ProgNeg Bonus Release: "Terminal Take" #15

• It's Prognosis Negative Featuring Caleb and Eric. This episode is a bonus release of Eric's appearance on The Novice Elitists Film Podcast covering the second in their series of covering all the films by Stanley Kubrick, this time looking at Killer's Kiss (1955).

 

• ProgNeg will return with future episodes of The Reboot Era, but until then we will be releasing several of Eric's recent collaboration with The Novice Elitists Film Podcast.
• Follow us as we eventually release our thoughts on all the films by Stanley Kubrick!

 

• This discussion was filmed in front of a live bar-side audience on Jan 28th, 2022.

WARNING:

• This discussion contains miscellaneous SPOILERS pertaining to the film(s) discussed and possibly Doctor Who! If you are 100% spoilerphobic to films not yet seen, do not complain to us. This episode is mostly negative (though often that is a misnomer) and contains EXPLICIT terms, concepts, and as always expect strokes of innuendo throughout.

SHOW NOTES

(00:02:01) “The World of Tim Burton” is a major exhibition of his design aesthetic. While most well-known for his cinematic work, this show displays the full extent of his production as an illustrator, painter, photographer and author, as well as exploring key collaborations with designers. As a multi-disciplinary artist, his creations extend beyond the limits of mediums and formats. Drawn from Tim Burton’s personal archive and representing the artist’s creative output from childhood to the present day, this collection of drawings, paintings, photographs, sketchbooks, moving-image works, sculptural installations, set and costume design focuses on the recurrent visual themes and motifs found in the distinctive characters and worlds found in Burton’s art and films. This is the final stop in a decade-long world tour for this exhibition and will be its only ever showing in the UK.

(00:04:02) “ABBA Voyage” is a virtual concert residency by the Swedish pop group ABBA. The concerts feature virtual avatars (dubbed “ABBAtars”), depicting the group as they appeared in 1979, and use vocals re-recorded by the group in a Swedish studio specifically for this show, accompanied by a 10 piece live instrumental band on stage. The concerts are held in ABBA Arena, a purpose-built venue in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.

(00:20:38) “Big Boys” is a British television sitcom created and written by Jack Rooke, first broadcast on Channel 4. It stars Dylan Llewellyn and Jon Pointing as first-year university students who live together, set from 2013, told from the point of view of Llewellyn’s character Jack—a semi-fictionalised version of Rooke, who narrates the series—as he recovers from his father’s death and explores his sexuality for the first time.

(01:03:39) “Mind Your Language” is a British sitcom that premiered on ITV in 1977. It was produced by London Weekend Television and directed by Stuart Allen. Three series were made by London Weekend Television between 1977 and 1979, and it was briefly revived in 1985 (or 1986 in most ITV regions) with six of the original cast members. The series shows people of different countries with different social background, religions, and languages existing in the same classroom, learning English as a foreign language.

(01:11:20) “Porridge” is a British sitcom, starring Ronnie Barker and Richard Beckinsale, written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, and broadcast on BBC1 from 1974 to 1977. The programme ran for three series and two Christmas specials. A feature film of the same name based on the series was released in 1979. The sitcom focuses on two prison inmates, Norman Fletcher (played by Barker) and Lennie Godber (played by Beckinsale), who are serving time at the fictional HMP Slade in Cumberland. The show’s title is a 1950s British slang term for a prison sentence, derived from the traditional breakfast that used to be served in British prisons.

(01:12:34) Albert Pierrepoint (30 March 1905 – 10 July 1992) was an English hangman who executed between 435 and 600 people in a 25-year career that ended in 1956. His father Henry and uncle Thomas were official hangmen before him.

Friends, it's time once again to get into some classic Doctor Who! And we have a special treat this time, our good friend Lena Barkin (self-confessed 2nd Doctor and Jamie aficionado)! Together we review the only 8-part story in the show's history: The Invasion! Complete with a mega-maniacal tech oligarch (yeah, feels familiar, right?!), the Cyberman, and the introduction of UNIT, this story has so much good stuff packed inside that you'll be impressed we only kept it to an 80 minute discussion!

It’s a week of podcast adjacent activity as the fine folk at the Merseyside Doctor Who Group shouted out this very podcast on the occasion of our breaching the transom of 1000 episodes, David Tennant hosts one Russell T Davies on his podcast and most importantly, fine gentlemen Neil Perryman and John Williams announce an oncoming storm known as World of Telly! Plus, we have news and base speculation about both the new Character Options 3rd Doctor and sonic and possible future iterations, crochet fan works, behind the scenes camera excitement from Terror of the Suburbs, and a chinwag with Steven Swaby from Doctor Who: Worlds of Wonder, the new exhibit at San Diego Comic-Con Museum!

Has it really taken us this long to review the first two releases from Big Finish? Oh yes it has!

Would Big Finish have acquired the Doctor Who license from the BBC without these recordings? Oh no they wouldn't!

Oh No It Isn't by Paul Cornell and adapted by Jacqueline Raynor, and Beyond the Sun, written and adapted by Matt Jones, were released way back in 1998... and the rest is history!

Gary Russell joins us to talk about those very early days and specifically, the production of these original Big Finish classics.

Well dear listener, it had to happen. After appearing with us separately on various podcasts, a long-time and genuine friend of the podcast - Too Hot for TV's Dylan Rees - joins BOTH of us to discuss the BBC television adaptation of Douglas Adams' THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY on tonight's episode of ALTERNATE GALAXIES.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy aired between 5 January and 9 February 1981 on BBC2 in the United Kingdom. The adaptation follows the original radio series in 1978 and 1980, the first novel and double LP, in 1979, and the stage shows, in 1979 and 1980, making it the fifth iteration of the guide.

The series stars Simon Jones as Arthur Dent, David Dixon as Ford Prefect, Mark Wing-Davey as Zaphod Beeblebrox, Sandra Dickinson as Trillian and Stephen Moore as the voice of Marvin. The voice of the guide is by Peter Jones. 

Peter Jones, Simon Jones, Moore and Wing-Davey reprised their roles from the original radio series in 1978/80, as did supporting actors Richard Vernon and David Tate. In addition, the series features a number of notable cameo roles, including Adams himself on several occasions.

Welcome the Third Doctor - Spearhead From Space

Phil & Scott continue their series of looking at how good how each Doctor's inaugral stories were at introducing them to the waiting world, with Spearhead From Space, starring Jon Pertwee. Ushering in a new era of colour, action and flamboyant clothes, did this story from Robert Holmes succeed in introducing a new and different kind of Doctor. Along the way, Phil tells a horror story of childhood underpants.

    This title was released in January 2025. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 31 March 2025, and on general sale after this date. Four new adventures featuring classic Doctors encountering monsters from the new series of Doctor Who! 5.1 The Krillitane Feint by John Dorney The TARDIS brings the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe to a planet where a secure research base is conducting disturbing experiments. A group of captive Krillitane are test subjects for a military power, keen to understand the species' unique abilities. But who are the real monsters here? 5.2 The Dying Breed by Tim Foley When the Doctor, Leela and K9 land on the Lupari homeworld tracking a temporal anomaly, they find a kingdom in disarray. The Great Lord Garzan's son has been attacked, and strange beasts roam the frozen landscape. Whilst Leela spars with the new heir, the Doctor and K9 must work out how all these strange events are connected. Little do they know that their discoveries will shake the Lupari to their core... 5.3 The Krillitane Relic by John Dorney The TARDIS brings the Doctor and Ray to a space station cryogenic facility, where interplanetary VIPs are stored pending medical cures. There is a familiar face here too - someone the Doctor remembers, but who does not remember him... 5.4 Five Hundred Ways to Leave Your Lover by Tim Foley Chris is on a date. But it isn't working out. Perhaps he'll end it over dinner. Or on a cruise. Or in a lunar spa. But who are these figures in red? And why are they so invested in his relationship? All of reality might be at stake, and the Monks will pursue Chris wherever he goes - but as long as he manages to break up with his boyfriend, the Doctor, everything might be saved... **Please note: the collector’s edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,250 copies and will not be repressed**

Folks, we are back into the swing of things post-Gallifrey One and we have our annual post-Gally "episode suggested by our friend Mike"! This time around, Mike has suggested RTD's very first series: Dark Season! Originally made for kids back in 1991, it's clear that RTD really wanted to write for Doctor Who because RTD's style and The Doctor's fingerprints are all over this six-part series! So grab a paddle and wear something really pastel and let's dive in!

Steven and Erika finish off the Barry Letts era and vibe with the Doctor and Harry.
