30: Knock-off Nostromo

Tim Reid & Charles Auchterlonie — Sun, 26 Jun 2022 22:00:00 +0100

Jings Crivvens!
We're back to the beginning nearly, then off to Scotland (and space) with the Tomorrow People, before roaming the dusty corridors of Gormenghast and touching nothing in the verdant pits of Chloris.

-- Spoiler warnings -- for: All Doctor Who up to and including Legend of the Sea Devils, The Tomorrow People story "The Doomsday Men", and Gormenghast - with a content warning for a brief discussion of a suicide depicted in that programme.

Regular Features:

Your Cheatin' Memory
Each episode we use therandomiser.net to choose a random Doctor Who story and see what we can recall about it. Then we go away and rewatch it to discuss next time.
This episode, we've just rewatched: to ho flo sho do blo lo flo kno so (That's in Judoon, courtesy of judoon.com, where you can translate it back to English if you want to know the episode we discussed.)

NEW! - No Complications
A new segment where we find something joyously awful or just joyous in a randomly chosen story or three...

Tangent
We're slowly and painfully watching the Tomorrow People, and this time it's The Doomsday Men. I blame the typeface.

Box of Delights
A randomly chosen rewatch of a delightful old TV show. This time we've watched Gormenghast, the 2000 BBC adaptation of the books by Mervyn Peake with possibly one of the best casts ever assembled.

Which Corridor Is This?
We've reached The Creature From The Pit in a linear rewatch of Classic Who.

28: The Fly Metaphor

Tim Reid & Charles Auchterlonie — Mon, 04 Apr 2022 22:00:00 +0100

We're back, less coherent, more forgetfulness and 37.9% less erudite. You wouldn't have it any other way. Or if you would, you've yet to write and tell us.

This time: hear Tim's pitch to Big Finish, find out what Chas did to the Germans, and join us in delighting in the Fly Metaphor.

Content warning: Brief reference to abuse. Skip from 26 minutes to 27 minutes to avoid it.
