@bigfinish @Lou_Jameson #doctorwho #tindogpodcast Somewhere in a suburb of North London, there's a crisis. More than a crisis, a positive disaster: Belinda and Ralph are expecting four for supper, and there's no Marie Rose sauce for the Prawns Marie Rose. All in all, the evening couldn't possibly get any worse... Until the doorbell rings, bringing the Doctor and Leela to the dinner party. They've got a crisis, too - temporal ruckage has sent the TARDIS to another time zone entirely. Meaning they might have to endure a whole evening in Belinda's company. But the Doctor and Leela aren't the only uninvited guests tonight. There's a strange fog falling, out in the road. And in that fog: savage blue-skinned monsters, with dinner party plans of their own. Because it's not Prawns Marie Rose on their menu - it's people!

The news reached dire levels of non-existence this week, but the Three Who Rule soldiered on in exactly the sort of way Twelve would have roundly disapproved of. Despite there being little movement other than comic book rumblings (in the fall, no less!) there was a light at the end of the tunnel in the form of the commentary for "Death In Heaven", with none other than the inestimable J.R. Southall of the Blue Box Podcast and Starburst Magazine lending us his sharp eye, keen brain and devastating wit.

And then it’s making life not exist anymore!

This week Kiyan and Dylan dive into Malcolm Hulke’s final serial, Invasion of the Dinosaurs. To their pleasant surprise, this weeks serial featured quite a fair bit of character development for the UNIT crew, with Benton, Yates, and The Brig all getting some time in the spotlight. Invasion of the Dinosaurs was aired in January and February of 1974.

By the way, the reference no one would get was to Shrek the Musical. You’re welcome.

We have a new Doctor, and a new release schedule. In the first weekly episode of Flight Through Entirety, Brendan, Nathan, Richard and Todd, the sort of girls who give motorcars pet names, discuss Tom Baker's first ever Doctor Who story, Robot. Please do not resist. We do not wish to cause you unnecessary pain.

Buy the story!

Robot was released on DVD in 2007. (Amazon US)
(Amazon UK)

Terrance Dicks's novelisation, Doctor Who and the Giant Robot, is available as an audiobook, read by Tom Baker. (Audible US) (Audible UK)

Links and notes

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818) has an emotional artificial person with a complex relationship with his creator. Coincidence?

Pearl White played the eponymous heroine in the 1914 film serial The Perils of Pauline. Apparently she never got tied to the railway tracks though.

Fans of terribly judgemental robots will enjoy Gort from George Pal's The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951).

Anyone appalled by Richard's gingerphobia will perhaps be mollified by this video depicting Catherine Tate's admission to the Ginger Hair Safe House.

If, like me, you're disappointed that Miss Bassey won't be singing the theme to the next Bond film, SPECTRE, you can console yourself by remembering the valiant It's Got To Be Bassey campaign. Bless you, boys.

Some moments in this story are reminiscent of Terrance Dicks and Malcolm Hulke's second-season Avengers episode The Mauritius Penny, which exists on YouTube in its, er, entirety.

Nothing is quite what it seems like when The Master is involved. Just because he's in prison doesn't mean he's not up to his old tricks as Jo and the Third Doctor soon find out. Of course he's not the only threat this time, but there's also the arrival of a different breed of Silurians, the Sea Devils.

Jason had the opportunity to go to Phoenix Comicon a few weeks ago and brought back some audio from panels he attended.  This panel talks about the darkest moments in Doctor Who.  Jason and Paul introduce the panel with a little of their own commentary on the subject, but stay tuned in after the panel for information on our upcoming review episodes.

In which Brandon TOTALLY DIDN'T FALL ASLEEP WATCHING ONE OF THE EPISODES YOU GUYS.

This week, Danica and Brandon are drinking Captain Jacks in honour of Captain Jack, and watching some Martha Jones episodes - 42 and Utopia. What happens next, will surprise you.

Actually, it won't. They get drunk and talk about the episode while Brandon fights off sleep like a champ. We're terrible at clickbait.

This week, Danica and Brandon are drinking Captain Jacks in honour of Captain Jack, and watching some Martha Jones episodes - 42 and Utopia. What happens next, will surprise you.

Actually, it won't. They get drunk and talk about the episode while Brandon fights off sleep like a champ. We're terrible at clickbait.

Howdy-do Who fans, it’s episode 46! Before we get onto our review of McCoy’s first outing as The Doctor let’s land the Tardis and crack on with the news.

The News

We could have an “off the record” confirmed start time for series 9 – September. We suspected it may be August but producer Nikki Wilson let it slip on Twitter “We’ll be back in September”. So slightly later than we’d like as we’re desperate to get stuck into the new series but hey, it’s not much later.

Steven Moffat has bagged himself an OBE. For his services to drama the Moff has picked up one of the Queen’s honours and is well deserved in our opinion.

Colin Baker is to star in a new independent sci-fi short called Last Man on Earth. The official synopsis: “Last Man on Earth is a short pre-apocalypse sci-fi thriller about a virologist who is recruited to a bio research conglomerate to help work on a cure for cancer. It’s a film about decisions and their consequences. A story about the future told in the present day.” The project has already bagged around PS1600 in funding but it needs more to get to completion. If you want to see The 6th Doctor get back into sci-fi then jump over to the Indiegogo page and donate.

Lastly, our thoughts are with The War Doctor Sir John Hurt after he recently announced he’d been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. We wish him the best and a speedy recovery.

“Time and the Rani” Review

This week we delve into Sylvester McCoy’s first story as The Doctor as he goes head-to-head with renegade Time Lady – The Rani. It’s full of deception, strange alliances, quirky one-liners, reptilian type people, large bat-type creatures and the playing of spoons. Is it one for the recommended list or does it need to be buried in a quarry somewhere? It’s our review of Time and the Rani.
