276: It’s Me Mickey Mouse! (Empress of Mars)

Since Disney owns nearly everything I can’t imagine this crossover is far behind.

Given how many times Mars has appeared on the show it should be pretty easy to assemble some sort of timeline of the Martian Empire right? Also, wasn’t that killer water that killed everything it ever touched in the polar ice caps? The one we learned about in Waters of Mars? Shouldn’t the gang be violently ill and trying to consume each other during almost the entirety of this episode? It’s Empress of Mars, written by Mark Gatiss and aired on June 10, 2017.

Show-notes:

4:22: Scratchman was “co-written” by James Goss. And by co-written I mean it was probably mostly written by him.
4:36: “With exclusive commentary ‘He Did It’ by the Goldman Family”
21:30: Pretty sure it was Zulu Dawn. And here’s a short description of the Great Emu War from Australian Geographic.
25:03: Here’s a pretty good (but poorly formatted) list of periods in British history.
33:28: John Cena’s theme

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.

64: This is Becoming a Podcast of Moral Ambiguity (The Curse of Peladon)

Ambiguity is one of the best/worst/neutral things.

In this episode, for the first time in quite a long, long while, Kiyan and Dylan end an episode disagreeing on something. Well actually multiple things over the episode. This, of course, is a product of multiple heated debates over the course of the episode, which should be hopefully enjoyable. Is Jo the worst character in the serial? Or Peladon? That’s for the dear listener to decide. The subject of these debates was The Curse of Peladon, written by Brian Hayles, and aired in January and February of 1972.
