Discussing Who on Facebook (Group)

There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea's asleep, and the rivers dream. People made of smoke, and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace, we've got work to do!

This week, all four of us assemble on Horsenden Hill to light a fire, muck about, and discuss the last story of the 26-year run of the Classic Series. It's Survival.

Buy the story!

Survival was released on DVD in 2007. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

Fans of the music of Dominic Glynn will also enjoy FTE's multi-award winning radio drama Time Inc.

The Planet of the Cheetah People (Cheetos in the constellation of Acinonyx) operates like a single biological entity. The Gaia Hypothesis postulates that the Earth operates in the same way.

Horrifyingly, Adele Silva is now 37 years old, and is famous for playing Kelly Windsor on Emmerdale. She's a mum now.

Picks of the week

Nathan

For the second time, Nathan's pick is the New to Who podcast, which covers those Doctor Who stories which you might actually want to watch, particularly if you're a fan of the New Series.

Brendan

Dominic Glynn has recently released an EP called The Happiness Patrol Remixes, with new versions of the superb incidental music he composed for that story

Todd

Fans of both unnecessarily long films and TV's Sylvester McCoy will want to rush out and buy the Blu-ray box set of The Hobbit Motion Picture Trilogy. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Richard

Richard has been enjoying the Titan Comics Doctor Who range, particularly those starring the Ninth Doctor and the Twelfth Doctor.

He also recommends listening to Sam Waxman's film noir scores, just to see how this sort of thing can be done really well.

Follow us!

Brendan is on Twitter as @critiqaltheory, Nathan is @nathanbottomley, Todd is @toddbeilby and Richard is @RichardLStone. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam, and the logo was designed by Anthony Wells. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast. And more surprising and completely reliable information about the show can be found at @FTEwhofacts.

We're also on Facebook, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on iTunes, or we'll secretly cancel your favourite TV show so that you don't realise for a couple of years that it's over forever and is never ever coming back.

Bondfinger

Over on Bondfinger, we've resumed our long-delayed flight through the Pierce Brosnan Era, which is nice, with the release of our latest commentary on The World Is Not Enough.

Our commentaries on the first two Pierce Brosnan films are still available, and so are our commentaries on the Timothy Dalton films.

We also have plenty of Rodgecasts online, and there are other Bonds available, as well. Even fake ones.

You can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

It’s the end of another season of Flight Through Entirety, we’ve run out of money and no one really gives a crap anymore. So join us as we listlessly discuss the worst story of the 1980s: it’s Time-Flight.

Don’t buy the story!

Time-Flight was released on DVD in 2007. In the US, it was released on its own (Amazon US), but in the UK and Australia it was released along with Arc of Infinity in an unspeakably horrid box set (Amazon UK).

Notes and links

Brendan has written an essay on Time-Flight in the upcoming anthology Hating to Love: Re-evaluating the 52 worst Doctor Who Stories of All Time, edited by J R Southall of The Blue Box Podcast.

Cornell, Day and Topping are the authors of The Discontinuity Guide, a repository of hilarious facts about the classic series. Here’s their take on Time-Flight.

This French & Saunders sketch tells you everything you need to know about what went wrong with Doctor Who in the 1980s. Sorry about the crappy quality though.

Angela Clifford dragging the TARDIS around the Jurassic tundra, inevitably reminds Brendan of this scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Picks of the week

Brendan

Now that they’ve got rid of Tegan, the Doctor and Nyssa are free to go off on a series of Big Finish adventures. Brendan recommends Creatures of Beauty, but Circular Time and Spare Parts are also available.

Nathan

Two recommendations: @JohnnySpandrell’s brilliant Doctor Who blog, Random Whoness, and the elegiac non-Euclidean puzzler game Monument Valley, availabl on both iOS and Android.

Richard

The children’s books of E. Nesbit, an English children’s author whose books were published in the early twentieth century, including The Railway Children, Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet and The Woodbegoods.

Doctor Who in 10 Seconds

While Brendan edits the next episode of Doctor Who in 10 Seconds, in which he speedily summarises the delightfully strange and groundbreaking Doctor Who Series 5, why not take the opportunity to watch all of the previous videos in the series by checking out the playlist on YouTube?

Bondfinger

Next weekend we’ll be recording our commentary on Moonraker (1979) for release the following weekend, so there’s that to look forward to, I guess. While you wait, you can listen to our previous commentaries, including The Spy Who Loved Me, The Man with the Golden Gun and Live and Let Die. You can find all of our commentaries on our website, and you can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

We're joined in the marble halls of The Whoseum this week by Marc (for it is he) Atkinson of the Progtor Who Podcast.

Marc arrived driving a forklift as it was the only way he could transport his item for exhibition and discussion - the "Doctor Who: The Vault" book from the 50th anniversary.

We also look at Ed Stradling's trilogy of musical blockbusters, "The Doctor Who Years" tapes.

Along the way, Hayden and Marc chat about music while the Whoseum computer translates for a confused and unmusical Doc. We remember the taste of Dalek Death Ray ice lollies from the 1970s. And Hayden relates yet another jammy anecdote from his life.

(00:37:40) "Doctor Who: The Vault" by Marcus Hearn was released for Doctor Who's 50th anniversary.

(00:43:55) Our co-host (when he turns up), Matt recently interviewed Louise Jameson (Leela) at the Fab Cafe in Manchester.

(00:51:22) "The Doctor Who Years" was a streaming video, charting the history of Doctor Who, which was broadcast on BBCi's official Doctor Who website to coincide with the return of the series to BBC Television screens in 2005, and was intended to present a potted history of the original Doctor Who series, broadcast between 1963-1989. The video was presented in three parts, The Sixties, The Seventies and The Eighties, and featured material from every Doctor Who serial, presented chronologically and accompanied by narrative text and pop music that had featured in the UK Singles Chart at the time the clips were originally broadcast. The Sixties was produced by SVS, The Seventies and The Eighties were produced by Ed Stradling. The videos were commissioned by James Goss, then editor of the BBCi's Doctor Who website.

Rob and Dave have decided to occasionally take a look at great TV series and movies they enjoy, broadly from the genres of sci-fi and fantasy.

Not only will they look at them from all the usual angles you'd expect, but also what the broad appeal to a Doctor Who fan might be.

In this second episode, Babylon 5.

Babylon 5 is an American science fiction television series created by writer and producer J. Michael Straczynski. After the successful airing of a test pilot movie on February 22, 1993, Babylon 5: The Gathering, in May 1993 Warner Brothers commissioned the series for production as part of its Prime Time Entertainment Network (PTEN).

The first season premiered in the US on January 26, 1994, and the series ultimately ran for the intended five seasons. Describing it as having "always been conceived as, fundamentally, a five year story, a novel for television", Straczynski wrote 92 of the 110 episodes, and served as executive producer, along with Douglas Netter.

Set between the years 2257 and 2262, it depicts a future where Earth has sovereign states, and a unifying Earth government. Colonies within the solar system, and beyond, make up the Earth Alliance, and contact has been made with other spacefaring species.

The ensemble cast portray alien ambassadorial staff and humans assigned to the five mile-long Babylon 5 space station, a center for trade and diplomacy. Described as "one of the most complex programs on television", the various story arcs drew upon the prophesies, religious zealotry, racial tensions, social pressures, and political rivalries which existed within each of their cultures, to create a contextual framework for the motivations and consequences of the protagonists' actions.

With a strong emphasis on character development set against a backdrop of conflicting ideologies on multiple levels, Straczynski wanted "to take an adult approach to SF, and attempt to do for television SF what Hill Street Blues did for cop shows."

Along the way, Hayden and Marc chat about music while the Whoseum computer translates for a confused and unmusical Doc. We remember the taste of Dalek Death Ray ice lollies from the 1970s. And Hayden relates yet another jammy anecdote from his life.

SHOWNOTES

Our guest this week is Marc Atkinson of the Progtor Who podcast. Mark first joined Hayden on Diddly Dum episode 051 “Podcasters Assemble 2”. Marc’s Twitter account can be found here and the Progtor Who Twitter account can be found here. Marc’s band is Riversea.

(00:37:40) “Doctor Who: The Vault” by Marcus Hearn was released for Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary.

(00:43:55) Our co-host (when he turns up), Matt recently interviewed Louise Jameson (Leela) at the Fab Cafe in Manchester. Footage of his interview can be found on Youtube here (part 1) and here (part 2) and includes in the background at one point the TV commercial for the Denys Fisher Doctor Who toy range from 1977.

(00:49:00) "The Amazing World of Doctor Who" - other pictures on our Tumblr page here.

(00:51:22) “The Doctor Who Years” was a streaming video, charting the history of Doctor Who, which was broadcast on BBCi’s official Doctor Who website to coincide with the return of the series to BBC Television screens in 2005, and was intended to present a potted history of the original Doctor Who series, broadcast between 1963-1989. The video was presented in three parts, The Sixties, The Seventies and The Eighties, and featured material from every Doctor Who serial, presented chronologically and accompanied by narrative text and pop music that had featured in the UK Singles Chart at the time the clips were originally broadcast. The Sixties was produced by SVS, The Seventies and The Eighties were produced by Ed Stradling. The videos were commissioned by James Goss, then editor of the BBCi’s Doctor Who website.

Links to these video clips can be found (gradually because they’re still being uploaded) on our Youtube page here (for as long as they last).

(01:03:45) Jon Pertwee arriving in Bessie at Billy Smart’s Circus.

There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea’s asleep, and the rivers dream. People made of smoke, and cities made of song. Somewhere there’s danger, somewhere there’s injustice, and somewhere else the tea’s getting cold. Come on, Ace, we’ve got work to do!

This week, all four of us assemble on Horsenden Hill to light a fire, muck about, and discuss the last story of the 26-year run of the Classic Series. It’s Survival.

Buy the story!

Survival was released on DVD in 2007. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

Fans of the music of Dominic Glynn will also enjoy FTE’s multi-award winning radio drama Time Inc.

The Planet of the Cheetah People (Cheetos in the constellation of Acinonyx) operates like a single biological entity. The Gaia Hypothesis postulates that the Earth operates in the same way.

Horrifyingly, Adele Silva is now 37 years old, and is famous for playing Kelly Windsor on Emmerdale. She’s a mum now.

Picks of the week

Nathan

For the second time, Nathan’s pick is the New to Who podcast, which covers those Doctor Who stories which you might actually want to watch, particularly if you’re a fan of the New Series.

Brendan

Dominic Glynn has recently released an EP called The Happiness Patrol Remixes, with new versions of the superb incidental music he composed for that story

Todd

Fans of both unnecessarily long films and TV’s Sylvester McCoy will want to rush out and buy the Blu-ray box set of The Hobbit Motion Picture Trilogy. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Richard

Richard has been enjoying the Titan Comics Doctor Who range, particularly those starring the Ninth Doctor and the Twelfth Doctor.

He also recommends listening to Sam Waxman‘s film noir scores, just to see how this sort of thing can be done really well.

Follow us!

Brendan is on Twitter as @brandybongos, Nathan is @nathanbottomley, Todd is @toddbeilby and Richard is @RichardLStone. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam, and the logo was designed by Anthony Wells. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast. And more surprising and completely reliable information about the show can be found at @FTEwhofacts.

We’re also on Facebook, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on iTunes, or we’ll secretly cancel your favourite TV show so that you don’t realise for a couple of years that it’s over forever and is never ever coming back.

Bondfinger

Over on Bondfinger, we’ve resumed our long-delayed flight through the Pierce Brosnan Era, which is nice, with the release of our latest commentary on The World Is Not Enough.

Our commentaries on the first two Pierce Brosnan films are still available, and so are our commentaries on the Timothy Dalton films.

We also have plenty of Rodgecasts online, and there are other Bonds available, as well. Even fake ones.

You can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

The First Doctor, Barbara, Ian, and Vicki have found themselves in a museum, or rather they have found a future version of themselves on display in a museum. This presents a real problem when they finally catch up with themselves. Luckily there are a convenient group of rebels just waiting around for someone to take charge.

Links of note:

• New TARDIS team announced
• Ace, Romana and Leela all may meet the Time War Master
• Big Finish brings back the Doctor’s daughter for her own series
• Clive Swift’s horrendously bad interview in Doctor Who Magazine ‘resurfaces’

What you are about to hear is the story of a connection, a connection that was made between a television series and a viewer's life.

The You and Who books are the story of that connection, as told by the people who watch the programmes that make us come alive. Chiefly, of course, Doctor Who.

This podcast will relate some of the stories from those books... and beyond.

In this episode:

Children Like Jelly (And Other Lies That Adults Tell): Moondial written and read by Martha Oster

With an introduction featuring Rob Irwin talking to JR Southall.

The You and Who books, from which all royalties are paid to charity, are available in print and for Kindle, from watchingbooks.weebly.com

It's nearly 5 o'clock on Friday, April 23, 1982 and David has a decision to make. With the weekend fast approaching, homework for sixth grade could wait, but could he put off going over to his friend's house to play the new Pac-Man game on his neighbor's Atari 2600 before dinner? Or, should he stay home and watch the new adventure of Doctor Who starting in 10 minutes. Pac-Man or Doctor Who? Decisions, decisions, decisions... This is a flashback Metebelis 2 podcast on Image of the Fendahl. Opening music is The Cars 1982 single "Think it Over". Closing music is an excerpt from the Image of the Fendahl score composed by Dudley Simpson.

The first of an occasional series in which Ben and Mark take a look at films with tangential links to Doctor Who. To begin with though, it's a film with an overt link to Doctor Who, 1966's Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150AD to celebrate 50 years since it's UK release. Did the Daleks exterminate British cinema and is there a deeper, cultural reason behind the film's failure at the box office?

Episode 57 - Mark and Rob again set the way back machine to the late 80's for a full length episode of Dragged from the Archives. We crack open the fanzine vault and look back at contemporary reaction to Season 25, the recovery of missing episodes, the Ultimate adventure play and the new producer destined to bring the programme into the 90's!! All this plus we get all high-brow discussing Dr Who's mention in the Australian Financial Review and the bizarre parallels to the political situation in the UK and the 1985 cancellation crisis!

Hey Who fans. Before we kick off Revisits Month and chat through Remembrance, we have a couple of news and merch items to get through...

The News

The upcoming remastered/restored/reanimated release of Shada is going out in Australian cinemas and we have our first director named for Series 11.

Merch Corner

Dalek Tat throws us this week - the 4th Doctor is teaming up with River Song for Big Finish's The Diary of River Song Series 4 and Jenny, The Doctor's Daughter, is also heading to Big Finish for a 2018 release.

"Remembrance of the Daleks" Review

We reviewed this way back in episode 6 (June 2014!) and while Adam's love of the story has remained consistent, Garry had a less than favourable opinion. Now seems like a good time to re-look at this often well viewed Dalek story as Garry's view of the 7th Doctor has changed dramatically over the past year. Same deal or has this been elevated to higher scores? All we know is - there's always room for unlimited rice pudding! Thank you so much as always for listening and sending us your reviews. Next week we continue Revisits Month with the 4th Doctor classic - Pyramids of Mars. Until then have a great week and remember - Allons-y!
