308: Gween and the Green Knight (They Keep Killing Suzie)

The more podcasts we do the more I think we should just do The Avengers.

So one day I was just walking along right, and then this girl just pops out of nowhere and stabs me! And then she uses this glove and brings me back and I’m like, what the heck. Well then I was gone again, but while I was gone she stabbed me. Again! And brought me back and so on and so forth anyway long story short I can’t die anymore. It’s They Keep Killing Suzie, written by Paul Tomlin and Dave McCulloch  and aired on December 3, 2006.


Show-notes:


2:11: Yeah, they’re still putting Tom Clancy’s name on the covers of “his” books. They do credit the actual writers too though.

307: Decorative VeggieTales ft. Steven (Greeks Bearing Gifts)

We should’ve named our website that, what were we thinking?

Aw man I feel like I really missed out by never watching veggietales. I mean for real so many people seem to have considered it an integral part of their childhood. Everyone on the internet talks about it as if it was some sort of great revolution in childhood television and I’m over here having not watched it. Damn. It’s Greeks Bearing Gifts, written by  and aired on November 26, 2006.

306: The Village People are In Control of Everything (Countrycide)

I’m about to crack this conspiracy wide open.

A lovely stroll with the Village People. I look out across the village. We are happy here. We listen to Go West every day, on repeat. In the Navy is our national anthem. And when we’re feeling really risque, we’ll listen to YMCA. We’ve all heard it so many times we can recite the dance from memory. It is a good life. It’s Countrycide, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on November 19, 2006.

305: Big Finish, Open Up! (Small Worlds)

The year is 2099. Big Finish prowls the street looking for non-Doctor Who fans.

I had never even made any association between this and the really annoyingly catchy Disney song until right this second. And now that I’ve made that association I’m not going to be able to unmake it. Plus now you’ve probably got that song stuck in your head, and you know what? You’re welcome. It’s Small Worlds, written by PJ Hammond and aired on November 12, 2006.


Show-notes:


1:05: If you want to listen to us talk about Sapphire and Steel, The Prisoner, and other wonderful shows like Star Cops and Children of the Stones, check out our classic sci-fi podcast Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast.
16:26: The Museum of Hoaxes has a write up and images of the Cottingley Fairies photos.
19:44: Wow for some reason dozens of people have adapted Conan Doyle’s The Lost World. Apparently I was wrong about Hound of the Baskervilles being not a Sherlock story at first. 50% isn’t so bad.
35:00: Here’s the full Nightmare painting from 1781. According to etymonline, nightmare doesn’t come from the painting, but did enter the modern usage of “any bad dream” after the painting was made.
39:51: World War I was 1914 to 1918.
54:19: Here’s the full Stolen Child poem by W.B. Yeats.
1:09:54: If you want to listen to us talk about movie trilogies, check out our movie trilogy podcast, Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast

As promised here’s a Christian take on Torchwood. Spoiler: they didn’t like it. (Also spoiler warning for season 4.)
While we’re at it, here’s another Christian take on the show, this time from Be Thinking (warning: this one spoils the Children of Earth season).
Christian.org.uk also reported on how many Christians were offended by Torchwood and complained about it.

304: The UNIT Effect (Cyberwoman)

I wish I was a UNIT soldier who could indiscriminately fail at his job like that.

Did you know I was partially cyberized once? It’s true, if you go back to some of our old episodes I’m sure you could hear when my voice would just go all cyber for some reason. Yeah that’s when I was cyberized. Luckily I was able to uncyberize myself but unfortunately I can’t really remember how I did that so that knowledge has been lost to the ages. Sorry. It’s Cyberwoman, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on November 5, 2006.

33:47: “What’s the point of being grown up if you can’t be childish sometimes?” is apparently from Robot, at least according to the BBC.
35:40: Not this shit again.
1:10:30: Yeah, I couldn’t find it.
1:26:40: Amazing quote

303: Complementary Desert Eagle (Ghost Machine)

Not to be confused with Ghost IN The Machine.

If I had a ghost machine, I’d open that puppy up when I got into my apartment to find out if someone died in here. I might not want to actually know that, actually. Can you imagine if Gwen took the machine home, fired it up, and then boom just a straight montage of 6 murders happening in her home? The trauma that would induce. It’s Ghost Machine, written by Helen Raynor and aired on October 29, 2006.


Show-notes:


3:45: Relive our golden years with Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast or our sad attempt to recapture the magic with Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast.
18:33: Here’s the link to our April Fool’s episode… I still can’t believe we did this.
28:25: Meant 90 degrees here.
55:36: Apparently you can bleed out in as little as 5 minutes.
1:26:38: I can’t believe I’ve never heard of Chocolate Rain sequel Cherry Chocolate Rain.
1:27:44: Blue Jeans and Bloody Tears for Eurovision 2020.

302: The Seven Sins of Torchwood (Day One)

And the secret 0th sin: existence.

The name of this story evokes strong memories of… something. Another story or tv show or movie and I just can’t really place what it is. I seriously feel like I watched something called Day One once upon a time and I genuinely cannot remember what the heck it was. That’s so weird. It’s Day One, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on October 22, 2006.


Show-notes:
4:27: You’re welcome for this masterpiece of movie musical history. My personal favourite part is 1:19, when a dancer launches a bowling ball sideways accidentally and the shot immediately cuts, presumably to avoid showing the carnage that caused.
8:40: Every time.
16:14: If you want to listen us talk about classic sci-fi shows like Sapphire & Steel or The Prisoner, check out our classic sci-fi podcast, Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast.
27:01: FBI, OPEN UP
43:16: Yes, there really is a page for masturbation on the tardis wiki.
56:50: Here’s the trailer for Vampire Diary. Y’know, I kind of miss the edginess of the mid 00s.
58:00: Yeah, I was completely wrong here. Twilight was never a Harry Potter fanfic. Dylan was right. It was 50 Shades that started as a Twilight fanfic.

301: A Christian Reading of Torchwood (Everything Changes)

I’m probably the worst person to do this kind of reading honestly.

The title of this weeks episode of Torchwood is surprisingly apt for the change in the show that we’re also going to experience. Which is why Kiyan was able to so expertly make that pun last week about it. Well not much else to say besides that. It’s Everything Changes, written by Russell T. Davies and aired on October 22, 2006.


Show-notes:


8:40: If you want to listen to us talk about Blake’s 7, check out our Blake’s 7 podcast, Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
9:41: And if you want to listen to us talk about old shows that aren’t Doctor Who or Blake’s 7, check out our classic sci-fi podcast, Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast.
19:04: OR if you want to listen to us talk about movie trilogies, check out our movie trilogy podcast, Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast.
42:50: All of this is wrong. Cardiff Bay technically is in a river, but if you look on a map, it’s basically right where the river opens up into the sea. So it’s basically the sea. My bad.
50:50: Apparently pterosaurs are the the biggest things ever to fly through the skies lol.
1:29:29: Here’s the cover of The Lives of Captain Jack. Pretty great.

Redux 7: Bondage Spiderwebs (Time and the Rani)

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.


Show-notes:


6:47: Much as I hate to link to this AGAIN, here’s The Bikini Bottom Horror.
10:57: If you want to listen to us talk about Back to the Future (and Crispin Glover’s legal battle), you’re in luck I guess.
17:29: Here’s a quick (but kind of old-ish) video about Hong Kong’s cage housing.
21:07: Behold: the Area 51 Naruto runner
22:30: Here’s the stupid asteroid/meteor/meteorite overview thing AGAIN.
37:16: If you want to listen to us talk about classic sci-fi, check out our classic sci-fi podcast Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast. Oh, and we also have a completed Blake’s 7 podcast called Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast. So if you wwant to hear a Blake’s 7 podcast from us, check that out.
43:37: Or maybe Gotye’s now regretting not monetizing his youtube videos. (Probably not but you never know.)

Redux 6 : Chekhov’s Stinger (Mindwarp)

It’s like a shitty version of the mystery mobile.

Alright gang buckle up because we’re coming to the end of this insane ride and we’re doing it right. And by doing it righ I mean we’re mindwarping ourselves, so I’ll putting my brain in Kiyan and he’s putting his brain in me and then absolutely nothing will change because as it turns out in the TYD canon we don’t really have defined characters. Or do we? Also we’ll be retconning that away in two weeks when we start Torchwood so. It’s Mindwarp, written by Philip Martin and aired between October 4th and 25th, 1986.


Show-notes:
2:09: Actual recorded audio of Philip Martin bailing.
6:56: The novel that features Sil is called Mission to Magnus. It came out in 1990… and also has the Ice Warriors in it?!
15:40: Actually according to the Tardis wiki, Perpugilliam means “she who lives in the hills.” So I don’t know what the hell I was talking about here.
19:33: The Rock actually streamed some of his “cheat day” meals recently. (Or maybe he always does this? I don’t know.) Here’s one of them.
24:16: Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast is a podcast where we talk about movie trilogies and that you should check out if you want to listen to us talk about movie trilogies in podcast format.
31:40: Dudley Simpson had already stopped composing for the show by this point.
36:09: Rare footage of Sil
55:17: Funny that we should mention Sapphire & Steel here considering we’re watching it for one of our other podcasts, Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast.
1:05:40: Yeah, the 1970 Cromwell movie has Alec Guinness in it.
1:07:47: Funny we should mention Blake’s 7 here since we have a completed Blake’s 7 podcast called Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
1:08:35: Vargas was the name of Brian Blessed’s character in Blake’s 7.
