154: The Audacity of Hope (Dragonfire)

And the inevitable disappointment that comes after it.

And we close out the first season of Sylvester McCoy. It’s the real McCoy. Two seasons left, and spoiler, The Seventh Doctor has a snap character change next week. It’s Dragonfire, written by Ian Briggs, aired in November and December of 1987.


Show-notes:


1:04 Hopefully our other podcast, Triple Play, isn’t alien to you. But if it is, check it out.
9:56 It’s out now.
24:21 Svalbard is part of Norway and has some of the northernmost settlements in the world. This is what it looks like in summer.
26:13 Pinewood Derby. Pretty good episode.

153: The Power of Malcolm Krohll (Delta and the Bannermen)

You shouldn’t mess with the power of Malcolm, it might kill you.

This week we’re on the downslope for season 24 already. We’re already 3/4 of the way through the season, although if they had done a 6 part serial we’d be done already. Wouldn’t that be great? It’s Delta and the Bannerman, written by Malcolm Kohll, and aired in November of 1987.


Show-notes:


04:36 Now only a $100 value! Sure must be the happiest place on earth for whoever’s raking in all this money.
12:00 OG version’s the best.
30:43 Wow, 2009 camcorder-vision. Still not the stupidest answer on this show sadly.

152: Everybody Has Their Own Way of Eating People (Paradise Towers)

Mine is lightly salted. I like to keep it simple.

Moving swiftly through the Seventh Doctor. He only has 12 serials, so every serial we cover moves us 1/12 of the way closer to the end. That’s pretty much the quickest we’d move through any Doctor except maybe the 6th. Too lazy to do the math now. It’s Paradise Towers written by Stephen Wyatt and aired in October of 1987.


Show-notes:


15:43 Heeeeere’s PEX!!
44:30 Check out our other podcast, Dribble Day.

151: Bow Ties or No Ties (Time and the Rani)

I’ll take cable ties thanks.

This week we return to your regularly scheduled programming. Which means Pip and Jane Baker are back writing for the show, stumbling through the darkness because no one knows how the hell to characterize the 7th Doctor yet. Thanks Eric Saward/JNT/Andrew Cartmel/Whoever you want to blame for this. It’s Time and the Rani, aired in September of 1987.


Show-notes:


5:36 Crispin Glover, who usually goes by his alter-ego “Really Distinctive Facial Structure Man,” sued some people over some stuff.
25:16 The “intense” sound effects at the end of this.
