Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 7 minutes and 28 secondsAnd now it’s time for the Trial storyline to implode completely. Nathan turns out to be a distillation of all that is evil in Todd, and Brendan has just stormed out with the only copy of this episode’s script. It’s the last two episodes of The Trial of a Time Lord — The Ultimate Foe.

Just one link this week
So, here’s our weekly link to Eric Saward’s tell-all interview in Starburst.
Picks of the week
Brendan
Brendan recommends Matrix, by Robert Perry & Mike Tucker, a BBC Past Doctor Adventure which answers the seldom-asked question, So what’s the Valeyard up to these days?
Peri’s ultimate fate is explored by Nev Fountain in Big Finish audio Peri and the Piscon Paradox.
(Brendan also mentions in passing the New Adventures novel Bad Therapy, which features the Seventh Doctor and Peri, weirdly.)
Nathan
Nathan goes embarrassingly highbrow again, recommending the BBC1 comedy frock drama Decline and Fall, based on the novel by Evelyn Waugh.
Todd
Todd comes up with a couple of excitingly silly recommendations this week: the film Beauty and the Beast, and the CW teen drama Riverdale. More sensibly, he recommends any Big Finish audio starring Colin Baker and Bonnie Langford. And a final shout-out to Big Finish audio Wirrn Isle.
Carrot juice, carrot juice, carrot juice
This week, we say farewell to Colin on television, but here on the podcast we’re not willing to say goodbye yet. In two weeks’ time, we’ll be doing a very special episode on some of our favourite Colin Baker Big Finish audios.
If you want to prepare for this episode, here are the stories you should listen to.
- Jubilee, by Rob Shearman.
- The One Doctor, by Gareth Roberts and Clayton Hickman.
- Doctor Who and the Pirates, by Jacqueline Rayner.
- The Brink of Death, by Nicholas Briggs, the final story in The Last Adventure box set.

The Demeter Seed Game
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 46 secondsAfter the stressful events of last week, we’ve decided to treat ourselves to a luxury cruise. Brendan’s working out in a pink tracksuit, Todd’s playing Galaxian and terrorising the waitress, and Nathan’s hanging around the communications room with an axe. And, in order to protect a secret hidden on the space liner, one of us will become a murderer. And there are Vervoids, of course.
Buy the story!
Terror of the Vervoids was (again) released as part of the Trial of a Time Lord box set in 2008/2009. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)
Notes and links
Originally considered for this slot in the Trial was a story called Paradise 5, by P J Hammond. It has since been adapted for audio by Big Finish as part of its Lost Stories range.
Michael Craig, who is this story’s Beryl Reid, later went on to star as Dr William Sharp in the ABC drama series GP, set in a medical practice in inner-city Sydney.
This story has no Script Editor credit at all, because Eric Saward has ragequit the show. So let’s link to his pungent Starburst interview one more time.
Here’s are some future Colin Baker stories that the Doctor probably should have chosen to present as evidence instead: The Marian Conspiracy, Arrangements for War and The One Doctor. (More of which later.)
Bonnie Langford brings a dark past to her time on the show. She played Violet Elizabeth Bott in the Just William television series in 1976 and 1977. You can see some of her very early work here. (Don’t skip this one. You really need to click on that link.)
You can find a detailed account of Noël Coward’s cruel remarks about Bonnie Langford here, including another quip that we didn’t mention.
Sciencey murderer Doland is played by Malcolm Tierney, who played horrific northern Tory Patrick Woolton in the original British House of Cards (1990).
The Brink of Death
The Colin Baker Era is about to meet an untimely end, but Colin’s Sixth Doctor lives on very successfully in the Big Finish audios. So to round out our appreciation of the era, we’re planning a Very Special Episode in which we discuss some of Colin’s audio highlights.
If you want to prepare for this episode, here are the stories you should listen to.
- Jubilee, by Rob Shearman.
- The One Doctor, by Gareth Roberts and Clayton Hickman.
- Doctor Who and the Pirates, by Jacqueline Rayner.
- The Brink of Death, by Nicholas Briggs, the final story in The Last Adventure box set.

Michael Craig, who is this story's Beryl Reid, later went on to star as Dr William Sharp in the ABC drama series GP, set in a medical practice in inner-city Sydney.
This story has no Script Editor credit at all, because Eric Saward has ragequit the show. So let's link to his pungent Starburst interview one more time.
Here's are some future Colin Baker stories that the Doctor probably should have chosen to present as evidence instead: The Marian Conspiracy, Arrangements for War and The One Doctor. (More of which later.)
Bonnie Langford brings a dark past to her time on the show. She played Violet Elizabeth Bott in the Just William television series in 1976 and 1977. You can see some of her very early work here. (Don't skip this one. You really need to click on that link.)
You can find a detailed account of Noel Coward's cruel remarks about Bonnie Langford here, including another quip that we didn't mention.
Sciencey murderer Doland is played by Malcolm Tierney, who played horrific northern Tory Patrick Woolton in the original British House of Cards (1990).
The Brink of Death
The Colin Baker Era is about to meet an untimely end, but Colin's Sixth Doctor lives on very successfully in the Big Finish audios. So to round out our appreciation of the era, we're planning a Very Special Episode in which we discuss some of Colin's audio highlights.
If you want to prepare for this episode, here are the stories you should listen to.
- Jubilee, by Rob Shearman.
- The One Doctor, by Gareth Roberts and Clayton Hickman.
- Doctor Who and the Pirates, by Jacqueline Rayner.
- The Brink of Death, by Nicholas Briggs, the final story in The Last Adventure box set.
He just likes to irritate people
There's still time for you to vote for a Tom Baker story for the four of us to talk all over for our next commentary episode. Just pop over to last week's shownotes and cast your vote.

The Demeter Seed Game
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 46 secondsAfter the stressful events of last week, we've decided to treat ourselves to a luxury cruise. Brendan's working out in a pink tracksuit, Todd's playing Galaxian and terrorising the waitress, and Nathan's hanging around the communications room with an axe. And, in order to protect a secret hidden on the space liner, one of us will become a murderer. And there are Vervoids, of course.

I’m Supposed to Be Cross
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 56 minutes and 35 secondsThis week, Brendan, Nathan and Todd go for a lovely walk in a rain-drenched forest, only to find themselves dragged halfway across the galaxy by the Time Lords and placed on trial to answer for their crimes. It’s Parts 1 to 4 of the longest Doctor Who story ever — The Trial of a Time Lord: The Mysterious Planet.
Buy the story!
The Mysterious Planet was released as part of the Trial of a Time Lord box set in 2008/2009. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)
Notes and links
Trials and Tribulations is a 55-minute documentary covering the production problems that plagued the Colin Baker era, and the 1985 cancellation in particular. Do not miss this.
After leaving the show in 1986, Eric Saward gave an interview to Starburst magazine, in which he mounted an attack on John Nathan-Turner. It’s an eyewatering read.
In 1989, Jon Pertwee starred in a Doctor Who stage play called The Ultimate Adventure. During the run, Colin Baker took over in a somewhat less horrific version of his TV costume.
Fans of Mollie Sugden as Mrs Slocombe will undoubtedly enjoy watching her trapped on a spaceship in the year 2050 in BBC sitcom Come Back Mrs Noah (1977).
In this story, whiskerless youth Balazar is played by Adam Blackwood. Blackwood can also be seen playing Tok in Season 4 Blakes 7 episode Assassin, in which he is bidding on slaves at the behest of Natratof of Gourimpest. He also plays Barmy Fotheringay Phipps in various episodes of Jeeves and Wooster. Most surprisingly, he is the voice of James Bond himself in the 2001 videogame 007: Agent Under Fire. You can get an idea of what he’s like in [this video on YouTube][video].
[video]: https://youtu.be/BUu5qRHAxis
In a nearby parallel universe, Glitz and Dibber were played by French and Saunders. Which is as good an excuse as any to link to this video of the two of them playing extras on the set of Trial of a Time Lord. You can also see them in the BBC sitcom Girls on Top (1985).

Notes and links
Trials and Tribulations is a 55-minute documentary covering the production problems that plagued the Colin Baker era, and the 1985 cancellation in particular. Do not miss this.
After leaving the show in 1986, Eric Saward gave an interview to Starburst magazine, in which he mounted an attack on John Nathan-Turner. It’s an eyewatering read.
In 1989, Jon Pertwee starred in a Doctor Who stage play called The Ultimate Adventure. During the run, Colin Baker took over in a somewhat less horrific version of his TV costume.
Fans of Mollie Sugden as Mrs Slocombe will undoubtedly enjoy watching her trapped on a spaceship in the year 2050 in BBC sitcom Come Back Mrs Noah (1977).
In this story, whiskerless youth Balazar is played by Adam Blackwood. Blackwood can also be seen playing Tok in Season 4 Blakes 7 episode Assassin, in which he is bidding on slaves at the behest of Natratof of Gourimpest. He also plays Barmy Fotheringay Phipps in various episodes of Jeeves and Wooster. Most surprisingly, he is the voice of James Bond himself in the 2001 videogame 007: Agent Under Fire. You can get an idea of what he’s like in [this video on YouTube][video].

In a nearby parallel universe, Glitz and Dibber were played by French and Saunders. Which is as good an excuse as any to link to this video of the two of them playing extras on the set of Trial of a Time Lord. You can also see them in the BBC sitcom Girls on Top (1985).

Episode 107: Don't Do It Again, Todd
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 4 minutes and 8 secondsThe walls between realities were fairly porous back in 1986, which is why we find ourselves this week in a terrifying parallel universe where the Hiatus never happened, and the original plans for Season 23 actually came to fruition. Beware.
Buy the stories!
Here are the four stories that we spend most of our time discussing:
- The novel of Slipback was published in 1987, but it's now out of print. It's still available in its original form as an audiobook. (Audible US) (Audible UK) (Audible AU)
- The Nightmare Fair was first published as a novel in 1989, and is long since out of print. The Big Finish audio version was recorded in 2009.
- The Ultimate Evil was also published as a novel in 1989. It's nearly impossible to find. Sadly, Big Finish have been unable to persuade Wally K. Daly to let them produce an audio version. Sorry, Brendan.
- Mission to Magnus was published as a novel in 1990. Like the rest of these books, it's now out of print. The Big Finish audio version was recorded in 2009.
We also mention these Big Finish lost story adaptations:
- The Song of Megaptera by Pat Mills
- The Hollows of Time by Christopher H. Bidmead
- Point of Entry by Barbara Clegg and Marc Platt
- The Guardians of Prophecy by Johnny Byrne
- Power Play by Gary Hopkins
- The Macros by Ingrid Pitt and Tony Rudlin
- Paradise 5 by PJ Hammond & Andy Lane
- Leviathan by Brian & Paul Finch
- The First Sontarans by Andrew Smith
Todd's dream Season 23
If you're willing to let Todd into your head, why not try listening to his dream Season 23, the stories he wishes had been produced had the Hiatus never happened?
- The Nightmare Fair
- The Song of Megaptera
- Leviathan
- Slipback (US) (UK) (AU)
- The First Sontarans
- The Macros
- The Hollows of Time (possibly)
Notes and links
Fans of genuinely funny and brilliant radio comedy featuring wacky computers and morose robots will enjoy The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, particularly the first radio series. (Audible US) (Audible UK) (Audible AU)
Slipback's two computer voices are played by Jane Carr, who plays bald Centauri alien Timov Moralli in a number of Babylon 5 episodes, including Soul Mates. She also plays Malcolm Reed's mother on Enterprise. In that role, she actually has hair, which just goes to show how impressive her range is.
One of Slipback's computer voices is hideously reminiscent of the presenter of the 1990s Australian children's programme, Mulligrubs. Take a look here, if you dare.
Fans of the Planet of Women trope will enjoy the reference to the planet Cygnet XIV in the Star Trek episode Tomorrow is Yesterday, in which Captain Kirk is annoyed to find the Enterprise computer flirting with him after its overhaul at the hands of that planet's engineers.
Whether you like it or not
We have only one (or four) stories left to cover in the Colin Baker era. And because we can't bear to say goodbye to him so soon, we're planning a Very Special Episode about some of Colin's best Big Finish audios. To prepare for that episode, you might like to listen to these audio stories:
- Jubilee, by Rob Shearman.
- The One Doctor, by Gareth Roberts and Clayton Hickman.
- Doctor Who and the Pirates, by Jacqueline Rayner.
- The Brink of Death, by Nicholas Briggs, which is the final story in The Last Adventure box set.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 4 minutes and 8 secondsThe walls between realities were fairly porous back in 1986, which is why we find ourselves this week in a terrifying parallel universe where the Hiatus never happened, and the original plans for Season 23 actually came to fruition. Beware.

Here are the four stories that we spend most of our time discussing:
- The novel of Slipback was published in 1987, but it's now out of print. It's still available in its original form as an audiobook. (Audible US) (Audible UK) (Audible AU)
- The Nightmare Fair was first published as a novel in 1989, and is long since out of print. The Big Finish audio version was recorded in 2009.
- The Ultimate Evil was also published as a novel in 1989. It's nearly impossible to find. Sadly, Big Finish have been unable to persuade Wally K. Daly to let them produce an audio version. Sorry, Brendan.
- Mission to Magnus was published as a novel in 1990. Like the rest of these books, it's now out of print. The Big Finish audio version was recorded in 2009.
We also mention these Big Finish lost story adaptations:
- The Song of Megaptera by Pat Mills
- The Hollows of Time by Christopher H. Bidmead
- Point of Entry by Barbara Clegg and Marc Platt
- The Guardians of Prophecy by Johnny Byrne
- Power Play by Gary Hopkins
- The Macros by Ingrid Pitt and Tony Rudlin
- Paradise 5 by PJ Hammond & Andy Lane
- Leviathan by Brian & Paul Finch
- The First Sontarans by Andrew Smith
Todd's dream Season 23
If you're willing to let Todd into your head, why not try listening to his dream Season 23, the stories he wishes had been produced had the Hiatus never happened?
- The Nightmare Fair
- The Song of Megaptera
- Leviathan
- Slipback (US) (UK) (AU)
- The First Sontarans
- The Macros
- The Hollows of Time (possibly)
Notes and links
Fans of genuinely funny and brilliant radio comedy featuring wacky computers and morose robots will enjoy The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, particularly the first radio series. (Audible US) (Audible UK) (Audible AU)
Slipback's two computer voices are played by Jane Carr, who plays bald Centauri alien Timov Moralli in a number of Babylon 5 episodes, including Soul Mates. She also plays Malcolm Reed's mother on Enterprise. In that role, she actually has hair, which just goes to show how impressive her range is.
One of Slipback's computer voices is hideously reminiscent of the presenter of the 1990s Australian children's programme, Mulligrubs. Take a look here, if you dare.
Fans of the Planet of Women trope will enjoy the reference to the planet Cygnet XIV in the Star Trek episode Tomorrow is Yesterday, in which Captain Kirk is annoyed to find the Enterprise computer flirting with him after its overhaul at the hands of that planet's engineers.
Whether you like it or not
We have only one (or four) stories left to cover in the Colin Baker era. And because we can't bear to say goodbye to him so soon, we're planning a Very Special Episode about some of Colin's best Big Finish audios. To prepare for that episode, you might like to listen to these audio stories:
- Jubilee, by Rob Shearman.
- The One Doctor, by Gareth Roberts and Clayton Hickman.
- Doctor Who and the Pirates, by Jacqueline Rayner.
- The Brink of Death, by Nicholas Briggs, which is the final story in The Last Adventure box set.

Episode 106: El Comentario del Mundo
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 24 minutes and 49 secondsIn an eventful podcast recording, interrupted by bomb explosion, affected by earthquakes, and ruined by interference in the kitchen, all four of us talk all over the recently-discovered Troughton classic, The Enemy of the World.
Michael Grade just phoned, and he's
cancelledrested the podcast, so we'll be back in a month's time for The Trial of a Time Lord.I had to vote for someone

You might not want to spend 144 precious minutes of your life listening to us blathering on about this fabulous story, so why not go back many years to listen to Episode 15: Internal Pink Wobbly Bits? In that episode, we discuss the newly-discovered The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear.

Doctor Who in 10 Seconds
And, of course, you should all take the time to revisit Doctor Who in Ten Seconds, in which Brendan summarises all the stories from the first seven seasons of Doctor Who while wearing a distractingly tight T-shirt. New episodes are on their way, so make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel so that you are immediately notified when Brendan uploads the next episode.
Bondfinger
This commentary totally counts as our Bondfinger for this month (shut up!), which means that our commentary on The Living Daylights (1987) will be up in early April. But it will be worth the wait, probably.
In the meantime, we have a range of Rodgecasts online, and other Bonds are also available, of course. You can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 24 minutes and 49 secondsIn an eventful podcast recording, interrupted by bomb explosion, affected by earthquakes, and ruined by interference in the kitchen, all four of us talk all over the recently-discovered Troughton classic, The Enemy of the World.

The Enemy of the World was released in 2013/2014. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)
Notes and links
You might not want to spend 144 precious minutes of your life listening to us blathering on about this fabulous story, so why not go back many years to listen to Episode 15: Internal Pink Wobbly Bits? In that episode, we discuss the newly-discovered The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear.

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. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast.
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 take over the world and use our nefarious genius to produce food for the entire population, like the monsters we are.
Doctor Who in 10 Seconds
And, of course, you should all take the time to revisit Doctor Who in Ten Seconds, in which Brendan summarises all the stories from the first seven seasons of Doctor Who while wearing a distractingly tight T-shirt. New episodes are on their way, so make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel so that you are immediately notified when Brendan uploads the next episode.
Bondfinger
This commentary totally counts as our Bondfinger for this month (shut up!), which means that our commentary on The Living Daylights (1987) will be up in early April. But it will be worth the wait, probably.
In the meantime, we have a range of Rodgecasts online, and other Bonds are also available, of course. You can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

Famous Miserable Bastard
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 55 minutes and 0 secondsIt’s the end of the season, so we decide to head over to Necros for a delicious meal of synthetic protein, which is at least more palatable than the rather pungent protein for sale on Delta Magna. Everyone on this planet seems to be getting on so well, and the direction is lovely, so this can only be Revelation of the Daleks.
And I voted against that, thank you very much
Our Pertwee Commentary poll is still open, so go to the shownotes for Episode 103 and make your voice heard. which Pertwee story do you want us to talk all over in an upcoming commentary episode?
Buy the story!
Revelation of the Daleks was released on DVD in 2005/2006. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)
Notes and links
Nathan identifies two well-chosen influences on this story. The first is last year’s The Caves of Androzani, which we talk about at length in Episode 97: Men Manning and Being Men at Each Other. The second is much better: Evelyn Waugh’s horrifically black satire of both American and English culture: The Loved One. Read it.
This episode, we hear Part II of Brendan’s anecdote about Colin Baker’s appearance on Blakes 7 in the brilliant Chris Boucher episode City at the Edge of the World.
Famously miserable bastard Clive Swift is horribly cruel to all of us in a DWM interview about his role in Doctor Who’s highest-rated episode Voyage of the Damned. Read it, and feel terribly bad about your love of Doctor Who, if you have one.
Picks of the week
Brendan
Brendan sneakily mentions his contribution to Hating to Love: Re-Evaluating the 52 Worst Doctor Who Stories of All Time. So buy that. But for him, the main course is Totally Tasteless: The life of John Nathan-Turner, a new edition of Richard Marson’s outrageous biography of the last producer of Doctor Who’s classic series.
Nathan
Nathan just can’t resist recommending a brutally insightful and totally negative review of the DVD release of the Two Doctors by genius polymath Dr Graham Nelson.
Among many other much more significant achievements, Nelson is responsible for a scathing review of Blakes 7 Series 3. He is also the creator of Inform, a computer language for authoring text adventures, based on a subtle and clever understanding of how natural language works.
Todd
Todd just wants you all to watch Season 22 again. The sentimental old thing.
What are you, a comedian?
Colin may not have been a resounding success on television (quiet, Todd!), but he has gone on to be one of the most successful actors to play the role in the Big Finish audios. To celebrate this achievement, we’re planning to spend an upcoming episode discussing these Colin Baker Big Finish stories.
- Jubilee, by Rob Shearman.
- The One Doctor, by Gareth Roberts and Clayton Hickman.
- Doctor Who and the Pirates, by Jacqueline Rayner.
- The Brink of Death, by Nicholas Briggs. This is the final part of The Last Adventure, a series of four linked hour-long adventures culminating in a spectacular regeneration scene, even better than the television version featuring Sylvester McCoy in an unconvincing wig.
(In spite of last week’s shownotes, we won’t be covering Criss-Cross, but it’s still very much worth listening to, apparently.)

We have been completely unable to locate 007, who is probably off in Gibraltar or Bratislava or somewhere completely fictional like Isthmus or Oz or Narnia or something. And so our commentary on The Living Daylights (1987) has been unavoidably delayed.
