Special 6: Doctor Who was a Mistake (Dimensions in Time)

Unfortunately you all know it’s true.

This week we’ve made the biggest mistake we’ve ever made. But even our biggest mistake (watching this special) can’t compare to how big of a mistake it was for the show to make Dimensions in Time. It was written by John Nathan-Turner and David Roden, and it was aired on the 26th and 27th of November, 1993.

Show-notes:

6:08 Pulfrich Effect.
10:32 Apparently the Pet Shop Boys are a musical duo. They’ve been around since 1981, so that must mean their music is bad enough for people to like it.
11:30 It’s kind of a Big Deal.
26:00 Check out our other podcast, Triple Dip.

Audio 14: The Mysterious British Part of America (The Valley of Death)

No one even knows where this supposed British part even is.

This week we actually hear Tom Baker for the first time in 20 years! Can you believe it? He sounds…. exactly the same. Honestly don’t know what I expected actually. It’s The Valley of Death, written by Philip Hinchcliffe, adapted by Jonathon Morris, and released January of 2012. The Valley of Death can be purchased for $45 as part of the Fourth Doctor Boxset (or your local equivalent) on Big Finish’s website. It’s also on Spotify.

Show-notes:

1:14 Can’t believe there’s XIV of these things.
1:19 The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars. I don’t remember the character designs being this wack.
10:07 Mickey’s Trailer
19:20 Australia though.
26:45 Meet Dave.
52:53 Krynoid podcast.

Book 3: Hate Fiction (The Romance of Crime)

Ogrons have a lot of hate stored in them.

This week we drop off the audio train for a little while to do a little mental stimulation. This week we actually had to do work for this podcast and read a book, which is honestly too much brainpower for me. It’s The Romance of Crime, written by Gareth Roberts and and published on January 19, 1995

Show-notes:

9:05 Most people don’t know this but Alcatraz is actually derived from Al Katraz, the famous Arabic poet known for mastering the haiku. One of his most famous poems: Raped by the inmates, and then beaten by the guards, then raped by the guards.
21:30 I never knew The Mask was based on a comic. Then again I never knew real life was based on a comic, so yeah.
21:45 No, he is. Nah I’m just messing with you, he’s not.

133: Napkin of Doom (The Five Doctors)

Eating dinner with the napkin of doom makes your meal much more exciting.

This week Kiyan and Dylan watch a special that appears between seasons and has already caused undue confusion as to how to place this into the episode index. At least it has to Dylan. Yes, it’s the Children in Need special The Five Doctors, which unsurprisingly aired on the 23rd of November, 1983. It was written by Terrance Dicks.

Show-notes:

2:32 “Future versions of ourselves” played by Jim and Martin of Krynoid Podcast. Be sure to check them out.
15:38 So about how much he makes per year.
15:55 Nope!

The Fourth Doctor Retrospective Ft. The Krynoid Podcast

Jim’s been calling it Trust Your Baker. Unbeknownst to him, that’s our next podcast. We’ll be talking about baking.

Yep we’re finally here. It’s been 6 or so weeks (probably, we lost track quite a while ago) since we first announced this, and it’s here. We’ve had a few stumbles along the way, but it’s really rather fun. So join us (Kiyan, Dylan, Jim and Martin) in looking back at Tom’s run as the Doctor.

Show-notes:

1:09 You can find that episode here. Just saying.
5:55 For anyone who doesn’t know much about Mary Whitehouse (like us), here’s her Wiki article.
6:58 Target was a 1977 cop drama that was apparently criticized for its over the top violence. In addition to Hinchcliffe, a bunch of other people who worked on Doctor Who were involved. Pretty cool intro though, am I right?
