Talks to Dylan Rees about his choice of The Dalek Invasion of Earth (2/6) · A Hamster With a Blunt Penknife - a Doctor Who Commentary podcast

0:41
Hello, and welcome back to the Doctor Who podcast a hamster
0:44
with a blunt. Penknife, a commentary podcast
0:47
with me, Dylan Reese. Oh, I need Joe.
0:53
There we go. I just, I went a little bit Road
0:54
fair, but that's what you get. If you get me to intro the
0:57
podcast, when you are. So you'll know, people just
0:59
expect me to be truth. Very true.
1:04
So, although watching today, no, we're gonna watch the second
1:08
episode of the Daleks invasion of our Earth which is confusing.
1:11
We called the Dalek Daleks. Yeah, of course.
1:14
We all know the Daleks isn't actually called the Daleks but
1:16
who knows it'll always be the Daleks to me, isn't there an
1:19
episode of the It's called the rescue.
1:21
Yes it's it's all it's all very convoluted isn't even episode of
1:25
the chase called dimensions in time.
1:27
Yes it's an episode of this that's actually called The Tenth
1:31
Planet part for now, that's not true.
1:42
Well let's just go straight in, shall we?
1:46
Yeah, let's do it. I'm ready for this and you
1:49
intro. So I'll count as in in right do
1:53
one, let's go to follow. We're going to see some Dalek
1:58
action and as already discussed, I'm sure is going to be
2:02
extremely well realized it's going to be better than the
2:07
movie. That's what I've heard.
2:09
It's going to be epic stuff. So this was the first episode of
2:12
Doctor Who to ever enter the top 10 of viewing figures.
2:17
I think it was about 12 million people or something.
2:19
What? Nope, just the first time it's
2:21
ever charted. How I've been I've been
2:24
listening to Toby hey those wonderful too much information.
2:30
Jesus Christ. So I listened to his and then
2:32
I've stopped her in mind together and I'll still in the
2:35
nursery. Sometimes he Grace's me with his
2:39
presence on this, you know I'm very honored.
2:42
You're a lucky man and Like there's lots of sort of
2:47
conversation. Oh, so early episodes about
2:48
Doctor Who? Well, we're only gonna give it
2:50
1200 and I'm going to give it a, you know, a run of ten episodes
2:53
or a episodes or something. Honestly, got those people that
2:56
were making those choices. Must be eating, Humble Pie at
2:59
this point. Yeah.
3:02
Yeah, I mean, and this is technically Doctor Who's first
3:04
anniversary. So this the first episode one I
3:08
think was broadcast. It was around November.
3:11
I want to say was November 21st, actually.
3:13
So we're all right. I mean, obviously.
3:15
We want to celebrate it, but it's quite apt, but, you know,
3:18
it's back with this is in the Zeitgeist.
3:21
Now is there, you know, and that this season is just on a run of
3:24
incredible viewing figures. Yeah, it is may just, I mean,
3:28
you're doing the web Planet, well, as we record this your, I
3:32
swear it Peaks, isn't it? Yeah, I think it does for a
3:34
long, long time, like it's about 13, 14 million, something like
3:38
that. Yes, the highest until arcing
3:41
space to, wow. Got like 13 points.
3:45
Ex or something like that. Now, I'm not blaming the Arc of
3:49
the story, the web Planet entirely for the viewing
3:53
figures. Dovetail heading over a cliff
3:55
like that. But boy, oh boy.
3:57
It was massively popular and also hedonic Mania was going a
4:02
bit crazy because this is the first instance, I was in Doctor
4:05
Who of a returning element. Yeah, it's exciting stuff.
4:10
And I can just see why you can see why kids love darling.
4:15
Ex and I tell you what, I've always hated the voices of the
4:17
story, but they are so much more imitatable that for kids than
4:23
say, the Nick Briggs version. Almost not to slight the next
4:25
week. Nick brings version because it's
4:27
great but they're all very light or like you can you can just
4:32
imitate them like that. The ring modulation that they're
4:34
using is barely audible. I think I do because I'm a
4:37
little bit camper than you. What we are their masters all
4:42
that. We camp isn't it?
4:46
And we also get that very hesitant Dalek that goes the
4:50
comes up in a bit worries about to make a speech to everybody
4:52
and he goes up to the microphone because I was mad as I wanted to
4:58
chase, you know, goes 34 minutes.
5:05
Yeah it does. Obviously in the back of
5:07
everyone's mind, you know, after the second world war, the the
5:10
most scary force to conquer the Earth is a lot of Camp Nazis.
5:15
I think the Daleks don't become the Garlic's.
5:18
Probably until Daleks master plan / care of the Daleks.
5:23
Like, I think, at this point, they're still in their infancy,
5:26
you know, there's a moment coming up actually, in the few
5:29
minutes where they kill somebody, and the dalit leader
5:32
just goes kill him. Like that's really scary then
5:37
just like kill him, Robert? Yeah, so does to note, the
5:40
catchphrases aren't quite there. I believe somewhere in this
5:43
story is the first. Right.
5:47
But yeah, like they're not quite people.
5:51
I guess. Even Terry Nation, describes
5:53
them as beings or people or something like that within the
5:57
script and it's just a bit like old people, the writers and the
6:01
producers haven't quite thought about what the dialects actually
6:03
are at this point to make their kind of change and they can
6:06
become a little bit funny at times like they do in the Chase
6:10
and even in this where one of them chats to a mannequin
6:14
briefly Oh, that bit is agonizing.
6:16
It's just so it's being like you you know?
6:20
Because moderation would cut away quick but Richard Moll.
6:23
Yeah, I was there for you know, a couple of minutes.
6:25
Yeah. So the Daleks here are they are
6:30
they feel threatening enough? Hmm.
6:32
But they're not for me, they're not the terrifying thing that
6:36
they will become and effectively.
6:39
There has to be like a page-one rewrite on the darkness, because
6:42
in the Daleks It's kind of like the end of their story, isn't
6:47
it? It's like, they can't leave the
6:49
city for whatever it look like I'm in boy.
6:52
Now, they need the power from the phallic electricity, and
6:56
yeah, to stay in the city and all of that.
6:58
So effectively, they are be re-written to fit into this
7:01
story. Yeah, well, this looks a little
7:03
something for that, in terms of sort of being unique, but as
7:08
like a force, a threatening Force, well, they've thrown
7:13
played makeup missiles on the planet taken out.
7:15
Over lunch people like not many Doctor Who monsters get this far
7:18
today? No, very true.
7:20
And I think this is, this is the first kind of big sci-fi story.
7:25
They do. In terms of love, I would bring
7:27
it back to Earth the threats, like a local threat, and also,
7:31
it's the first time, the doctor I think is the hero that chooses
7:35
to stay, there is like we better.
7:38
We better defeat them, which before that I don't think he
7:41
ever does is just involved in a situation.
7:44
That's they're trying to get out of Sometimes they defeat a body
7:46
on the way was very different from the last time, about the
7:49
Daleks, an external load of bullshit, just because he wanted
7:51
to investigate the see ya. Very true.
7:54
I love you. There's a massive retooling of
7:56
the couch, sorry. Sorry, you say I was just going
7:58
to say very quickly, I love the dark.
8:01
Let's coming down this ramp throughout every episode of this
8:04
just just keep watching us. They always down but has
8:08
reverted size going shit. But over here there He says, you
8:15
know, you poor pathetic creatures to destroy everyone on
8:18
Earth. You have to destroy all living
8:19
matter. We're going to stop you and all
8:21
this is not the first time he's really been written in this
8:24
mold. Yes he is.
8:26
He's very much to hear all of a sudden and this is where the
8:30
show become starts to become a little bit more about the doctor
8:33
even that first season. And I think is really being and
8:37
Barbara story of them trying to get home and being whisked off
8:41
in that absolutely kidnapped and taken into time and space It's a
8:46
Well a kidnapping is 600 is great and gender point where I
8:50
know where they'd been institutionalized was that bit
8:53
in? I think it's the sensor is where
8:54
they start reading out the wiki entry.
8:56
Well we've been to the Aztecs and we popped off with Marco
9:00
Polo and okay, they've settled in just one thing that's really
9:04
annoying about this story is I think the sets are really good.
9:09
Yeah. And I I feel that for as kind of
9:13
tiny budget And a small Studio. They it paints an impressive
9:18
picture and it's the direction that doesn't get into the detail
9:22
of the set because there was a short on minute ago where you
9:25
saw the saucer that sort of painted backdrop of the houses,
9:29
and it felt sort of vast, but now it's all tight shot.
9:32
So you're not seeing anything. Yeah.
9:35
You just doesn't know how to work the studio.
9:36
And as you say, if it was Douglas Campfield or somebody
9:38
else, you would, you will get a very differently.
9:42
Yeah, Christopher Barry would do a great job.
9:43
You can see that little car Dalek in the background there
9:46
and that's kind of unavoidable. But yeah it's so it just it does
9:51
look at that disco darling there.
9:52
What colors are we know? What color?
9:55
That's not like it. I do issue stripy but so I think
9:59
by next week he's completely black but I don't know why it
10:03
was Pride week. That's what it's different
10:05
colors this week. Of course, of course, I think
10:09
there's a really Savvy mood as made in that, we're doing this
10:13
sort of big epic story. Sorry, but there's a lot of
10:16
intimate little stories going on throughout and you've got David,
10:19
you've got Jenny, you've got Dortmund, you've course plan in
10:22
case character or can't remember what it's called that fella that
10:27
failure, but but they separate all these guest characters off
10:32
or pair them off with one of the regulars.
10:34
So, there's all of these different subplots going on and
10:36
we're learning a lot about their character.
10:37
So that's all there is an intimacy to this.
10:40
Yeah, it's telling like the big invalid.
10:43
I think the top three 6 episode length allows for those little
10:47
stories to happen. I love the Jodie, Whittaker era
10:50
and you won't hear me slack it off very much at all, but I
10:53
think sometimes one of the criticisms that can be level,
10:56
there's sometimes you've got four companions, delivering, one
10:58
companions line. And it needs more of like, let's
11:01
separate them all off and do different things.
11:04
But there's an I love the Jody with career as well, good good.
11:08
It's a wonderful, everything and do one of those please.
11:11
Absolutely 100%. I like there were very few
11:13
episodes from that. Run that But I haven't Revisited
11:17
and loved in the market again, middle of this.
11:19
Dalek invasion of Earth commentary.
11:20
I'm going to ask you to do my personal favorite of the entire
11:23
area, because no one's chose me and a lot of demons and Punjab.
11:28
IR K, wonderful? Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
11:31
I'll be there. It's a lovely story.
11:34
Very, very subtle. I actually I'm going to name
11:38
drop here. I went to visit a friend tells
11:40
house the other day, they did you again.
11:44
Please tell him to X1 is extremely handsome.
11:46
And here's my number. Yes, very handsome, man.
11:49
Both of these episodes. That are stunningly.
11:51
Good. Yeah, they are.
11:53
He's anything like a lovely chap.
11:55
May I ask. Why you went to fillet Patel's
11:57
house every day. It was a work related to visit
12:01
Earth. I work in film and television
12:04
and I can't really say much about the project.
12:06
It's not Doctor Who I'm not doing Doctor Who, but
12:08
fortunately. But yes, we it was, it was
12:10
work-related over there for about an hour and very nicely
12:13
was to please. Extremely talented, man.
12:16
In fact, I can make a parallel between this and demons on the
12:19
Punjab because that also tells a very epic story in an extremely
12:23
intimate way as well as it does. It does.
12:26
Possibly slightly more successfully than usually.
12:31
Oh yeah, just beautiful. It is.
12:34
It's a beautiful story. Well, yeah, I'll definitely.
12:37
No, you don't get all the Dan dare excitement in demons on the
12:39
pillow. You don't always think about
12:43
that first Jodie, Whittaker it series.
12:45
That it's episodes like that, it's suddenly pitched for Sunday
12:48
night. It's not a Saturday night
12:50
adventure series anymore. It's like no this is Doctor Who
12:53
for a Sunday night so it's going to be slightly.
12:56
Not think demons absolutely exemplifies that.
12:59
Yeah. 100% like a very polished historical drama.
13:03
Yeah. With a few aliens toning because
13:05
it is Doctor Who but yeah it's a wonderful definitely stuff like
13:09
it takes you away as well which is sort of cerebro, isn't it?
13:12
Yeah, I love it. Takes you away.
13:15
I thought I've seen what that's one of the episodes.
13:18
I've re-watched. The most, I think.
13:21
Maybe we'll do a double Bill effect on there.
13:24
What did L say something that the loads are now like?
13:28
Oh, so there's a whole sequence here in a minute, where will
13:31
your heart of an escape from this cell and we go for this Old
13:34
Log T? You've been with the ring away
13:36
and tactics? Yeah well Terry Nation loves a
13:39
magnet but again, I think it's that thing of it's a scientific
13:44
process. Is that kids could understand
13:47
and it's still that educational remit of the show.
13:51
So I kind of see why he throws in static electricity and
13:55
magnets and things like that because it is that's what it's
13:57
easy for a kid to get in a way that along learned technobabble
14:01
necessarily wouldn't be I just think like you're talking about
14:05
kids there, I think this is so G.
14:08
It's like might be such an obvious idea, the Dalek invasion
14:11
above. Yeah, looking back now, but the
14:14
diner For massively popular, in that first story.
14:17
What is the most exciting thing you can do with?
14:20
And of course, bring them to us. It's just brilliant.
14:24
I think. No wonder those.
14:25
You figures shot up. I bet those darn.
14:27
It suits were in hot demand. Would you say this one out in
14:29
November? Yeah.
14:30
Yeah. Of course, those fabulous PV
14:33
suits. You know?
14:35
Yeah. I'd like to get one myself one
14:37
day. They're a bit pricey.
14:40
I'm trying to get some points. I'm going to buy a full-size
14:43
Dalek up and I For years and having this in it completely
14:49
non-threatening way. Yeah.
14:51
But do you mind if I play with your Dalek?
14:53
Absolutely, she's over and play with my darling.
14:57
Anytime one of my friends has got one of the day of the Daleks
15:05
and it's just beautiful. I'd like one of the nude, the
15:07
bronze ones for the new series. I think I actually want a movie
15:11
10. Yes.
15:13
Or what? The movie ones in the new series
15:17
ones are the most expensive. You can get a dago whittling
15:19
down there, whizzing down the ramp here and there's that shot.
15:22
I was telling you about there. Looking at the camera is very
15:24
high in the studio. Yeah, it's apparently they were
15:27
pretty sort of they were bit like Daleks those camera.
15:29
Yeah. I mean, look at the depth there.
15:33
Can you see the row houses? Yeah, that looks really really
15:37
nice. And then and then you're on the
15:38
same set a few minutes earlier and a few minutes later and it
15:41
looks like they're shooting in a Cupboard.
15:44
They were what are you talking about?
15:47
You just saw a woman just come in to shop there.
15:49
They get like batters. Yeah, it's a pretty.
15:55
I love this whole little explanation of the Daleks
15:59
invasion and they cut between the On the sorcerer that little
16:03
flashback. And then there's also the stuff
16:05
with Susan and Barbara learning about it.
16:07
Like, again, it's really well, sort of written by Terry Nation.
16:10
You know, I've got to get this Exposition here but I don't want
16:13
to just be focused on one person.
16:15
For the whole time, there are absolutely ways to deliver
16:19
Exposition out there and some writers have it and some
16:22
writers, don't Glen McCoy, I'll be rude.
16:27
You know I you know the die scheme here is to Pilot the
16:31
planet. Oh yeah.
16:32
Now two other writers. Nicholas Briggs and Rusty.
16:36
Davis have also nabbed this idea and both refer to this.
16:42
So into the death, in Big finish's, Run, Nick Briggs says
16:48
that they were trying to turn the earth into a plague Planet
16:51
which would roam the universe and I think that's a big scary
16:55
idea. It is surprisingly good for Neil
16:58
site. Whereas Rusty Davis suggestive.
17:01
How of a gigantic super weapon like the Earth was wanted to
17:06
create this thing that's going to destroy every single particle
17:09
in the universe or something. It's an absolutely Bonkers idea.
17:13
I love it again. You don't get that on other
17:17
shows because other shows take themselves far too seriously.
17:20
But doctor who goes, no, they want to Planet fucking Earth,
17:23
and for what? For what?
17:25
But they sure like, a camera and Julian bleach, his face and say,
17:28
right? It's a nice feature, I this
17:30
batshit Crazy speech people that's and stars crates.
17:37
Not, what do you think of these guest characters end of
17:40
Dortmund? Jenny, I think it's Tyler, isn't
17:45
it? That's a Tyler that's it.
17:47
So again, I kind of just associate them with the movie
17:51
version and missile was feels like a bit of a limitation for
17:55
me. However, Jenny isn't in the
17:58
movie version? I don't think.
17:59
Yeah, I think she's by Fall the most interesting one because
18:03
she's got that same later on where Dortmund goes, you know,
18:07
dogs, she deals with it in their own way.
18:09
She's obviously just been through some really traumatic
18:11
shit because of what's happened? So, of course, she's cold and
18:14
calloused, and we either get the backstory, those two.
18:17
And I, obviously, like, she's traumatized because of what's
18:19
happened. Yeah, we find out much about
18:22
her. I don't think we do.
18:24
No, I don't think, I think you're right.
18:26
And well, when we get that spin-off series, I'm sure we'll
18:29
find out all about that. What?
18:31
Jenny not the doctor's daughter. Yeah, exactly.
18:37
There's a wonderful story on the documentary of Jaclyn Hill and
18:41
oh good, grief and Davies. That's a name, isn't it?
18:43
Jay meeting in this and they were lifelong friends after this
18:47
and it is now yeah, it turns out about 10 years later, Jaclyn
18:52
Hill. And Alvin rakoff husband moved
18:56
into the same street as our Davis and her husband, Richard
18:59
briers And they were just died in together all the time, and
19:05
like after they quit acting, I think Ann Davis and Jaclyn Hill,
19:08
did like open University together and stuff like that.
19:11
Friends, right up until Jacqueline Hill died.
19:14
There's a few stories like that of people meeting in Doctor Who?
19:20
Yeah. I mean, I'd like to go to one of
19:21
my dinner party sounds like a laugh.
19:24
I think. But conversely like I'm sure.
19:27
William Russell said, that you never heard from Jacqueline Hill
19:30
again or something like that. Really I could but I could be
19:33
wrong but I feel like the maybe we'll find out more in the
19:37
season to Blu-ray boxset interview with William Russell.
19:40
But I swear he said, you never really heard from her again
19:43
afterwards, which is a shame. What, a basin tasty, tidbits in
19:47
the 500 hours of bonus material on your race here.
19:51
I live for that stuff you know and me too me too.
19:54
I'm a bit worried about the William Russell interview just
19:57
because they showed some clips from.
19:58
It seems shaky, doesn't it? You know, he's old and obviously
20:03
that that that that's what happens, but it's just it's just
20:06
quite sad. When you see people like I'm
20:08
very lucky that. I've still got a grandparent
20:11
who's probably about the same age and hit my granddad.
20:13
He's ever seen with, you know, you just don't get a lot of here
20:17
and sort of sentences out of anymore.
20:20
And I just it's just a bit sad. When you see someone like
20:24
William Russell, who's had an amazing career and he gives
20:27
interviews with them, are always fantastic.
20:29
And it's yeah, but it don't It'll be nice to see it and
20:32
maybe we'll get a couple more Revelations st.
20:35
Matthew sweet as such a brilliant job on those entities
20:38
because he manages to talk to them I think he's done things
20:43
like 80 Manning as he Nicola Bryant and he knows all of the
20:47
usual anecdotes these are heat survivors away from all of that
20:50
and just digs a little deeper, he managed to get a new
20:54
anecdotes and do things out of Tom Baker, which I thought
20:57
nobody ever do it even. Just like I remember he asked
21:01
Tom He's talking about the Builder in working on the
21:03
building Society building site and you expect the same old
21:06
story and Matthew sweets just goes.
21:09
But how did that make you feel? So, rather than, yeah, this
21:13
situation, like how did it? How does it feel to be that
21:16
person doing that? And so Tom's answering the same
21:19
questions that he's always got in a different way.
21:21
Almost done. He's just a fantastic
21:23
interviewer, I think it's really the balls.
21:25
He had to get Michael grade on and that was a brilliant
21:30
interview. Like I thought I don't like my
21:32
gray very much. I'm we like the TV, these crazy
21:34
things like that, but I love the interview.
21:36
I learned so much straight. It was, it was great.
21:39
I'll and even, I mean, he almost gets a, he almost gets Katie
21:45
Manning to say that Nichols, Courtney was bisexual, but then
21:48
she's not a position. I didn't realize that until she
21:51
said that, yeah, about him struggling with his sexuality
21:55
and she kind of says something and then darts over it, but it's
21:58
just a little nugget of somebody's life that you did.
22:01
You didn't normally guess it's Percy.
22:04
Why we love private into the personal lives of life is
22:09
scandalous Times of John nathan-turner?
22:11
Why can't I read that about a day?
22:12
Is a massive. Yeah, I know exactly the same.
22:16
I remember, getting at the time and all my friends were like,
22:20
oh, you. What's that book about?
22:22
I was like, it's carpeted to put it down.
22:24
As like I said about the final producer of classic Doctor Who
22:27
there like that sounds so boring.
22:28
I mean, if you read this, you blow I'm through it, as quickly
22:32
as I am. Aren't you going to sleep today?
22:34
No, I'm too. Busy learning gossip about John
22:35
nathan-turner. Leave me alone.
22:37
You know, this is Juicy stuff for my podcast.
22:40
Come on. It's a fantastic book.
22:42
I do like the documentary that was on the Blu-rays about him,
22:45
but it was, It Shine over some of the less controversial
22:50
Elements, which is fine, because sometimes you want to celebrate
22:53
someone's life without having to go into the more salacious B.
22:56
I think we're Jonathan Turner way off base, but who cares?
22:59
This is interesting with Jonathan Turner.
23:01
Um, I think if you listen to the big finish Memoirs that he did,
23:05
and that's mostly production detail.
23:07
But really interesting, you read the skander's Times book, which
23:10
is his personal life. And that's pretty toxic, and
23:13
absolutely fascinating. And then what was the other one?
23:16
You just said, the yeah, the documentary.
23:20
Chris Chapman is it? Yeah.
23:21
And I think that paints a really good story of how his career was
23:24
on the rise. He took on Doctor Who and then
23:27
it kind of crashed and burned. So as a whole All those three
23:31
things that really paints a vivid picture.
23:34
It's a shame that we never got him to, you know, obviously some
23:38
very shame that he didn't live longer.
23:40
But they're perhaps he never got to tell his story as he would
23:43
have liked to have told this because his Memoirs are very
23:47
they're not very salacious at all.
23:48
Considering the sort of person he was Loose.
23:50
As you say it's all very production heavy but he's not
23:53
really. I mean that was in Doctor Who
23:54
magazine is all going to sit there typing?
23:56
Well and this Doctor Who fan was there and I whispered in his ear
23:59
you ever had to inside you Although there was a, there was
24:06
another example, there of pretty shoddy Direction in that, it's
24:10
got a fantastic idea. You've got the spotlight in the
24:12
darkness as picking it up Onyx, and it could kind of be really
24:16
nightmarish if that was well. But it looks like just a
24:20
stationary camera and a light just shooting around the Sith.
24:23
Yeah. And it keeps going onto the
24:25
cardboard, Dalek, that they've got to bolt the numbers after
24:27
this, like, you can do some really interesting stuff where
24:29
you make it so dark, you can reuse.
24:31
As the same Daleks again and again but it just it just
24:34
doesn't quite work. There's a moment we get an
24:37
earlier on oh there's another dialect going down the ramp
24:41
earlier on that. I think we might have missed of
24:43
them going to robotize the doctor and one of the Daleks
24:46
just goes, okay, here's coat off and I just thought why can't,
24:49
why can't Robo men be robitaille's with their coats
24:52
on? It's just a very obvious like
24:56
they just make the coast bloody hideous.
25:01
What do you wanna be a man handed on that table?
25:03
I want on Earth is going on here, huh.
25:07
It's flat-out these sets as well.
25:10
The bishop says they feel quite big they do and they've got to
25:14
tears. So I think it's remade missed
25:16
it. But there are some point you see
25:17
somebody on top level and the Daleks lower down like they're
25:20
really going for it, which it looks like just think like thing
25:24
about the duration of the Crusade later on in the season
25:27
to remember the sequence where salad Dean is that Banner case
25:32
character? Yeah, it's first revealed
25:35
listening and the camera comes for a Quran and he's in the half
25:39
dark and there's action going on behind him and it's so
25:42
skillfully put together. I think to myself man.
25:45
If someone that was in here this one you know?
25:48
And I think this is good. Yeah.
25:50
Could be exceptionally good. It could.
25:53
It could in fact we we know we've seen the better version
25:55
already on the move at a movie. Yeah, sure.
25:58
Favourite bit of that movie. I mean I like the B.
26:04
I think it's a couple bits probably the bit where the
26:07
Tardis gets like all the rubble falls on it.
26:11
Like that version is just so much better.
26:14
I do like the scene in the mood, the robo men and like they're
26:17
eating the food, and Bernard cribbins, just being very
26:20
slapstick about it all. To help me.
26:22
I love it's a bit where Philip magic tricks l'm and then he's
26:28
like, ya told you they'd be it and I analyze darlie's around
26:31
that At and I blow the shit out of it than they have the black.
26:42
Again, whilst I head back to Twitter questions, the wonderful
26:47
Jack. Koya would like to know what
26:49
other cities are national landmarks.
26:51
Would you like to see the Daleks patrolling through?
26:54
Oh, that's interesting. I mean, I just like to see them
26:59
like damn, my local Tesco's or something like that.
27:01
Nice to see you normal. No more places, just that Dad
27:05
and I all there otherwise. You know, I probably don't look
27:09
like this has been done now. That's how early would be being
27:11
Darwin. It hate, make it not only
27:13
domestic. Yeah, on the streets of Soho,
27:16
you know, maybe in the sort of 60s, and 70s visiting various
27:20
sex clubs and sex shops and things like that.
27:22
Maybe we just do. Let's go shopping, I think so.
27:26
Yeah. For a little handbag, you know,
27:31
all of time, and space pod casts would like to know.
27:35
Honestly, people are trying to be very busy with these
27:37
Questions, who would win in a clash of the booth bonds between
27:40
David Campbell? And Steven, Taylor are Steven
27:43
Taylor and he any day, he's got a much better wig and I feel
27:48
like, you know, his hair. Just it says, just solid and
27:51
stays there the whole time throughout time and space, he's
27:53
got so much volume. It's like his Hamilton, a power,
27:56
some here in it. Okay, one last one then for this
28:02
episode. David, brynnie asked that
28:04
episode 1 Cliffhanger what on Earth.
28:07
You think that Dalek has been doing under that will walk?
28:11
You know what I saw that? And I thought, well, he's
28:14
probably just crossing from the other side, you know, that's
28:17
what I thought. Yeah.
28:17
He's just, he's just gonna cross the river.
28:19
Yeah. If I could, I live on the River
28:21
Thames, and if I could get to the other side by walking
28:24
underneath, I absolutely bloody would, but it's not to be.
28:28
So the Daleks I've got a lot because they're better than us.
28:31
This happiness, Water Taxis. Don't know.
28:32
They can go straight in, right? Yeah, they do.
28:35
But they don't, they don't float around the bit where Where I am.
28:38
It's very disappointing. Oh really?
28:40
Yeah, that's where you are there but then everyone would know
28:42
where you live. And well, I mean I'm not gonna
28:44
give my full address and its parts of the talents of when
28:57
triangle filmed here many years ago.
28:59
So I live about five minutes away from Professor Lightfoot
29:02
spouse and the opening bit where they pulled the body out of the
29:06
river and is you go That'll make it all sick.
29:08
That word here is government will not serve that with onions.
29:14
That's it. You don't, you don't live round
29:17
where they did that entire Terry Nations Army video.
29:20
Do you round there? No.
29:22
It's so it's, there's various points along along the river
29:27
that all of them reasonably walkable from mine, but I think
29:30
that's obviously the other side. So, it's unfortunately, when I
29:34
watched that video, I was like, I'm going to see my house and
29:36
the answer is no. No.
29:37
Also I live in kind of a newer build further down the road,
29:40
rather than the lovely Victorian houses which warehouses that are
29:46
very, very expensive. Well you've kind of been very
29:50
specific whilst not being specific at all for people can
29:54
sort of throw the fan mail in that general direction.
29:56
Yeah, they should. Look at it.
29:58
They could probably find my local by easily from from what
30:01
I've just said. Leave it there then folks, but
30:04
you and I are heading into the Day of Reckoning.
30:07
Hang on. Wait, you ready to face this?
30:10
I'm ready to face this. Let's do it.
