199: The Sontaran Surprise (The Sontaran Stratagem & The Poison Sky)

Ah! I am so surprised that the Sontarans are in this.

This week we reveal that we’ve installed a super secret system into every car in the world. It’s the Trust Your Doctor Podcast GPS System. It comes with two equally annoying voice options: Dylan and Kiyan. It’s The Sontaran Stratagem and The Poison Sky, written by Helen Raynor and aired on April 26 and May 3, 2008.


Show-notes:


19:21 Margaret Cavendish’s The Blazing World might be the first English science fiction story.
20:01 You can probably download Some Presumptuous Approaches to Science Fiction from Project Muse is you’re a librarian, or a student, or if you work for an academic institution.
40:15 Yeah, Tommy Zoom is a British cartoon.
53:26 Hey Arnold is an American animated series that ends on a cliffhanger that didn’t get resolved for like 15 years.
57:39 Can’t believe the Ant-Man movie is already 3 years old.
58:46 Tardigrades are a microorganism that can survive in space.

189: Hovering Over Hooverville (Daleks in Manhattan & Evolution of the Daleks)

So many hoovers, so little time.

And now, Martha Jones in her first two parter. Featuring the Daleks, because bloody hell do the Daleks ever not appear? Can you imagine if they named an episode “Mystery of the Daleks” and then didn’t have the Daleks appear at all? The mystery is, where are they? It’s Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks, written by Helen Raynor and aired on April 21 and 28, 2007.


Show-notes:


14:47 More about the building of the Empire State Building here.
18:36 They should start using man o’ wars in actual wars.
19:18 They should bring these back to actual warfare too.
25:09 This was all I could find about the “Daleks have to appear every season” rumor.
39:51 Our movie trilogy podcast Triple Play has conditioned me to think of Star Wars whenever anyone says “Do it”
