Steven and Erika finish “The Gunfighters” from 1966…4 days ago. This is the second podcast they’ve recorded about it. But it’s the only one that still exists.

Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky

Andy, Nic and Derek face some sad news and then try to look on the positive side, even if that is a bit spoilery.

And thanks for all the fish!

There are those stories that are widely reviled like "The Twin Dilemma" and "Delta and the Bannermen". Then there are those that exist on the underbelly, those whose creators will deny the existence of to this day, those that belong in the dustbin with "The Macra Terror".

"The Time Monster" is one such story. Rumor has it that any "Doctor Who" story with the word "time" is doomed to failure; "The Time Warrior" is one exception, while "The Time Monster" has a special place in the producers' file cabinet filed under W for "What Were We Thinking?" Clearly, these are spoilers for what we think of the story, but sometimes the fun is just in poking fun, isn't it?

For the first time since it originally aired in 1966, we were able to watch the Power of the Daleks in its entirety. Ross condensed all 6 episodes into a 16 minute synopsis, so the rest is discussion about the first ever regeneration, the Second Doctor, Patrick Troughton, The Daleks as great villains, the story behind the reconstructed episodes and more. Also, check out our Supplemental episodes that we are doing in between Story Episodes. They are fun and highly nerdy.

It's time for a new game! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we try a nifty new game that we shamelessy stole from another podcast. It's a rollicking good time, and Erika only flounders a little bit as she dons the mantle of "Game Show Host".

Did you enjoy us trying to think like an idiot? (And do you have feels you just must get out about the casting of the next Doctor?) Let us know in the comments!

Well, this is the end of The Twin Dilemma, whether you like it or not. Steve is egging on Sean, and Sean feels egged on. It is only fitting that things have deteriorated as they have in the podcast, while we watch the ending of Colin Baker's debut story. So while we provide gardening tips, what is the best coffee, and whether it was intentional that Edgeworth has the hair of the 1st Doctor. Sean is lying down. That is likely best. Just remember, next week, better story.

Regular listeners to the Doctor Who Show will know Doc Whom as a guest co-host (see #11, November 27, 2016) and may also hear him fortnightly on the Diddly Dum podcast. He also took part in one of the longest ever chats on our previous podcast, Who Wars (see #25, March 8, 2015).

Doc talks to Rob about three Doctor Who promotional offers from the 1970s relating to the Weetabix and Typhoo brands. How did these go down in the school yard? What was Doc's favourite? And what is the statute of limitations when it comes to offers of free Daleks?

Capaldexit! Yes, the Three Who Rule were sideswiped (as was everyone else) by Peter Capaldi's surprise announcement that he was leaving the role of The Doctor, and after admonishing the UK press for baseless speculation, the RFS crew engaged in frankly hypocritical predictions of their own. That plus stats, Series Ten news and a 70 minute(!) Miniscope about writer/director Terence Dudley round out this episode! Enjoy!

And we close out the first season of Sylvester McCoy. It’s the real McCoy. Two seasons left, and spoiler, The Seventh Doctor has a snap character change next week. It’s Dragonfire, written by Ian Briggs, aired in November and December of 1987.

Trapped in a futuristic dystopia run by crazed B-grade reality television stars, Brendan, Nathan and Todd attempt to take their mind off things by watching the remarkably vengeance-free Vengeance of Varos.

Buy the story!

Vengeance of Varos was originally released very early on: in 2001 in the UK, in 2002 in Australia, and in 2003 in the US. Mercifully, a special edition of the story was released in 2012. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

Todd draws a deft comparison between this story and Gogglebox, a television programme on Channel 4 in which we get to watch various households watching various other television programmes. There’s an Australian version as well.

In Australia, this season of 45-minute episodes was broadcast in a 25-minute timeslot, which led to some horrifically bad cliffhangers. The worst of these will be horribly evident next week.

Nigel Kneale, creator of Quatermass and conservative grandpa angry about the way the nurses keep moving his pills, was the creator of The Year of the Sex Olympics, which depicts a future where the elites pacify the population with a steady diet of violence, pornography and reality television.

Owen Teale plays Maldak in this story, a guard with a truly regrettable 80s hairstyle. He will go on to appear in the Torchwood episode Countrycide, and in a popular television programme called Game of Thrones, which Nathan has never even heard of.

Despite his performance in this story, Jason Connery will go on to have a distinguished acting career. He stars in Robin of Sherwood Season 3 as fake replacement Robin Hood after the original Robin leaves the show/is shot to death by arrows. He also plays Ian Fleming in Spymaker: The Secret Life of Ian Fleming (1990).
