97: Little House on the Priory (Image of the Fendahl)

A priory is a monastery, so a house ON the priory is… interesting.

This week Kiyan and Dylan explore Chris Boucher’s final serial for Doctor Who, Image of the Fendahl. It’s almost amazing, but the dialogue falls apart. Pity. It aired in October and November of 1977.

Audio 1: I Thought it Was Like… MEOW (Find and Replace)

Fun fact: Incursion is spelt with an I.

This was originally recorded as part of a potential (but at the time unconfirmed) December/January hiatus. Since then it’s been confirmed that the hiatus will not be necessary. And now it’s being released as a “thanksgiving” special. If you needed something to be thankful for, you can now be thankful for more Trust Your Doctor. You’re welcome.

Anyway, in this episode Kiyan and Dylan ventured into the world of audio dramas with a Third Doctor and Jo grant adventure named Find and Replace. If you want to pick up the story you can at Big Finish’s website for $8 on download, and ~$14 on CD. It was written by Paul Magrs and released in September of 2010.

96: How Do the Clones Clone Their Clothes? (The Invisible Enemy)

How does cloning even work? I don’t understand.

Alternate title: Killing is the Most Perfect Form of Distraction. Such is life I suppose. This week Kian and Dylan talk about clone. No, not Orphan Black, it’s The Invisible Enemy, written by Bob Baker and David Martin and aired in October of 1977. Neither of us have even watched Orphan Black.

95: He Keeps His Fortress in His Mattress (The Horror of Fang Rock)

I keep my mattress in my fortress but that’s personal preference.

This week Kiyan and Dylan are now in 0 A.N.H. (After New Hope). In the coming weeks [it’s unlikely that] they’ll discuss the effects of Star Wars on Doctor who. The serial this week is the first of season 15, The Horror of Fang Rock, written by Terrance Dicks and aired in September of 1977.

Sometimes even accepting isn’t enough.

92: What Does God Need With a Spaceship? (The Face of Evil)

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier was not the best Star Trek film.

This week Kiyan and Dylan boldly go where many people have gone before to discover the Doctor’s new companion, Leela! Not to be confused with other characters named Leela that are famous in other franchises. How confusing. The serial of introduction is The Face of Evil, written by Chris Boucher and aired in January of 1977.

Sidenote, Chris Boucher was script editor and not show runner. Minor error, large difference. On the upshot, here’s the character who crossed over between Doctor Who and Blake’s 7, possibly establishing them in the same universe. Decorative Vegetable Blake’s 7 podcast confirmed?

91: Doctor Who: Age of Ultron (The Deadly Assassin)

“You’re all just puppets in my political game” – Chancellor “Ultron” Goth.

This week we learn that Dylan doesn’t know the difference between commissioned and decommissioned. To be fair, flammable and inflammable mean the same thing, so… honest mistake. Anyway, the serial at hand for Kiyan and Dylan this week is The Deadly Assassin, written by Robert Holmes and aired in October and November of 1976.

90: There’s a Lot of Hands in This Serial (The Hand of Fear)

Wow, a lot looks really weird in that title.

This week Kiyan and Dylan discuss hands. Like all sorts of hands. Human hands, Kastrian Hands, Sarah Jane’s Hands. Why Sarah Jane’s in particular? Because it’s her final serial, The Hand of Fear, written by Bob Baker and David Martin and aired in October of 1976.

89: Sacrifice Sarah to Davros (The Masque of Mandragora)

All hail the mighty Davros. I think.

This week Kiyan and Dylan accidentally shoe-horn Davros into a non-Dalek serial. Actually, Dylan won’t lie, he chose this title for the sweet, sweet SEO. This week the non-Dalek serial that they covered was The Masque of Mandragora, written by Lewis Marks and aired in September of 1976.
