In this convention-busting episode of Flight Through Entirety, Brendan (Jamie Lee Curtis) really hates this week's Doctor Who story, while Nathan (Lindsay Lohan) quite enjoys it. And Richard (Mark Harmon) splits the difference by being witty and charming as always. Welcome to Cranleigh Hall: it's Black Orchid.

Notes and links

We all love Moray Watson, who plays Sir Robert in this story. He's still with us, after a career spanning 6 decades. Richard remembers him fondly from Catweazle, a children's TV programme about an 11th-century wizard (The Creature from the Pit's Geoffrey Bayldon), who finds himself trapped in the present day. The producers of The Avengers considered Watson as a possible replacement for Patrick Macnee had Macnee been unwilling to return for the show's final season. Watson also played George Frobisher, Rumpole's hapless old friend in George Frobisher in Rumpole of the Bailey.

The second worst lawn party in human history is depicted in the Monty Python sketch Sam Peckinpah's Salad Days.

Terence Dudley produced Terry Nation's Survivors, a post-apocalyptic story set in a world where a global pandemic has wiped out everyone except a small number of lovely middle-class white people.

Once again, here's Bonnie Langford's reaction to seeing Brendan dressed as Bonnie Langford from Time and the Rani.

Fans of things that are insanely entertaining will enjoy Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, a 1953 comedy starring Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe.

Is it time for Steven and Erika to go out and enjoy the Edmonton sunshine on a beautiful Saturday? Well, yes, by now it is, but 25 minutes ago, no! It was time to watch a reconstruction of a Doctor Who episode from 1965.

The much-vaunted, eagerly-awaited “The Myth Makers” is finally here! Will it live up to the hype? Maybe!

He is genetically engineered to be immune to almost all known toxins, can submerge in strong acid unaffected, and is able to withstand a vacuum in his bare skin.
