Audio 7: Card Playing Alien (Phantasmagoria)

Daleks are probably pretty bad card-players.

This week Mark Gatiss returns to the podcast. Sort of. I mean, he’s not a guest or anything, he’s just written another story that we’re reviewing, which mean’s he’s the first writer to cross mediums for us. It’s Phantasmagoria, written by Mark Gatiss and released in October 1999. Phantasmagoria can be purchased for $3 (or your local equivalent) on Big Finish’s website.


Show-notes:


1:24 Here is more info about false memories. Careful when looking up Berenstein/stain Bears info, people have been known to go missing after they found out too much.
4:56 Rounders was invented in 1760 by a group of disgruntled parakeets who were fed up with the lack of rounders in their society. It has since become one of the most well-known vegetables of all time, and is on display at the museum of natural history in New York, New York, USA.
6:55 RINGS.
9:11 He was an orange.
24:08 Here’s the video if you’re interested, which you shouldn’t be, cause it’s terrifying. I see it every time I blink now.

138: Where’s My Pro-War Serial? (Planet of Fire)

War is the future. War is our destiny.

This week we get two companion write outs! Two! Although I don’t think Kamelion can really be considered a companion so much as a plot device really. Turlough, on the other hand, one of the most fleshed out characters that’s not The Doctor. It’s Planet of Fire, written by Peter Grimwade and aired in February and March of 1984.


Show-notes:


6:17 It’s called Shell Shock in case anyone’s interested.
29:06 Yeah, kinda.
39:21 Or black… orchids!!!
55:01 Here it is. That cloudy sky, that damp vegetation, how it looks like it just rained and is probably gonna start raining again soon… just another typical day in Southern California. 🙂
56:20 Oh yeah, these things. I remember those things. They were gross.

137: Bear Attacks at the BBC (Resurrection of the Daleks)

When are we getting a serious bear themed episode of Doctor Who?

Wow who would have guess that Davros would come back? And who would guess that this serial would basically display genocide? About 6 people made it out of this serial alive. Amazing. It’s Resurrection of the Daleks written by Eric Saward and aired in February of 1984.

All links are on the website.


Show-notes:


1:52 It was because of the 1984 winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. Interestingly, that was one of the only Olympic games held in a communist country.
3:33 NECESSARY TECHNOLOGY.
18:55 Oh bugger.
26:41 And then he breaks into song.
32:10 You mean this one?

136: Tractor Beam Potatoes (Frontios)

French fries are potatoes so potatoes have to be good right?

A grey quarry. Bland spaceship sets. Poor concept execution. The question is, am I describing Underworld or Frontios? It’s Frontios. Sorry. Frontios was written by Christopher H. Bidmead and aired in January and February of 1984.

135: Giant Frog Head (The Awakening)

Ribbit ribbit. Ribbit? Ribbit ribbit ribbit.

This week we continue not talking about the serial by talking about Pringles. Did you know Pringles are pretty good? Probably one of the best potato chips. It’s The Awakening, written by Eric Pringle and aired in January of 1984.


Show-notes:


0:47 It doesn’t have an apostrophe, so I guess each time you eat Pringles you’re eating a little piece of Pringle.
7:34 It would probably be curling.
10:53 Apparently it’s just some spring festival. LAME. What’s more interesting is that it’s tied to International Workers’ Day and groups like Industrial Workers of the World just based on when the holiday is. It’s also related to Beltane, which we saw in The Daemons.
11:27 Wow, they barely show jack.
19:49 Maybe one of these days we’ll watch that trilogy for our other podcast, Trout Trip.

134: Generic-Looking Piece of Garbage (Warriors of the Deep)

I’ve thrown out way more interesting garbage.

I think, honestly, season 21 burned all of us. No one could have seen this coming. This week we begin the train wreck with Warriors of the Deep, written by Johnny Byrne and aired in January of 1984.


Show-notes:


1:46 Nope, never heard of it.
10:18 Check out Triple Play, our other podcast where we review custom license plates.
10:45 Most people don’t know that skin diving is the national sport of Nepal.
27:42 Ha ha!

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!

132: Until We’re At Satan (The King’s Demons)

Only 66 more to go…

Who thought that a serial with the Master of all characters could be so horribly boring? THE MASTER! And it didn’t help that Terence Dudley has been consistently declining in quality since his first outing. It’s The King’s Demons, written by Terence Dudley and aired in March of 1983.


Show-notes:


0:28 We’re talking about the cool Iron Maiden, not the torture device.
5:40 Thank god I didn’t grow up in the 80s.
9:38 WOW.
11:51 Here’s more about beds in the middle ages. I say we all go back to straw. It probably builds character.
13:27 Apparently it was “rare” to do so. But I say more people should start doing it in real life. It probably builds character.
20:15 And who you never see again.

131: Iron Chef Space (Enlightenment)

Every planet sends one chef, we decided to send Gordon Ramsey.

As we draw nearer to the end of the season, we decide to race some ships in outer space. Additionally, we say goodbye to… the Black Guardian, for now that is. It’s the conclusion of the Black Guardian trilogy with Enlightenment, written by Barbara Clegg and aired in March of 1983.


Show-notes:


9:38 Not sure whether this is the right thing cause I was too lazy to read the article.
26:15 Check out our other podcast, Double Day.
31:42 Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas, which came out in 1999, was Disney’s first Christmas special. 14 years and several thousand complaint letters later, Disney finally released their first Hanukkah movie, Frozen, to critical acclaim. Other Disney holiday specials include The Emperor’s New Groove (Thanksgiving) and Dreamworks’ How to Train Your Dragon (Guy Fawkes Day).
32:30 Kimba the White Lion was actually a TV show. Many people have noticed that Lion King bears some striking resemblances to it, but what most people don’t know is that Kimba itself was actually based on Disney’s classic 1896 movie Lions 2: Lions.

130: Pimp My Carpet (Terminus)

My new carpet is purple and definitely not copyright infringing.

This week we once again learn why Dylan went into Physics and not English. It’s garment. Kiyan was right, Dylan was wrong. Dylan regrets his mistake, and apologizes to all the linguists who we have offended with our podcast. In other news, they try and talk about Terminus, written by Steve Gallagher and aired in February of 1983.


Show-notes:


3:43 Check out our other podcast, Trap Trip.
9:54 🙁
13:47 He later became one of the 28 competitors from Bahamas at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
14:13 They did.
30:36 Garm, garmr, garmest.
