Welcome back to hamster with a blunt, penknife questions, and
0:05
answers the 1970s. Did it did it did it did it did
0:13
it, did it, did it, did it? Do not know I was going to sing.
0:18
That's that was afraid. I was petrified.
0:22
Kept every might sound a bit echoey because I'm in a hotel
0:25
room in London, okay, everybody before we start, but they're out
0:28
there. Do you know what that is?
0:29
Why why we're here in London, huh?
0:32
It's your birthday for my party and I'll cry if I want to.
0:37
It was 80's and I anyway, what a fabulous day.
0:40
I want to saw some real Real live living dinosaurs.
0:43
Well, the one that a lot of, you know, they're from 1854.
0:49
Yes. Well, remembered Crystal Palace
0:51
Gardens at the site of the great exhibition of Crystal Palace
0:56
which is no longer there. No.
0:57
Sadly I don't know was it? Therefore I think it burned down
1:01
in the 30s I'll really yeah it was there for a little while.
1:05
I think so. Anyway we walk around that
1:07
fucking park for about an hour and a half with not going.
1:10
Yeah, I recognize Spare install. This also just around the
1:13
corner. It's a bigger part than
1:14
anything. And this listen to this, right?
1:17
We went into this bloody Cafe and when you come out of the
1:21
cafe, the dinosaurs are right behind.
1:23
You know, like that. Yeah, we went in the other
1:30
direction. I won't run the whole fucking
1:32
POG to find them again. What we found at all.
1:34
So when know you've gotta be fucking kidding me.
1:36
That Cafe is just there. Look anyway.
1:39
Anyway, I'll see you soon. Questions for the 70s.
1:43
That's right. And thank you everybody for
1:45
sending in your fabulous questions, we've had a meteoric
1:48
response this time around. You sent these to me to read out
1:52
so well you got to have your input as well and I fire them at
1:54
you fire at me. Yeah.
1:58
Okay. Number one is from Rod.
2:02
Who rad whoo-hoo, Rod is righto. Who indeed are you wrote?
2:09
Who is handsome? So I can't see any pictures of
2:13
I'm just assuming he is. Okay, so the 70s boasts.
2:17
So many strong female companions.
2:19
Yes, it does. But who works the best from the
2:22
perspective of one, the writing and to the performance and he's
2:28
put hint with a big picture of Sarah Jane there.
2:32
Okay, okay. Well, let's go through this one
2:34
by one in writing the writing. I think it's a 22, a win.
2:40
Right Lee show, because I think she's very, she's given a very
2:45
strong role in all of her stories and Ramon are to who is
2:50
practically the doctor. But the time she leaves the
2:52
series. Yeah, I think you're right in
2:54
terms of the writing. Yeah, I think all maybe a
2:59
reminder one as well. You think Ramona one?
3:02
Yeah. Well I don't know.
3:03
She seems a bit bored sometimes. Just look at the writing.
3:10
Oh, okay. Yeah, that's true.
3:11
That's right now. White power crawl or that but in
3:15
the blood he'll be sort of like he's generous and a good strong
3:30
in terms of performance compared to what's written.
3:33
But she wasn't around for three and a half Seasons, like,
3:35
Elizabeth sladen. And she embedded into our
3:38
hearts, didn't she? She did Okay.
3:45
Anyway. Okay now huge world who feel
3:47
question next is Daniel rawnsley Daniel rossen.
3:52
Frawls, you know, is he house in France?
3:54
Daniel Dozier come so far. We have a mercy.
3:59
What is the single best Target novel adaptation.
4:02
Third and fourth up to story. Oh, don't tell Jason Miller,
4:06
this but I haven't actually read too many targets.
4:09
I have the entire collection but I don't remember reading many, I
4:13
think all the Malcolm hot ones I've read and they're really
4:17
fantastic. Maybe the Doomsday weapon which
4:21
takes what is a? Let's say, an average television
4:25
serial, and it gives it a lot of depth.
4:28
There's a whole sequence where Malcolm Hulk Paints the picture
4:33
of what it's like in there, IMC future.
4:36
I don't know there's an artist. I've gotta say, Charles what do
4:39
you thinks the best Target? I know, I don't really know.
4:42
Don't forget your old job. I like the targets that change
4:52
the TV stories of most. I think that use that
4:53
opportunity to expand. Okay.
4:56
It's not like I've read them all though so I can't really say
4:58
what ones? Have you read it?
4:59
I can't remember. Definitely do not Point Jason.
5:04
Better than this podcast Direction, please.
5:06
So, what was your final answer? The Doomsday weapon, right?
5:11
Tom Newsome, Tom, you see some, who's your favorite double Act?
5:17
Robert Holmes written or otherwise.
5:20
Oh, that's a toughie gyro. I think he might be, everyone's
5:24
gonna say J Gordon Lightfoot. I love Garrett and unstuff.
5:27
I'll I'm stuff. Is there nobody, you can trust
5:30
these days. He's very dead.
5:33

5:36

5:50

5:54
It'll be a new experience for, you know, it's just nice and
5:58
cozy. Yeah.
5:58
They do work really well. Ones like an evil alien though
6:01

6:05

6:29

6:52
of the 70s. She's Charles.
6:55
Oh no, she was acting in the 70s, which was Angels.

Yeah, bringing child and you can't just throw you out.
7:04
Massive compliment. Okay, next up Chris hookman.
7:10

7:36
Etc, Sarah, Harry. Lila in your personal opinion.
7:39
What episode is your favorite? And which companion works best
7:42
with Tom, what individual episodes or story?
7:46
What? So I think he means Easter in
7:48
this era to on I said, Oh, you mean story?
7:52
Okay, well, I'm going to say the best individual episode is
7:57
Genesis of the Daleks episode 6. Why?
8:01
Why? Because it culminates in that
8:04
have pity. You are insane.
8:09
It's brilliant. Isn't it pretty?
8:11
I have no understanding of the word.
8:13
It is not in my vocabulary Bank, amazing.
8:17
Andromeda episode. Well, thank you.
8:19
That's exactly what we wanted to do.
8:21
And everybody, sorry, just as a quick Divergence, please, what
8:25
was it called? I can't remember.
8:27
No, the, the wrong doctors. The one that something like
8:30
that. It's okay.
8:32
Aunty. Gary down is sketch.
8:35
Its Heritage, especially when you things from the 80s.
8:38
Oh my God, that's so funny. There's a bit where Fifi and
8:42
Kano and have a dog race and Fifi goes rather than off and
8:46
canines. The best of Because again our
8:47
okay, bye. We can't tell you what it's from
8:52
or where you can get it from. Let's maybe forget and which
8:56
companion works. Best with Tom, what do you
8:58
think? A slave.
9:01
It is all out of wood. Why I fucking will marry Tom,
9:08
they were fucking shell, her husband.
9:11
I think actually is quite successful with everyone apart
9:13
from maybe not as much. But Lila what initial is they
9:19
will just Anderson is melting. Really, really loud?
9:22
And then something happened in season 15 way or went a bit
9:24
wrong season 18 Lala or with us one of those.
9:28
Some days they were fucking other days they weren't.
9:30
And that's what you know the chemistry changes basically is.
9:35
Yeah, I think it wouldn't. Can I just say I think he's got
9:38
great chemistry. Revere Malta?
9:40
Yeah, both of them beginning. Yeah, he's very different actor
9:44
at the beginning than at the end as well.
9:46
So you know by the time he's like not even like Sarah Sarah
9:50
and Janet Fielding a like not even anything to him.
9:54
By the end of the day they're just like these extras.
9:57
Whereas when I keep standing next to me all the time, John
9:59
nathan-turner came and he kept surrounded me with all these
10:01
kids know what's going on. I had to put the stick, these
10:06
stupid things, like question marks on my collar and things
10:08
like this. So we clashed you know because
10:11
sometimes I like up it up, professional tension.
10:15
You know, I don't I literally think he just ignored them
10:19
cinnamon those clips, they gotta lie.
10:20
They were literally just moving props to Hillary's.
10:22
Told, can you beckon The Watcher?
10:25
And he goes back on, I don't like a back on.
10:30
He's just like get me out of here for that by look awfully
10:33
although you were one of them. We've had my whichever that
10:36
lasts a so you got all them around and then you've got
10:38
Christian rage. Big feet, isn't this a wonderful
10:44
line that I've written for Utah? He came down guy in soda lines
10:48
in the script so my wonderful life that I just think it's so
10:51
amazing. It's Jonathan Turner side.
10:53
Cut the jokes Tom's. Right.
10:55
I'm out of here. Last year.
11:00
Absolutely. Will place on that floor.
11:06
Thank you. You can see its predecessors.
11:10
Black only what are we? That's the a if we're talking
11:20
about the 80s again. Oh, come on, let's talk about
11:25
Jon Pertwee. Anyone got any questions about
11:26
per week? I'm just going through an order
11:28
what you sent me? Okay, Greg Miller.
11:31
Okay, it's Greg. Hello resolved.
11:34
The unit dating problem. Oh, God, bonus points.
11:38
If you avoid using Joe, Mike and Paladin in the solution.
11:41
What does that mean? Jeremiah can Peloton, well,
11:45
they're gonna know. Oh yeah.
11:47
Okay, absolutely disputes that there was any day and going on
11:55
between Joe and Mike no matter how much richer Franklin tries
11:57
to look for Lily, always with when they say well I was brought
12:01
in to be Jo G boyfriends. Okay your majesty.
12:05

about my gaze and she goes oh no no no no I'm Chris Jericho and
12:30
girls Poor old like hey let's run her lilies.
12:35
I was sick, that's just a father.
12:37
All right I did just take away 60% of what I'm saying.
12:42
Okay. So what was basically yeah what
12:44
is the when his unit set doesn't matter, I think we're all fine
12:49
to call it the near future until Miss Sarah Jane Smith said I'm
12:53
from 1980 in pyramids of Mars then that for it all into whack
12:58
away because then in motion Undead, Teagan goes back to 1977
13:03
and the brigadier's already left.
13:04
Unit will Sarah Jane Smith if she is from 1980.
13:09
He still in unit them to none of, it makes any sense.
13:13
Has anybody worked on the time? Worry is set.
13:15
Then why'd you have to add extra complications?
13:19
Well, this is your thing chronology to figure out how in.
13:22
Well it does either the amount of so if you need to put a date
13:26
on it. Well, I'm astonished a lot of
13:28
the mass and the only building an entire jigsaw puzzle fiction.
13:31
Stories usual answer. She's been traveling the doctor
13:37
for like So say it was like 1977 when she met the doctor in the
13:41
time Warrior. I'll bet she thinks.
13:42
It's 1980 now keeping time. Fuck me.
13:46

You've sheets. We just solved it.
14:01
Your soul. Dave, don't ever have said this

14:06
long with him that it is the 80s.
14:08
To her. You heard it here first to Ike's
14:11
welled up whatever you have read that question.
14:14
I thought there's no way we're going to solve that and we have
14:18
okay. Oh I know why can I never read
14:21
everyone's names right Club. John been Salah.
14:26
A lot of saliva. No Jon Benson Alia been, sorry
14:31
I'm sorry you got it right? The second time you said it and
14:35

14:45
And you got Barry. Letts I have done.
14:47
What's up? Barry Letts in the country while
14:48
my cousin. Well, it's full of facts as me.
14:51
I think he remembers it pin-sharp.
14:53
Yeah, but also, as well, it calls out, Katie Maddie all the
14:56
time for telling Fierce Katie, are you sure I seem to remember,
14:59
you coming into your audition wearing those of Rings or no,
15:02
no, I wore Rings because I didn't want to bite my nails and
15:05
John told me there is like. Well, that's Move on, shall we?
15:09
I'm very, let's your Katie moaning.
15:13
You're always calling me out. Yeah.
15:17
There's all these fruity stories to my friends and he's there
15:20
next to me again. It didn't happen like that at
15:22
all. I'm gonna fuck say can you not
15:25
let me be a bit Terrance? Dicks.
15:26

15:28
We don't let it get in the way of the truth of a good adding
15:31
do. Oh love.
15:32
Very, let's always talking common sense.
15:34
That's what I like about him. He wore powers on you, collect
15:38
All power relays. The fact I'm Terrance dicks and
15:40
Katie moaning. I'm the size of Terror sticks
15:43
change, okay. Gavin Lucan, hello, Gavin Lucan.
15:50
He's got two questions or casts greedy prick.
15:53
One number one, could most Pertwee 67, parters be improved
15:58
by making them for parters. I had this conversation with her
16:02
behavior recently. We said, well, probably, but you
16:05
won't want to lose anything because I think all the Tyrion
16:08
silurians are bastards are deaf and Inferno is fabulous.
16:12
I think if you watched it in real-time, as in one episode a
16:16
week they wouldn't seem as repetitive or as slow is because
16:22
we binge them all and that's when we get they're designed
16:26
they are. I think they're designed for
16:28
seven weeks, maybe two months for one story, you know?
16:31
But you just watching Doctor Who every week, it doesn't matter.
16:33
It's like watching an episode of anything else.
16:36
Just once a week. I don't, I think Ink.
16:39
You get invested in the story over those weeks and I don't
16:42
think, I think it's different nowadays where we watch it.
16:44
She has a problem. I think they have a big problem
16:47
with a six-part has in that they don't add enough of an extra
16:51
element to make a six but weirdly enough, when they do the
16:54
seven Potter's each of those stories you get the plague
16:57
towards the end of silurians. You get the doctor going into
17:01
space in ambassador's of death and then you get the whole
17:04
alternative Universe thing in Inferno.
17:06
They had a whole extra element to make those seven episodes
17:09
last. Last mmm.
17:10
So yeah. So could they be improved by
17:13
making them fall? No, no, no.
17:16
I think they're I think for once the extra leg is Justified plus
17:20
you got a ton of character stuff as well and his second question.
17:24
Okay, Kevin Sharda showed up beat you cock, its reputation,
17:31
built around being unfinished lost rather than actually being
17:35
good. I just want to say I'm not being
17:37
anyone's cock right now, okay? Sorry so is his reputation built
17:44
around being unfinished lost rather than actually being good.
17:47
Oh, I had this conversation about Valentine.
17:49
Hey, well we did say the shorter sort of monumental reputation
17:55
was primarily down to the fact that it is incomplete and it's
17:59
not like the missing stories of the 60s because they could
18:04
return. We potentially could see them
18:08
wear a shorter was. Never finished.
18:10
So it will forever be a mystery. What that would have been like.
18:15
So I think that's really enticing.
18:16
I think it's a fabulous story anyway.
18:18
I like it. And therefore have a high
18:21
reputation because I like the look of the film stuff, though,
18:25
I like the non missing stuff. If that wasn't as filmed as well
18:29
and it wasn't all the locations stuff that set of the Cambridge.
18:32
Of course, if I notice his study and stuff, if that didn't look
18:35
great, then I don't think it would have survived rotational.
18:39
Turning our front room into credits is stunning on a lot of
18:42
different crows Globe. He's got in there and scones and
18:48
all those books, one lump or two, just sugar one, lump or
18:56
two. Just like 102 102 sugar?
19:00
No fuck's sake. Oh my God I can't believe you
19:05
all know. I was talking about Joe like a
19:08
stone of god-given Luke and again it's not another tweet
19:12
underneath say it. He's giving his time and energy
19:15
that was like okay Gavin thank you very much for your question
19:19
which is why I appreciate it, which is the more lethal martial
19:23
art venusian Aikido Icky Thump. He's hump.
19:28
What's up wacky? So that's what are.
19:33
Its wartime says it. Thank you very much boys.
19:37
The doctor goes Iris while Tom I want to work with you.
19:40
She goes well excuse me. Obviously it's Phoenician
19:45
Aikido, isn't it? Yeah, what you think is the best
19:48
example of the venusian Aikido in the 70s now come on and I
19:52
need you to do your best. Jon Pertwee to answer this
19:53
question. I think it's well no actually
20:04
no. I know what it is.
20:05
We're just actors. You know this is not embedded in
20:09
here. Really?
20:10
You know it's like to watch on TV.
20:12
I mean we just act it's up to you.
20:15
The audience was very well to actually think about the thing.
20:22
Well because he doesn't care, we were stacking Levine and Richard
20:32
Franklin token and a member of the audience asked a question
20:36
about the characters. And your Bowie literally went
20:39
into a rage about how he's an actor and he doesn't give a shit
20:43
that just the part. Are you playing that Eddie
20:45
forgets about it? What are you watching?
20:48
I love you to pieces. But if you forgot about the fact
20:50
that you're playing the doctor, you certainly got a lot of
20:52
convention appearances that you certainly took the check acting
20:58
gigs. Him go to these conferences
21:00
comfortable, wonderful conferences and I've been going
21:02
to Star Trek conventions, as well, you know, and also, can I
21:06
just say anybody can, this is sort of tied into the 70s, just
21:09
type in to YouTube job /. We interviews William Shatner
21:14
because he can't, because he goes to William Shatner.
21:17
Obviously, we're both cold Heroes.
21:19
You know, we're both cult classics and William Shatner's.
21:23
Look at it. And what?
21:24
Who are you? Yeah, I don't really use that.
21:28
Fabulous. Just go finders, can you can you
21:30
do any other work? I mean I've made a great success
21:32
of words with garbage afterwards.
21:34
So obviously how it's very tough isn't it?
21:36
You know sorry about five minutes of your time but I
21:39
promise you is priceless. Oh it's Chris open again.
21:44
Hadn't Chris my perch. We question is a bit harder.
21:47
I'll go up. If you had to write a final
21:50
story for apparently which are used to panic the spiders, or
21:54
would you choose to end his tenure with any other who story
21:57
and why? So Kaiser and razani or time and
22:00
the Rani Etc. I always worry about difficult
22:04
just one. Well, yeah, I think that's what
22:07
you're saying. Would you would you give him a
22:09
different one? I think I would have given him
22:11
the Roger Delgado story. I feel like Virgin of God, oh,
22:14
shit. By all accounts should have been
22:16
there for that last story. What was it called the final
22:20
game or something like that? The final traps?
22:22
Yeah, I love planners spiders. Do you do?
22:26
It would have been good to have the master in his last story
22:28
makes it would make more sense, wouldn't it?
22:31
Yeah. It's just a big spider.
22:32
Huh, but I do their gray though, aren't they?
22:35
That up, there's something on your back.
22:39
I mean, what's he say about a mandala?
22:41
Get off that mandala mandala or Bobby Bobby.
22:47
Oh yeah. It would be better to have the
22:49
master told he could have still at the spiders in them together
22:53
or something would have been Lupton, wouldn't they?
22:57
That's what the master. Yeah, already be dressed up as
23:01
the Monk. Doing a bit of a ainley Time,
23:06
flight situation, where he's golfing the monk instead?
23:09
No, I mean Delgado remember, no there and do that with it.
23:28
People will think I'm mad. I would not swap out of that
23:31
chasing episode. 02 on location for anything.
23:34
It's a bit silly. I love it.
23:35
When it goes over the Tramp like you went about in the police
23:39
car. Chubby oats goes, this is name
23:41
is comedian. Chubby hose goes.
23:43
I've Just Seen A yellow road, so go down the road followed by
23:48
followed by Ur, a hover car. I love it but imagine John
23:54
Pertwee in caves of androzani. Hey, hey.
24:05
I see the professor jackets. Got it right.
24:11
I mean he's intense enough. He could pull it off.
24:14
He does the drama really well. I can see him.
24:16
Just like in that shit with that face.
24:18
All joking aside I think poetry is a brilliant, dramatic, actor
24:23
and bizarrely playing against I because he's known for his
24:27
comedy and he's so serious as I know who his we used.
24:30
Very Charming moments as well. I need the milk of the queen but
24:35
I've been. No kidding, come on, but shows.
24:38
It's okay, Jim Allen. Be our lovely gym if you know,
24:50
it's been running marathons. Yeah.
24:52
All right. Let's do that.
24:53
And I know it. If so mad left sooner, maybe
24:59
after season, 1400 could have replaced him or when the 70s who
25:05
are great question, what if anyone answers?
25:08
Hey, isn't that? Well, Jeremy, Brett.
25:10
Who's that? A Sherlock Holmes from the 70s,
25:13
very intense. End of the, I think maybe after
25:18
A Deadly Assassin is quite early season. 14 say did three years,
25:22
12, 13, 14, maybe he could D regenerate back into Jon
25:29
pertwee's. On top of a cliff top.
25:31
Now, look, I would say that's a ridiculous idea.
25:35
But here we are, jump over to come back but yeah, that's her
25:39
way and those serious 17-story? Yeah.
25:43
My fingers my arms. My Everything you know, the only
25:47
from way you can make those grown Williams stories even more
25:50
camp and over-the-top would be if you hired Mollie sugden as
25:53
the doctor, it's you imagine she'd ever.
25:57
This is no cool for mechanical pussies.
26:01
She could be Lila the jumper, who is the doctor in those
26:04
stories? It mattered.
26:05
Oh my God. Mollie sugden is Layla?
26:09
Oh, Laura bleed a bit face. There are more Tyler hilarious.
26:23
He fucked fucked up, throwing knives, imaginary at all.
26:35
She was brilliant in that. You do some underworld then you
26:39
can see Quick delivery race. Oh, Dylan, Dylan office Emmy for
26:52
producing heart-stopper with the Pertwee era have been better or
26:57
worse if stuck with the format and tone of season seven or so I
27:01
can you say that again with the Poetry era have been better or
27:05
worse if stuck with the format and tone of season 7?
27:08
I've just decided that's recently as well.
27:11
Yeah. I think Be worse.
27:12
I don't think it can sustain that clinical.
27:15
I mean, I love the tone of seven, but just that year, if it
27:19
hadn't have become bit more family-friendly, I think it
27:21
would have hemorrhaged viewers in my got canceled.
27:23
Yeah, I can't see all that other stuff.
27:26
Like and the stories just would work in that.
27:29
Same tone. Would it and thing without those
27:32
sort of lighter characters you wouldn't have Miss Hawthorne.
27:35
You wouldn't have Vogue and sure enough from Carnival monsters.
27:39
Yeah, someone like entertain dismiss.
27:42
Run a show a couple little bit of iterative sorry.
27:50
Okay, next question. Paul Quinn.
27:53
Oh, Paul Quinn. Hello Paul?
27:55
You know, there is no, I literally told you today who
27:58
they are. Okay, hit the person that
28:00
introduced me to do. Okay.
28:01
Well lat, oh my God, if you never introduced me to talk to I
28:05
never would have met you. Oh yeah, Paul you a lot to ask
28:09
for He says, Tom Baker should have left at the end of season,
28:14
16 should have just literally that statement that it's just
28:19
put that statement or what? I know.
28:22
I know a certain assignment that would disagree with that
28:25
incredibly, but I do see an argument for that, but he does
28:28
get a bit flippant in 17. Yeah, I'm I still I do I still
28:32
think he's given a great performer.
28:34
Would have worked at the end of season 16 know, because he'd be
28:36
like the back Guardians after us, I need to change my
28:39
appearance to hide and I'm not sure.
28:42
No, we can handle P Davison a lot of War together.
28:45
Oh no. I don't think that would work
28:46
there too. Hot a couple's.
28:48
Well, we know a power couple of the 70s, two blondes good.
28:52
You 10. That are just too much blond
28:55
where you get two brunettes in the fourth doctor and adric a
29:02
couple of the 80's curly, those you can
29:20
Many projects on the go, someone will write all the head about
29:23
all the hair everywhere in Doctor Who um, people in dancer
29:27
who there's just all the different styles for different
29:30
uses of hair. Could totally be done, I think.
29:33
Well, you heard it here first folks, coming to you, from 4199
29:39
their hair or film will someone will hair and He's be that
29:42
helicopter book as well there's so many helicopters or maybe
29:45
references to her. No I want to see all the pics so
29:48
what you're just gonna wear layers Barbara's Buffon Matrix
29:51
putting Bowl. Yeah Jon pertwee's ever-growing
29:55
Buffon. Yeah and and all the different
29:58
like races and stuff. I got there could be a whole
30:01
chapter of the Tegan. Remember John nathan-turner
30:03
wanted to create a hair company 80s and you can have it look
30:07
like a dead rat was stamped on my head and just all the
30:10
different characters. But you mean and how the hair
30:13
impacts them. Anyway, you've given the idea
30:17
way to have one. Now copyright I'm sure blood
30:20
penknife. Okay.
30:21
The next is London Calling London, Calling London, Calling
30:26
fish CNG first. Yeah, sorry.
30:30
And was it really a good idea to have so many time.
30:32
Lord heavy stories in John and Tom's errors.
30:37
John's here is we go together for a couple of times in Tom's
30:41
here. But John's here.
30:43
Three doctors one. The feather pops up and goes,
30:47
hello doctor. Should they have kept any
30:52
mystery left. Surrounding the doctors origin
30:54
as it was in order to combat, the unsubtle ego Fest, which
30:57
both performance give. Well, I've only got one
31:00
question. Say to you about that.
31:01
What has happened to the magic of Doctor Who to appreciation?
31:06
Societies one said about the Deadly Assassin?
31:09
What do you think about that? I do.
31:13
I always used to think all is. There is too many, but when you
31:15
look at At it overall. Like, if you're looking at the
31:17
whole of the 70s, it's not that much really.
31:19
But when they do go, there they go.
31:21
They're like Omega and The Deadly Assassin because great, I
31:24
think maybe her attic villain just one of those each, maybe
31:28
you don't really need the Invasion of Time.
31:30
The Avenger top is a great script, let down by dodgy
31:34
production values, and some dodgy acting.
31:37
But yeah, that one, Rodin rodent, all I rode out, she
31:45
tried. Okay, strike limited slapper
31:49
like Joe lewallen is. All right, White America.
32:01
Best female villain of the 70s and his vote is for lady, Astra,
32:07
Astra, or at Astro, Astra, I think it means that that's true.
32:12
I think you raised a straw. Does me was, she says now my
32:16
girl, I'll give you one more chance of she slaps.
32:19
Her. Remember it's the best female
32:21
villain is its Affair of dip loss.
32:24
I think so agree. Do you remember the bit where
32:29
the the Megara scanner go? She is a fair of there.
32:33
Plus the camera goes on her face.
32:35
She's like, okay. It's called be Harris.
32:41
I absolutely have been on a bus, as it was originally supposed to
32:45
be what the nurse from Pirate planet is very good.
32:49
You dare defy me? Yes, slap, she's great.
32:55
Who else do we have? Well, a lot around here Ransom.
32:59
Oh, she's not Feelin. What she is.
33:01
If she's the friend, all she stands and says nothing for like
33:05
three episodes. It's not a bill about Marren of
33:08
The Sisterhood of Karn. I don't see errors of Illinois.
33:11
That's the doctors body to so long.
33:14
No, she's not like a villany, villany.
33:16
She's just very balls for an answer is 18.
33:21
I'm Cassie. Oh, I don't know.
33:31
Maybe is a duster then in terms of female villain, Miss Winters.
33:40
My scientific know who you fucking caveman is the master so
33:59
much. There's not that much of an
34:02
opportunity. Staying.
34:03
This one is there has got to be one at least.
34:06
Who's that woman in the silurians?
34:07
She's not really a village. All phones.
34:12
A goody-goody Jane Blythe's, a goodie.
34:15
Mmm, all the best women at the president in front Air and
34:19
Space. Also-, Atlantis.
34:22
Oh, golly. It's not like, that's the
34:25
villain of the story. I don't know, but your bearing,
34:29
I'm getting a wet. I'm done under, which is a sort
34:31
of a style. She's getting.
34:33
No. Not quite like that happen.
34:35
She says you know she does Flattered.
34:43
No one in front of the spot where the female spider.
34:46
Yeah, you do an impressionable. Those spiders
35:03
Miss Winters. There's the competitive level
35:11
great day. Great here we spot.
35:15
Flush you down the block. You can go.
35:22
You are not having that Crystal. And I am, you never say, don't
35:25
let me know. How do you work this?
35:29
Great rookie, great spider jump to my back and my pussy was off
35:33
but I think about it, the more I wonder if the companion.
35:42
Anyway, so I do you deny that. I said sincerity Applause and
35:47
Miss Winters. I think so Sarah did Plus or Ad
35:50
Astra. Okay.
35:52
John that bit where Miss Winters goes she goes.
35:54
Oh, but it could be used for evil purposes and then Miss
35:57
Winters goes like this. Do you mean this woman is an
36:01
enemy of the United government, okay?
36:08
Next Joe short. It's lovely.
36:10
Cho. Short is the Brigadier a
36:12
companion. And why is the answer?
36:14
Yes. Oh, if I say, no, that our fear
36:19
that Lucifer calm, a track me down.
36:21
Alright, unforced made me that false face that gif.
36:27
So he does go into the Tardis. How do you think the show for,
36:31
like, every everting supporting character, you don't forget, you
36:35
never use companion. Is he a regular?
36:39
Yes, and he's like a, he's a regular yes, or in the words of
36:44
the Philadelphia who veeam because she thinks that, oh, all
36:49
Companions of the Doctor Who are brave.
36:54
Like, the doctor could take the name of the doctor.
36:57
That's a good way of soon. Yeah, bring it is the doctor.
37:00
Yeah, I know. He's a commander.
37:02
I think you reality is in Winterton.
37:06
Hello. Ian went to turn.
37:08
If season 17, it ended as planned with the amazing Sharda
37:12
instead of the dog shit. Panto horns of my mod.
37:17
Do you think it on today's reputation as a TV joke with
37:21
wobbly sets, might have been avoided and thus, the show might
37:24
have survived into the 1990s and Beyond.
37:26
How do I see, how did he describe the horns of 9/11
37:34
totient? That's putting a very a lot on
37:37
the You talk to who on just you cannot blame so big, so deed for
37:42
that for the dog in the night-time to eat, isn't it?
37:47
Poor Halls of know I'm on, I'll cherish it even more.
37:50
Now you know, I was gonna have him on this podcast but all
37:55
opinions are welcome on this podcast.
37:59
No, I don't, I think if Charter been completed, we would have
38:04
had a six-part episode of the end of season 17 and then it
38:07
would have I've continued exactly how it did.
38:09
Yeah, no difference. No difference at all.
38:12
We got gin Allenby, again. I like you, man, have you not
38:16
got a phrases questions? He's done enough.
38:18
Just Steve crew as you said them?
38:20
Okay, come on, do it. We lost a number of stories in
38:22
the 1960s and I guess that could have happened to some early 70s
38:26
stories as well. Did we offer we did and they
38:29
found copies of seeing a lot of what Pertwee story would have.
38:33
We have benefit from having lost its visuals.
38:38
From Lost having lost its officials.
38:40
Yeah well people like oh my God what was so Alpha Centauri I
38:43
really like and then John Kira's death snapping away.
38:48
Every time that penis is a be the best story, travel Telly
38:52
snaps. I'd love a night in which ogura
38:55
snapping away together by your fancy camera snaps.
39:06
Oh my God. Maybe something like the
39:09
mutants. We have a location work because
39:12
you're very light so that you could lose a visual.
39:20
So that one then. Oh yeah actually no I think you
39:22
could I think you could and still the highwomen style
39:26
everyone would be like. Oh my God, Kronos was amazing.
39:29
I've got it under world. And yes if underworld was just a
39:33
soundtrack it would still be boring but it wouldn't be
39:35
enough. Offensively eyes.
39:38
Yeah, anything else invite Lisa life.
39:41
Same part we stories. Oh Jasper, we okay.
39:47
What if a dinosaur with Dinosaurs was missing and you
39:49
didn't see the directions great in dinosaur.
39:53
So if we just have them still, as you can just hear it.
39:57
If I can't write the story is amazing.
40:00
Yeah, okay, we'll go over invasion of the dinosaurs even
40:03
though I will add as a caveat paddy.
40:06
This direction is terrific and I love those Miniatures.
40:09
Are I care what anyone says next Professor.
40:13
Stephen Halk, Stephen okay, and it goes into something else,
40:17
which I can't see. Professor Steven hauk, okay?
40:21
Someone Professor Steven hauk. Hello.
40:24
Do you think so far as I'm concerned is Stephen Hawkins?
40:30
Do you think the Third Doctor lived inside the Tardis?
40:33
During his Exile, I figure that Get depressing for him.
40:37
Can you imagine him having a Swanky Mayfair apartment?
40:40
Yeah. Me too.
40:42
Really off to a gentlemen's club all the time.
40:44
Stuff like that. Yeah, come on.
40:47
There's no way. It's just hanging out in a Dusty
40:48
old hardest doing nothing. Well, he's moving stuff around
40:52
in there. We'll just bust a that part we
40:55
console in tar monster. Yeah.
40:56
Well you could say in that nice in a nice house in Mayfair or
41:00
that won't you choose? It's got a nice Cottage.
41:03
I think in the comic strips and TV action, I want to say thank
41:06
you as a nice house, their house in the country.
41:08
Yeah, there we go. That's what exactly.
41:10
Sure. And Joe brought round for tea.
41:16
All right. Fine.
41:17
Wine and Camembert. They love and a good-humoured,
41:23
wine cheeky, and a touch sardonic and Darren lit
41:30
roundels. Hello Darrin it roundels, was it
41:34
best that Hinchcliffe left on a high or would it have been great
41:37
to see how he'd make Doctor, Who with less violence, less money
41:41
and more humor in season 15 Christ?
41:43
What a good question. But would it have changed
41:45
though? Fugitive would just carry on
41:48
being intellectually be an inch. Cliff inch grip.
41:52
I'll put you off at your side insulin.
41:56
No good time to do it. So I see a lot of girls laughing
42:00
outside the window. Maybe he would have found ways
42:22
of telling sort of economic stories but his stories were
42:26
quite ambitious. My horror fan Rock would have
42:28
changed the. I see that kind of thing.
42:30
Would say yeah that kind of thing.
42:33
Jim Allen be again. Hello Jim.
42:35
Again we all love Sarah Jane but was the character better under
42:38
Lex and dicks or underage live next the TV show.
42:44
Barry Letts the producer was she good under legs and dicks or
42:49
better under Hinchcliffe? Okay, I can actually also
42:52
questioned sensibly, that's shocking.
42:56
I think she's a better character under, let's dig.
42:59
She was a stronger character and she had far more agency, I
43:04
think. Elizabeth sladen was far more
43:07
comfortable and thus, the chemistry was better with Tom
43:11
Baker. Yeah.
43:13
So it's if they both work as a strong character in season 11
43:18
and as a fantastic foil to the doctor in 1213, 40.
43:22
He also asked as well. I will change to sleet lots of
43:25
questions. What would a Pertwee Cybermen
43:27
story of? Look like mission trip.
43:30
Hurry coming over Joe at the five of us, that's metal
43:36
Miniver. What do you think?
43:41
Well II love the Bluetooth from Big finish that companion
43:44
Chronicle with Cybermen in didn't have too much side of
43:48
men, but it was a good one. It was always very seasoned.
43:51
Actually there was some horror moments.
43:54
Wasn't someone sort of like half converted or something.
43:58
Silverfish as well. Yeah, it's tough like that yet.
44:01
But like a spear from spacey but with Simon, imagine a Cybermen
44:08
on film like that of them going. What's the process?
44:11
The last one? We'll in space, like The
44:13
Invasion. Yeah, and what's on of that
44:16
revenge of the Cybermen? Well, I've got a feeling, it
44:18
wouldn't be as good as the invasion, but it would be much.
44:21
Better than revenge of the Cybermen.
44:22
It'll be like an auton story. I think something in the home or
44:25
you got to remember is let some dicks hired Jerry Davis to do
44:31
revenge of the Cybermen. So I think it would have been a
44:35
bit like that. Okay, let's might have had never
44:38
become but good there still might have been plenty of phobic
44:41
energy next up for as your Gregory areas.
44:48
Come on. What is it about lizards hat?
44:50
That makes it so damn special. He's obsessed about this hat.
44:54
It's a Good Hat. Honestly, I think he's got a
44:56
replica hat in his house and he goes and sits and looks at
44:59
himself in the mirror, wearing this hat.
45:02
It's great. Should I wash you have that
45:04
massive car chase in ambassadors of death, but how don't go
45:07
nowhere? Does it say where?
45:12
I still we approve hat. I mean, it's just fabulous.
45:21
Of water all the way for. Yeah.
45:23
Yeah, Joel Island again, I love you all.
45:27
We've sort of already answered this one.
45:29
Going to say it again. What was the best?
45:30
Double act, not written by Robert Holmes.
45:33
How does anyone remember? How is any answer?
45:36
Not miss Hawthorne and Sergeant Ben and wrong.
45:38
And why were we robbed of that? Big finish Maris we must with
45:42
the facility dog. Okay, so no pressure on this
45:45
whole form. Find of that.
45:48
For the fee, I can stab wounds only.
45:51
Morning, Lucy. We're cool.
45:55
Right? She tells stories with those
45:57
two. It's double act.
45:59
Oh, I've been tuned as well. I think so.
46:01
I'm sure you're right in place and adulation where teaspoon?
46:08
And oh yeah. The doc's car.
46:21
Can we not play the five doctors but they're just fuck him.
46:25
Oh, I can't, I'm no virgin. No, let's not go there because
46:27
I'm talking that's what I read about.
46:28
The third sternal, he's gone. No, I read one with the second
46:33
doctor, enjoy the Brigadier walks past and the second doctor
46:38
is literally, you know, Jamie let's just carry on the best
46:45
double Act, is it Miss or fall of Benton?
46:47
I hit him with my vertical. I these occasionally The outcome
46:51
for certainty. Have loved to have seen more of
46:54
that mr. Hawthorne should just pop back
46:57
again. Yeah, something like that.
46:59
Another guitar. Maybe there were too many other
47:00
characters to to have someone lied about Marwan and oheka.
47:06
Okay, what about Jason scorpy? No, I don't really have a double
47:12
accent we've. You said about guarana, oh, what
47:16
about the pirate Captain, the mr.
47:18
Fibula. No, I don't really like them
47:20
either. No, I think he thought I'd been
47:24
to might be a good answer. Okay.
47:26
That should be the name of their spin-off show, you know.
47:28
And then to imagine it all shot on film Miss Hawthorne and
47:32
Benton go around and solve Mysteries a bit like what's the
47:36
one John Nettles? Does Midsomer Murders be like
47:38
that. Yeah, but in the 70s, sort of,
47:42
Cheshire way, I think. Yeah, the Cheshire murders.
47:49
So I heart, I'll side. Where have you been?
47:52
We're 47 minutes in. Why was the best new writer of
47:56
the 70s? David Fisher.
47:59
Oh, I think that's true. Actually, he does some good
48:02
ideas more than I was a blood and Rise of tarah Creature from
48:07
the pier. Yeah.
48:08
And the Leisure you liked all of those because his scripts are
48:16
witty and Douglas Adams. Here are some very funny lines.
48:20
Yeah. Just a bit Wicked.
48:22
To me, they were on foot Runners.
48:24
If something very nasty is coming after you because
48:26
something very nasty will be coming up T at she goes.
48:29
What about you? Because, well, don't worry, I'll
48:31
be doing plenty of that. Anyway, it's a shame, we didn't
48:33
do any more. Well, I think he would like to.
48:36
He says, in the Leisure Hive, documentary went to do something
48:38
else but that he really would have liked to have done more
48:41
after that. Yeah, he got sent to someone for
48:44
program but hang on what other new writers but he had Bob Baker
48:47
and David Marr in, turn it up in the 70s.
48:50
All imagination. No skill.
48:52
Yeah, I don't in terms of quality.
48:54
That's right around. Entities are question their
48:57
worth as ideas men with Terrance, dicks lock in those
49:01
scripts into place, but they invented canine and they can
49:04
live off that the nucleus of this food.
49:06
That was well. Oh my God.
49:08
They wrote come on in and join the party.
49:37
The human palindrome. Oh, that's Mark Cockrum.
49:42
You know I love face. Got cocking his name and lovely
49:46
blow. You know, I did haunted armor
49:47
with him recently such a Charming And well he says snog.
49:52
Marry avoid always getting it on phrases game.
49:55
Go on The Collector. Oh righto Alpha Centauri, your
50:03
arms release, I'm not healthy. I mean they all look like coxton
50:06
a probably collect. Okay we'll go on then No.
50:23
Just ahead. Well, that's what the character
50:25
looks like. Come on.
50:27
Okay. I'll snoke.
50:31
Look erato because you, who knows where that's going to end
50:34
up without a fabulous appendage. I'll Marry The Collector because
50:39
he's going to be a very wealthy, man.
50:40
We have a good life and I'll avoid over some chore.
50:45
I always imagined him Garden will time.
50:49
I think it'll be about, you know, the bit where he realizes.
50:55
He's outnumbered it goes the Peloton and then he lifts off
50:57
his is 3/2 to vo. O, can you do a fashion show and
51:03
pressure and I think I cares. What's he say?
51:06
Oh God as a member of the Galactic Federation.
51:10
Yeah I'll leave that to you okay.
51:13
I can certainly sound like a gay civil servant and Andy Parkinson
51:18
and he shuffled like never before.
51:22
What monsters would you like to see return in the present era?
51:26
It's everyone using the word error because I kept saying
51:28
error last time which for a Mana is best fruit repeated practice.
51:33
You're now getting it wrong way, okay.
51:35
Oh and she's got like four different things.
51:36
So, let's go first. What monsters would you like to
51:38
see returning the present era? I haven't come back yet and the
51:42
70s was only one answer to that the trash shakes in CGI there.
51:48
Be amazing. And eat a spaceship.
51:53
They would look amazing nowadays.
51:54
Yeah, which Ramana is best. It's one of his best.
52:03
That's a question. That is dogs people since the
52:06
end of time. Because the unanswerable
52:09
question is Molly. Ward is my favorite but I think
52:12
that both fucking Brill great. Aren't they?
52:14
I think by the end of that key to Time season Mary tab is top
52:18
dollar. Mmm, you know, you're capricious
52:21
willful and you don't even know where we're going.
52:26
Do you answer that? I don't think I can.
52:28
Actually they both bring different than It's so
52:31
different. They bring different things to
52:33
it. I think, I think, I think, but I
52:34
do think to ultimately is a stronger character by the End
52:40
Future sort of stands for. It's just more technobabble than
52:43
Romano one, I think she makes on Earth.
52:48
Forget on, come on, she's horny as hell.
52:54
Then she dressed up with that red, pony gear, shower, and
52:57
everybody total dominatrix, It's question.
53:01
Where did the Third Doctor get his tattoo and why all the
53:05
Bangkok pussy Club? Of course oh well I think
53:09
there's another thing. The story there you know he fell
53:12
out the Tardis and then the other Adventure where he went on
53:16
a Wall Part in a venture because he lost his memories, you know
53:19
and ended up in a tattoo parlor at the end of the night.
53:21
I drank too much ate too much Gorgonzola had a tattoo on his
53:25
bum. Oh no, on his arm on his arm out
53:29
of shower, put the clothes on and Thought the autons I can't
53:32
believe that she'll was still there, but I think they said
53:34
about that tattoo like the mark of the call said and they that
53:37
yeah, the tattoo in one regeneration are not another
53:41
like you like those sort of things can appear or not.
53:43
So, there you go. And he also asks, what are the
53:46
most underrated and overrated stories of the third and fourth
53:50
doctor, underrated or overrated? Okay, let's do a underrated.
53:54
First, 1H, underrated, underrated.
53:59
The doctor story? I think invasion of the
54:02
dinosaurs because people just see the dinosaurs and they don't
54:05
see what a brilliant story is. Everything else in that is so
54:11
good, the ideas behind it but everyone just goes all the
54:14
dinosaurs. I shit I think the claws of
54:16
access. I think the close of our sauce
54:19
has four episodes worth of material, tons of great ideas.
54:23
It's got some wacky visuals in their bill Faller where you
54:28
going dark. Oh, what was that bit?
54:32
What did he say? When he
55:09
Okay, well then then you do think that is I do rated.
55:13
I think maybe three doctors Does anyone write the three?
55:17
Doctors holy-o's? You think it's.
55:19
What's that? Fear and a fear is a re I think
56:00
is an ex-husband. So that was overrated.
56:03
Having anyone Rose had the feeling, I think you've got four
56:07
very different episodes and they're all very good.
56:11
Yeah. Now the others a lot happens in
56:13
that one overrated overrated. Tough tough.
56:21
Tough so much good in Don't you go for see your death.
56:27
I will have you know maybe actually yeah overrated but it
56:31
is good. It is good.
56:39
Android invasion. How dare you stop this right
56:44
now? How the end of the episode
56:50
underrated under your underneath, a rock, which, I
57:00
think is good. But everyone seems to think is
57:03
the best thing ever. It's been slow.
57:06
Mmm, I don't suspend story. They booked me on my God in one
57:10
more, one more proof. Mr. Gregory we all know what
57:15
special features would you like to see included on the season 7
57:18
and season 11 box sets special features season seven for you.
57:23
Fraser will have an entire documentary about literals hat.
57:27
I think a lot about Caroline Jean would be great on season 7.
57:30
Obviously it's another there's there's a whole documentary on
57:32
Caroline, John this bear from space.
57:35
All right, that's all going to go on the yeah, it's fabulous.
57:40
It's really touching. I think To go back to the way
57:43
and just see the way in season seven.
57:46
I wouldn't want to put more of Havoc, you know?
57:48
We did a lot of work in season 7, didn't they?
57:50
Yeah, season 11. Well actually, I needed.
57:54
We're going to do the dinosaur. Yeah.
57:56
And shawls have CGI for the dinosaurs, something just to see
57:59
what that would look like. Yeah, if I saw little miniature
58:04
my new spiders and Planet the spiders to be honest, Boris the
58:08
spider Special features anything that's all got a bit left out
58:17
and the DVDs I think so. Oh yes.
58:20
I what I want is Doctor Who the problems carry blyton's music
58:23
from death to the Daleks I want. All I'll entire problems.
58:27
Orchestra saxophones. It's coming out dot dot dot.
58:36
Dot, dot dot. So that rounds up part, 1 of
58:47
questions from the 1970s, how did you find it so far of very
58:51
revealing? I think revealing, what are you
58:56
revealing? Would you care to Revere?
58:59
What do you think to the old? Yes, come on now.
59:03
Don't prefer my intriguing. The I think the house of a blunt
59:09
penknife audience And have come up with some very imaginative.
59:15
Creative questions. You're smart Bunch.
59:18
Well, we'll be back baby for part 2.
59:21
Including I think we should have more third, doctor and mrs.
59:25
Slocombe Adventures. We don't talk about that doctor.
59:30
I knew that bastard was a rugged.
59:32
When I saw her in my pussy's has to dress up.
59:35
No way. We could ever story in the film,
59:38
The Past where she met her husband?
59:43
I was just going about my business as an air raid Warden
59:47
and then a bomb exploded, the doctor jumped on me and went
59:51
look out here. Comes an incendiary will have 15
59:58
more questions from Fraser Gregory next time.
1:00:00
Yeah we hardly got any of those but we'll be back.
