Radio Free Skaro #983 - Spherical Hieroglyphics
Radio Free SkaroControversy stalks the BBC as the question is asked: did they censor Ncuti Gatwa’s comments on The Graham Norton Show about a possible third season of New New Doctor Who? And the answer is…likely not. What is much more probable is the Three Who Rule excoriating the current state of television while referring to a recent Deadline story on that same topic, but enough of these dour matters! There’s a new Gallifreyan translator that can turn your words into circles, an Adventures in Type and Space book on the way featuring the work of Sid Sutton, and part two of our Terry Nation Miniscope, where we delve into his work on “The Chase”, “Mission to the Unknown”, and “The Daleks’ Master Plan”! Assemble the Galactic Council!

Episode 907: The Zygon Invasion
Who NewRemember the Zygons that the Doctor left trying to invade earth during the reign of Elizabeth the First? They’re still around.
The Doctor, UNIT, and Osgood have devised a way for the Zygons to co-exist with humans on Earth. But the entire peace treaty rests on keeping the balance of all parties involved. And that fragile peace seems to be on the brink of falling apart. When Osgood was killed by Missy, her twin disappeared causing anxiety within UNIT and the Zygons living on Earth.
Soon, different factions of Zygons reveal themselves and declare war. They want to live outside the shadows and be themselves. And they’ll do anything to get it. Now, The Doctor races to find out what their plans are.

DWLit Presents: Jason's Improbable Library
Doctor Who LiteratureThis week Doctor Who Literature takes a week off from the Target novelizations to explore the rest of Jason's childhood bookshelves. I started reading the Target Doctor Who titles when I was 11, but I started reading just before turning 5. That's a lot of reading long before I found Terrance Dicks.
So let's take an hour and walk through what Jason loved before Doctor Who. We'll discuss the Dutch-language children's fiction of Dick Bruna; the magic of Little Golden Books; the Big Three comics lines of the 1970s: Marvel, DC, and Gold Key/Whitman; baseball annuals aimed at children; and, of course, the Hardy Boys, the Choose Your Own Adventures, and the pictorial novelizations of Peanuts TV specials.
We hope you'll join for this week as we walk not just through Jason's childhood bookshelves, but also, really, his brain.

Honour the Invisible
Flight Through Entirety: A Doctor Who PodcastThis week, Brendan, Nathan, Steven B and Johnny Spandrell penetrate the heart of the Vatican, only to discover that behind its dusty and arcane lore lies an eldritch horror that threatens the very idea of existence itself. It’s Extremis.
Notes and links
The most important inspiration here is Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code (2003), a massively popular and widely-panned thriller about a dark secret that threatens the credibility of the Catholic Church itself (but probably not the one you’re thinking of). Perhaps this review of the book will give you a good sense of its style.
It turns out that the dark secret in The Da Vinci code was originally revealed in 1982 in a best-selling book called The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail (or in the US, more pithily, Holy Blood, Holy Grail). This book was, terrifyingly but unsurprisingly, co-written by our very own Henry Lincoln, co-writer of The Abominable Snowmen, The Web of Fear and The Dominators.
Steven remembers the first Doctor talking about his religious beliefs in a passage from The Empire of Glass (1995) by Andy Lane. Here, in Chapter 6, the Doctor is talking to Galileo. “In short, sir, I am currently an agnostic, and by the time my life draws to its close, and I have travelled from one side of the universe to the other and seen every sight there is to see, I firmly expect to be an atheist. Does that answer your question?”
In a recent episode of The Bjay BJ Game Show, Brendan and Bjay review a game called The Talos Principle, a video game set in a computer simulation which deals with questions of identity and religion.
Nathan has a website called the Randomiser at therandomiser.net, which can help you pick a random Doctor Who story to watch, but which can also (more importantly, perhaps) reassure you that you’re not living in a computer simulation.
The properly randomised Doctor Who podcast which Nathan appeared on is called Pull to Open, with Pete Pachal and Chris Taylor.
As a kind of public service, Steven alerts us to a 2015 article by Charlie Brooker about a group of German researchers created a version of Super Mario World in which Mario was self-aware and emotionally affected by his experiences in the game.
Steven also draws our attention to a branch of philosophy concerned with the possibility that we might all be living in a computer simulation. This 2020 article in Scientific American sums up the state of play.
Johnny refers to Kit Pedler’s original conception of the Cybermen as a race of Star Monks — an idea that El Sandifer runs with in a productive and interesting way in her essay on The Tenth Planet.
Johnny Spandrell takes aim at this story in an entertaining and insightful blog post on Extremis, written in 2018.
Here’s a link to the Character Options Series 10 action figure set, featuring the Doctor, Bill and a heavily made up Missy, for those of you who enjoy that kind of thing.
And finally, here’s Donna Summer singing about this story forty years early in Once Upon a Time….

Just two weeks ago, on Startling Barbara Bain, we faced what is perhaps the most memorable and terrifying episode of Space: 1999 ever with our usual mix of valour and prosecco. It’s Dragon’s Domain.
And finally there’s our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. This week, we visited a holographic jazz bar in Vegas in 1962 for a surpassingly brilliant episode of Deep Space Nine called His Way.

SHOW NOTES
(00:01:09) The songs which top and tail this podcast are from a “Lady Penelope Investigates” LP produced by Century 21 Records in 1966 and acquired by Doc at a school Bring & Buy sale in the early 1970s. The LP cover can be seen on our Tumblr page here and the songs themselves can be found here.
(00:03:22) Breakaway was a brand of chocolate-covered digestive biscuit from Nestlé, which started production in 1970 in the United Kingdom, manufactured by Rowntree Mackintosh Confectionery. Nestlé acquired the brand in 1988. It was discontinued in February 2024 after 54 years due to falling sales.
(00:28:19) Of the several incarnations of “The Tomorrow People”, the one Mark is referring to here is the British children’s science fiction television series produced by Thames Television for the ITV Network, the series first ran from 1973 to 1979. All incarnations of the show concerned the emergence of the next stage of human evolution (Homo novis) known colloquially as Tomorrow People. Born to human parents, an apparently normal child might at some point between childhood and late adolescence experience a process called ‘breaking out’ and develop special paranormal abilities. These abilities include psionic powers such as telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation. However, their psychological make-up prevents them from intentionally killing others. The theme music and opening credits were fabulous.
(00:43:30) “Captain Zep – Super Space Detective” s a British television children’s series produced by the BBC between 1983 and 1984. Constructed as part drama and part quiz game, “Captain Zep” featured mysteries that would be solved by the child audience in the studio, along with a write-in competition for viewers. The child audience were dressed in futuristic clothes and had gelled hair. The series was also notable for its combination of live action and animation, where the cast would interact with drawn alien characters amidst drawn backgrounds.

Episode 129 - The Underwater Menace (with Nigel Robinson)

Thanks so much to Nigel Robinson for his time in the recording of this episode.

Cowed or Crushed
Flight Through Entirety: A Doctor Who PodcastDid you know that if we had a nickel for every Doctor Who episode in which you have to pay the Company for the right to breathe, we’d have ten American cents? Which still wouldn’t be enough — even with Kate Orman’s help — to pay for today’s supply of Oxygen.
Notes and links
A clear inspiration for this episode, and for the opening scene in particular, is Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity (2013), which was a film about George Clooney and Sandra Bullock tumbling through space while discussing their relationship or something. It was huge at the time but it seems to have vanished without a trace. So it goes.
Simon alludes to a rogue AI that turns the whole world into paperclips in a scenario known as the paperclip apocalypse. This isn’t a million miles away from the grey goo problem we identified three weeks ago in our episode on Smile — Episode 284: Happy to Be There.
The script for this episode is available from the Doctor Who script library on the BBC website. Quite a few scripts have been available online for a while, but a much larger number were made available on the BBC Writers page in February this year, thanks to RTD’s launch of the Whoniverse, we think.
Nathan’s recent podcast appearance was on Dave Rennie’s Doctor Who podcast A Kettle and Some String, in which they did a deep dive on The Waters of Mars.
At the end of the episode, when Nardole joins Bill and the Doctor in a hug, he signals his intention (delightfully), by saying ‘Cuddle’. The Blu-ray subtitles incorrectly render this as ‘Glad though. [Chuckles]’. Neither line is in Mathieson’s script.

#256 - Marter Makes It Seem So Effortless
Doctor Who: The Metebelis 2In this podcast we talk about Ian Marter's first two stories after his character, Harry Sullivan, joins the TARDIS crew: The Ark in Space and The Sontaran Experiment. We discuss the ease at which Marter portrays Sullivan as a decent, square-jawed Englishman. We also lament what could have been if the Doctor Who production team better utilised the character since he was an effective foil and compatriot of Tom Baker's Doctor. At the end of the podcast are two brief convention panel answers from Marter (on Harry being "naff" and "clumsy") in 1983 in Chicago celebrating 20 years of the programme. Opening music is from The Ark in Space soundtrack and closing music is from The Sontaran Experiment soundtrack, both composed by Dudley Simpson. We recorded this episode on 16 September 2024.

Episode 128 - Vengeance on Varos (with David Barsky)
Doctor Who LiteratureThe novelization of Vengeance on Varos was published two years behind schedule, meaning that book number 106, which was skipped in the Target Doctor Who novelization release order in 1986, is belatedly plugged in -- immediately after the previous two novelizations were both assigned number 127. Got that?
This week's Doctor Who Literature guest is David Barsky. David and Jason have lots of TV and international travel to discuss. And, occasionally, Vengeance on Varos, a controversial story and a novelization tending towards the... verbose.
Sound clips in this episode include:
--The 1969 Encyclopedia Britannica short film adaptation of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery";
--A Season 3 "Simpsons" riff also on "The Lottery";
--"Family Guy", like David Barsky, did not care for The Godfather;
--The venerable U.S. game show "The Price is Right", which has been on the air since, like, 1911, has memorable sound bites here and here.
Not heard in the episode, but highly recommended, is both the trailer for and the movie LOCK-UP (1989), starring Sylvester Stallone (not McCoy), the late Donald Sutherland, and the late John Amos (whose death was announced the day this episode was recorded).

The Fellowship of the Ring
The Doctor Who ShowThe Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was released in 2001 and tonight, The Doctor Who Show team examines it from two very different angles. Rob saw it in the cinema, 23 years ago. And Dave saw it last Friday.
Regardless of those angles, what are our thoughts on this film, its writing, its production, and its ensemble cast including Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Cate Blanchett, John Rhys-Davies, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving, Sean Bean, Ian Holm, and Andy Serkis, here in 2024?
If you’ve got an hour to spare, sit back, relax, and join us in an ALTERNATE GALAXIES episode that travels to Middle Earth for the first in a three-part series that will also include The Two Towers and The Return of the King from 2002 and 2003, respectively.

Waffle On PodcastWaffle On about Witness
Here is our latest episode dedicated to 1985 and what a brilliant film to waffle on about. Witness is a brilliant Harrison Ford led film and was a break away from action hero and sci fi characters.

Episode 127 - Time and the Rani (Jim Sangster; Joe Ford)
Doctor Who LiteratureWelcome to the beginning of the end of Doctor Who Literature. It's May 1988, and the paperback release of the first of the 12 Sylvester McCoy-era Doctor Who novelizations by Target Books. The Target run had a finite lifespan, and from here on out, with the last Classic Series Doctor finally joining the Target stable, the end is in sight.
We will have two guests for each of the Sylvester McCoy books. First up this week is Jim Sangster, who is now officially co-host of the show and the producer of our YouTube channel and video content. Jim has a new song for us this week.
We also have an archival interview with Joe Ford from July 2021 extolling the virtues of Time and the Rani, from Jason's first attempt at a podcast, unreleased after all this time until now.
Please purchase Andrew Cartmel's Script Doctor from Ten Acre Films.
"16 Going on 17" comes from The Sound of Music. Doctor Who Literature expressly refutes Rolfe's political affiliation. As does Family Guy.
The history of the Topps 1980 baseball card set is here.
