Bonus Episode 4: Bit of a Swashbuckling Hero (Interview with Peter Purves)

Sunday Mar 29, 2020

Sunday Mar 29, 2020

It’s March 2020, and the Watchers in the Fourth Dimension have reached the end of Steven Taylor’s time as the Doctor’s companion. With COVID-19 running rampant across the world, and everyone (hopefully) practicing social distancing, we are here to help you stave off boredom for an hour, by bringing you a special bonus episode, in which Anthony interviews the man who played Steven himself, Peter Purves!

 

Their conversation meanders through Peter’s career in theatre and in TV, starting with his time in repertory theatre, to Doctor Who, and into presenting the likes of Blue Peter, Record Breakers, and the Crufts Dog Show, before finally coming back to Doctor Who through Big Finish’s audio productions. This convention panel-length interview is truly something to keep you entertained at home during this time.

 

As a thank you to Peter for his time, we made a $200 donation to Dogs for Good, a charity providing assistance dogs to those in need. If you would like to support this worthy cause, please follow the link and click on “Donate now.”

 

Peter’s time on Doctor Who can be found through the following media:

Episode 29: Tor Loser (The Savages)

Sunday Mar 22, 2020

Sunday Mar 22, 2020

In this episode, “Tor Loser,” the team are off to a place where a ruling upperclass lives off the energy and lifeforce of an oppressed working class. No, it’s not Victorian Britain, but actually The Savages - a story that is bizarrely overlooked by a lot of fans, given that it's really quite good.

 

This episode, Anthony gets confused on which story we’re meant to be talking about, Julie gets Savage on Reilly, Don doesn’t bash John Wiles (for a change), and Reilly talks about the Doctor’s Reacting Vibrator. The entire crew is surprised when Dodo is actually useful for a change.

 

For those who want to watch along with us, this story is sadly missing. You can find the missing episodes on narrated audio in The Lost TV Episodes: Collection Two box set through either Amazon US (https://amzn.to/3BT5dAh) or Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3vlQnzY). If you want to watch the reconstruction, you should Google it – we don’t want to be naughty by posting a link to Dailymotion *cough*.

Episode 28: Flirting with Competence (The Gunfighters)

Sunday Mar 08, 2020

Sunday Mar 08, 2020

In this episode, “Flirting with Competence,” we’re off to the Wild West so that the Doctor can get a tooth extracted… wait, what!? It’s the kind of thing that could only happen in 60s Doctor Who, and this story is The Gunfighters! Will the Watchers survive the repeated refrains of the infamous Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon?

 

This time around, Anthony raves about the sets and the costumes, Reilly discusses his struggles with Westerns, Julie sings a delightful little ditty based on The Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon, and Don finds himself at odds with Reilly’s opinion for the first time in a while. The entire team discusses accents – unsurprisingly, given that three of the four cast members are born and bred Americans.

 

For those who want to watch along with us, this story is one that still exists in its entirety. You can get this story on DVD as a standalone release from Amazon US (https://amzn.to/3n4JaAG), or as part of the Earth Story boxset from Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3FZPjXp). If streaming is more your thing, you can stream it from Britbox US (http://www.britbox.com) or Britbox UK (http://www.britbox.co.uk).

Sunday Feb 23, 2020

Sunday Feb 23, 2020

In this episode, “I Want to Talk About Chairs,” we’re off to the realm of an extremely bored immortal with a penchant for fun and games. That’s right – it’s The Celestial Toymaker, a story that undoubtedly divides opinion in fandom.

 

This episode, Anthony talks about his fear of clowns, Reilly gets excited about the notion of the return of Sgt. Ruggs and Mrs. Wiggs, Julie talks about chairs, and Don talks about why John Wiles was so bad for the very last time. The entire team discuss whether or not the supporting characters are all meant to be the same three characters in different roles or not.

 

For those who want to watch along with us, this story is another one that is mostly missing. You can find the narrated audio for Episodes 1-3 as part of the The Lost Episodes: Collection Two  through either Amazon US (https://amzn.to/3BT5dAh) or Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3vlQnzY). The surviving episode, Episode 4, is available in the Lost in Time DVD boxset at both Amazon US (https://amzn.to/3pea8s9) and Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3pmd2em).

Episode 26: George Maharis, Risk Taker (The Ark)

Sunday Feb 09, 2020

Sunday Feb 09, 2020

This week, we discuss a thrilling adventure in which new companion Dodo is suffering from a cold. That’s right – it’s The Ark, a story with some rather uncomfortable undertones.

 

This episode, Anthony talks British colonialism, Reilly makes use of his film degree by praising the direction, Julie explains medical things, and Don talks about the trope of invisible beings with supernatural powers in sci-fi. All four of the cast keep coming back to the question of whether or not this story’s rather racist undertones were by intent or out of ignorance.

 

For those who want to watch along with us, this story is one of the few stories from Season 3 that exists in its entirety! You can find the DVD on either Amazon US (https://amzn.to/3BU70p5) or Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3jcweY8). If you prefer streaming, it’s also available on both Britbox US (http://www.britbox.com) and Britbox UK (http://www.britbox.co.uk)!

Episode 25: I‘m Not a Proctologist, But... (The Massacre)

Sunday Jan 26, 2020

Sunday Jan 26, 2020

With the Doctor and Steven now travelling alone after the events of the Dalek epic, we follow them on their next adventure in a fun romp called The Massacre. Uh, except... maybe it's not a fun romp, with a name like that. 

 

This time around, Julie gets historical, Anthony gets excited about hats, Reilly compares Steven to a lost child looking for his Dad, and Don once again continues his vendetta against John Wiles. The entire crew talk debate whether this story is the missing classic that received fandom wisdom believes it to be.

 

For those who want to watch along with us, this story is sadly missing. You can find the missing episodes on narrated audio in The Lost TV Episodes: Collection Two box set through either Amazon US (https://amzn.to/3BT5dAh) or Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3vlQnzY).

Sunday Jan 12, 2020

Sunday Jan 12, 2020

Having covered the first half of the story in our last episode, we’re back in Bring Back the Corpse of Dennis Spooner to discuss episodes 7 through 12 of The Daleks’ Master Plan! If you missed the first half of our discussion of this story, you can find it in our previous episode, Poppycock and Nonsense.

 

This time around, Don continues his vendetta against John Wiles, Julie pines for more of the Meddling Monk, Reilly wishes for some Dalek situational comedy in the style of The Office, while Anthony expresses his disappointment over the lack of the Evil Christmas Tree delegate. All the while, the entire team continues their debate over which delegate is which.

Episode 23: Poppycock and Nonsense (The Daleks‘ Master Plan - Episodes 1-6)

Sunday Dec 29, 2019

Sunday Dec 29, 2019

This episode, we finally get around to that Dalek epic that was teased a couple of stories back… yes, we’ve finally made it to The Daleks’ Master Plan! Since the televised story was twelve episodes long, it’s going to take us two podcasts to get through. Thus in this episode, Poppycock and Nonsense, we discuss episodes 1 through 6.

 

Along the way, Anthony says “absurdly” an absurd number of times, Julie questions whether the Doctor will actually have any lasting memories of Katarina, Reilly draws some parallels between this story and The Phantom Menace, and Don enthuses over the atmosphere of mistrust in the story. The entire team debate whether it would have been better or worse if it had actually been Vicki that got flushed out of that airlock.

Sunday Dec 15, 2019

Sunday Dec 15, 2019

This episode, we’re off to Asia Minor to watch some Greeks and Trojans do some battling in Season 3’s The Myth Makers. We also find ourselves in the middle of an Invasion of the Dons, with this serial being written by Don Cotton, with Don Tosh as Story Editor, and our very own Don Smith contributing to our conversation!

 

Along the way, Anthony gets his Classics nerd on, Julie talks about The Doctor, Ian, and Steven and their varying abilities to convince as Classical Deities, Reilly espouses his love of the TARDIS wardrobe, and Don is busy just being one of the many Dons that contributed to the making of this episode of the podcast. The entire team find themselves disappointed that the original title for episode 3, “Is There a Doctor in the Horse?” didn’t stick.

Episode 21: Kembel Needs Women (Mission to the Unknown)

Tuesday Dec 03, 2019

Tuesday Dec 03, 2019

It’s time for the Watchers to cover the only Doctor Who story ever to not feature any of the main cast (and the very first standalone episode...ish) – Mission to the Unknown! With this story being another one that’s missing, the team were fortunate to be discussing this one just after the remount hit YouTube.

 

Along the way, Anthony is still blaming Richard Martin for things (even though this is the third story since his final involvement with the show), Julie ponders why the Daleks would lower themselves to an alliance with lesser species, Reilly announces his names for the various delegates (having decided that it’s impossible to tell which one is which from the names alone), and Don laments the incompetence of the "hero" of the episode, Marc Cory. The team wraps up with a hearty discussion on the University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN) remake of the episode.

 

For those who want to watch along with us, you can find the missing episode on narrated audio as part of The Lost TV Episodes: Collection Two through either Amazon US (https://amzn.to/30xJRe5) or Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/2Z1BZk9).

Sunday Nov 17, 2019

Sunday Nov 17, 2019

The Watchers kick off their journey through Season 3 with a robust discussion of everyone’s favourite classic story of the beauty vs. the beast, Galaxy Four! This is the start of an odyssey deep into missing episode land, so be prepared for lots of talk about that over the next few episodes.

 

Along the way, Anthony finds ways to continue to blame Richard Martin for things (even though he was no longer involved with the show), Julie expresses disappointment over the continued grooming of Steven, Reilly compares the Rills to Jabba the Hutt, and Don complains about how Steven acts quite moronically during his time in the air lock. All through the episode, the entire team gets increasingly exasperated at the script (much like the original cast did while filming).

 

For those who want to watch along with us, you can find the missing episode on narrated audio as part of The Lost TV Episodes: Collection One through either Amazon US (https://amzn.to/3DSPBh2) or Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3AUSFY1), while the surviving episode can be found on the special edition DVD of The Aztecs, which can be found through either Amazon US (https://amzn.to/2YWrfni) or Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3voZn7F).

Sunday Nov 03, 2019

Sunday Nov 03, 2019

The Watchers take a side-step into an alternate universe, discussing Dr. Who and the Daleks – the concept’s first venture into colour, and on the big screen!

 

Along the way, Reilly nerds out about film, Julie is disappointed at the sidelining of Barbara, Anthony loses his connection halfway through the recording, and Don relentlessly criticizes this interpretation of the Thals. In the meantime, you get a sneak peak of what a Hammer and Amicus Horror Podcast hosted by Don and Reilly would be like…

Sunday Oct 20, 2019

Having spent the last nine episodes discussing each story of Season 2, the Watchers are back with a special season round-up, discussing their favourite and least favourite things from the season (such as story, director, actors, etc.), and comparing their feelings about stories at the end of the season against how they felt at the time.

 

Along the way, Reilly continues to rave about The Web Planet, Julie coos over Ian & Barbara’s engagement photos, Anthony complains about Richard Martin for the last time, and Don surprises everyone with the revelation that The Crusade wasn’t as bad as everyone thinks he thought it was. The entire team continues to try and find balance in their assessment of the insanity that was The Web Planet.

Sunday Sep 22, 2019

Sunday Sep 22, 2019

This episode, we prepare to bid farewell to three members of the cast and crew, as our heroes jump to several different points in time and space, desperately searching for a plot. That’s right, it can only be Season 2’s The Chase!

Along the way, Reilly proclaims his love for the fourth episode with all of its horror trappings, Julie is enamoured with Ian’s dancing, Anthony reads too much into everything (again), and Don comes to the realisation that most of this story is extremely enjoyable filler. Finally, the entire team questions a lot of the production choices, both in terms of direction and costumes – Richard Martin strikes again!

Sunday Sep 08, 2019

Sunday Sep 08, 2019

This episode, we discuss Season 2’s The Space Museum, in all its tonal inconsistency. Along the way, Reilly is the one who brings up the music for a change, Julie gets mad at Reilly for stealing her words, Anthony reads too much into the story by drawing out themes of apartheid, and Don notes that after encountering Daleks, giant insects, and a multitude of other monsters, this is the episode that seems to make Ian lose it. The entire team find themselves amazed at how much of a great time the Doctor is having through this story (and this season in general).
