This week, Brendan, Nathan and Richard build a giant Seabase underwater. It’s going to be the best, most beautiful Seabase ever. And we’ll get the Silurians to pay for it!

Buy the story!

Warriors of the Deep was released on DVD in 2008. In the US, it was released on its own (Amazon US), but in the UK, it was released along with Doctor Who and the Silurians and The Sea-Devils in the surprisingly good Beneath the Surface box set. (Amazon UK).

Notes and links

This story’s writer, Johnny Byrne, wrote more episodes of the first season of Space: 1999 than anyone else ever. And, my God, can’t you tell from this story?

Fans of all these corridors looking the same to me will enjoy Lenny Henry’s famous Doctor Who sketch from 1985.

Elizabeth Sandifer discusses the problem of bases under siege in her TARDIS Eruditorum entry on The Ice Warriors.

Tom Adams, Vorshak in this story, stars in the Terry Nation-penned episode of The Avengers called Takeover. And he’s also in The Far-Distant Dead and Death on the Slipway.

The real world counterpart to hexachromite gas is called Hexavalent Chromium. It’s brutally poisonous. In Australia, we’ve been using it to carelessly poison some of our remote communities.

Cornell, Day and Topping theorise that this story’s continuity problems could be solved by positing a third encounter between Pertwee and the Silurians in this entry in their The Discontinuity Guide.

Gary Russell desperately attempts to wallpaper over these horrific continuity problems, with some success, in his Virgin Missing Adventure, The Scales of Injustice. It was republished as part of The Monster Collection in 2014. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK) (Amazon AU)

This week Phil and Paul give their series 2 retrospective a dusting down with a look The Idiot's Lantern written by Mark Gatiss. Both of them seem to have a bit of hard time with this one, with ropey acting and the Doctor and Rose being more smug that it is humanly possible to stomach. However, Phil gets cold feet while criticising an actor with dubious connections while Paul quickly distances himself by pinching the last lifeboat.

And in the news, the Doctor Who Festival is coming to London this November, casting and writer news for series 9 and in Omega's Tat Corner, John Barrowman gets scrutinised and a new Doctor Who Plush doll for which Paul uses to plug the all new Phil Plush doll that comes with four adorable catchphrases!

This week, the opening “what have we been doing since last time” section takes longer than the main theme section. That’s what happens when all four members of The Six Faces of Delusion discover a social life.

Before we tackle the first four episodes of “Class”, Allan attends the unveiling of Jon Pertwee’s blue plaque and meets a shedload of celebrities. Mark visits Dungeness Power Station (a.k.a. The Nuton Power Complex from “Claws of Axos”) before coming face to face with dinosaurs which never existed. Doc and Hayden attend the premier of the animated “Power of the Daleks” at the British Film Institute and hide from a roomful of uber-fans while the celebrities hide in the green room.

Bondfinger

The Rodgeathon is reaching its ultimate conclusion: in a couple of weeks, we'll be recording our final Rodgumentary, on the 1985 classic A View to a Kill.

In the meantime, you can enjoy our other Rodgecasts, from For Your Eyes Only to Live and Let Die. Other Bonds are also available, of course. You can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

News! News! News! So much news this week, from Vines of P-Cap playing guitar to Series 9 rumours, royal honours, convention doings and undoings, and (fake, but awesome) Doctor Who LEGO video games! The mind boggles! "But what else, you fiends?!" you declare, and for you, beloved listener, we also have Verity's own Tansy Rayner Roberts with us for a commentary on "Dark Water", the penultimate Series 8 showstopper featuring water, darkness and more!

This week, Brendan, Nathan and Richard build a giant Seabase underwater. It's going to be the best, most beautiful Seabase ever. And we'll get the Silurians to pay for it!

Buy the story!

Warriors of the Deep was released on DVD in 2008. In the US, it was released on its own (Amazon US), but in the UK, it was released along with Doctor Who and the Silurians and The Sea-Devils in the surprisingly good Beneath the Surface box set. (Amazon UK).

Notes and links

This story's writer, Johnny Byrne, wrote more episodes of the first season of Space: 1999 than anyone else ever. And, my God, can't you tell from this story?

Fans of all these corridors looking the same to me will enjoy Lenny Henry's famous Doctor Who sketch from 1985.

Philip Sandifer discusses the problem of bases under siege in his TARDIS Eruditorum entry on The Ice Warriors.

Tom Adams, Vorshak in this story, stars in the Terry Nation-penned episode of The Avengers called Takeover. And he's also in The Far-Distant Dead and Death on the Slipway.

The real world counterpart to hexachromite gas is called Hexavalent Chromium. It's brutally poisonous. In Australia, we've been using it to carelessly poison some of our remote communities.

Cornell, Day and Topping theorise that this story's continuity problems could be solved by positing a third encounter between Pertwee and the Silurians in this entry in their The Discontinuity Guide.

Gary Russell desperately attempts to wallpaper over these horrific continuity problems, with some success, in his Virgin Missing Adventure, The Scales of Injustice. It was republished as part of The Monster Collection in 2014. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK) (Amazon AU)

Doctor Who in 10 Seconds

Brendan has spent the last few weeks in Fiji, basically living on drinks with umbrellas in them and not doing any work. So there are no new episodes of Doctor Who in 10 seconds right now. But that won't prevent you from enjoying the previous 7 episodes, in which Brendan summarises the first 7 seasons of Doctor Who. Visit the webpage or subscribe to the show on YouTube.

Ben and David do an overview of the Hinchcliffe/Holmes era as they continue their look at horror in Who by looking at this era's influences and impact on the show. Do these stories hold up for today's fandom? How 'horrible' are they? Are they mostly Hammer and other horror movie pastiches? What were the influences of Mary Whitehouse and her British conservatism in the 1970s, and why did David Sullivan name a magazine after her? From "teatime terror for tots" to Bristol Boy catchphrases, join the Metebelis 2 as they geek out about Season 12 and chat about horror, sadism, and cliffhangers. Intro music by Dudley Simpson's incidental music score from the opening of "The Ark in Space" Part One. Outro music "Sarah Pursued/The Prototype" from music composed by Dudley Simpson for "Genesis of the Daleks" and arranged and performed by Heathcliff Blair.

Third Doctor, and Jo "The Master is back! Assuming the alias of Professor Thascales, he harbours a plot to seize control of time itself. Can The Doctor and Jo thwart his terrible plan?  What secrets does the trident-shaped crystal hold? Why is the ancient city of Atlantis central to the master's plan? And what mythical terror lies at the heart of the maze? With time literally against them, the odds might just be too great for the time travellers..." Written By: Robert Sloman and Barry Letts Directed By: Paul Bernard

Rob and Dave from the Doctor Who Show podcast review episodes of the BBC series (and Doctor Who spin-off), Class.

Thrown into detention, the gang find themselves trapped in a prison that forces them to confess their secrets. Will they escape before the alien power tears them apart forever?

Erika and Steven wash their hands of the final episode of this Doctor Who serial from 1966. The boardgame thing is fun, but the “stupid ball” is back in play in a big way.

Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky

We've whipped Skype into submission and are ready to finish our Top 10 Creepy lists. Lots of agreements, a few dissagreements, and a whole lot of on topic rabbit chasing. We've also got a teeny, tiny bit of news, and an update on the irradiated Miss Cheryl.
