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). 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*. Finally, the UCLAN remake can be found on YouTube (https://youtu.be/NW8yk-m5Ig8), as can the “Making Of” featurette (https://youtu.be/jbYq8A_6_dc).

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).

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…

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.

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!

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).

This episode, we return to missing episode land, as we discuss Season 2’s The Crusade, in all its Shakespearean glory as the last “true” historical of the season. As we discuss this story, Reilly finds himself yearning for the Gospel of Barbara, Julie (as usual) enthuses over the costumes and the music, Anthony dusts off his history degree, and Don turns into Reilly for this episode.

At last, we are back from a six-week hiatus, in which Don moved house, Reilly and Julie both got new jobs, and Anthony sat on the couch (trying to shake off the general malaise from watching The Sensorites). On our return, we collectively (except Reilly) give an exasperated sigh as we cover The Sensorites!

Do the TARDIS crew have what it takes to save the Planet Marinus?
They’ll have to think fast and move even faster to complete this quest! The Keys of Marinus are being hunted by the evil Voord tribe of fetishists. It’s up to the Doctor and friends to gather them before they fall into the clutches of Yartek, leader of the Voord, before time runs out. But it won’t be easy. To get to the keys, they’ll have to cross acid seas, survive screaming jungles, avoid bottomless pits, fight off ice soldiers, and a host of cunning traps that only a deranged hermit can devise. It’s another non-stop adventure from the SUPER MARINUS BROS.!
