1
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:33.299
Hello and welcome back to Flight Through Entirety, the only Doctor

2
00:00:33.299 --> 00:00:36.479
Who podcast, which has served this country for 7 generations, but

3
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:38.100
that seems not to count for much these days.

4
00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:38.939
I am Brendan.

5
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.939
I'm Nathan And I'm that order of pizza marinari.

6
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:46.140
You called for, which is so many great plot lines started so

7
00:00:46.140 --> 00:00:46.920
similarly, didn't they?

8
00:00:46.979 --> 00:00:48.119
That's not for here.

9
00:00:48.179 --> 00:00:49.439
Although is it?

10
00:00:49.619 --> 00:00:53.039
I think we've actually reached carry-on doctor, haven't we?

11
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:54.179
We have indeed.

12
00:00:54.539 --> 00:00:59.100
And so we're carrying on up the Khyber right up to Scotland via

13
00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:01.320
Sussex for Terror of the Zygons.

14
00:01:01.380 --> 00:01:02.280
Hang on, what's that?

15
00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:14.640
Isn't that Douglas Canfield singing that little dirgy ditty right

16
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:14.819
now?

17
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.599
Because, you know, it's Dougie Canfield singing when Oqui Angus is

18
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:19.859
polishing up his eyeballs.

19
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.439
Polishing up Broton's remote eyeballs.

20
00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:24.900
Yeah, yeah, yeah, on the on the 11th stagger.

21
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:28.500
Do you think there's a listener alive or indeed past who hasn't

22
00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:28.980
seen this story?

23
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.700
Because I know our chums in Canadian haven't heard, haven't seen

24
00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:33.299
it yet, have they?

25
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:33.959
Have they not?

26
00:01:34.019 --> 00:01:34.379
No.

27
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:39.900
It was the last DVD to be released, wasn't it, in the DVD?

28
00:01:39.900 --> 00:01:43.560
Until the Philip Morris extravaganza, which were too...

29
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:44.640
But it was certainly very late.

30
00:01:44.700 --> 00:01:48.239
And people were asking, why, why is this coming so late?

31
00:01:48.299 --> 00:01:52.019
It was always intended to be the last of the classic BBC range.

32
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.920
And then the Philip Morris rediscoveries, which we're still

33
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.439
promised, 16 or 17?

34
00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:03.180
Well, now even Tom Spielsbury has said that he firmly believes

35
00:02:03.180 --> 00:02:04.620
there is nothing left to come back.

36
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:05.819
Right.

37
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.859
Oh that's for another podcast.

38
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.520
Anyway, we talked about all this.

39
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:15.539
Back with back in around episode 15 to 20.

40
00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:18.300
We're not still bitter that we don't have enough Patrick and our

41
00:02:18.300 --> 00:02:18.840
lives, are we?

42
00:02:18.900 --> 00:02:20.520
No, no, don't be silly.

43
00:02:20.580 --> 00:02:21.060
Moving on.

44
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:22.919
Richard, terror of the Zygons is yours.

45
00:02:22.979 --> 00:02:24.780
It's funny you should mention Patrick.

46
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.840
Isn't this actually an Avengers story that just happens to have

47
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.000
the doctor in it again?

48
00:02:30.060 --> 00:02:31.800
Oh, hang on, it's Robert Banks Stewart.

49
00:02:31.860 --> 00:02:34.259
And he'll come and do this again to us at the end of the year when

50
00:02:34.259 --> 00:02:36.240
it's, do you know what the original plot of this was?

51
00:02:36.300 --> 00:02:36.960
What?

52
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.979
It was a gaggle, Q Gareth Roberts, if we're thinking of the well

53
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:44.400
mannered war or the English way of death, or indeed, one of the

54
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:45.900
closing time.

55
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:48.000
What are some of the news stories that Gareth has written for

56
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:48.840
Shakespeare?

57
00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:49.560
Shakespeare code.

58
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:50.580
That was fun, yeah.

59
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:52.259
The lodger, a lodger.

60
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:53.099
I love the lodger.

61
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:53.819
The lodger.

62
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.939
You know, there's trickster stories with Sarah Jane.

63
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:57.900
They look great.

64
00:02:57.960 --> 00:02:59.460
Whatever happened with Sarah Jane.

65
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:00.180
Adventures.

66
00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:03.960
Well, we know she's hanging around in Surrey putting on a faux

67
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:05.280
Maggie Smith accent.

68
00:03:05.340 --> 00:03:08.939
This one, the original plot, was a story of a gaggle of eccentrics

69
00:03:08.939 --> 00:03:12.900
faking a monster attack and an attempt for world domination

70
00:03:12.900 --> 00:03:14.400
inverted commas.

71
00:03:14.460 --> 00:03:17.280
If that's not a Diana Rig story, I don't know what it is.

72
00:03:17.340 --> 00:03:18.840
Sounds like a robot.

73
00:03:18.900 --> 00:03:22.740
Well, Pat probably makes Yeah, but Robert B. Stewart was did seem

74
00:03:22.740 --> 00:03:24.960
to be a bit miffed that he'd kind of been excised from the

75
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.979
Avengers when Terry Nation. in fact, took over script editing in

76
00:03:28.979 --> 00:03:30.780
the Tara King Linda Thorson season.

77
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.740
And so, and Bank Stewart was kind of given a bit of an elbow.

78
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.800
So maybe there are a few old plots hanging around.

79
00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:41.099
But in the early days, yes, that was the vision of this, but it

80
00:03:41.099 --> 00:03:44.580
soon turned into something a hell of a lot more exciting.

81
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:49.800
You know, it wasn't even called the Zygote Zygons thing with just

82
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.020
look at what the Zygons are, because I think this story is totally

83
00:03:52.020 --> 00:03:53.759
fantastic, for 3 things.

84
00:03:53.819 --> 00:03:57.840
It's the way the central cast just work together so brilliantly

85
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.699
and stretch themselves out in new ways.

86
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.939
Harry is kind of amazing in this, really, probably the best you'll

87
00:04:02.939 --> 00:04:07.439
ever be, simply by being anti-hairy, you know, what a shame he

88
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.879
didn't get going to Zita Minor and doing a rumba with the with the

89
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:13.560
shower curtain monster that would have been right.

90
00:04:13.620 --> 00:04:14.039
Could.

91
00:04:14.099 --> 00:04:15.120
Could have only improved it.

92
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.139
He will get to come back and be evil again.

93
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.300
Yes, when Doctor Who reboots.

94
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:25.680
Doctor Who reboots the zombie apocalypse by having a much loved

95
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.060
preseasonal, you know, previous season companion who was

96
00:04:30.060 --> 00:04:33.420
everything we ever wanted to be act as if he's a walking cadaver

97
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:34.259
terrible.

98
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:37.379
But to where we are, timey points.

99
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:41.879
Yes, the 2nd one is the location and the secondary cast.

100
00:04:41.939 --> 00:04:44.519
I don't want to call them the extras because they shine as

101
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:45.779
brilliantly and brightly.

102
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.600
Oh, Duke of Fogel, you've won my heart.

103
00:04:48.660 --> 00:04:49.680
Never leave me.

104
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:51.899
John, wouldn't it?

105
00:04:51.899 --> 00:04:53.759
is just... wouldn't you?

106
00:04:54.300 --> 00:04:56.459
Isn't he brilliant?

107
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.259
There's always the saturnine surly.

108
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:02.160
You realise it's broke on picking them up in his red land Range

109
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:02.519
Rover.

110
00:05:02.579 --> 00:05:07.980
Number 3 is design and especially costume design and really glam

111
00:05:07.980 --> 00:05:09.480
rock foetuses.

112
00:05:09.540 --> 00:05:12.959
The same sort of pink things we used to put our bath soaps on in

113
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.000
the 70s that had little suction cups all over the mat.

114
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.899
That's the little zigon foetal things.

115
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:20.040
It was zigon footpads.

116
00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:21.000
That's what they.

117
00:05:21.060 --> 00:05:21.839
It looks beautiful.

118
00:05:21.899 --> 00:05:24.240
It was it's James Atcheson again, isn't it?

119
00:05:24.300 --> 00:05:28.920
And set design is Nigel Curzon, whom we love and admired.

120
00:05:28.980 --> 00:05:32.220
So it's through the deleted scene. yes It's frocking up.

121
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:33.899
You know what this was meant to be, don't you?

122
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.000
This was Dougie's own insertion.

123
00:05:36.060 --> 00:05:38.939
Canfield's own insertion as the tail end to his very 1st unit

124
00:05:38.939 --> 00:05:42.120
story invasion, where the TARDIS appears invisible in a cow

125
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:42.480
field.

126
00:05:42.540 --> 00:05:43.800
Yes, that's very true.

127
00:05:43.860 --> 00:05:46.019
And it was Canfield's on mage to that.

128
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:46.800
So, do you get it?

129
00:05:46.860 --> 00:05:47.339
Do you get it?

130
00:05:47.459 --> 00:05:51.660
It was in the novelisation, so I was always aware of the scene, but

131
00:05:51.660 --> 00:05:52.500
it was never in the show.

132
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.199
My favourite thing about it, there's 2 great things about it, I

133
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:55.439
think.

134
00:05:55.500 --> 00:05:59.220
And one is that Tom knows he's in Scotland because he's dressed

135
00:05:59.220 --> 00:05:59.759
for it.

136
00:05:59.819 --> 00:06:01.560
That's what he says.

137
00:06:01.620 --> 00:06:02.579
I'm best for it.

138
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.980
And there's a little moment where Sarah and Harry are there and

139
00:06:04.980 --> 00:06:06.839
they're just speculating about where they could be.

140
00:06:06.899 --> 00:06:08.339
They could be anywhere in the world.

141
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.980
They could be in a forest in sort of eastern Europe or something.

142
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:11.699
Sussex.

143
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.439
Yeah, so small, aren't they?

144
00:06:13.500 --> 00:06:14.699
But that's kind of nice.

145
00:06:14.819 --> 00:06:15.839
I think it is a good scene.

146
00:06:15.899 --> 00:06:18.540
And I think it does, it looks all right on the DVD, doesn't it?

147
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:19.439
Yeah, I had to fix it.

148
00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:20.699
The colourisation is so good.

149
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:25.680
I believe it was colorised by Stuart Humphreys of Babel Colour, who

150
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.540
also worked on the Mind of Evil episode one colourisation, which

151
00:06:30.540 --> 00:06:32.399
yeah, exactly for which we adore him.

152
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.699
But it's...

153
00:06:35.699 --> 00:06:38.879
It's one of those things where you can see why it was cut out.

154
00:06:38.939 --> 00:06:41.279
It doesn't move the plot anywhere at all.

155
00:06:41.339 --> 00:06:44.939
It's just this charming character moment between these 3 people.

156
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.139
And I think had terror of the Zigons not been held back because it

157
00:06:49.139 --> 00:06:52.139
was meant to go out immediately after Avenge of the Zigons.

158
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:55.139
I think they might have kept it if it had been the following week

159
00:06:55.139 --> 00:06:58.500
because as you were saying through most of last season, Nathan

160
00:06:58.500 --> 00:07:02.879
yeah, our 3 heroes go through some really horrible stuff. in that

161
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:07.019
arc of stories from arc and space through to Revenge of the

162
00:07:07.019 --> 00:07:07.500
Cybermen.

163
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:10.500
So to have them land and have this little scene where they're

164
00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:11.339
going, oh, where are we?

165
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:12.360
I'm dressed for Scotland.

166
00:07:12.420 --> 00:07:13.319
So we're in Scotland.

167
00:07:13.379 --> 00:07:18.240
It's a fun little moment, but yeah, we don't, it only adds putting

168
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:18.779
it back in.

169
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:22.800
We don't, we aren't bereft because the rest of the story is so

170
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:23.579
amazing anyway.

171
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.519
Although as a young viewer, I really loved that they just came

172
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.639
traipse and trolling out of the woods, cough, cough, together

173
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:30.839
wearing each other's clothes.

174
00:07:30.899 --> 00:07:33.000
It set up a great...

175
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:33.959
Yeah, yeah.

176
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.060
And it's also that they might have been, they might indeed have

177
00:07:36.060 --> 00:07:37.379
been a whole other adventure.

178
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.199
We promulgated and probably used that word because we were those

179
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:42.720
sorts of children in the playground the next day.

180
00:07:42.779 --> 00:07:43.980
Remember that?

181
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:45.000
I was saying, well, what had they been?

182
00:07:45.060 --> 00:07:46.259
Perhaps there'd been a whole other adventure.

183
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.240
Do you realise before we move into the story?

184
00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:50.339
Because this is just one of the things that's just too exciting to

185
00:07:50.339 --> 00:07:52.920
not take the scenic route around the banks of the loch.

186
00:07:52.980 --> 00:07:55.500
Do you realise that Sir Peter Scott?

187
00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:00.000
Peter Scott was a conservatist, and he was scanning the lock, as

188
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.600
he did, so he's something of an eccentric, released a sonar shot

189
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.800
of what looked like a fin, or more technically correct, a fluke of

190
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:09.899
a large sea creature in Loch Ness.

191
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.319
And he immediately had it, and Nathan, you can correct us on our

192
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:19.259
Latin, immediately had it declared Necetarius rhomboopterics, which

193
00:08:19.259 --> 00:08:22.259
as far as I know, means something called Nessie that's got a

194
00:08:22.259 --> 00:08:23.339
rhomboid fin.

195
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:25.620
Yeah, rhombo.

196
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:26.939
But then he did...

197
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.939
Yeah, well, we certainly never got to that bit. so it could be

198
00:08:29.939 --> 00:08:31.439
declared an endangered species.

199
00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:33.779
And it was a wee little thing.

200
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.080
It wasn't the size of, you know, because I don't honestly think

201
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.080
that the garrison would be able to flaunt it about, not

202
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:40.919
necessarily a bit too big.

203
00:08:40.980 --> 00:08:43.259
This is Loctes isn't that...

204
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:44.820
Well yes, but it's not it's not that deep.

205
00:08:44.940 --> 00:08:46.259
It's a bit too stop motion.

206
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:47.460
A bit too stop motion.

207
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.740
But yeah, all these really lovely, interesting things were going

208
00:08:49.740 --> 00:08:53.340
on, and then, of course, this is the perfect setting, and of

209
00:08:53.340 --> 00:08:55.200
course, you haven't mentioned Santa for yet, and we haven't had a

210
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:55.440
drink.

211
00:08:55.500 --> 00:08:57.659
This is the winter season.

212
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.799
And as a boy, we had a very cold winter in Sydney that year, and I

213
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:04.860
remember running home from school through fields, not unlike.

214
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:06.779
Yes, we had fields even in freshwater.

215
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:11.820
And I'm thinking about the coldness of this season, and this

216
00:09:11.820 --> 00:09:15.240
particular story, and it really bit in, and it won it, on that

217
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:19.740
under level, and Santa has talked about autumnal themes, being

218
00:09:19.740 --> 00:09:22.799
about the internal dialogue, and being about the world inside

219
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.379
which is why you don't get a lot of great horror stories set on

220
00:09:25.379 --> 00:09:29.580
beaches. tends to be about woodsy, colder places where the mind

221
00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:30.840
turns in on itself.

222
00:09:30.899 --> 00:09:35.399
This story also does a lovely thing of the silky folk, which do

223
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:37.620
sound like something Nathan would have just bought as a pet.

224
00:09:37.740 --> 00:09:42.120
But these were the seals in Scottish Legend, the seals who would

225
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:46.320
occasionally assume human form, very much like the English fairy

226
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:46.740
stories.

227
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:49.139
And the fairy folk were not the little things dancing in the

228
00:09:49.139 --> 00:09:49.919
bottom of your garden.

229
00:09:49.980 --> 00:09:53.100
They swapped human children for their own folk who were

230
00:09:53.100 --> 00:09:56.279
changelings so that they could move about in the real world as

231
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:56.519
well.

232
00:09:56.580 --> 00:09:59.460
It's a perfect Zigon story. quite beautiful.

233
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:03.000
Oh, Sarah can't read mediaeval Latin in this one.

234
00:10:03.059 --> 00:10:04.080
Did you notice it in the library?

235
00:10:04.139 --> 00:10:05.460
pretty disappointed, actually.

236
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.320
But she can in the ghosts event space.

237
00:10:07.379 --> 00:10:08.700
Did you all go away and listen to that?

238
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:10.500
Obviously boned up on it.

239
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:11.879
That can't be right.

240
00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:12.899
That's set beforehand.

241
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.960
Why would anybody listen to the Ghost of Inspace?

242
00:10:16.019 --> 00:10:18.480
It's almost like someone on this podcast recommend it?

243
00:10:19.259 --> 00:10:21.659
There are a lot of Scottish things here.

244
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:22.860
You know what I mean?

245
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:24.000
So we recreate it.

246
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:25.200
I'm wearing tartan as we speak.

247
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:25.980
So it's weird.

248
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:31.139
We recreate the opening moment of the sea devils, don't we?

249
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.539
Only with a with a oil rig.

250
00:10:33.659 --> 00:10:38.100
And infinitely superior music from the wonderful pen and

251
00:10:38.100 --> 00:10:40.740
conductor's baton of Jeffrey Burton.

252
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:42.960
Thanks for signing Jeffrey Bergen, because that's the reason this

253
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:43.799
story ultimately works.

254
00:10:43.860 --> 00:10:46.440
The costumes are beautiful, but the music is everything. and look

255
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:47.399
at seeds of doom again.

256
00:10:47.460 --> 00:10:50.159
Canfield and Bergen are a winning combo, aren't they?

257
00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:52.379
And we have to thank for this.

258
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:57.299
The old 1960s misunderstanding between Dougie Canfield and Dudley

259
00:10:57.299 --> 00:11:00.179
Simpson, meaning Canfield never wanted to work with Simpson again

260
00:11:00.179 --> 00:11:00.960
and thus didn't.

261
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:02.340
They realised there was a reason.

262
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:04.080
I thought he just wanted to put his own texture.

263
00:11:04.139 --> 00:11:04.860
No, no.

264
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.440
Apparently, apparently there was a dinner party after Planet of

265
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.840
Giants because that was the thing that the 2 of them worked on.

266
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.259
I believe they did also work on the crusade as well.

267
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:14.039
Oh okay.

268
00:11:14.100 --> 00:11:19.740
But they had a dinner party and I think Canfield asked Simpson how

269
00:11:19.740 --> 00:11:21.000
much he how much money he made.

270
00:11:21.059 --> 00:11:26.460
I think it was, it was a bit more presumptuous on Campfield's

271
00:11:26.460 --> 00:11:26.759
part.

272
00:11:26.820 --> 00:11:27.419
Apparently.

273
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:29.340
Yes, he did ask Dudley how much do you make?

274
00:11:29.340 --> 00:11:30.600
And Dudley said, oh, I make this much.

275
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:32.220
But then he asked Sudley, where do you live?

276
00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:34.860
And Camfield thought, well, that's a very expensive area of

277
00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:35.340
London.

278
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:40.740
He's either lied to me about his wage or he's come he's come

279
00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:42.600
across the money in some other way and I don't deal with people

280
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:43.500
who are dishonest.

281
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:47.100
And it turned out to be something like Dudley or his wife had

282
00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:50.759
inherited the house or inherited some money to buy the house.

283
00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:53.759
So, you know, there was nothing untoward going on at all, but for

284
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.360
some reason that really got Dougie's backup, possibly because, you

285
00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:59.879
know, he was a very straight down the line, ex-military man.

286
00:11:59.940 --> 00:12:03.179
Yeah, but I think also part of Canfield's brilliance and his

287
00:12:03.179 --> 00:12:05.100
curmudgeonliness is his very short temper.

288
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:08.460
So that's why he was able to cut through the dross very quickly

289
00:12:08.460 --> 00:12:09.659
and get things done.

290
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:12.899
It also meant he his decision was the only one where there was any

291
00:12:12.899 --> 00:12:16.860
truth, which also made perhaps not the easiest of guests to deal

292
00:12:16.860 --> 00:12:17.460
with.

293
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:18.899
But he and Tom got on very well.

294
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:20.519
I mean, quite similar.

295
00:12:20.580 --> 00:12:22.320
Tom is very...

296
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:24.539
Yeah, but that later on, that might not have been the way when

297
00:12:24.539 --> 00:12:27.240
there was no Philip Hinchcliffe to keep Tom in his box.

298
00:12:27.299 --> 00:12:27.960
Yes.

299
00:12:28.019 --> 00:12:29.940
As we'll get to later on.

300
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:33.299
I really can't go past the Duke of Fogel and Broton.

301
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.460
And I honestly believe, Nathan, you were saying earlier, that

302
00:12:35.460 --> 00:12:39.059
there is no Duke of Fogel. just broton mincing about all the time

303
00:12:39.059 --> 00:12:40.559
having a lovely time.

304
00:12:40.620 --> 00:12:41.519
Right, from the very beginning.

305
00:12:41.580 --> 00:12:46.080
It's very clear that it's because remember Angus McCrannold.

306
00:12:46.139 --> 00:12:47.639
I'm not going to do that again.

307
00:12:48.299 --> 00:12:54.840
Who is the terribly camp landlord of the Fox Inn, isn't it?

308
00:12:54.899 --> 00:12:58.200
Hello, fox. that so much.

309
00:12:58.259 --> 00:12:59.700
That's been shot.

310
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:02.039
They really should they should have really had their own little

311
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:03.480
spinoff series, shouldn't they?

312
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:08.639
with Broton and Angus running and the cable in the fox in, running

313
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:13.019
their own painting and decorating business from polishing up the

314
00:13:13.019 --> 00:13:13.440
eyeballs.

315
00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:16.620
Despite the fact he doesn't have a boyfriend in this one, like he

316
00:13:16.620 --> 00:13:20.100
did on the Ice Warriors, he's still as campus ever, and he's

317
00:13:20.100 --> 00:13:20.279
wonderful.

318
00:13:20.340 --> 00:13:23.639
Campus Garrison lactic outlets, yeah.

319
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:25.259
Oh, more of that light.

320
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:30.600
Yeah, because he's already delivered the stag's head, the bugged

321
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:32.220
stag's head to the fox.

322
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:33.179
Yes.

323
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.539
So he's been he has been brought on for a long time.

324
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:39.659
But he is just hilarious.

325
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.059
And, you know, like, why does he pick them up in the car?

326
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:44.100
You know, I think he drove up.

327
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:46.980
He comes over to pick a fight with Mr. Huckleham to deliver some

328
00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:48.840
valuable exposition, I think.

329
00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:53.519
But otherwise, you know, he's just gone.

330
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:54.539
In the shape of a haggis.

331
00:13:55.379 --> 00:13:57.840
And we have a haggis mention.

332
00:13:57.899 --> 00:14:00.059
We even do in the 1st thing.

333
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:04.200
So the 1st thing the guy talks about haggis, he says Disney can

334
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:05.580
instead of doesn't know.

335
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.899
You know, we've got Angus Rennie playing the bagpipes upstairs.

336
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.240
You've got the brigadier in a kilt.

337
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:16.379
You know, it's it's, I mean, it is a kind of ludicrous theme park

338
00:14:16.379 --> 00:14:17.220
version of Scotland.

339
00:14:17.340 --> 00:14:20.399
Well, we've done it to the Welsh, haven't we?

340
00:14:20.460 --> 00:14:20.940
We have.

341
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:23.700
With the Welsh, it was a bit more insulting because...

342
00:14:23.700 --> 00:14:24.840
Nobody respects them anyway.

343
00:14:24.899 --> 00:14:25.860
Well, no.

344
00:14:25.860 --> 00:14:29.759
It's kind of what was coming across. about redheads again, I'm

345
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:30.120
leaving.

346
00:14:30.779 --> 00:14:34.500
I think I think because there were real political concerns and

347
00:14:34.500 --> 00:14:36.480
political issues that were addressed in the group.

348
00:14:36.539 --> 00:14:38.580
There certainly were, but there certainly were in Scotland at the

349
00:14:38.580 --> 00:14:39.120
time as well.

350
00:14:39.179 --> 00:14:42.419
The North Sea gas and oil, where they were talking about

351
00:14:42.419 --> 00:14:45.779
separation, just as they have done this year, and it was, and part

352
00:14:45.779 --> 00:14:49.740
of that in the Scottish Parliament was how the dramas and how the

353
00:14:49.740 --> 00:14:54.840
stuff we get on Scottish TV for our children completely dissembles

354
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:57.539
and makes fun of Scotland, and then this goes out.

355
00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:03.240
But I do think it's only very, vaguely political in a way that

356
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:04.799
Green Death wasn't Green Death.

357
00:15:04.860 --> 00:15:07.379
Green Death was very definitely political.

358
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.980
The kind of theme parkness of the Scotland isn't quite. not a lot

359
00:15:10.980 --> 00:15:11.940
of politics in history.

360
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.820
Although there is world ecology, just as there was in Green Death

361
00:15:14.820 --> 00:15:15.179
same thing.

362
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:16.139
Yeah, yeah.

363
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:19.019
And we even get the doctor giving us the environmental moral of

364
00:15:19.019 --> 00:15:22.919
the story in the 1st episode where he chastises the brigadier for

365
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.159
calling him back to deal with an emergency oil, an emergency.

366
00:15:26.220 --> 00:15:29.519
You need to stop powering your planet with a mineral slide, but

367
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:30.360
there's your emergency.

368
00:15:30.419 --> 00:15:32.460
Start looking at hydrogen dimension in this one.

369
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:34.080
No, no, he will mention next story.

370
00:15:34.139 --> 00:15:35.340
He'll mention an alternative.

371
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:36.779
Oh, it actually does mention that.

372
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:38.879
I think he mentions hydrogen because that's been in the news this

373
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:41.399
year as well. something that may well be.

374
00:15:41.460 --> 00:15:45.240
And just this morning, I watched the last in the current run of

375
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.779
the new Thunderbirds ago, which featured the Supreme Hadron

376
00:15:48.779 --> 00:15:49.320
Collider.

377
00:15:49.379 --> 00:15:52.860
Wow, it's gone from large...

378
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:54.960
Isn't that just Diana Ross's new readers?

379
00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:59.700
Diana Ross is a nuclear physicist.

380
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:01.320
Danger in Cincinnati.

381
00:16:01.379 --> 00:16:03.539
It'll be a chain reaction if you don't watch it.

382
00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:10.679
Oh, usually we only get this far off topic if there's nothing to

383
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:13.080
talk about in the story, but I think this story just has so much.

384
00:16:13.139 --> 00:16:14.399
It's so big, this is the thing.

385
00:16:14.460 --> 00:16:15.899
Yeah, well, let's let's go back.

386
00:16:15.899 --> 00:16:17.639
Let's do your checklist.

387
00:16:17.700 --> 00:16:19.740
I don't have a checklist this time.

388
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:22.139
It's not Terry Nation then. one coming up.

389
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:25.799
But let's look, because we do get hints of the aliens already.

390
00:16:25.860 --> 00:16:29.700
So we don't we get the normal F1 end of episode one alien reveal

391
00:16:29.700 --> 00:16:31.559
where we actually see...

392
00:16:31.620 --> 00:16:33.600
Yeah, and for once it's incredibly effective.

393
00:16:33.659 --> 00:16:36.120
I think it's more effective than when the Daleks turn up because

394
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:37.919
we don't know what a Zygon looks like.

395
00:16:37.980 --> 00:16:40.019
We've had a few hints and grabs in there.

396
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:43.860
And also it's attacking Sarah, so there's a cliffhanger moment.

397
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:49.379
It zooms in on its face, the face is for human expectations, the

398
00:16:49.379 --> 00:16:51.419
face is underdeveloped and malformed.

399
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:55.379
It's an incredibly effective cliffhanger using the old Doctor Who

400
00:16:55.379 --> 00:16:59.220
trope of let's reveal the monster at the end of episode one.

401
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:00.600
It is really effective.

402
00:17:00.659 --> 00:17:02.820
And of course, it's beautifully shot by Dougie Campfield.

403
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:06.180
But in the lead up to that, we actually see that the inn is being

404
00:17:06.180 --> 00:17:10.500
bugged and so you get a sort of stag head eye view of what's going

405
00:17:10.500 --> 00:17:12.059
on in the Fox Inn.

406
00:17:12.059 --> 00:17:15.059
And you get the hands manipulating the controls.

407
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.359
And I have a Doctor Who club at school and we watch this a little

408
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:23.039
while ago and the kids just roared with laughter at these rubbery

409
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:25.799
hands manipulating the controls.

410
00:17:25.859 --> 00:17:28.619
It really is just incredibly rude looking.

411
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:30.900
How did they respond when Tom got to it?

412
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.779
There's nothing of it that's real love right there.

413
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:34.859
Yeah, yeah.

414
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:35.819
And you know what?

415
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:39.420
It looks like when he's performing that scene that Tom actually

416
00:17:39.420 --> 00:17:42.420
hasn't seen the console before because the smiley gets through his

417
00:17:42.420 --> 00:17:42.599
face.

418
00:17:42.660 --> 00:17:43.740
I don't think that's the doctor.

419
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:46.200
That's Tom's only going, hold on.

420
00:17:46.259 --> 00:17:48.000
This looks like, okay, keep it together.

421
00:17:48.059 --> 00:17:48.900
I'll keep it.

422
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:50.759
Oh, I'm having so much fun.

423
00:17:52.259 --> 00:17:55.259
I'm never ordering pizza marinara.

424
00:17:55.740 --> 00:17:58.259
And of course, that end of episode one.

425
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:01.140
Cliffhanger takes place in the hospital because Harry has been

426
00:18:01.140 --> 00:18:05.819
shot because by Nurse Ratchet from one flew over the cooker's nest

427
00:18:05.819 --> 00:18:08.519
with a Scottish accent, same difference.

428
00:18:08.579 --> 00:18:10.799
It's the same part, isn't it?

429
00:18:10.859 --> 00:18:11.460
Just the same actress.

430
00:18:11.579 --> 00:18:15.779
And we don't quite know why he's he turns up. pretty brutal

431
00:18:15.779 --> 00:18:16.079
though.

432
00:18:16.140 --> 00:18:19.440
In fact, there's some really beautiful direction there because the

433
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:22.440
1st guy who was complaining about the haggis on the oil rig

434
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:27.000
stumbles up the beach, and it's just absolutely beautifully shot.

435
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.059
Because it's directly lifted from the Avengers story, the town of

436
00:18:30.059 --> 00:18:30.660
the return.

437
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:31.380
No return.

438
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:32.519
I was just gonna say that, yeah.

439
00:18:32.579 --> 00:18:34.619
Does Campfield ever direct for the Avengers?

440
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:36.359
Yes, he does. you sure he does?

441
00:18:36.420 --> 00:18:39.900
I thought he did on the manager of Surrey Green.

442
00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:41.579
That's not that's not Duggee.

443
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.000
Yes, that does look a gorgeous thing when they come up from the

444
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:45.299
beach.

445
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.640
But that's also been in other films, lots of World War 2 films

446
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:51.180
where there was an obsession about spies coming in from the watery

447
00:18:51.180 --> 00:18:52.680
deeps, if not the cold.

448
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:56.220
It's just beautifully lit, like spectacularly lit.

449
00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.059
That guy gets shot dead and then Harry gets shot and he gets

450
00:19:00.059 --> 00:19:05.819
captured by the fabulously scary sister lamb.

451
00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:07.259
And then he could...

452
00:19:07.259 --> 00:19:09.000
I think she's scarier than Nurse Raction.

453
00:19:09.059 --> 00:19:11.640
I think she's the scariest thing to have ever been in Doctor Who

454
00:19:11.700 --> 00:19:13.440
at any time before or since.

455
00:19:13.500 --> 00:19:15.119
She's really great in episode.

456
00:19:15.180 --> 00:19:16.140
I think it's episode three.

457
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:18.660
That bed pan would be full of ice cubes.

458
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:20.400
You just know it.

459
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:23.700
Yes, the sheep.

460
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:27.660
I'm not changing our sheets again, Mr. Sullivan.

461
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:29.819
You've been a very nut tipper.

462
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:32.160
Oh, you do that so well.

463
00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:35.279
I don't think that would have been his response.

464
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.400
Harry gets taken down to the spaceship and given just the most

465
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:43.500
incredible guide and tour, I hope.

466
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:44.160
Yes, yes.

467
00:19:44.220 --> 00:19:45.240
Even if I jumping.

468
00:19:45.299 --> 00:19:47.700
We don't, we don't talk and get visitors in here.

469
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:49.440
Don't forget exchange, then here.

470
00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:52.619
Yeah, so everything shows him how to change people into other

471
00:19:52.619 --> 00:19:56.759
people, shows him the scarrison, explains about the lactic fluid.

472
00:19:56.819 --> 00:19:59.640
So do you like what we've done with the war?

473
00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:02.579
I think the lactic fluid is worth mentioning.

474
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:04.680
I think yes, a bit too much.

475
00:20:04.740 --> 00:20:06.720
What did they live on before they got to?

476
00:20:06.779 --> 00:20:09.599
Because you know it was a little embryo when they like it. were

477
00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:10.079
they living on?

478
00:20:10.140 --> 00:20:11.460
Well, I think they probably had 600.

479
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:12.720
Is it like Yakut?

480
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:15.480
of lactic fluid or fridge?

481
00:20:15.539 --> 00:20:16.859
Or powdered...

482
00:20:16.859 --> 00:20:19.680
Powdered...

483
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:21.900
Powdered scarrots and lactic fluids.

484
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:25.380
But he does mention that I'd like to think it's bonded polycarbide

485
00:20:25.380 --> 00:20:27.660
armour, but we don't actually know other than that's not the

486
00:20:27.660 --> 00:20:29.579
Scarrison's native form.

487
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:31.200
It's been armoured as a weapon.

488
00:20:31.259 --> 00:20:34.740
So I'd like to think it's just a lovely, big, never-ending story

489
00:20:34.740 --> 00:20:36.720
dragon puppy type of affair.

490
00:20:36.779 --> 00:20:40.980
So I'm going to put something in the show notes, which is from the

491
00:20:40.980 --> 00:20:44.099
TARDIS index file, from BBC America.

492
00:20:44.099 --> 00:20:48.059
And if you look up the Zygons, it actually shows a picture of the

493
00:20:48.059 --> 00:20:52.200
Scarrison, sort of coming along a conveyor belt and being milked

494
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:57.359
into milk. the galaxy star.

495
00:20:57.420 --> 00:20:58.559
Stop motion, though.

496
00:20:58.619 --> 00:21:01.980
No, no, it's like that animation from hitchhiker, it's because

497
00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:03.779
it's like a...

498
00:21:03.779 --> 00:21:04.619
It's really great.

499
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:06.960
So I will put that in the show.

500
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:10.559
I will also say that in the later big finish story.

501
00:21:10.619 --> 00:21:15.119
The Zigon who fell to Earth, there is another Scarrison. and Tim

502
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:20.400
Brooke Taylor, it plays his Zigon called Mims, and it's his job to

503
00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:21.539
milk the Scarrison.

504
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:22.500
Brilliant.

505
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:24.000
Now, is there only a truth in that?

506
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:24.779
The mink gloves.

507
00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:25.980
You've got to be terribly careful.

508
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:30.420
Is there any truth in the room, Brendan, that you used Scarrison

509
00:21:30.420 --> 00:21:34.440
lactic fluid in the creation of this month's baked good?

510
00:21:34.500 --> 00:21:35.579
I did indeed.

511
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:36.359
I did indeed.

512
00:21:36.420 --> 00:21:41.819
Dear listener, you will find on the website the recipe for Zygon

513
00:21:41.819 --> 00:21:43.079
carrot and apple muffins.

514
00:21:43.140 --> 00:21:46.500
It really did look like you were heaving into a zybron

515
00:21:46.500 --> 00:21:47.519
breastplate.

516
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:51.359
Extraordinary thing and quite beautiful and yes, I can recommend

517
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:51.660
them.

518
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:53.279
Highly, okay.

519
00:21:54.420 --> 00:21:57.839
I'm trying to work out what the Zygon Stinger.

520
00:21:57.900 --> 00:22:01.079
You know, these costumes were even better, but they are very glam

521
00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:05.339
rock, you know, pedal pushing little things, and they're gorgeous

522
00:22:05.339 --> 00:22:11.759
little Capri, latex, skinny tight jeans and cork on my high plum

523
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:12.240
salts.

524
00:22:12.299 --> 00:22:14.099
But then with the huge gorgeous head.

525
00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:16.740
But no, they, when they, they were going to light up the

526
00:22:16.740 --> 00:22:19.440
cerebellum and the chest cavity was going to light up when they

527
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:20.519
used their stinger.

528
00:22:20.579 --> 00:22:23.759
And it's such a shame we never got to see their stinger, partly A

529
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:27.059
because it caused too much heating up and B, they found the effect

530
00:22:27.059 --> 00:22:28.680
to be unworkable.

531
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:30.960
So why was it unworkable?

532
00:22:31.019 --> 00:22:33.779
Because the stinger looked like a penis.

533
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:37.559
Well, all they had to stop them in cursing.

534
00:22:37.619 --> 00:22:40.079
All they had to do was wrap it in a clue.

535
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:43.740
Because everyone knows that if you have a monster that looks like

536
00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:47.400
a penis, just wrap it in a cloak and now it looks like a penis in

537
00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:47.759
a cloak.

538
00:22:47.819 --> 00:22:48.660
Problem solved.

539
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:52.380
In amongst all this exposition we get, of course, we get the

540
00:22:52.380 --> 00:22:53.460
Trilantic activator.

541
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:55.680
And while we're, you know, pitching at fair.

542
00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:58.019
Is that the thing that sucks under, that's like a champagne cook

543
00:22:58.019 --> 00:23:00.420
that sucks onto your wrist and can crawl around the table like a

544
00:23:00.420 --> 00:23:01.380
Romy chest?

545
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:01.740
It does.

546
00:23:01.740 --> 00:23:04.859
So what they've been doing is somehow they've been attaching it to

547
00:23:04.859 --> 00:23:06.720
oil rigs where it emits...

548
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:07.859
It emits.

549
00:23:07.859 --> 00:23:09.599
Wow, amazing signal.

550
00:23:09.660 --> 00:23:13.559
And so the scarrison comes along and humps the leg of the oil

551
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:15.119
brick until you...

552
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:16.200
And choose it to death.

553
00:23:16.259 --> 00:23:18.480
I don't think I want to go on a date with this car.

554
00:23:18.539 --> 00:23:22.740
Well, yeah, aquatic creatures have some very strange mating

555
00:23:22.740 --> 00:23:23.160
rituals.

556
00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:27.660
There is a type of octopus, for instance. where the male tears off

557
00:23:27.660 --> 00:23:33.240
its penis and hurls it at the female who inseminates herself.

558
00:23:33.299 --> 00:23:35.160
I think we saw that in the state of origin.

559
00:23:36.660 --> 00:23:39.180
I believe that I believe that was the cleanest, most scientific

560
00:23:39.180 --> 00:23:40.079
way I could put it.

561
00:23:40.140 --> 00:23:41.579
Poor bloody Scarrison, though.

562
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:44.700
It's the only one on earth, unless we take into account the one

563
00:23:44.700 --> 00:23:46.019
that Big Finish later puts in.

564
00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:49.200
And every time it thinks it's going for a day, it ends up with

565
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:50.759
this anorexic oil rig.

566
00:23:50.819 --> 00:23:51.839
You know.

567
00:23:51.900 --> 00:23:54.480
It just gets covered in oil afterwards.

568
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:58.740
A date with an oleaginous Gwyneth Paltrow.

569
00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:00.359
I'm never going to turn out well, is it?

570
00:24:00.420 --> 00:24:04.740
I have a terrible soft spot for this garrison because just like

571
00:24:04.740 --> 00:24:08.400
those puppets in the late sort of per Tui era, they all seem to be

572
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.579
made out of sort of fox heads or terrier heads or something.

573
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:13.140
This one has real teeth, doesn't it?

574
00:24:13.140 --> 00:24:15.960
It has real teeth. real sort of crazy rolling eyes and it just

575
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:18.539
looks like my dog Gracie.

576
00:24:18.660 --> 00:24:21.599
And her podcasting debut on that trusty doctor episode.

577
00:24:21.660 --> 00:24:22.799
Yes, yes.

578
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:24.720
It is like a little stop motion grace.

579
00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:27.599
It's a shaved Mr. Snuffleopagus, isn't it, really?

580
00:24:27.660 --> 00:24:28.559
The way it walks as well.

581
00:24:28.619 --> 00:24:32.579
Yeah, see a lot of people kind of look at that and say, oh, no one

582
00:24:32.579 --> 00:24:33.240
makes fun of that.

583
00:24:33.299 --> 00:24:35.940
Why does everyone make fun of the dinosaurs in invasion of

584
00:24:35.940 --> 00:24:36.480
dinosaurs?

585
00:24:36.539 --> 00:24:39.660
And one, people do make fun of the scarous animal stop motion.

586
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:42.779
But I think the reason it doesn't come in for as much criticism

587
00:24:42.779 --> 00:24:43.140
is.

588
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:46.440
They learned from the mistake of the dinosaurs.

589
00:24:46.500 --> 00:24:49.079
And the dinosaurs were pretty poor puppets, whereas this is

590
00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:50.460
halfway decent stop motion.

591
00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:52.500
It's actually very good stock motion.

592
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:54.660
They just didn't have the time to do stop motion properly.

593
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:56.339
It's a really nicely done effect.

594
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:00.000
You know, if you don't have Harry Hausen, it's bloody good.

595
00:25:00.059 --> 00:25:03.299
In episode 4, it is just a puppet and they throw the last

596
00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:07.380
Trilantic activator into its mouth. and it chews really sort of

597
00:25:07.380 --> 00:25:08.039
dismally.

598
00:25:08.099 --> 00:25:12.180
And you really do expect Tim Brooke Taylor to come down the Grand

599
00:25:12.180 --> 00:25:16.500
Garden of Bilotti in a weather balloon dressed as squid.

600
00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:20.579
Now I want to see the scarrison versus kitten.

601
00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:23.039
Rod and I have been making our way through the Godzillas again on

602
00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:23.640
Blu-ray.

603
00:25:23.700 --> 00:25:25.259
So, yeah, there's a fight I want to see.

604
00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:26.519
That be amazing.

605
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:30.059
Atop the post office tower.

606
00:25:30.059 --> 00:25:31.920
Botan doing voiceovers.

607
00:25:31.980 --> 00:25:34.680
In fact, that scene, and we're kind of leaping ahead to episode 4

608
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:35.279
here a bit.

609
00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:37.980
That scene where it appears in the World Energy Conference.

610
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:40.980
It appears in front of the photograph of just the most dismal

611
00:25:40.980 --> 00:25:44.819
London office buildings by Thames in Banquet, and it just looks

612
00:25:44.819 --> 00:25:49.859
like just every aspect of the scene looks so appallingly bad, and

613
00:25:49.859 --> 00:25:51.779
I just couldn't stop smiling.

614
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:53.460
It was like the dinosaurs.

615
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:55.140
Hello, Sue Tech.

616
00:25:55.740 --> 00:25:59.460
No, your story's not from...

617
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:03.359
It was like the dinosaurs in invasion of the dinosaurs.

618
00:26:03.420 --> 00:26:04.440
I just love that so much.

619
00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:06.779
I don't care that it's a terrible effect at all.

620
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:08.819
Neither does Su Tech. that's right.

621
00:26:09.059 --> 00:26:13.200
And floating above the moor now, it sounds like someone's coming

622
00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:14.279
in and they're bubble.

623
00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:17.700
I thought it was just the telly playing up again.

624
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:19.859
Why have we got it held up from the ceiling like that?

625
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:22.380
You can never adjust the horizontal mould.

626
00:26:22.619 --> 00:26:24.299
Hi guys.

627
00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:29.099
And so at the end of this story, we say goodbye to Harry was Harry

628
00:26:29.099 --> 00:26:34.140
Sullivan's potential fulfilled, or was it the right time for the

629
00:26:34.140 --> 00:26:36.240
character to be written out?

630
00:26:36.299 --> 00:26:39.839
My space time bubble seems to be passing through some sort of

631
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:40.619
strange matter.

632
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:43.079
Maybe antimatter.

633
00:26:43.140 --> 00:26:46.559
I guess I'll see you guys on the other side.

634
00:26:46.619 --> 00:26:48.180
Evil Harry.

635
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:49.380
Evil Harry.

636
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:50.819
Yeah, we get this one.

637
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:52.380
What of Demi Harry's birthday last year?

638
00:26:53.339 --> 00:26:53.700
Really?

639
00:26:53.700 --> 00:26:55.319
She looks really good in this one, didn't she?

640
00:26:55.980 --> 00:26:59.039
Ian Marta getting a chance to be evil.

641
00:26:59.099 --> 00:27:02.039
This is also Ian Martin's last story as a regular.

642
00:27:02.099 --> 00:27:05.819
And I think this story is the biggest one that proves we could

643
00:27:05.819 --> 00:27:07.200
have easily kept him on.

644
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:11.400
I know he was brought in to be the muscle, but because of his

645
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:15.599
quality as an actor, He really rises above that and we could, and

646
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:16.200
we could have kept him.

647
00:27:16.259 --> 00:27:19.380
And the rapport with Tom as well as with Liz, it's a perfect

648
00:27:19.380 --> 00:27:20.339
triumvirate.

649
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:22.140
Normally threesomes on screen.

650
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:25.799
Don't tend to work out that well, whether it's why, again, the

651
00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:28.019
Avengers, you just have a man and a woman in most of those

652
00:27:28.019 --> 00:27:28.440
series.

653
00:27:28.500 --> 00:27:31.559
But the 3 part, 300 game is perfect.

654
00:27:31.619 --> 00:27:34.500
You know who was really pushing to keep him and wanted him to stay

655
00:27:34.500 --> 00:27:35.279
in the series.

656
00:27:35.339 --> 00:27:36.359
Douglas Canfield.

657
00:27:36.420 --> 00:27:38.039
And do you know who kept insisting?

658
00:27:38.099 --> 00:27:40.019
Not once, not twice, but exactly.

659
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:43.740
Three knocks. 3 times he had the chance. 3 times he said, no, no

660
00:27:43.740 --> 00:27:43.920
no.

661
00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:47.339
And he's the 1st one to come now and say, I really wish we'd kept

662
00:27:47.339 --> 00:27:47.880
him on.

663
00:27:47.940 --> 00:27:50.880
Don't you love, right at the end, and sorry to jump forward, but

664
00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:54.299
it's much like we do on this with this story as well.

665
00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:58.799
So yes, they've seen the monster off at World ecology HQ or, you

666
00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:00.960
know, BBC television centre beside the Thames.

667
00:28:01.019 --> 00:28:04.500
Isn't it the same point of focus that Janet Fielding finally says

668
00:28:04.500 --> 00:28:09.240
you can all bugger off at the end of resurrection, resuscitation

669
00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:10.740
genuflection.

670
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:11.759
No, it is a different location.

671
00:28:11.819 --> 00:28:14.099
It just feels the same gray, miserable 70s.

672
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:17.579
We forget how miserable 70s London was, but watch Doctor Who.

673
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:21.779
And then they all hot footed up on the train, no less, because we

674
00:28:21.779 --> 00:28:24.599
know what a unit budget is just to see the doctor off in

675
00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:25.140
Scotland.

676
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:26.700
Okay, the Duke of Fogel's got to go home.

677
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:28.619
Although somehow, where's he being all this time?

678
00:28:28.859 --> 00:28:32.700
But the brigadier and Harry and Sarah all go up with the doctor

679
00:28:32.700 --> 00:28:36.000
just I suppose just to see the doctor off because the TARDIS is up

680
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:36.180
there.

681
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:39.960
At what point does Harry decide there's no way I'm ever going back

682
00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:40.380
again?

683
00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:41.880
Is it one she's got his old clover on?

684
00:28:41.940 --> 00:28:43.500
So I'm never going back.

685
00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:44.880
Does he wear his?

686
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:45.660
Yeah, yeah, he's lucky.

687
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:46.559
He's back in full dress.

688
00:28:46.619 --> 00:28:47.940
He's back in his full drag.

689
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:49.740
This is no doctor. be catching the train.

690
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:52.140
And I just think that's such a shame.

691
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:54.180
If the brig, because the brig was offered as well.

692
00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:57.059
If the brig and Harry had stuck around, they soon would have made

693
00:28:57.059 --> 00:28:59.940
mincemeat out of his old Su Tech, wouldn't they?

694
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:01.200
It's only been one episode long.

695
00:29:01.259 --> 00:29:04.500
The brigadier went and got other work, didn't he?

696
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:07.799
He thought that he was pretty much over because remember this is

697
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:09.779
the last story of season 12, really.

698
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:10.500
That's right.

699
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:15.119
So this is his 2nd story of the year. like he's been doing the

700
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:15.900
last couple of times.

701
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:19.619
He's been doing that since sort of season 9 where unit stories top

702
00:29:19.619 --> 00:29:20.460
and tail the thing.

703
00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:25.500
I still think that it's strange that Sarah decides to get back in

704
00:29:25.500 --> 00:29:28.680
the Tartar after the horrendous time that she's had in season 12

705
00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:29.940
not making a lot of sense.

706
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:32.460
But she clearly loves the doctor and that's it.

707
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:36.299
You know, and he looks a bit forlorn when she says that she's not

708
00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:38.519
going to go with him.

709
00:29:38.579 --> 00:29:40.859
And so, you know, she decides to do that.

710
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:46.140
I also think this is a much better story for Sarah than the last

711
00:29:46.140 --> 00:29:46.559
three.

712
00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:48.359
She's a lot more proactive.

713
00:29:48.420 --> 00:29:49.680
She gets a lot more to do.

714
00:29:49.740 --> 00:29:52.500
She gets a few heroic moments as well.

715
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:55.019
I think it's just a bit less horrendous too.

716
00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:57.599
I think that the present-day earth unit thing.

717
00:29:57.660 --> 00:30:01.140
I don't know whether Holmes is sort of pulling back.

718
00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:02.819
There's fewer Nazis in it.

719
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:06.180
You know, there's less torture. you know, like it's just generally

720
00:30:06.180 --> 00:30:08.279
a little bit more fun than what we've been having.

721
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:09.180
Yeah.

722
00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:13.019
The thing I really, really love about Sarah in this story.

723
00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:15.240
And I only noticed it the last time I watched it.

724
00:30:15.299 --> 00:30:23.759
When Evil Harry turns up and takes the Trilantic activator...

725
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:28.200
When Evil Harry takes up and turns up and takes the Trilantic

726
00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:32.579
activator and Sarah goes after him, it's Sarah leading Sergeant

727
00:30:32.579 --> 00:30:33.660
Benton and the unit troops.

728
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:34.920
I love that scene.

729
00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:36.240
Yeah, come on, and they run after it.

730
00:30:36.299 --> 00:30:37.140
Yeah, exactly.

731
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:39.960
It's like that scene in the new series where Eccleston is facing

732
00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:43.259
down all the army blokes and they hear a scream and he's like

733
00:30:43.259 --> 00:30:46.140
defence patent, tell them, move, move, move, and they all fall in

734
00:30:46.140 --> 00:30:46.440
behind.

735
00:30:46.500 --> 00:30:51.000
They all fall in behind Sarah, which is amazing and it's shot so

736
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:52.019
well by Campfield as well.

737
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:53.460
Everyone's running towards the camera.

738
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:54.180
It's comic book.

739
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:57.720
It's dynamic, but it's also restrengthening Sarah's character

740
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:00.359
after she has been poorly treated the last few stories.

741
00:31:00.420 --> 00:31:03.839
Well, thank goodness that will never happen again.

742
00:31:03.900 --> 00:31:07.079
I actually think Harry's pretty sidelined here apart from getting

743
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:10.920
to be evil, Harry, because he is shot in episode one and he really

744
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:12.660
only rejoins them in episode four.

745
00:31:12.779 --> 00:31:15.539
And, you know, I was thinking, that's never happened to a Doctor

746
00:31:15.539 --> 00:31:19.920
Who companion before, but it's happened in a Camfield story, it

747
00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:21.119
happened to Jamie.

748
00:31:21.180 --> 00:31:23.039
Jamie gets shot at the end of the invasion.

749
00:31:23.099 --> 00:31:26.579
Oh, he has like a whole episode off or 2 episodes, or the rest of

750
00:31:26.579 --> 00:31:31.500
the story off. get shot in episode 7 and yeah, only gets shown in

751
00:31:31.500 --> 00:31:36.240
a film sequence of episode 8 because Fraser had a week off.

752
00:31:36.299 --> 00:31:41.160
Canfield kind of likes killing or maiming the regular cast.

753
00:31:41.220 --> 00:31:42.180
I mean look at Inferno.

754
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:45.599
I do think it is a little bit of a shame not to mention Sandra

755
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.839
again, given that I think that he has the best way of

756
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:51.420
understanding Broton and Broton's plan.

757
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:55.619
So Broton's plan is to take over the world by disrupting the world

758
00:31:55.619 --> 00:31:56.640
energy conference.

759
00:31:56.700 --> 00:31:58.500
Stanbridge House.

760
00:31:58.559 --> 00:32:01.319
And he does that by just being a bond villain.

761
00:32:01.380 --> 00:32:04.440
He thinks that the way to take over the world, he's clearly been

762
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:08.160
watching the Bond films on television during his time under the

763
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:11.339
loch, and he's decided that the best way of taking over the world

764
00:32:11.339 --> 00:32:16.500
is to be sort of terribly suave, um, to dress very nicely, to look

765
00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:19.980
superficially helpful and charming, but really to have, you know, a

766
00:32:19.980 --> 00:32:23.700
secret, a secret tunnel in your study that's operated by moving a

767
00:32:23.700 --> 00:32:28.559
book, uh, and then, and then to, uh, you know, deviously uh

768
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:30.900
arrange to blow up an entire building in London.

769
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:32.339
So it's a crummy plan.

770
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:33.299
You know what I mean?

771
00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:36.119
I'd like to think that like Vivian Faye, and we don't see all the

772
00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:39.240
other portraits of the previous dukes, but I would like to think

773
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:43.440
that it's actually just been brought on all these 700 years, which

774
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:44.759
doesn't seem to count for much.

775
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:49.019
I mean, it's really, well, I sort of built that, you know, that

776
00:32:49.019 --> 00:32:52.859
again, the crummy revolving young Frankenstein bookcase and the

777
00:32:52.859 --> 00:32:53.940
whole, the whole setup.

778
00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:55.680
No, no, it's just been him the whole time.

779
00:32:55.740 --> 00:32:57.960
Why else would he want to announce?

780
00:32:58.019 --> 00:33:03.119
He's so subtle and so, um, so careful and with how they secrete

781
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:05.700
themselves and yet he wants to look. look, it's a monster and

782
00:33:05.700 --> 00:33:08.640
announce themselves to a world of colleague. a world ecology get

783
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:09.000
together.

784
00:33:09.059 --> 00:33:09.960
He really does.

785
00:33:10.019 --> 00:33:13.440
I think move into his part a bit too much.

786
00:33:13.500 --> 00:33:15.900
He does believe that I think he was actually going to ruin the

787
00:33:15.900 --> 00:33:16.259
world at all.

788
00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:19.019
I think Mike Yates would have been right up there with him, waving

789
00:33:19.019 --> 00:33:20.339
a tentacle from the balcony.

790
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:21.960
Yeah, I think.

791
00:33:22.019 --> 00:33:24.839
And I think possibly his favourite Bond film would be the spy who

792
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:27.299
loved me because there's lots of aquatic action in it.

793
00:33:27.420 --> 00:33:29.640
Not fun to ball, because it's just silly.

794
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:31.079
No, not fun.

795
00:33:31.140 --> 00:33:33.539
Stromberg is a kind of terrible bond villain.

796
00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:34.500
Yeah, Stromberg is pretty bad.

797
00:33:34.619 --> 00:33:35.279
Yeah.

798
00:33:35.339 --> 00:33:37.019
He won't even shake tentacles.

799
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:40.980
And you know, come to think of it, around this time, being that

800
00:33:40.980 --> 00:33:43.500
this story is set in 1980 or 1981.

801
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:49.079
So we just had Moonraker and for your eyes only is hot on its

802
00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:49.440
heels.

803
00:33:49.500 --> 00:33:51.720
Why could we be dropping all these bond references?

804
00:33:51.779 --> 00:33:52.140
don't know.

805
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:56.940
I can't begin to say how good this is other than, if you haven't

806
00:33:56.940 --> 00:33:59.640
seen it, Please don't be led by this podcast.

807
00:33:59.700 --> 00:34:00.180
Just watch it.

808
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:02.339
And if it's been terribly confusing.

809
00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:04.200
You won't be confused by watching it itself.

810
00:34:04.259 --> 00:34:05.700
It makes a lot more sense than we do.

811
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:09.179
And I'm sure Richard will heartily approve of this.

812
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:12.480
This is one of the target novels which has been recently reprinted

813
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:14.639
by BBC books.

814
00:34:14.699 --> 00:34:17.340
Unfortunately, they have modified the original cover, the original

815
00:34:17.340 --> 00:34:20.940
cover, looks rather like a Looney Tunes cartoon with the doctor's

816
00:34:20.940 --> 00:34:23.639
face in the middle of concentric, colourful circles.

817
00:34:23.699 --> 00:34:26.099
Good will. with a huge target.

818
00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:27.420
Right here, somewhere too.

819
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:28.079
Yes.

820
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:30.659
But yeah, do track it down if you can.

821
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:44.460
Well, dear listeners, we could go on about this story for at least

822
00:34:44.460 --> 00:34:47.760
another 26 episodes, but that's all the time we have today for

823
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:48.900
Terror of the Zygons.

824
00:34:49.019 --> 00:34:53.340
We will be back next week to discuss what is regarded as one of

825
00:34:53.340 --> 00:34:56.699
the classics of the Hindecliff era, if not Doctor Who overall.

826
00:34:56.760 --> 00:34:58.679
No, we're doing Planet of Evil next week.

827
00:34:58.739 --> 00:35:01.260
Oh, damn, I always get these story orders mixed up.

828
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:02.460
I thought we were on Pyramids of Mars.

829
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:04.619
No, it is Planet of Evil next week, and you know what that means?

830
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:05.820
Chest hair.

831
00:35:06.179 --> 00:35:10.199
It's chest hair and it's it's Paul Morrow.

832
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:13.559
And it's, oh, God, please, please just come back.

I'm okay.

854
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:09.360
All right.

855
00:36:09.420 --> 00:36:10.260

podcast. where I don't get to say this thing.

863
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:28.860
Very radio, isn't it?
