- 3:18I my God, I on dominators klaxon is mentioned in every single
- 3:22commentary. Sorry in that, I did a little
- 3:30game where you have to guess the Fear Factor of certain people.
- 3:35I thought we could do this with you and I thought, I thought
- 3:39from it, I thought, I'll hang on a minute.
- 3:40What pack should I do? And I thought, well, I'm gonna
- 3:42do when your mom got. So I'm going to go for the McCoy
- 3:44era which is I think my favorite era and the stovetop Trump's
- 3:49just for the listeners I've got a what gets out 80, what the
- 3:53Fear Factor? This is 100, what the Fear
- 3:55Factor is of the people you're going to mention.
- 3:58So the six altogether and I will say, if anyone does want to pack
- 4:03of these, please do let me know because they are available.
- 4:06Okay, find mrs. Remington fan on Twitter.
- 4:09These plants are so authentic. They look like they look better
- 4:13than the PC. What?
- 4:16That's very kind of you. Sorry, because I've done, I've
- 4:18done, I've done Patrick, John, Peter Collins about.
- 4:21That was only ever going to do Sylvester, but I've got a bit
- 4:24obsessed. Anyway.
- 4:25So we've got six character cards here, okay.
- 4:28Raven you to guess out of 100 what their school.
- 4:32So we're going to start with that icon of the 1980s.
- 4:36So versatile player and we're going to start with Professor
- 4:38Rachel Jensen be packed up. Yeah, 40. 40.
- 4:47Rachel Jansen is the most inoffensive got me.
- 4:49She's grave. It's not scary.
- 4:51Chuck. Tell him.
- 4:53Oh okay. Yeah, yeah.
- 4:55That's absolutely fair enough. But I think the her Cardigans
- 5:00are pretty scary, so I bumper up to Philly.
- 5:03Okay. Oh no, that's fair enough.
- 5:05Alright, number two, we have The tone master from Delta and the
- 5:10bannermen as played by Sir Ken Dodd in terms of performance.
- 5:15I've give him 95 for Fear Factor, but in terms of fear,
- 5:20like it does not realistic fear so I'll probably give him a
- 5:23five. 15:58 okay. More than Fraser Jensen.
- 5:30So yeah. Well, he's got, he's got big
- 5:32teeth. The terrifying are they?
- 5:34Although you know what, if you were stuck without a can opener,
- 5:37you'd be all right, with Ken Dodd.
- 5:39It just like it. Yeah.
- 5:42Right. Number five, or six of these
- 5:43islets. You've got number three.
- 5:44Mmm, we've got more game. Now she comes kind of good at
- 5:53the end but She does, murder Lavelle, doesn't she shoots down
- 5:59a helicopter. She unleashes the Destroyer upon
- 6:02the world. I'm gonna give her a T.
- 6:06So Close 70. Okay, that's that.
- 6:11Yeah, that's like over half and I think she's a good villain.
- 6:14So yeah, it's j Marsh another parching Marcia.
- 6:18Okay. Number four, this game is great.
- 6:20Can we just do this instead of the commentary?
- 6:22Yeah let's do it. You need episode 3.
- 6:24You don't listen to episode 3, let's just do this.
- 6:29All right, number for the chief clown from The call, my God,
- 6:33Galaxy fucking terrifying. 100. Thanks again 90.
- 6:40Yeah it deserves it. My god.
- 6:43Oh. Stop that.
- 6:45It's the painted face is the fake face.
- 6:48I just can't handle it. Oh yeah.
- 6:50Bob sexually. Once you want to go to the
- 6:52circus? I'm like, are you fucking
- 6:53kidding me? Although I did.
- 6:55I was a child. I didn't say fucking, but you're
- 6:58like, well, what's from Crowley's and potentially I did
- 7:01oh yeah, great performance as well, right?
- 7:04Oh, I thought you meant me. Okay.
- 7:08Number five, we have mrs. Pritchard from Ghostlight Very
- 7:15scary. Oh my word before the cuckoo
- 7:20invaded your mind, or she's creeps me out the way she Glides
- 7:24about. I'm going to give her an 80 60
- 7:31over half. I think that's fair and last,
- 7:36but by no means least. Oh my God.
- 7:39Is it mrs. Reddington it.
- 7:41Most certainly is a Fear Factor all my word prioleau.
- 7:49Shanks garish is marvellously entertaining that, but the
- 7:52actress Dolores, great would get like a 95.
- 7:55But they said, Remington herself is coming in on a measly. 85.
- 8:04But you were close. Yeah.
- 8:06Although what would you give Dolores gray?
- 8:10What by all accounts? A bit of a monster on the set.
- 8:14Yeah, that's had known. I had her noting face as well
- 8:19throughout the day but can I just say for style, she got the
- 8:22highest on entire packet and so right now, she's got 100 got 80.
- 8:28I was at 80 out of 80. Yeah.
- 8:30Okay I don't know. I had to Had to score some of
- 8:32them honest to God, like you and the fun thing about these top
- 8:36trumps. Tom Trump's top trumps is that
- 8:40Dave? And I have spent many an hour,
- 8:43debating the schools and so it's fun because it gets you to that
- 8:47discuss your opinions also, Joe has been absolutely wonderful
- 8:50because I have literally texture and been like, what do I School
- 8:53Ingrid kit from time on today. We had one and we have assumed
- 8:56chat where you literally took me through or one whole pack and I
- 8:59was just like yeah, the basic rule the school And I got off at
- 9:03Zoom called thinking about poor, man, literally.
- 9:06All he wanted to do was have a catch-up and I'm just, like,
- 9:08help me with this. I got, to be honest.
- 9:10Yeah, I'm going to be really honest with, you know, if it was
- 9:12a choice between circle jerk and discussing top.
- 9:15Trumps of you are choose the top trumps any day of the week.
- 9:18All right? Just on the Peter Davison are as
- 9:22well. So and there's some of the
- 9:24things I Kant and Divas. I'm assuming Barrel reason are
- 9:27right, of course, she's in there.
- 9:32What about Holly James? I think I just heard she.
- 9:37She was the first card I did. What about I think there is
- 9:43Hughes? Yeah.
- 9:44She's in there. Now, this is a very huge say
- 9:47doctor. I think she's dead rare and very
- 9:51good screen. Yeah.
- 9:53Really good. Which makes no sense for them.
- 9:55Again, we've successfully managed to spend 10 minutes.
- 9:59Not talkin about the some makers.
- 10:01Although to be fair, we've done that quite a bit with its
- 10:03coverage. Should we skip into episode 3?
- 10:06Which is usually notoriously the worst episode of a four-part
- 10:09story. Let's do it.
- 10:11Let's see how we fare. I think there's going to be a
- 10:13bit of this is going to be quite steamy this episode or Louise
- 10:18Jameson was going to betray. The country is going to be super
- 10:22steamy but Louise Jameson is going to be very steamy in this.
- 10:26Aikido. Here we go.
- 10:30I guess. I pressed record.
- 10:31You tell me when you're ready to go, man.
- 10:36I hope someone gets in touch about the top drivers.
- 10:38That would be so amazing. In five, four, three, two, one.
- 10:47Let's go diddly Dum diddly. Dum, fucking good music, isn't
- 10:52it? Also we didn't talk about it a
- 10:57lot of stuff but that's gaining can't beat the stick.
- 11:00What are the end there? Yeah.
- 11:04You know why are they bad? Don't you?
- 11:06Yes, wasn't it. That's right.
- 11:07Because you watch series 7 and there ain't no sting.
- 11:09I don't think it's in the beginning but not in the end.
- 11:13The barrel is like we need something dramatic to see the
- 11:16episode out. You know, is that the most
- 11:20featureless Corridor in Doctor Who it's not great, isn't it?
- 11:25Well, at least it's on film in time lash.
- 11:28They look like that but it's on the studio, you know it's like
- 11:30yeah that's true. They are at least on location
- 11:33where there is a sense of scale. Yeah.
- 11:37Actually the location stuff is quite nice, isn't it?
- 11:40And there's plenty of it as well.
- 11:42In this there there is a lot of location work.
- 11:45Did you notice how noisy K9 was in this?
- 11:52Like they saw that I'd season 16.
- 11:55So what was the cliffhanger? The car comes to all of them are
- 12:00comes towards them and their traps.
- 12:02I don't know. That's the best Cliffhanger in
- 12:03the world though. It's not, it's not great.
- 12:06What does, what follows on from this?
- 12:09What's the next story? I think, you know what the next
- 12:11story is, it's not actually some ambulance stick Doctor Who story
- 12:16known to mankind. Actually agent of time, it's not
- 12:23overwhelmed. That's for sure.
- 12:25Fucking hell. What did you think of
- 12:30Underworld? Oh yeah right.
- 12:32Yeah, let's just say it's that story that whenever you getting
- 12:36things signed by doing shows for John Leeson, you leave
- 12:41underworld to last. I find underworld and Terminus
- 12:45are the cure for insomnia. This is just.
- 12:52Yeah, we're not gonna talk about turn.
- 12:53This happiness is interminable. So I wanted to ask you about
- 13:00canine and His function within serious.
- 13:03Now, I've heard people comment, their canine is basically the
- 13:06doctors gun, and he doesn't like a lot of the technical work for
- 13:13the doctor, so the doctor doesn't have to be too clever.
- 13:15What's your opinion on this? I love K9, I think he's The
- 13:24thing about canine I find especially in these early
- 13:26stories is clearly just been written in and, you know, these
- 13:31been slotted into this story. He's not really needed, but then
- 13:34the next season season 16, it feels like he's got more to do,
- 13:39but I didn't mind that so much. I don't mind the fact that he
- 13:42can, you know, he can shoot things.
- 13:44He can also, can I just say she would have run over those two
- 13:47bodies, she's probably asleep. It's quite nice to have that
- 13:56actually, to have a sort of and also it's something I can relate
- 14:00to because children have got pets at home.
- 14:03Well, they shop at the same didn't go down.
- 14:04The obvious route of having a man in a suit, did they rituals?
- 14:08No, but could you imagine it would have been another comedian
- 14:11if we've been worse. Honestly, although like had they
- 14:14gone down the DAT for and I know that was a possibility.
- 14:19Hmm. He was a lot of fun.
- 14:22Yeah. But I can see where to Tom was
- 14:24coming from in terms of good. I think he hated Canaan, but he
- 14:28loved John Leeson, did they? Yeah.
- 14:31Yeah, yeah. Oh, here we go.
- 14:32Sorry. Maybe like my face, have you
- 14:40used that line? Future, I'm putting, you know, I
- 14:47think. Yeah.
- 14:47I mean, Tom didn't like a 94. He loved John Mason, and I think
- 14:52even, they said, all they should have just got him in a suit.
- 14:54But could you imagine that? I don't think that would have
- 14:57worked. The thing he did in the
- 14:58rehearsal room, or getting on his hands and knees and, and
- 15:01developing a rapport with the actors.
- 15:03So then that's filled, it's there.
- 15:06It's on stream that Tim box and those actors have a
- 15:10relationship. Yeah, and as John me, Awesome.
- 15:13We've talked about in the last episode, but they talking about
- 15:15utopian saying that Tommy's gonna sit next to the canine
- 15:18prop when they were doing the Times, crossword in the brakes
- 15:22and filming and you know, that wouldn't have great hilarity.
- 15:25But I think, you know, if they ask Tom to get into a shot with
- 15:28canine, it would be him having to kneel down and then you can
- 15:33ask a question. You can ask me anything you
- 15:36want. Do you have a?
- 15:39Do you bar for shower? Both in a light bar.
- 15:44So when you have a bath, right you ever let one off?
- 15:48Bell guys. Have you ever done it though?
- 15:54I mean I I definitely have and the size of artifacts.
- 15:59That's the worst poker have ever seen in my entire life.
- 16:01Sorry, awful what? Like, it makes a certain noise
- 16:04when it bubbles up, doesn't it? Why does every single gun in the
- 16:07Graham Williams era sound like a fart coming out of a bar b?
- 16:10A Why is that? But maybe with the special
- 16:17sounds unit, only had a few Like, it's out.
- 16:21I are very rarely will say things in the 80s, or better
- 16:24than the 70s, but the gun noises are way better.
- 16:26You decide my noise, it goes. You know, all the guns in her
- 16:32short, the go, wow. You know, that's just do read
- 16:38all the other ones in Resurrection of the Daleks that
- 16:40go like, You know. I don't think the sound sound
- 16:52man was on form in this one. Criminals.
- 16:59Have the number removed. Hey, he's not pack woman.
- 17:06Know how it looks like him, though.
- 17:10I know that he had a wig on, didn't me Henry wolf because
- 17:13there's a publicity shot that they use.
- 17:15Quite a lot, which they think is from the episode, which is him
- 17:18the care. That's a good ball cap though
- 17:19because I've seen very good a lot worse.
- 17:24So, okay, I want to ask you a question about the because
- 17:30there's this story comes in for some criticism.
- 17:33These violent Rebels overthrow the system.
- 17:36Yeah, I know we're doing absolutely but they overvote
- 17:39throw it in an extremely violent way.
- 17:41I they toss The Gatherer off a building and I don't mean they
- 17:45ranked him off a building. They literally throw him off a
- 17:47building to his death. I don't go.
- 17:52And then the doctor goes well Yeah, it goes.
- 17:55So we'll see you later guys. You know.
- 17:57Hopefully turn out well Do you think things?
- 18:01So now we're with this bunch and charge, it is a revolution.
- 18:05Don't forget, I mean, do ants. I mean these people have had to
- 18:08come out of the life that they were living because they can't
- 18:11afford to pay. You know, they're going to start
- 18:14a rebellion that I think it's a perfectly reasonable way of
- 18:17being. I mean it's like Your mind.
- 18:20How would you feel in a situation where if you had to
- 18:23live on the ground and then you got to meet the person that was
- 18:27responsible for, you not being able to live your life, I think
- 18:30copy angry but enough about from Austria, we did you know, it's a
- 18:34bit of a company that's very well when you become a Savage
- 18:37dictator or I shall throw you off a building.
- 18:42Not just play one. I would like to be one.
- 18:45It sounds like a lot of work to make being a dictator.
- 18:48Yeah. But I know with the target
- 18:54novel, Terrance dicks is very unhappy without ending and he
- 18:58rewrites it so they throw him off the building and then he
- 19:03literally puts in the sentence. They turned on each other
- 19:06shamefaced and guilty that they had committed that act, you
- 19:12know. Yeah.
- 19:12So like I do like it when Terrance dicks script edit
- 19:16stories. He had nothing to do with in the
- 19:18novel. Didn't, you know you were saying
- 19:21in the previous episode that you thought she was called Mom.
- 19:24Yeah, I also thought Kurt Cordova's called cold, you'll
- 19:29do. We've got a TV show.
- 19:30There are fits the adventures of Cordia one mom, call your mom.
- 19:35There's a big finish season waiting to happen.
- 19:37Don't say three times. You know, it comes.
- 19:39True. Oh my God.
- 19:41Look at Louis Jameson. Well, that's got rid of the
- 19:47tiger's paws off me. 17. Yeah, boing boing for bonus
- 19:55points. You know, who's doing the voice
- 19:57for the machine. No, I think it's John Leeson
- 20:04who's there? I think they sort of just run
- 20:07out of money and they were like, can you do personal computers?
- 20:10Can you see those two girls in the background in the shadows?
- 20:12That's a bit menacing just got them all.
- 20:16Let's have a look. If you have to wait for the long
- 20:18shot pennant Roberts is favoring.
- 20:20The close-up at the moment. Oh, you missed another great
- 20:24line. Who is the doctor?
- 20:27How did you get the flu down? I don't think of many stories as
- 20:34well. So too, because normally it's
- 20:38like the quickest way they can be in the first episode of the
- 20:41Cliffhanger to the first episode.
- 20:43I also like the fact that he is clearly disabled, I little chair
- 20:49because that is not commented on.
- 20:53Criticize like hello. The ball riding time lash,
- 20:58you're an ugly. You know, you're an athlete
- 21:00disabled. Get a you'll never love you.
- 21:03Get in the time. Lash, you know it's horrendous.
- 21:07Was he a wolf disables? I'm not sure.
- 21:11I'm not sure. But I it's an interesting facet
- 21:15and it isn't, it isn't really commented on Awkward to size
- 21:20which is great that that gag there about Gallifrey was it
- 21:25potential for economic growth or something zero?
- 21:29As that's a great line. Yeah.
- 21:32Look, they're all they're all on board with him now.
- 21:37I guess it's I guess it's just them.
- 21:39Bring the story, Don isn't it? So what you're going to say that
- 21:42you've met? Some of them, I was about
- 21:44Michael Keaton once at the signing and it was quite funny
- 21:47because he he he was very nice but he kept checking his phone.
- 21:54And I was thinking, okay, this is a little bit redundant.
- 21:57He was like one first or he's like my daughter is expecting
- 21:59hospital about to have a grandchild and I'm literally
- 22:03waiting for the phone call to go.
- 22:04So I do apologize that I was fine.
- 22:08He's right now is drop a great name story and every single one
- 22:11of these, you know, I do. I do feel like this.
- 22:13I have to do that. Now, if you think, so we've had
- 22:17the marvelous time when Sylvia Noble, thought you were the, no,
- 22:22she didn't think. With the manager.
- 22:24But you had the same name. Didn't you as the manager of
- 22:26the? Yeah, so the marvelous time when
- 22:29Stephanie cold drop, the fact that she was once off the part
- 22:32of the doctor. Yeah, and Shadow Walker walked
- 22:35in to the theater. I used to work there, she should
- 22:38have done that, they should have gone for a sorry, she would have
- 22:43been amazing. I know I wouldn't lose Conley
- 22:44Baker for anything but hmm, she probably would have flirted with
- 22:48me as well with my gay for Canada's T-shirt.
- 22:51Oh absolutely. And your so called a Jack is an
- 22:55Amy and who landed on this planet by mistake?
- 22:59What do you think, performance? I think it's terrific, it's very
- 23:03member, there's not another performers lightened up to hurt,
- 23:06you know, it's Unique. It is Comic and it is over the
- 23:10top and I am very comfortable with that.
- 23:14As I've gotten older, I think when I was, when I was younger,
- 23:17I didn't like over-the-top performances.
- 23:20Long Live. It's very creepy as well though.
- 23:23While he's doing that, he's a bit like a spider.
- 23:25He's kind of hunched. Yeah, it's a arms, you know,
- 23:28he's always doing it wrong. So is this the line here we go.
- 23:35Hey you from your private purse. Oh joke.
- 23:45They are wicked together and like I said, oh yeah, because
- 23:50you've got two villains, interacting, it means we can
- 23:53keep cutting back to the villains point of view and have
- 23:58a dialogue. Hmm, like normally don't tell
- 24:02you, I don't know. It's like, it's just the villain
- 24:04grandstanding against the doctor because it's one person against
- 24:07one person. Whereas here the doctors running
- 24:11rings around the villains. And we're basically watching the
- 24:13villains reactions. To the revolution that he's
- 24:16moving up. The work you do as for cry with
- 24:22the lice, I say that all the time at work.
- 24:29You know, she the cars behind him, I'm to engross did what?
- 24:35It's another half your Global Society Don't try to prevent
- 24:43obesity has loves riding this dialogue personally.
- 24:47Oh yeah, well, they love talking it as well.
- 24:50Don't know when you can see and then, okay, so all that, we in
- 24:54the dungeon in episode 1, we have suicide in episode 2, we
- 24:58had the populace being drugged and straitjackets.
- 25:01Yeah, so there was like, they were like leading.
- 25:03It's like a mental asylum in episode 3, there's torture porn.
- 25:07I people are going to be steamed today.
- 25:11And please have you ever bought a while?
- 25:12Microwave meal, ripped open that seal and had the steam attack
- 25:16your your flesh. Yeah, it's fun.
- 25:19Yeah painful. Imagine that all over.
- 25:22But the collectors they're going oh yeah, well I can get out, you
- 25:28know, like he's really it is like a, it's like a live snuff
- 25:32movie, isn't it? Yeah.
- 25:33Absolutely. I mean it's it's a pretty wide
- 25:37also. Charging people for it coming,
- 25:39you know, it's compulsory. Yeah.
- 25:42So this is also, this has got the famous line in it, which
- 25:46one, this is MM, and when I get a real feeling of job
- 25:50satisfaction, this is creepy as well.
- 25:53The way he comes up to her and starts laughing at her because
- 25:56she's restrained, does he die? He does, doesn't he?
- 26:02I'm not sure. He gets wet fart it to death
- 26:04because I am in episode 4. I've got a very funny story to
- 26:11tell you about someone. He's in this but he only
- 26:13appeared in episode 4. I can't wait.
- 26:16But it's yeah. Oh, she's Savage.
- 26:20I'll have to look at your ugly face.
- 26:22Oh, my God, yellow. Like the men.
- 26:26Are they love the? It's very viral.
- 26:30This isn't it? Like they like them.
- 26:31Yeah, the violence. Never noticed.
- 26:35You can see a bit of the string there that's holding it to the
- 26:38wall. Oh, I didn't notice then.
- 26:40So thank goodness. The illusion is safe with me.
- 26:45I haven't ruined. So, and then and then Blows in
- 26:49episode 4, you have the heroes murdering the villain and that's
- 26:54really dark as well. I'm just saying throughout this
- 26:57story there's a slightly sadistic Edge or an adult age.
- 27:03I like that. I really like I think and I
- 27:06think that's a reason why it's sad that it's not talked about
- 27:11more of the story because I think I think I was talking
- 27:14about this on Silver Nemesis like my favorite story that
- 27:16happens Patrol. You say they have control.
- 27:18Someone get old Yes, the count one but the Candyman people
- 27:21don't realize about the whole, you know, the whole thing of if
- 27:28you happy, if you're not happy, you get killed and it's a bit
- 27:30like the same with this. You go to the sun making the
- 27:32artist, the one of that taxes in The Collector.
- 27:35But people forget that you've got all this stuff, you've got
- 27:39you've got all the sort of suicide at the beginning and
- 27:42then the Revolution and all this stuff which is very dark for.
- 27:45I can't believe anyone could watch like the happiness.
- 27:47Patrol is a sin. A Treatise on the necessity of
- 27:51grief. Like yeah, the the the whole
- 27:55point is that scene at the end where she breaks down, over the
- 27:59death of Fifi after pretending to be happy, you know, so long
- 28:05and a virus like the seam between the doctor and the
- 28:09snipers like Yes. Oh yeah, this.
- 28:13I mean it funny. Look on the guy's face when he
- 28:18realizes that the Dogs Out. They are the worst tables ever.
- 28:29Ian Harvey was he? Yeah, I feel like he was one of
- 28:33the key reasons. Why did you
- 28:50what about lovey-dove local? Olive Worland.
- 28:53I've gone to another show. I'm talking about that.
- 28:55Irish ones. Ballack has angel that seen that
- 29:00I think they're about 50 years apart.
- 29:06This pair. Yeah, we're involving public
- 29:08steaming but now we're with you because you're pointing a gun at
- 29:10me. Oh my God.
- 29:12Watch this. Watch them go around this called
- 29:14are now what's really interesting is Daddy Simpson is
- 29:21doing comedy music in this story and he has a really led into
- 29:26that before this season, like it during the Hinchcliffe years is
- 29:30all very atmospheric scores. and it is very like, I'm against it.
- 29:42Yeah, I guess. Yeah.
- 29:45But are you a story? A couple of horrifying Rock and
- 29:48that's really atmospheric music and and then you get something
- 29:51like this, it must be great for him as well to be able to do
- 29:55different things with it. I mean, the worst music, a derp
- 29:59derp derp derp to know. I couldn't I didn't have any
- 30:43signal. I could have been really awkward
- 30:45for the rest of the convention for you.
- 30:49I only got saved for someone that I worked there.
- 30:52I kept seeing the whole weekend, I said to my light, it gets this
- 30:54point with a marriage because out everywhere you go, you're
- 30:57there. There's a pretty nice tall.
- 30:58As you know, I always say you can rate somewhere on the, on
- 31:01the quality of the loose now, right?
- 31:04I don't know why I'm whispering. What if they're going to listen
- 31:07to this? They got listen to it.
- 31:09No people did dumps him over because I always stank when I
- 31:12was in the air. So you're not eating what you're
- 31:17listening to this? To my eyes were watering the
- 31:19whole time. I was in there, that just wasn't
- 31:22the smoke and then you seen the average doctor anytime, right?
- 31:25I thinking I'm sure they can do it impressive poke, Jesus
- 31:35Christ. That's why people come to this
- 31:42story. That I know, but Okay, so the
- 31:47steering is in progress. Is that the Cliffhanger where
- 31:52she's rolled in? See?
- 31:54That's, that's a good Cliffhanger.
- 31:56And, and that's the final line. The moment of satisfaction, as
- 32:00you know what, this episode for an episode 03, that was a bit of
- 32:05momentum. Doesn't it?
- 32:06Like, the rebels are now? The doctor side legal is in
- 32:10Mortal. Peril stuffs happening.
- 32:13Yeah. It's very rare for pottery
- 32:14normally. It's normally a lot of
- 32:15exposition, but I should we did that in episode 1.
- 32:18A lot of the same, same was an episode.
- 32:20But, you know, What I think Robert Holmes is really good.
- 32:23Exposition, oh yeah. I mean, I would say a couple of
- 32:30histories of rubbish but every other one is near perfect.
- 32:35Have you ever been to like a like a gay song, wanna know?
- 32:41Okay. And what he says they're about,
- 32:45you know, not the same at all. No sense of a shared experience.
- 32:50He's right. He's right there is something in
- 32:52looks like going to the cinema as well, like the shared
- 32:54experience of watching a film. Yeah, well, the theater, I
- 32:58should have led with that. Really not a sauna.
- 33:01People are judging you as we speak, people are judging me all
- 33:04the time Army. That's the best way to be.
- 33:12That's why we love you. Yeah.
- 33:14Well, you are getting five minutes.
- 33:15We've talked about poo and gay sauna.
- 33:17So there's and torture porn. Wow.
- 33:22Yeah. Like we're close.
- 33:24You got, we've got five minutes left.
- 33:26What else can we throw it? I'm such a good doctor is and we
- 33:31need to just do you think begonia?
- 33:34Pope should have received a fashion award for that scarf and
- 33:38up said 100%. So iconic, isn't it?
- 33:42I mean, you What am I work at the moment?
- 33:45A lot of my friends don't watch Doctor Who but they all know,
- 33:47Tom Baker, mmm. If they don't know by name they
- 33:50gave it all. We know him Scott.
- 33:53Oh he is going on a little ride all now hours.
- 33:56We go and deadly Simpsons. Game a door, we go giggles I see
- 34:07that's, you know, the way that that kind of set where she's
- 34:09rolled in like that, that's quite quite tasty, but it is me.
- 34:18It's all men Gathering to watch a woman, be tortured.
- 34:22And that pretty and my stuff. Well, mourn is messed up.
- 34:28Let's be honest, the second date.
- 34:29They, they come for her. She's like, I want to join the
- 34:32revolution. Maybe they'll be a secret where
- 34:36she's she portrays them, maybe not as because she's in her own
- 34:41spin-off, show, Mom, and coddle got call you.
- 34:48Well, they're ramping up attention.
- 34:50Yo, I love it when it is, On the DVD commentary for this and this
- 34:56happens. Tom Baker goes darling.
- 34:58I'm coming. I'm coming.
- 35:01Would you like I've got a question for you though on the
- 35:02back of this Cliff Hanger, because I've always said, like
- 35:05the unless they're really well done.
- 35:08And that is really well done. The kind of the companion and
- 35:10dr. Imperil Cliff hangers are a bit
- 35:12naff because you kind of know they're going to get out of it
- 35:16but like as a young man as a teenager or even younger
- 35:21watching this, did you really get behind this cliffhanger?
- 35:24As I did, they genuinely excite you and make you wonder, they
- 35:27were going to make it out. I remember watching remembrance
- 35:30of the Daleks was about three or four.
- 35:32It was the Second Story I've ever watched.
- 35:35And that first the first two Cliffhangers of that I ran
- 35:40behind the sofa. And well, I ran funds are put
- 35:44some, put my head under a cushion and I genuinely didn't
- 35:47know if they were going to be there.
- 35:50I can read it no no Sylvester McCoy was going to survive and I
- 35:55have three tribes. I had my first visceral Custer
- 35:58of reaction to television in Battlefield episode 2, which is
- 36:01the first episode I saw when Ace was drowning because as a what
- 36:08would I've been lying? So I'll switch acquire old but I
- 36:11was always a young 9. I was living a very shallow
- 36:13childhood as a nine-year-old. I could not see how she could
- 36:17get out of that situation so I was Vince that that lovely girl
- 36:21that I was on this adventure with was a drought and so Mary
- 36:26Whitehouse might have had a point.
- 36:28Yeah, well I think also it depends on what because anger
- 36:31is. I mean there are some like case
- 36:32of a only where they get shot. Hmm.
- 36:35They actually get shot. It's quite a shocker.
- 36:37But, you know, when they have a gun and they're like, I'm going
- 36:39to kill you now got from the state where it's like the Saif
- 36:44over his head. You're like, really?
- 36:45Yeah, you're clearly not going to chop off.
- 36:47Doctor whose heads, like let's go.
- 36:49Exactly. Some of them are actually so
- 36:51well done. I think companion want work
- 36:53better than they do doctors. But I mean like Android Evasion,
- 36:58for example, it's got that great one, where she takes the mask
- 37:02off, and not face comes off, doesn't it?
- 37:05That's great. And then the next episode,
- 37:07you've got Sarah Jane going back by duct tape or something like
- 37:17that. I think that's quite the other
- 37:18one. I always loved.
- 37:20Was leader in Talent, you know where she gets it, right by
- 37:24English. As I say that would get me back
- 37:28at the same time, next week to watch it.
- 37:32There are certain Cliffhangers like that which I was thinking
- 37:35of just perfect. Do you know the fabulous Twitter
- 37:40account lit? Roundels Darren 79.
- 37:45So he did a wonderful thing a while back, or he doesn't so
- 37:49many wonderful things. They did a wonderful thing a
- 37:51while back where he put Jon pertwee's.
- 37:54I Am the Doctor music as the Cliffhanger like outro.
- 38:00So I feel like Since we're finishing with a song.
- 38:04That no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no it on, and on,
- 38:09and on and I cross the void beyond the mind won't be empty
- 38:15sets the circles time I see where other stumble blind, if
- 38:23you see a man with long gray hair,
