116: Sass of Rassilon (State of Decay)

“I’m a Time Lord bro. Back off. BACK OFF.” – Sassy Rassilon

This week Kiyan and Dylan do not make it to Gallifrey yet, however much this title may imply that they did. Instead they fail to even leave E-Space. It’s the second story of the E-Space trilogy this week, State of Decay. It was written by Terrance Dicks and aired in November and December of 1980.


Show-notes

10:02 Purple was traditionally associated with nobility in a number of ancient cultures (and still is today).
15:16 You’ve probably already seen the new Star Wars trailer, but go ahead and watch it again. Or watch it for the first time if you haven’t seen it. It was pretty good. Or not. I dunno.
27:29 Punch cards were used to program computers and to store information back in the stone age. We’ve never seen the Doctor use his before and we’ll probably never see it again.
31:20 Here’s a pretty extensive list of vampire weaknesses from various mythologies and media (including Count Chocula).

95: He Keeps His Fortress in His Mattress (The Horror of Fang Rock)

I keep my mattress in my fortress but that’s personal preference.

This week Kiyan and Dylan are now in 0 A.N.H. (After New Hope). In the coming weeks [it’s unlikely that] they’ll discuss the effects of Star Wars on Doctor who. The serial this week is the first of season 15, The Horror of Fang Rock, written by Terrance Dicks and aired in September of 1977.

87: Now That’s What I Call Doctor Who 57 (The Brain of Morbius)

They say Steven Moffat is a big contributor to Now That’s What I Call Doctor Who: Greatest Hits Revisted 3.

This week Kiyan and Dylan explain their way through The Brain of Morbius, and successfully avoid accidentally joining a cult. The Brain of Morbius was written by Robert Bland (Terrance Dicks and Robert Holmes), and was aired in January of 1976. Just January.

(Ok so The Eight Leg two parter and the Morbius two parter are different seasons of the Eighth Doctor Adventures, but let’s not forget that a good deal of the other stories are greatest hits revisited too. I.e. the return of the Wirrn, the Zygons, Susan, the Daleks, the Cybermen and the Ice Warriors.)

78: Interstellar Intergalactic Interpol Interloper (Robot)

Interspaced into interpretive intermissions?

This week Kiyan and Dylan… take a few jabs at Pertwee (who hasn’t quite left us yet apparently) and the move forward into Tom Baker’s era with Robot. Robot was written by the previous script editor, Terrance Dicks, and was aired in December of 1974 and January of 1975.

53: It’s the Time Lords, Messing With Our Brains! (The War Games 6-10)

If I could recognizably type out the rhythm to a sad song, I would.
