Latest Podcast Episodes

This week, Peter’s having a quiet drink, Brendan’s spending a suspicious amount of time in the toilet, Max has gone for a walk in the woods with Sacha Dhawan, and Nathan is looking at dirty postcards and reminiscing about the days when he still used to get out of this chair. Plus, Agatha Christie’s here for cocktails. So be sure to watch out for The Unicorn and the Wasp.

Notes and links

Nathan has dim memories of three Agatha Christie miniseries, adapted for TV by Sarah Phelps, who is writing a second series of RTD’s A Very English Scandal in 2021. These adaptations were And Then There Were None (2015), Witness for the Prosecution (2016) and Ordeal by Innocence (2018).

Meanwhile, at TARDIS Eruditorum, El Sandifer talks about how The Robots of Death draws on the genre features of Agatha Christie novels.

The Doctor reminisces about rescuing Charlemagne from an insane computer, a scenario taken directly from a Doctor Who story on the BBC website: The Lonely Computer, by Peter’s old friend Rupert Laight.

This Guardian article from 1999 theorises that Agatha Christie disappeared to get back at her cheating husband, and that her amnesia was feigned to conceal this fact. Nathan learned this story, like everything else he knows, from a tweet. (You can see his reply here).

This episode of MarkWHO42 is all about Jodie from two different perspectives, the guys and the gals. On our biggest round table discussion yet, we separate the gents from the ladies to hear two different perspectives about the first female Doctor WHO, Jodie Whittaker. Was this time right time? Was this the right idea? Why a female Doctor? Is Doctor WHO destined for failure, or looking at a new resurgence? As we move forward with our 13th Doctor, our panelists of experts give their take on what has happened, the controversy spawning throughout the WHOniverse and what they believe will be the future of Doctor WHO. So, join the team of MarkWHO42 (with Christian Basel hosting the men and Iggy Mathews hosting the women) with their very special guests on this special and quite possibly controversial episode. And whatever else happens, Jodie Whittaker is the Doctor, "whether you like it or not."

@tindogpodcast reviews   This title was released in March 2020. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until April 30th 2020, and on general sale after this date. London, 1945. Winston Churchill campaigns for re-election. His new strategic adviser assures him that Britain has a bright future under his continued leadership. It’s a vote he can’t possibly lose. But the Doctor knows that he must. The Monk is meddling, altering history for his own selfish ends. With spies and aliens in the mix, Winston realises victory may not be so simple. But at least he can trust his old friend... can’t he?

Our year of loves and lasts continues with a rather big "last". Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we discuss 1989's "Survival", which was a "last" in many ways, although it wasn't originally intended as such.

How do you feel about 7's last full story? What did you think of the Cheetah People's costumes? Is that infamous line really the nadir of Sylvester McCoy's performances on Doctor Who? Let us know in the comments!

^E

Also covered:

• Lynne had moving prep help from Michi Trota, Jesse Lex, and Dolores and Matt Peters (the latter two gave them Doctor Who LEGO Dimensions goodies), and Matt hosts two podcasts:
  • Since Last We Spoke!
  • Digital Dumpster Diving!
• Erika
  • discovers "What if John Carpenter did a Doctor Who Theme?"!
  • cannot wait for LI Who and hopes to see you there!
• Liz is filled with delight and squee and Great Emotion because the next Doctor is a woman!
• Deb blatantly steals borrows a game from Kim Rogers and Sage Young at Head Over Feels and wants you to submit your ideas for "This or That" for future Verity fun!

Graeme Burk, co-author with Robert Smith? of WHO IS THE DOCTOR 2, stops by to talk about slow-cooker episode criticism in a time of lightning-fast hot takes (not that I'm familiar with that at all) and staying connected with Doctor Who in a stay-at-home world.

This Guardian article from 1999 theorises that Agatha Christie disappeared to get back at her cheating husband, and that her amnesia was feigned to conceal this fact. Nathan learned this story, like everything else he knows, from a tweet. (You can see his reply here).

It's Downton Abbey meets Notting Hill meets Predator... Well not quite, but it's still one heck of a mashup!  We watched Human Nature and The Family of Blood this week.

This week, Peter’s having a quiet drink, Brendan’s spending a suspicious amount of time in the toilet, Max has gone for a walk in the woods with Sacha Dhawan, and Nathan is looking at dirty postcards and reminiscing about the days when he still used to get out of this chair. Plus, Agatha Christie’s here for cocktails. So be sure to watch out for The Unicorn and the Wasp.

Notes and links

Nathan has dim memories of three Agatha Christie miniseries, adapted for TV by Sarah Phelps, who is writing a second series of RTD’s A Very English Scandal in 2021. These adaptations were And Then There Were None (2015), Witness for the Prosecution (2016) and Ordeal by Innocence (2018).

Our year of loves and lasts continues with a rather big "last". Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we discuss 1989's "Survival", which was a "last" in many ways, although it wasn't originally intended as such.

How do you feel about 7's last full story? What did you think of the Cheetah People's costumes? Is that infamous line really the nadir of Sylvester McCoy's performances on Doctor Who? Let us know in the comments!

^E

Also covered:

• Lynne had moving prep help from Michi Trota, Jesse Lex, and Dolores and Matt Peters (the latter two gave them Doctor Who LEGO Dimensions goodies), and Matt hosts two podcasts:
  • Since Last We Spoke!
  • Digital Dumpster Diving!
• Erika
  • discovers "What if John Carpenter did a Doctor Who Theme?"!
  • cannot wait for LI Who and hopes to see you there!
• Liz is filled with delight and squee and Great Emotion because the next Doctor is a woman!
• Deb blatantly steals borrows a game from Kim Rogers and Sage Young at Head Over Feels and wants you to submit your ideas for "This or That" for future Verity fun!

Episode 106: The Girl From The Future

This week, we’re manic, reactive and endogenous, as we contemplate fondant, marshmallow, and the practical problem with leaving someone alive. Make sure you’ve paid your poll tax — it’s time for an outing with The Happiness Patrol.

On with the Motley

In our ongoing postal plebiscite, you’ll be voting on which Colin Baker story will be the subject of our next commentary podcast. Take your mind off the horrors of democracy, head over to the shownotes for Episode 121, and cast your vote.

Buy the story!

The Happiness Patrol was released on DVD in 2012. In the US, it was released on its own (Amazon US), while in the UK and Australia, it was inexplicably released as part of the Ace Adventures box set, along with Dragonfire (Amazon UK).

Notes and links

Richard continues to feud with the hosts of the New To Who podcast. They’re all very attractive.

Dog lovers will find today’s upsetting media landscape impossible to navigate without referring to doesthedogdie.com.

The sound, look and feel of this story owes a lot to noirish thriller The Third Man (1949).

Section 28 of the Local Government Act (1988) was a dogshit piece of legislation enacted by the viciously homophobic Thatcher Government that banned the “promotion” of homosexuality. It remained in force in the UK until 2003.

And here’s the Monty Python sketch about Happy Valley, in which anyone unhappy was immediately put to death. Hilariously.

And here’s Nathan’s personal take on the idea of Frocks and Guns in Doctor Who.

Horrifically enough, Richard is right about the term Joy Division being used to refer to the practice of sexual slavery in Nazi labour camps.

Lady Land is the official TV Tropes name for the Planet of Women trope.

Neither Richard nor Nathan have ever even heard of T-Bag, a British TV programme about a weird witch who travelled around time and space collecting weird objects. For the last few years of the show, T-Bag was played by Georgina Hale, our very own Priscilla P. (It’s horrifically bad. Take a look at one of the episodes from Season 3 here.)

Brendan is on Twitter as @brandybongos, Nathan is @nathanbottomley, Todd is @toddbeilby and Richard is @RichardLStone. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam, and the logo was designed by Anthony Wells. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast. And more surprising and completely reliable information about the show can be found at @FTEwhofacts.

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 run off with your husband in your personal escape shuttle. We’re done it before.

Bondfinger

Our commentary on The World is Not Enough (1999) will be released this weekend, probably, but while you’re waiting you can enjoy our previous commentaries on the Pierce Brosnan films, and our commentaries on the Timothy Dalton Era.

We also have plenty of Rodgecasts online, and there are other Bonds available, as well. Even the fake ones that weren’t included in the official box set.

You can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

The plot of this tale becomes apparent, but we can’t help but compare the space elements of this episode to high sci-fi elements of a Space Odyssey.
