Wait. Romana regenerates willy-nilly, Davros is immortal and Daleks are just robots?

Wait. Romana regenerates willy-nilly, Davros is immortal and Daleks are just robots?

The post C104 Destiny of the Daleks appeared first on Who Back When | A Doctor Who Podcast.

Another regeneration! Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee, in his first adventure. We meet scientist, Liz Shaw and Brigadier Alexander Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. Ross gets the synopsis down to about 14 minutes. The discussion is the first recording we ever made -- our test podcast. We liked the feel and pace of that conversation and didn't think we could recreate it. So please forgive the early days audio standards and enjoy Spearhead from Space!

Richard, Giles and Paul are back and this time we're looking at debuts, and specifically debut stories where the Doctor is not treated as a classical hero. First we look at Sixth Doctor opener The Twin Dilemma and then we examine the Twelfth Doctor's initial story Deep Breath. Along the way we have a surprisingly wide-ranging chat about colonialism, bad science, Crimewatch, TV writers who go a bit mad when given the chance to do Sci-Fi, sexism and historical appropriation.

Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it. You can rate us directly on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser.com

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

The news is thinner than David Tennant’s waistline this week, despite the appearance of good ol’ Number 10 along with current TARDIS occupant 13 herself on James Corden’s late night talk show. Gallifrey One hotel rooms are opening up this week, a peek at Time Lord Victorious and…that’s the extent of it. Perhaps it’s the fault of the advanced science of tachyonics as seen in Part One of our Classic Series Commentary for…”The Leisure Hive”!

Hey Who fans! Very light on news this week but a couple of merch items get us through to our review of the 2nd Doctor story – The Dominators.

The News

No news this week.

Merch Corner

One of the first spin-off movies, Wartime Chronicles, is getting a re-release with a couple of extra features. Worth a look if you’re a Sgt. Benton fan.

We talk through the recently announced statues coming our way from Robert Harrop this year.

“The Dominators” Review

A five parter 2nd Doctor story to kick off Troughton’s second series. Often viewed as slow and light on actual story can we get into it or are we plodding around an island looking for Quarks?

Thank you all for listening and subscribing. Next week it’s the turn of the 9th Doctor as we look into the first of a two-parter: The Empty Child. Until then have an awesome week and remember – Allons-y!

Buckle in folks. Episode 193 of The Oncoming Storm is bursting at the seams! It's 3 hours of Doctor Who goodness! Now, we know it's a little long, but Ashley, Josh, Rachel, and Jeff just couldn't help themselves. After all, first up they're talking what may be the greatest Big Finish of all time, A Death in the Family by Stephen Hall. We needed tissues for this one. But it doesn't stop there! There's a side trip to see What Sarah Jane was up to before The Sarah Jane Adventures in Test of Nerve by David Bishop. Then the team finally finishes out Doom Coalition 3 by reviewing The Crucible of Souls by John Dorney. And lastly, because Ashley demanded it, we go back to Peladon with Bride of Peladon by Barnaby Edwards. So be sure to hydrate and join us for the marathon! The Oncoming Storm... this time, Nobody is stopping us from having a good episode!

I only like bondage anthills personally.

So we’ve come to the end of our little journey, which means it’s time to jump back into the late 2000’s for some quality early 21st century television. But before that, we have to suffer through Pip and Jane Baker’s masterpiece. Some say it’s their greatest work, their magnum opus. It’s Time and the Rani, written by Pip and Jane Baker and aired between September 7th and 28th, 1987.
