113: Apparently Legendary (The Leisure Hive)

They say that she’s a myth around these parts.

This week Kiyan and Dylan reach into the 1980s for real. By which I mean, everything takes a turn for the synth. Yes, the title theme is synth, the visuals look totally 80s, and everything is in a new decade. It’s The Leisure Hive, written by David Fisher and aired in August and September of 1980.

07:49 June Hudson has a rather comprehensive Wikipedia page. Her website contains a portfolio which includes her original concept drawing for Tom’s new costume.

109: Long Chain of Life Threatening (The Creature From the Pit)

I did a play once that ended in a long chain of people holding guns to peoples heads.

This week Kiyan and Dylan secretly record in yet another undisclosed location. Luckily when they ventured out, the Lady of the realm didn’t chuck them into a pit filled with some generic creature of destruction. So instead they sat down and discussed The Creature from the Pit, written by David Fisher and aired in October and November of 1979.

108: He Wipes his Ancestors on his Pants (City of Death)

Just gonna wipe this off. Don’t need this primordial soup.

A, la cité de l’amour. Er… I mean, la cité de la mort. Only fitting that this episode features a lovely birdsong in the background, truly solidifying the love in the air. And what better way to write a serial set in the city of love than to have three writers (David Fisher, Douglas Adams, and Graham Williams) collaborate in writing a serial. Yes, it’s the City of Death, aired in September and October 1979.

Check out our crossover with Flight Through Entirety, where we talk about English Way of Death!

104: Romana and the Chocolate Factory (The Androids of Tara)

Willy Wonka is a Time Lord right?

This week Kiyan and Dylan got through David Fisher’s second serial for the show, an arguably much better piece of work. It’s called The Androids of Tara, and it aired in November and December of 1978.

Dylan is not in the fabric business. Here’s some information on tweed because he doesn’t know how tweed works.

103: Judge Judy in Hyperspace (The Stones of Blood)

Judgement in favor of the plaintiff for the sum of one piece of the Key to Time. Dismissed.

This week Kiyan and Dylan go hunting for the third piece of the Key to Time in The Stones of Blood. It was written by David Fisher and aired in October and November of 1978.

In case our context wasn’t entirely clear, we love Flight Through Entirety. Doctor Who may be tiresome, but Flight Through Entirety is most definitely not. So go and check them out and add another podcast to your queue.
