The post Episode 553 – Complicated, Hard to Explain and Up for Discussion appeared first on Traveling the Vortex.

On the one hundred and ninth edition of Reality Bomb we're back doing a live episode on Zoom! Graeme Burk and Joy Piedmont are joined by a panel that includes Kim Rogers, Lori Steuart, Max Kaschevsky and KatyBeth Schmid as they discuss (just in time for Doctor Who's big 6-0) what the essential elements of Doctor Who actually are. Lori Steuart (who has been on the show since episode 001!) finally gets to be on Gallery of the Underrated as they discuss meta satire, clowns and much more with The Greatest Show of the Galaxy. And Jim Sangster hosts a super-sized edition of (Doctor Who) Would I Lie To You? All this plus what happens when bad wifi causes you to Zoom...into the future!

With a new non-fiction Doctor Who book on the horizon, this time looking at the creation of Doctor Who back in 1963, Rob sits down for the third time in the life of the podcast with friend of the show and the book's author, Paul Hayes.

Pull To Open: 1962–1963: The Inside Story of How the BBC Created and Launched Doctor Who is available from Ten Acre Films on July 24, 2023.

‘Fresh and compelling… As definitive an account of those early years as I have read’ Toby Hadoke

When Doctor Who began on Saturday November 23 1963, few could have guessed that it marked the start of perhaps the most extraordinary story in the history of BBC television drama. But there had already been another story, equally extraordinary yet unseen, leading up to the transmission of that opening episode – the creation of the series itself.

Pull to Open explores the behind-the-scenes saga of Doctor Who in 1963, when a chain of events at the BBC brought together a disparate group to launch what would become one of British TV’s best-loved and most successful programmes. It’s the story of why these events happened; the BBC creative culture into which Doctor Who was born; how television drama was made in the early 1960s; and an insight into the people who started this epic journey.

Drawing from the BBC’s written archives and new interviews with some of those who were there, including Doctor Who’s first director Waris Hussein and original co-star Carole Ann Ford, Pull to Open is a detailed and comprehensive account of the programme’s path to the screen. Immerse yourself in the world of BBC Television in 1963 and discover how a series which was almost cancelled before a single episode was shown survived to cement its place in the popular culture of a nation.

From time to time, the Doctor Who Show devotes an episode to a series writer. A great chance to talk about numerous diverse episodes, sometimes from totally different eras of the show, only related by the name on the script.

In today's episode... Mark Gatiss. Possibly the most 'Marmite' of all Doctor Who writers, especially in the modern era. Fans tend to love and hate Gatiss' stories... but strangely can never agree which stories are meant to go in which column!

Stories covered in this episode include:

The Unquiet Dead
The Idiot’s Lantern
Victory of the Daleks
Night Terrors
Cold War
The Crimson Horror
Robot of Sherwood
Sleep No More
The Empress of Mars

Plus a number of 'extras' including Gatiss' New Adventure novels, Nightshade, and St. Anthony's Fire, and the 50th anniversary special, An Adventure in Space and Time.

Before then we also talk some recent Doctor Who news, including new cast members for the upcoming Ncuti Gatwa era; Davo's wife has written a book; and are there some missing episodes materialising from the ether in time for the 60th?

It is a sad week for the media and for Steven as Disney and many Makers of Pretend aren’t going to San Diego Comic Con, which means Doctor Who likely won’t, which means Steven likely won’t. Curses! We do however have news of Doctor Who books, Big Finish and Paul McGann appearing at LI Who in costume as well as digressions into Canadian history and Pink Floyd (as you do) in the penultimate instalment of…the Timelash!

From time to time, the Doctor Who Show devotes an episode to a series writer. A great chance to talk about numerous diverse episodes, sometimes from totally different eras of the show, only related by the name on the script.

In today's episode... Mark Gatiss. Possibly the most 'Marmite' of all Doctor Who writers, especially in the modern era. Fans tend to love and hate Gatiss' stories... but strangely can never agree which stories are meant to go in which column!

Stories covered in this episode include:

The Unquiet Dead
The Idiot’s Lantern
Victory of the Daleks
Night Terrors
Cold War
The Crimson Horror
Robot of Sherwood
Sleep No More
The Empress of Mars

Plus a number of 'extras' including Gatiss' New Adventure novels, Nightshade, and St. Anthony's Fire, and the 50th anniversary special, An Adventure in Space and Time.
