First it's Trail of the White Worm, followed with The Oseidon Adventure. We give our impressions on these two stories, and sum up the series as a whole. Also, some news of the week, including a certain assumption that show runner Steven Moffat may be around longer than previously thought. Plus, a...

Running through the night… It’s the Nimon! Actual cannibal Nimon!

Watch out, it’s the Space Minotaur! He’s chasing us down! Well, may as well take a quick break here and listen to Trust Your Doctor, I’m sure the minotaur will wait. I mean, Kiyan and Dylan are discussing The Horns of Nimon, written by Anthony Read, and aired in December of 1979 and January of 1980. Unfortunately for us, this serial was released 2 years before Rambo. Pity.

Welcome to Episode 194...

The News

The BBC isn't messing around with the recent leak and is off to court to track down and punish the naughty individual.

Merch Corner

The upcoming primer/volume 0 issue of the Thirteenth Doctor's comic run starting this September has had some details released.

"Dragonfire" Review

Series 24 is an odd beast to contend with. McCoy's first run around the block certainly divides opinion but how does this series finale hold up? Voted as McCoy's most popular story around the time of the 40th anniversary, do we concur or are we left hanging. Literally? Thank you for joining us for 194. Next week it's Torchwood's turn with Cyberwoman. Have a grrrrrreat week and until next time - Allons-y!

WHO 37 is on summer hiatus but will be back in the autumn with new episodes. In the meantime JB will be re-releasing some classic moments from the first year of the podcast which are no longer available on iTunes. This month JB represents all four parts of his commentary for the Season 14 classic story, "The Deadly Assassin". Originally appeared in Episodes #014 Goth Sausage Party, #015 WHO 37 at ARCHON 37, #019 Paul is Dead, and #021 Rassilon's Rod.

Our heroes focus again on the classic series, this time with a short visit to the "Key to Time" series with "The Pirate Planet", featuring the Fourth Doctor and Romana I. Is this a Douglas Adams masterpiece? Or just another trumped up swashbuckler? Listen and find out!

In the meantime, your brave hosts through space and time find themselves in a very familiar bar...although it's probably not the one you're thinking of....

In Episode 57: Game Of Thrones This Is Not, the guys joust over the Fifth Doctor story The King’s Demons, ruminate on the current state of Big Finish spin-offs, and discuss the last two episodes of the Big Finish 8th Doctor Time War box set. Oh, and in case you need something to put you to sleep, Pat reads his award-winning Lovecraft poem “Things Your Child Was Not Meant To Know”.

SHOW NOTES: Celebrities react to Jodie Whittaker – some are just sort of riffing and don't have any special interest in the question (incl. Christiane Amanpour, Tom Hanks, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Emilia Clarke, Sting and Shaggy, Jimmy Jam, Faith Evans, Meryl Streep): BBC America

Summary:

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

The Doctor’s lost control of the situation, Donna’s too busy trying to get a facial and Sky is repeating on our hero. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy Midnight...

Review of S03 E09 -- Family of Blood Visit handwavium.net for show notes or follow us @handwavium

So, we’ve changed the desktop theme, and we’re ready to start on the delightful Jon Pertwee’s final year on Doctor Who, as we discuss the first three stories of Season 11: The Time Warrior, Invasion of the Dinosaurs and Death to the Daleks. Oh, beshrew me, but I grow fond of this fellow!

Buy the stories!

The Time Warrior was released on DVD in 2007/2008, including an option to watch a version of the story with acceptable special effects. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Invasion of the Dinosaurs, sadly, has no such option. It was released as part of the UNIT Files box set in 2012. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

And finally, Death to the Daleks was released on DVD in 2012. So there’s that. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

The Time Warrior

Mark Gatiss and Katy Manning are among the contributors to the BBC Radio 4 documentary Black Aquarius, which discusses the wave of interest in the occult which washed over British popular culture in the 1970s. Or if that’s no longer available, fans of the 1970s might enjoy Cilla Black singing Aquarius instead.

I searched and searched for the interview with Peter Cushing posted on our Facebook page by friend-of-the-podcast John Edwards Davies. But I couldn’t find it. In the meantime, here’s Peter Cushing being interviewed about the Hammer Horror films by Terry Wogan in 1988.

Brendan mentions John Dorney’s audio drama Special Features, which is a single-episode story released by Big Finish as part of The Demons of Red Lodge and Other Stories.

Moonbase 3 was a BBC science-fiction series designed to be Terrance Dicks and Barry Letts’s escape route from Doctor Who. Dr Elizabeth Sandifer is less than impressed with it.

Like Linx, Eddie Izzard is aware of the importance of having a flag when conquering new territories.

Invasion of the Dinosaurs

Here’s Barry Letts hating on the dinosaurs from Invasion of the Dinosaurs.

I wish I could find John Molyneux’s video of dinosaurs snogging to the tune of Je t’aime, but just I can’t. I remember seeing it in the 90s, and it was superb. Anyone who knows where it is, please, please, let me know the URL and I promise I’ll post it.

Here’s a hilarious (and somewhat racist) taste of the Disney classic One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing (1975), starring, oh, okay, featuring television’s Jon Pertwee.

Fans of truly terrible things will enjoy this clip from Blue Peter in 1974, featuring the Whomobile, Jon Pertwee and Peter Purvis.

The novelisation of this story is called The Dinosaur Invasion, and it’s brilliant. It was originally released in 1976 with a fab pop-art cover by Chris Achilleos, and then it was re-released in 1978 with a more conventional cover by Jeff Cummins. You can compare the two here. The audiobook is read by Martin Jarvis, and it’s great as well. (Audible US) (Audible UK)

Death to the Daleks

We discussed Erich Von Däniken’s crazy Chariots of the Gods? a few episodes back. This story, with its tales of Exxilon astronauts building pyramids in Peru, is not the last time that this book will be relevant.

Fans of romping adventure romps will enjoy She, by H. Rider Haggard, first published in 1886. Fans of Ursula Andress will enjoy the film version starring Ursula Andress, first released in 1965.

Nathan was right. Famously terrible British novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton was responsible for the opening line “It was a dark and stormy night”. Fans of terrible opening lines will enjoy the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest. Fans of somewhat shorter opening lines will enjoy Adam Cadre’s Little Lytton Contest.

And here’s some more exuberant crossplay from Brendan. SEE Bonnie Langford seeing Brendan dressed as Bonnie Langford!

Follow us!

Brendan is on Twitter as @brandybongos, Nathan is @nathanbottomley, and Richard is angry about Twitter and just wishes you kids would get off his lawn. You can follow the podcast on Twitter as @FTEpodcast, while The Trust Your Doctor podcast is on Twitter as @TYDpocast. Bless them.

We’re also on Facebook, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. And please consider rating or reviewing us on iTunes. Or Linx will come around to your house and criticise the construction of your thorax.

Just like that John Travolta movie.

This week we move into season 25. Can you believe we’ve almost finished 25 years of Doctor Who? Time wise that’s almost half of all the time it’s existed. It’s Remembrance of the Daleks, written by Ben Aaronvitch and aired in October of 1988.

None of us have slept for weeks, and our exposure to Twitter has taught us that technological progress must be resisted at all costs. So join in with us as we smash the machines and discuss The Mark of the Rani.

Buy the story!

The Mark of Rani was released on DVD in 2006. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

Spy vs Spy was a long-running wordless comic strip which featured for decades in MAD Magazine.

Fans of period drama where the principals aren't wearing the most horrific clothes possible will enjoy The Pallisers and When the Boat Comes In.

Brendan mentions Cornell, Day and Topping's opinion on this story's rubber trees in their Discontinuity Guide entry on this story.

Before taking on the role of the Doctor, Colin Baker was most famous for his role as Paul Merroney in The Brothers, which ran from 1972 to 1976, and also featured television's fabulous Kate O'Mara.

Horrifically, Bic pens for women were actually a real thing. Here's Ellen's take on the topic.

For those of you who don't live and breathe the history of Doctor Who, Michael Grade was Controller of BBC One in 1985. In February of that year, he announced that Doctor Who was cancelled; later on, he announced instead that it would be "rested" for eighteen months.

Brendan, who was basically born to find redemptive readings for the worst Doctor Who stories ever, is a major contributor to the newly-published, Hating to Love: Re-evaluating the 52 Worst Doctor Who Stories of All Time, which is available in all good bookstores everywhere. And on the Kindle.

So, we’ve changed the desktop theme, and we’re ready to start on the delightful Jon Pertwee’s final year on Doctor Who, as we discuss the first three stories of Season 11: The Time Warrior, Invasion of the Dinosaurs and Death to the Daleks. Oh, beshrew me, but I grow fond of this fellow!

Buy the stories!

The Time Warrior was released on DVD in 2007/2008, including an option to watch a version of the story with acceptable special effects. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Invasion of the Dinosaurs, sadly, has no such option. It was released as part of the UNIT Files box set in 2012. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

And finally, Death to the Daleks was released on DVD in 2012. So there’s that. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

The Time Warrior

Mark Gatiss and Katy Manning are among the contributors to the BBC Radio 4 documentary Black Aquarius, which discusses the wave of interest in the occult which washed over British popular culture in the 1970s. Or if that’s no longer available, fans of the 1970s might enjoy Cilla Black singing Aquarius instead.

I searched and searched for the interview with Peter Cushing posted on our Facebook page by friend-of-the-podcast John Edwards Davies. But I couldn’t find it. In the meantime, here’s Peter Cushing being interviewed about the Hammer Horror films by Terry Wogan in 1988.

Brendan mentions John Dorney’s audio drama Special Features, which is a single-episode story released by Big Finish as part of The Demons of Red Lodge and Other Stories.

Moonbase 3 was a BBC science-fiction series designed to be Terrance Dicks and Barry Letts’s escape route from Doctor Who. Dr Elizabeth Sandifer is less than impressed with it.

Like Linx, Eddie Izzard is aware of the importance of having a flag when conquering new territories.

Invasion of the Dinosaurs

Here’s Barry Letts hating on the dinosaurs from Invasion of the Dinosaurs.

I wish I could find John Molyneux’s video of dinosaurs snogging to the tune of Je t’aime, but just I can’t. I remember seeing it in the 90s, and it was superb. Anyone who knows where it is, please, please, let me know the URL and I promise I’ll post it.

Here’s a hilarious (and somewhat racist) taste of the Disney classic One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing (1975), starring, oh, okay, featuring television’s Jon Pertwee.

Fans of truly terrible things will enjoy this clip from Blue Peter in 1974, featuring the Whomobile, Jon Pertwee and Peter Purvis.

The novelisation of this story is called The Dinosaur Invasion, and it’s brilliant. It was originally released in 1976 with a fab pop-art cover by Chris Achilleos, and then it was re-released in 1978 with a more conventional cover by Jeff Cummins. You can compare the two here. The audiobook is read by Martin Jarvis, and it’s great as well. (Audible US) (Audible UK)

Death to the Daleks

We discussed Erich Von Däniken’s crazy Chariots of the Gods? a few episodes back. This story, with its tales of Exxilon astronauts building pyramids in Peru, is not the last time that this book will be relevant.

Fans of romping adventure romps will enjoy She, by H. Rider Haggard, first published in 1886. Fans of Ursula Andress will enjoy the film version starring Ursula Andress, first released in 1965.

Nathan was right. Famously terrible British novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton was responsible for the opening line “It was a dark and stormy night”. Fans of terrible opening lines will enjoy the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest. Fans of somewhat shorter opening lines will enjoy Adam Cadre’s Little Lytton Contest.

And here’s some more exuberant crossplay from Brendan. SEE Bonnie Langford seeing Brendan dressed as Bonnie Langford!

None of us have slept for weeks, and our exposure to Twitter has taught us that technological progress must be resisted at all costs. So join in with us as we smash the machines and discuss The Mark of the Rani.

Buy the story!

The Mark of Rani was released on DVD in 2006. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

Spy vs Spy was a long-running wordless comic strip which featured for decades in MAD Magazine.

Fans of period drama where the principals aren't wearing the most horrific clothes possible will enjoy The Pallisers and When the Boat Comes In.

Brendan mentions Cornell, Day and Topping's opinion on this story's rubber trees in their Discontinuity Guide entry on this story.

Before taking on the role of the Doctor, Colin Baker was most famous for his role as Paul Merroney in The Brothers, which ran from 1972 to 1976, and also featured television's fabulous Kate O'Mara.
