Latest Podcast Episodes

Some Seventh and Twelfth Doctor materials this week.

We start with Big Finish mainline story #79 Night Thoughts featuring the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Hex. Find out what they are up to, and what we thought of this atmospherically dark tale.

Then the Twelfth Doctor “auditions” more companions in Titan’s Year Two of his ongoing series. We look at issues #2.11 - #2.15.

Plus, our reaction to some of the news this week, including diversity in series 10.

And, of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

Our flight through the vast green void of the E-Space Trilogy continues, as we land on an unnamed planet inhabited only by playing-card monarchs, unconvincing plastic bats and press-on BBC beards. But we still have a pretty good time. Welcome to State of Decay.

Buy the story!

State of Decay was released on DVD in 2009. Unlike last week’s Full Circle, I can’t find it on sale by itself on Amazon in the US, but it’s available as part of the E-Space Trilogy box set from either of the Amazons. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

As is now well known, State of Decay started life as the Season 15 opener The Vampire Mutations, which was nixed by the BBC so that it wouldn’t steal the thunder from BBC’s own version of Dracula scheduled for broadcast that same year. The Wikipedia article on this lavish production links to several fairly positive reviews, despite Nathan’s tiresome and predictable insistence that it would have been simply terrible.

Terrance Dicks will revisit this unnamed planet in his Virgin New Adventures book Blood Harvest, published in July 1994, which is before some of you young people were even born, for God’s sake.

Doctor Who in 10 Seconds

These days, the Flight Through Entirety team can usually keep going on about a Doctor Who story for upwards of 40 minutes. But what if we only had 10 seconds?

In the latest (well, only) video project from Flight Through Entirety (well, just Brendan, really), Brendan summarises Doctor Who season by season, spending no more than 10 seconds on each story. Season 1 is up already; by the time you see these shownotes, Season 2 will probably be up too. You can see Brendan’s fabulous work here.

Bondfinger

Next week, we hope, we’ll be releasing our commentary podcast on Roger Moore’s Bond début, Live and Let Die, so you’ve got about a week to enjoy it one last time before we ruin it for you forever, probably. Our most recent commentary is on Diamonds Are Forever (1971). You can find our other commentaries on our website, and you can keep up with the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

Summary:

Adam J Purcell, Andy Simpkins, Keith Dunn and Scott Fuller sit down, copied, in front of the 2008 Doctor Who episode, The Doctor’s Daughter, and spout our usual nonsense!

The Doctor is feeling violated, Jenny’s surprisingly supple, the Hath have fish tanks attached to their faces and Martha’s just along for the ride. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy The Doctor’s Daughter...

Todd has given that helmic regulator quite a twist, I'm afraid, and we've found ourselves in the year 16,087, on a space station being menaced by bubble wrap and fibreglass ants. And still it's one of the best Doctor Who stories to date. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you The Ark in Space.

Buy the story!

The Ark in Space Special Edition was released on DVD in 2013. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

The novelisation, Doctor Who and the Ark in Space, written by Ian Marter himself, was re-released to celebrate Doctor Who's 50th anniversary in 2013. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Links and notes

Fans of this story and of Revelation of the Daleks will enjoy a delicious serving of Soylent Green (1973). (Spoilers: It's people.)

Sorry, dear listeners, we don't have any pictures of Ian Marter being giantly muscular. And don't think I didn't spend time looking.

This article from the Darwin's God blog discusses the life cycle of the ichneumon wasp and its impact on 19th-century theology.

J. V. McConnell, (1962) "Memory transfer through cannibalism in planarium", Journal of Neuropsychiatry 3 suppl 1 542-548. (See, we can be academically rigorous if we put our minds to it.)

This article from the website of the American Psychological Association discusses the history of James McConnell's article.

I'm not sure that Ridley Scott has ever actually admitted to ripping off this story in his film Alien (1979), but that hasn't stopped people from speculating about the possibility.

We haven't yet managed to upload Todd's interview with Lis Sladen, but we promise we're working on it. Keep an eye out for an announcement in the shownotes over the next few episodes. In the meantime, you can enjoy Lis Sladen's second appearance in this 1972 episode of Z Cars, directed by The Underwater Menace's Julia Smith.
