Third Doctor

77: The Brig is Azaxyr! (Planet of the Spiders)

This revelation changed Monster of Peladon for me.

This week Kiyan and Dylan wrap up the Third Doctor’s era with the final serial of his era, Planet of the Spiders. This episode features the Trust Your Doctor exclusive Pertwee Retrospective, so stick around to the end to listen to Kiyan and Dylan discuss his era as a whole.

76: A Genetic Coincidence Pass (The Monster of Peladon)

It’s like a free pass, but not really because it kind of doesn’t exist.

This week Kiyan and Dylan approach the end of the Third Doctor’s era, and for some reason he decides (somewhat poorly) to revisit Peladon. It’s not a very good serial, as you will find out soon enough. On the bright side, there’s lots of Alpha Centuri  and Ice Warrior voice imitations from both Kiyan and Dylan! The name of this week’s serial is The Monster of Peladon, and it was written by Brian Hayles and it aired in March and April of 1974.

Here is the history of printing wikipedia page. Apparently inkjet and dot matrix printers both existed by 1974.

75: The Dalek Syndrome (Death to the Daleks)

Syndrome was a pretty good villain. Oh wait we’re talking Daleks.

This week Kiyan and Dylan begin the end of the beginning eras of Doctor Who. If that makes sense. Well basically they’re coming to the end of the Third Doctor’s era, and it’s pretty clearly running down. Terrance Dicks, Barry Letts, and Jon Pertwee have all decided by this time to leave the show at the end of the season. The serial that has apparently so blatantly signposted this end of an era is Death to the Daleks, written by Terry Nation and aired in February and March of 1974.

74: That’s Making Life Take the Lemons Back (Invasion of the Dinosaurs)

And then it’s making life not exist anymore!

This week Kiyan and Dylan dive into Malcolm Hulke’s final serial, Invasion of the Dinosaurs. To their pleasant surprise, this weeks serial featured quite a fair bit of character development for the UNIT crew, with Benton, Yates, and The Brig all getting some time in the spotlight. Invasion of the Dinosaurs was aired in January and February of 1974.

By the way, the reference no one would get was to Shrek the Musical. You’re welcome.

Here’s a link to the first volume of that ebook by Hugh Pearson: The Lost Lords of Time: Recons Volume One

73: The Most Low Octane Fight (The Time Warrior)

72: Props to the Prop Designers (The Green Death)

Don’t mind me, just gonna prop open the door so Jo can come back.

This week Kiyan and Dylan say goodbye to Jo Grant in her final serial, The Green Death. And even in her final moments Dylan and Kiyan remain divided in their opinion of her. Thanks Jo, you were definitely not a scientist. The Green Death was written by Robert Sloman and aired in May and June of 1973.

71: Falling Rocks Hair Gel (Planet of the Daleks)

Goes great with the Hard Rock Cafe!

Book 1: What a Novel Concept! (Last of the Gadarene) Ft. Flight Through Entirety

Be.. our.. guest! Be our guest! Put our podcast to the test!

In this very special episode of Trust Your Doctor where we read a book, Kiyan and Dylan are joined by Nathan and Brendan from Flight Through Entirety. So I guess the title is a misnomer since we didn’t get all of Flight Through Entirety on the show. Could you imagine a show with that many people? Well anyway, the quatro attempt to discuss the inner workings and the plot line of Last of the Gaderene, a Third Doctor novel written by Mark Gatiss and originally published in January 2000, later republished in 2013. Last of the Gaderene takes place between Planet of the Daleks and The Green Death. Maybe we’ll read more books in the future. Who knows?

69: Induced to Eye-Rolls (Carnival of Monsters)
