Just Full of Nazis
Flight Through Entirety: A Doctor Who PodcastHarry and Benton are back, but no one cares, as robot replicas of Brendan, Nathan and Richard trudge through Terry Nation’s penultimate Doctor Who story, The Android Invasion.
Buy the story!
The Android Invasion was released on DVD in 2012. In the UK and Australia, it was released as part of the UNIT Files box set, along with Invasion of the Dinosaurs (Amazon UK). It was released on its own in the US (Amazon US).
Notes and links
We’re going to put you through a whole lot of terrible vintage televsion in this episode’s shownotes, so are you sitting comfortably? Then let’s begin.
Here’s Patrick Macnee’s John Steed standing in front of the Cock Inn from The New Avengers title sequence. Ooh-er!
Nathan’s phrase “robot replica” was shamelessly lifted from an episode of Steven Moffat’s Press Gang called UnXpected, in which the eponymous gang encounter the fictional hero of a terrible, terrible 70s science fiction TV series. Which is probably just a coincidence.
Fans of actual robot replicas will enjoy The Stepford Wives (1976) and Westworld (1973).
Such fans will also enjoy The Avengers episode The Hour that Never Was, not because of robot replicas, because there aren’t any, but because it’s just superb.
And such fans will be completely overwhelmed by these Six Million Dollar Man episodes: Steve Austin fights a robot replica of someone else in Day of the Robot, and there’s a robot woman with a Sarah-from-the-Part-2-cliffhanger face in the Bionic Woman crossover Kill Oscar.
Milton Johns talks about Guy Crayford’s eyepatch in this BBC interview.
Fans of robot replicas of English villages will enjoy the Danger Man episode Colony Three.
No one at all will enjoy Terry Nation’s first Avengers episode Invasion of the Earthmen, which was described by the Avengers Forever website as “one of the worst classics Avengers episodes of all time”.
Follow us!
Brendan is on Twitter as @brandybongos, Nathan is @nathanbottomley, Todd is @toddbeilby, and you can now welcome Richard to Twitter as @RichardLStone. You can follow the podcast on Twitter as @FTEpodcast.
We’re also on Facebook, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. And please consider rating or reviewing us on iTunes, or we’ll, I don’t know, force you to watch The Android Invasion again?
Meanwhile, at Universal Exports…
Fans of Flight Through Entirety will enjoy our new project Bondfinger, which launched earlier this month with a commentary track on Dr. No (1962). You can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

Episode 100: Live! From DFW Whofest! It's "The Day of the Doctor"!
The TARDIS TavernNovember 23, 2013. A day that Who fans will likely remember for the rest of their lives. We went to see The Day of the Doctor together, and then did a "live" episode at DFW Whofest, the Dallas convention that totally blew our minds and expectations. Plus, we were kind of sober when we recorded this one. So that's a first.
Plus...a CONTEST! Listen until the end and you can learn how to be two lucky listeners who can win a copy of The Day of the Doctor on DVD or Blu-Ray.
Honestly, a good time was had by all. Oh, and we're pretty much sober.
Please check us out on Facebook, email us at tardistavern@gmail.com, or follow Sean on Twitter via @tardistavern. You can also follow Steve via @tardistaverntit. Because he's sitting right here watching me type this.

Reality Bomb Episode 061
Reality Bomb - a Doctor Who podcastOn the sixty-first edition of Reality Bomb, Joy Piedmont talks to Den of Geek's staff editor Kayti Burt and The Guardian's senior social correspondent Martin Belam about the latest news of Doctor Who's move to Sundays and the recent announcement of new writers and directors and what all this might mean for the series. Graeme Burk explores the question of whether Doctor Who fandom is toxic or could become toxic with Angelique Roche, Sage Young and Felicity Kuzinitz. And emeritus producer Alex Kennard returns to Reality Bomb in order that he might bring the now-forgotten revolutionary 2002 webcast Death Comes To Time. Plus, some anthropologists attempt to flush out some middle aged Doctor Who fans in the wild and more!
Reality Bomb is going to be doing a live show in Toronto on Saturday October 20th at 3pm at the Imperial Pub at 54 Dundas Street west. Details are on our website or our Facebook event page for more details!

TDP 500: Paul Cornell Interview
Tin Dog Podcast@Paul_Cornell #tindogpodcast #doctorwho #drwho #podcast Paul Cornell is a writer of science fiction and fantasy in prose, comics and TV, one of only two people to be Hugo Award-nominated for all three media. He's written Doctor Who for the BBC,Action Comics for DC, and Wolverine for Marvel. He's won the BSFA Award for his short fiction, an Eagle Award for his comics, and shares in a Writer's Guild Award for his television. His latest urban fantasy novel is The Severed Streets from Tor. He lives in Gloucestershire with his wife and son. The Story So Far... ... and here's a longer version with all the details: Paul Cornell started out writing Doctor Who fan fiction, went on to write Doctor Who novels, audio plays and comics, and, having won a BBC contest to get a play on TV, and worked his way up through shows like Casualty and Holby City, became the fan who got to write for the show itself. He went on to work on other TV series like Robin Hood and Primeval, to write two seasons of his own CITV show, Wavelength, and to break into comics, writing for Marvel, DC and 2000AD on such titles as Captain Britain and MI-13, Young Avengers, Wolverine, Knight and Squire, Batman and Robin,Action Comics, Demon Knights, XTNCT and Pan-African Judges. He created Saucer Country for Vertigo, and has new creator-owned projects in the pipeline. In the meantime, he'd also achieved his ambition to become a novelist, first having two SF novels,Something More and British Summertime, published by Gollancz, then starting the Shadow Policeseries with London Falling and The Severed Streets at Tor. His short fiction, often featuring the character of Jonathan Hamilton, an out-of-uniform soldier in a parallel world where the 'great game' of European espionage continues into space, has been published in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, Interzone, The Daily Telegraph, The Timesand at Tor.com. He's also written twice for George R.R. Martin's Wild Cards short story anthologies. He's the creator of Bernice Summerfield, a Doctor Who companion from the novels who for twenty years now has had her own spinoff line of books and audio plays. He lives in Gloucestershire with his wife, a priest in the Church of England, and their toddler son, Thomas. His interests include cricket, matters Fortean and Kate Bush.

Episode 40: Just Full of Nazis
Flight Through Entirety: A Doctor Who PodcastHarry and Benton are back, but no one cares, as robot replicas of Brendan, Nathan and Richard trudge through Terry Nation's penultimate Doctor Who story, The Android Invasion.
Buy the story!
The Android Invasion was released on DVD in 2012. In the UK and Australia, it was released as part of the UNIT Files box set, along with Invasion of the Dinosaurs (Amazon UK). It was released on its own in the US (Amazon US).
Notes and links
We're going to put you through a whole lot of terrible vintage televsion in this episode's shownotes, so are you sitting comfortably? Then let's begin.
Here's Patrick Macnee's John Steed standing in front of the Cock Inn from The New Avengers title sequence. Ooh-er!
Nathan's phrase "robot replica" was shamelessly lifted from an episode of Steven Moffat's Press Gang called UnXpected, in which the eponymous gang encounter the fictional hero of a terrible, terrible 70s science fiction TV series. Which is probably just a coincidence.
Fans of actual robot replicas will enjoy The Stepford Wives (1976) and Westworld (1973).
Such fans will also enjoy The Avengers episode The Hour that Never Was, not because of robot replicas, because there aren't any, but because it's just superb.
And such fans will be completely overwhelmed by these Six Million Dollar Man episodes: Steve Austin fights a robot replica of someone else in Day of the Robot, and there's a robot woman with a Sarah-from-the-Part-2-cliffhanger face in the Bionic Woman crossover Kill Oscar.
Milton Johns talks about Guy Crayford's eyepatch in this BBC interview.
Fans of robot replicas of English villages will enjoy the Danger Man episode Colony Three.
No one at all will enjoy Terry Nation's first Avengers episode Invasion of the Earthmen, which was described by the Avengers Forever website as "one of the worst classics Avengers episodes of all time".
Follow us!
Brendan is on Twitter as @critiqaltheory, Nathan is @nathanbottomley, Todd is @toddbeilby, and you can now welcome Richard to Twitter as @RichardLStone. You can follow the podcast on Twitter as @FTEpodcast.
We're also on Facebook, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. And please consider rating or reviewing us on iTunes, or we'll, I don't know, force you to watch The Android Invasion again?
Meanwhile, at Universal Exports...
Fans of Flight Through Entirety will enjoy our new project Bondfinger, which launched earlier this month with a commentary track on Dr. No (1962). You can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

Episode 217: Anything is Better than Traveling with Adric
Trust Your DoctorE-space kind of sucked tho so I’ll give him a pass for trying to escape.
I looked up how to paint once. But it was really difficult and kind of expensive and so I decided it would be better to look up how to digitally paint since I already had photoshop. But then I found out that it’s easier with one of those art tablets so I gave up on that too and started a podcast. It’s Vincent and the Doctor, written by Richard Curtis and aired on June 5, 2010.
Show-notes:
9:48 Vincent and Theo is a 1990 movie. Wonder who ok-ed that poster.
15:10 Apparently it is pronounced “Nye.”
18:43 The Musee d’Orsay is indeed in Paris.
21:55 The “Van Gogh only sold 1 painting in his lifetime” thing has been called into question. Some people say he sold more. Some say he only sold the one – The Red Vineyard. There are plenty of theories out there, and we’ll probably never know how many he really sold for sure.
32:42 Fun fact we had the bipolar to manic depressive in reverse, it used to be called manic depressive and now it’s called bipolar. Basically, “manic depressive” has bigger negative connotations than “bipolar,” so the DSM officially changed the name in the 80s. Also, DSM stands for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
48:22 Can’t believe I actually found the blog post again.

Men in Massive Suits
Flight Through Entirety: A Doctor Who PodcastThis week, Nathan and James are joined by friend-of-the-podcast Max Jelbart to discuss perennial fan favourite and stone-cold classic Aliens of London. Spoiler alert: we all like it.
Notes and links
Doctor Who’s last soap-genre mashup was not an unqualified success — it was the thirtieth anniversary special that none of us had been dreaming of, as the Doctor and his friends collide with the cast of EastEnders in 1993’s Dimensions in Time.
Not for the last time, one of us mentions The Writer’s Tale, Russell T Davies’s account of his last few years as Doctor Who showrunner. It’s very candid and informative — an absolute must-read.
A massive supernatural event is also covered by the world’s media in RTD’s brilliant miniseries The Second Coming (2003), starring Christopher Eccleston and Lesley Sharp (Midnight).
RTD returned to commenting on the lives of gay men in Cucumber (2015) — this time looking at the differences between gay men in their forties and younger queer people in their twenties. It’s brilliant, but utterly harrowing.
Before the Weeping Angels, before the Silence, before the Monks, Steven Moffat brought us the Tersurons, unseen aliens who communicated by “precisely modulated gastric emissions”, and who were the butt of a number of jokes in Moffat’s first ever Doctor Who story, The Curse of Fatal Death.
After the untimely death of Lis Sladen, RTD and Phil Ford created Wizards vs Aliens, to take the place of The Sarah Jane Adventures in the BBC children’s television schedules. Among the cast were Annette Badland, Gwendoline Christie and TV’s Brian Blessed. It’s usually good, and sometimes actually great.
