A troubling (lack of) cliffhanger leads Josh, Erik, Kyle and Sean to wonder only for a moment if someone is going to shoot the pianist. The only surprising thing is that not that many people get shot in this episode even despite the fact that everyone has a gun and everyone is waving them around. So enjoy the revelry and the uncontrollable need to sing in Episode 2.

On the thrity-fifth edition of Reality Bomb, we're puzzling about how Matt Lucas is going to play Nardole, given how little there is of him, and pondering the first Series 10 writers that have been announced with Richard Salter and Edie Nugent. We're looking back on Doomsday 10 years later with Head Over Feels' Sage Young and Kim Rogers. And we wake up to the possibilities in what will probably be one of the lower regarded stories from the past season when Martin Hajovsky brings Sleep No More to the Gallery of the Underrated. All this plus an infomercial that will change your life when it comes to freaking out about Doctor Who!

Apparently butterfly = blueberry with wings. This is some high level math.

I think our episode where we talk about almost nothing is pretty representative of this week’s serial, where the characters to practically nothing. If you guessed Edge of Destruction, you’re completely wrong, it’s Black Orchid. Written by the ever illustrious Terence Dudley and aired in March of 1982.

As usual, this week, Brendan, Nathan and Richard are condemned to an unending cycle of suffering and futility, relieved only temporarily by ruminations on the existence of Nerys Hughes. So, hold off on the fire and acid for just forty minutes or so: enough time to hear us discussing Kinda.

Buy the story!

Kinda was released on DVD in 2001. It's available by itself in the US, but in the UK and Australia it was released alongside next year's Snakedance in a box set called Mara Tales. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

Almost immediately, Richard identifies some books which might have inspired this story, including Ursula LeGuin's 1989 Novel The Word for World is Forest, Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, and, most importantly, Chinua Achebe's 1994 novel Things Fall Apart.

If you are in any way sceptical of the claim that Tegan's entire dream sequence is reminiscent of an 80s pop video, you might be convinced by the 1980 video of Visage's "Fade to Grey".

Mary Morris plays (another) Number Two in the eighth episode of The Prisoner episode Dance of the Dead. She's dead posh in it. Take a look.

Blue Box Boy (yes, we're linking to it again) tells the story of Matthew Waterhouse coaching Richard Todd. Matthew does claim that he was joking when he told him "Of course, the secret to TV acting is not to look at the camera!" (Amazon US) (Amazon UK) (Amazon AU)

There's a notable omission from Will Brooks's photographic cover for one of Paul Cornell's upcoming Titan comics featuring the Third Doctor. Remind me, why are we talking about Richard Franklin again?

Aris wrestling with the snake on the studio floor at the climax reminds Richard of Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders in Lucky Bitches. But even if that wasn't true, I'd be tempted to link to it anyway.

Summary:

Adam J Purcell, Andy Simpkins and Keith Dunn sit down, twinned, in front of the 2008 Doctor Who Christmas special, The Next Doctor, and spout our usual nonsense!

The Doctor thinks he’s seeing double, the Cybermen have themselves some furry pets and Jackson Lake doesn’t even get to use his own TARDIS. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy The Next Doctor...

Doctor Who in 10 Seconds

Doctor Who in 10 seconds continues to be a thing, and so while you wait for Brendan’s groundbreaking Season 4 episode, why not revisit the spectacle of Brendan hilariously summarising each Doctor Who story of the first three seasons in no more than 10 seconds? Just check out the playlist on YouTube.

Bondfinger

Well, we’ve recorded our latest commentary podcast on The Spy Who Loved Me for release next week. Exciting, what?

In the meantime, you can enjoy our commentaries on all of the preceding Bond films, including The Man with the Golden Gun, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and Dr. No. You can find these commentaries on our website, and you can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

Time has, for the most part, come to the end of the DVD range of Doctor Who. And it ended, some would say, not with a bang but with a whimper...with the recently found missing episode of "The Underwater" menace, the BBC was quick to capitalize on their new find by quickly releasing the story on DVD. Is this the new "Enemy of the World"? Or should "The Underwater Menace" be tossed into the Time Lash?

Listen in as we discuss preposterous fish people, sonic mining, the trouble with triple companions, and what may be one of our favorite villains of all time.

My classic series re-watch reaches the end of the Troughton era and the epic length Doctor Who: The War Games, a story that maintains its interest surprisingly well over the course of ten episodes.
