkWHO42 doesn't play games. Well... actually it does.

In this week’s show we return with another couple of reviews from Candy Jar’s Lethbridge-Stewart series. First we look at The Grandfather Infestation by John Peel. We follow that with a look at a recent short story, The Playing Dead penned by author Adrian Sherlock. We break down the good and the bad with both of these stories.

Also, with a week off, we catch up on some news, including the BBC’s announcement about an animated Power of the Daleks featuring the first appearance of Patrick Troughton’s Doctor.

And, of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!
