Hello, dear listener, and welcome back to Flightthrough Entirety
the only Doctor Who podcast who would much rather eat than watch
this story.
I'm Brendan.
I'm Nathan.
I'm Downton Abbey for this episode.
Oh, and if only it were as good as Downton Abbey, it's Black
Orchard.
So, I actually think that episode one of Black Orchid is by far
the best episode of the entire season.
Brendan.
You know how last week I said there's only one Doctor Who story I
hate, but a 2nd one was working its way up there.
Black Orchids number 2 at the moment.
Now, that being said, I will say that I watched Black Orchid twice
in preparation for this, because I watched it the 1st time with
the production subtitles on, incidentally, the production
subtitles for this are terrible.
Like, there's instances of 5 minutes with no information, and
that's including when the house is burning down. you know, not
even a, they used a flame bar for this shot.
Nothing.
Andrew N.
Pixley would be appalled.
But I did notice that both time I watched it, the 2nd time I
watched it with commentary, which was far more entertaining.
Episode one does zip by very quickly.
So that is certainly of benefit.
Listen, I have my lawyers standing by, Brendan.
And if you use the word tiresome, you know, take me out a very
rich man at this point.
Let's go with what I like to start off with...
She's literally called mad.
She is called mad.
And I, you know, I have to say there must be something up at
Cranley Hall keeping people young because she looked great on her
most recent tour as well.
Really?
Yeah.
Madge is Madonna.
Yeah, no, no, she's Madonna Crownley.
No, no, it's Madonna Crowley.
Which actually makes that guy Richie.
Poor bugger.
He hasn't had much of a career to speak, I really have.
But I would also like to say, it's halfway through part 2 where
the cast on the commentary realise her character's name is Madge
and they just can't speak through it.
And you just get Jetta Fielding constantly saying, magic.
Don't watch this story without the commentary, dear listener.
Madge also bumps into the painting of her dearly dearly beloved
dead son at one point.
So the painting, can I just say there are 2 sets of people who
look identical for no reason?
Yeah, we've got twin brothers, but we're twins.
Actually, no, George is said to be older.
It might maybe just 5 minutes older.
Yeah, yeah.
Maybe they are identical twins because the picture looks like
Michael Cochrane.
Yeah, yeah.
And the thing is, we've got a great cost in this.
We got Michael Cochrane.
Weve got Maure Watson.
He's wonderful.
Well, yes.
Well, of course, he's already been to the manor born in Cat
Weasel.
And we've got, oh, and what is the name of Madge?
What's the actress's name?
Barbara.
Reichstart.
Barbara Reichstadt.
Yeah.
Barbara Blitzkrieg before...
Barbara Murray.
I was like Cranley.
Moray Watson was Sir Robert Newer, because he was Cedric's son
Cedric's son and father, what am I saying?
In Catweasel, upon which, as we've mentioned, J.K. Rowland, based
a lot of the appearance of Harry Potter on Cedric.
Oh, yeah.
Not on Michael.
And Moray Watson was also in the running to replace Patrick McNee
had he not come back for the Linda Force of the season?
along with John Woodvine.
Both of them playing Patrick.
Yes, yes, that's right.
As twin sisters.
Yeah, they were the 2 actors who...
Variously screen testing with Wanda Ventham and Susan Engel and
other.
Can you imagine?
Can you find that video?
The video exists and is on the DVD collection.
There's no sound.
Can we watch that before we...
Yes.
Good night, listeners.
Yeah, so we have Barbara Murray, Morray Watson, and Michael
Cochrane, all of whom, you know, quite big name actors, quite
prestigious actors.
And they're shoved into this sub Miss Marple murder mystery with
only one suspect.
With a lot of wind up their terrace.
With a lot of wind up the terrace, you know.
It's the worst lawn party ever.
And I'm, and I'm including Monty Python, Sam Peckenpath, salad
days.
Oh, it's just...
Did you were you waiting for that to happen, though?
I was wishing, I was wishing, um, I think it's one of the, I think
it's the most charming episode of this season episode.
I haven't got to episode two.
The great clang of why this story ends up being Brendan's Nadir.
It is terrible.
I agree.
But the episode one, I absolutely adore.
Episode one is child.
It puts the doctor in context.
Finally, the postmodern wheel of fortune because we're is turned.
The barrel girl has turned it nicely and it's now where the doctor
should be.
This doctor is not a man for all seasons.
He's the Balante Tom.
He only works in these sorts of stories.
In fact, I think this is the 1st time.
Am I crazy?
No, it's not.
If we count, if we don't count the abominable snowmen.
Is this the 1st time that we've gone to the earlier in the 20th
century?
No, that's crazy.
What am I talking about?
Pyramids of Mars.
Where's horror factory?
It happens all the time.
I'm an idiot Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you're not far off because it happens so rarely.
We don't get a lot of gorgeous German expressionism, so going back
to it.
But we get a beautiful train, a beautiful railway station, lovely
locations, gorgeous frocks, vintage cars.
Cars.
We get a lot of stuff where the doctor, the doctor just comes and
plays cricket for no reason at all.
Astonishing you well. hilariously drunk.
Oh, and Josh.
Janet's nice.
Yeah, she's really enjoying herself.
Tegan likes daddy.
Yeah.
Well, her and Moray Watson, I've just wonderful together on the
terrace there.
I love him in the fun.
I loved him in the black spot of Cursed Death pirate show with
Matt Smith.
What was that one called?
No, no, that's Hugh Bonneville.
Same difference.
You know, even though it's sort of horrifically windswept. like
having a garden party on the planet Castrio.
That's the episode title right there.
You know, it's miserable.
And Rick must live.
Oh, doesn't he die on this one?
Mr. Creosote.
That whole thing about Adric eating everything is because Matthew
Waterhouse can't dance.
No, it's actually true.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. centio gravity is so low.
It just spins on his shell.
But if he falls over, he does bounce back up again immediately.
It's amazing.
That's just off in backside.
I mean, have you seen it, honestly.
There was a young fellow of kings.
But everyone's having a rack of toast without blubbing.
Sorry.
Where the hell is Hugh Laurie?
Rowan Atkinson for this one.
This is what we need.
Rowan Atkinson as Madge.
Actually, no, Hugh Laurie plays a better woman.
You know you're right.
They should have played this for high comedy.
They almost do, and I can see where you, because I, you know, I
think Nathan and I probably are as one and that we love this.
I love this one.
Just, it's still, totally charming.
Until the frickin' day of sex machina, do not show them the
TARDIS.
They show them the TARS.
The whole thing falls apart and I can't go back from that.
So, no, bury it alive.
Let the stinking corpse scream itself to death.
I actually think under the tennis court.
I think it falls to this at the cliffhanger.
Giving the doctor the task of just wandering through corridors in
a really attractive, um, sort of Patrick Stewart, you know, like
he looks, he looks terrific in that dressing gown.
But that stuff is all boring and leaden.
And all I want is an episode where we go to a cricket match and
then go to a lovely garden party where Tegan gets to dance to
Charleston, where you get to see Sarah Sutton being like a posh
idiot as Anne Tolbot, which I think is terribly funny, where the
both of them dance, where Adrik is actually relaxed.
He's out of the wig, you know, like he's really starting...
You do get that now.
It's called the unicorn on the wall.
Well, in fact, this, the unicorn and the wasp and the lodger, which
has the football match, which is superior to the cricket match
because the football match has an actual kind of like a character
thing going on.
It's about the doctor being better than Craig at Craig's life.
There's something going on there.
Whereas the cricket match in Black Orchid is just spectacle.
But just spectacle, spectacle's great. you know, it's enjoyable
stuff.
It's needed in this season right now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We've had we've had and are going to have such boring things going
on.
So having people enjoy themselves in lovely frocks, you know
getting out of their wretched uniforms for an episode, all of that
stuff is such a relief.
And I've got to think that Gareth Roberts really likes this
story.
I haven't heard him on the subject, but the fact that he that he
rips things from it for both the lodger and the unicorn and the
wasp has to indicate.
And it does seem like the sort of thing that he would like.
It's like eating a well-prepared meals ended.
There is a lot of food for the soul in the story.
The manservant who is murdered at the end of episode one, he's
going to fetch a bucket.
And they refer to the bucket again when Adrick goes in for
seconds.
So there's a very subtle joke in there that they think Hadrick is
going to make himself sick, which I did rather appreciate.
But, oh, this story, it's something we've talked about with
Terrence Dudley's writing before.
It's not enough of anything it thinks it is.
It's not a sci-fi story.
Which, you know, it's fair.
It's fair enough if, you know, it's fair enough if it's not a sci
fi story, if it's something else.
It's not really a historical story because it could, it could be
set in the 80s.
You know, if it could be at a party in the 80s.
There is nothing about this story that has to be set in the
1920s.
It just occurred to me that this is a historical that I don't
think would be better if it had a terra leptil in it.
Chin, Chin, it's the first. 1st one.
So the thing is, if we're going to go back in history and we're
not going to have science fiction, we should have Gothic fiction
and it sets up to be Gothic fiction with the phantom up in the
tower.
Love the big stuff there, yes.
But it's not enough Gothic fiction, you know, because it just has
this explanation at the end.
Oh yes, he's my disfigured son that we locked away in the attic.
So right, we get these horrible people.
You get these horrible people whose son has been horribly
disfigured and attacked by primitive natives.
So, hooray for racism, but it's not, but it's 1926.
So you kind of go, right, this is a product of the time itself.
I think that's just called revenge. on their part, yes.
So let's not tell his fiance what's happened.
Let's lock him up in the tower upstairs because he's disfigured
and mentally impaired.
That's the reason they're locking him up.
Let's then lie to his fiance and get her to get engaged to his
brother under false pretences, and then let's punish him and whip
him and abuse him when he steps out of line.
Well, he did go to a public school.
He probably liked that.
And then, and then, right?
So over the course of the story, he kills Digby.
He kills Dy Tony.
He kills James.
Oh, James.
Madge then tells then tells Moray Watson.
It's the doctor's fault.
Take the doctor away.
Then she admits to him what is actually going on.
Yet at the end, they're going to the funeral and there's no sign
they're going to prison.
It's rich people locking up the disabled, abusing them and getting
away with it.
It's the 80s.
Yeah, it is awful.
That is truly awful.
And what's also awful is that the doctor passes no comment on
that.
And what's also awful, though, is the fact that Nissa and Anne
both get turned into sort of damsels industry. rapeyvictim.com.
Yeah, they're the susans in the drama, aren't they?
Yeah, yeah.
So they get no agency.
They just sort of hauled around the place.
And also Charles is so horrible.
Like he's really, really horrible.
And yet she's still on his arm at the end of the story.
You've got it, though.
Money and equals charm.
It equals gray, equals get out of everything.
But I mean, if it critiqued that.
If the story critiqued that rather than just presenting it as a
sort of...
It would be EastEnders, yeah.
Well, no, no. would be good.
That would actually be a good thing.
But instead, um, it just goes along with it.
Yeah, exactly.
And, you know, the doctor says nothing at the end.
He just gets a copy of the book and says, oh, thank you, I will
treasure it.
Well, whoop de bloody do.
Other things enrage me about this.
Charles pushes George off the roof.
Well, okay, possibly, but it's not presented that way because he
does have his arms outstretched.
But at the same time, you know, if you weren't going to have that
critique, have it as the characters learn a lesson and say, you
know what, no, we're going to rehabilitate him and he's going to
be part of the family again.
And Anne could say, look, I'm sorry, no, I still, I know he's
disfigured, but I still love him.
And that would that would kind of start to redress the situation.
But you can't do that and you've got this, like, it's a Doctor Who
trope that is really problematic, and it's been there all along
which equates disability and disfigurement with evil.
And here it's particularly bad because it's not, you know, Michael
Wisher in a rubber mask or anything.
It's like a person who's a member of the family who's been
disfigured.
Yeah, and it's a person who they say, you know, he's been tortured
by this tribe because he stole their sacred flower.
Then we're torturing them for a while.
But no one comments on it.
It just drives me insane.
I think it's Terrence Dudley is the racist grandpa of season 19.
The funny thing is, Terrence Dudley gets sci-fi.
He was the producer of survivors and Doom Watch.
Yeah, have you seen the season of survivors that he, I know that, I
know that's horribly racist as well, but he gets sci-fi. except
when he tries to write it.
I think there's laziness in this and the plot holes of what you're
talking about rather than just being poor character or subsuming
we can't call it evil, can you?
But there's subsuming lack of ethics or demorality. in the
characters, it's actually just lazy, plot cohesion, that, again
it's using the diosex machina in the most literal sense of showing
everyone the TARDIS to get out of them.
Oh, see, that's awful.
And they keep trying to do that for the rest of the season.
Then it comes to going, let me show you the shiny set that we have
you know, in the next year.
It's my, it's so gorgeous.
It's my greatest disappointment and it stayed with me to this
day.
It's the reason that Davidson era actually fails, honest to us so
often, is because there's been no, because it keeps finding an
easy quick plot twist away out.
You know, there's one thing that I do like about that.
I mean, I don't think you should have seen them inside the TARS.
I think if they're going to go in the TARDIS, let them come out
and go, ooh, that was spooky, but instead they all stand around
doing a police procedural in the TARDIS. 15 minutes.
But the really, the really fun thing is that the doctor takes them
back to Cranley Hall in the TARDIS, which I just think is
hilarious.
And I love seeing the TARDIS materialise on the lawn.
But even then, right, if you look at the long shot, you can see
that Moray Watson gets out of the TARDIS.
He's actually still holding onto it.
So he's acting, but we get Ron Jones.
And because he can, yes.
We get Ron Jones in his Doctor Who debut going, oh, I think I'll
just film that in long shot with no close-ups.
Oh.
And you know, Ron Jones, Ron Jones will return with Arc of
Infinity Inventions on Baros.
I hate vengeance.
And Mind Warp.
Yeah.
You've got lots to talk about.
So, you know, it's not it's not like Peter Moffat, who is going to
give up halfway through a story sometimes, Zoon.
This guy's already given up.
And just one more ranty thing that I'm going to say, then we can
get onto other things.
So Anne and Nissa go to the party in the same costume, which is a
wonderful idea.
The mask is a great way to hide the double, very convincing
double.
So this is all, this is all praise.
Sarah Sutton's performance.
She actually very subtly delineates the 2 performances.
I don't think it's subtle.
I think I think she's fabulous posh idiot.
I think she's...
But I'm, actually, I say suffer.
I should say believable.
You know, she creates a believable 2nd character with really only
about, what, 20 lines over the course of 2 episodes?
No, she's really great.
But the thing is, she says no one but no one can tell us about
it.
Look, I've got a mole.
Okay?
So we've got this mole, which Chekhov's mole.
Check on the...
We've never mentioned it again.
You know, and then at the end, you've got the doctor saying, what's
he going to do when he finds out he's got the wrong girl.
So the doctor runs up and what's the 1st thing he says?
George, that's...
And he doesn't say, look, she hasn't got the mole.
You know, which would be the thing.
And the whole thing she should have had like a, like, you know
like a foetus.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
With teeth.
Yeah, yeah.
That how you would have told me...
Beeble Brock's head. played by Janet Fielding as a watermelon.
Yes.
It would have worked.
You know, that whole resolution, it even starts to try to redeem
George because when George realises that this isn't Anne.
He doesn't throw her off the roof.
He doesn't respond to her violently.
He kind of goes, oh, like I've made a horrible mistake.
And, you know, there's that whole language of give and treating a
woman as a possession.
But that's what Anne's been treated like for the whole story.
Totally.
You know, one brother's out of the picture will give you to the
other one.
He's identical anyway.
Yeah, exactly.
But that starts to redeem George a bit and it's like, oh, no, but
for reasons we have to kill him off.
Again.
Screw you, Terrence Dublin.
That's what we do with these.
Oh.
Does Karen Dudley come back?
No, yes.
King's Demons.
He does King's Demons, which is... actually better than this, but
it is.
Lots of fun.
Tony Virgo.
I don't often use these words because I don't believe, but Christ
Almighty, this is terrible.
It's, it's not completely irredeemable like the other story I
hate.
It's because it should be so charming.
It is on some levels and it's an episode of Just William, really
in the same period and was just on a few years before.
Body and board.
Bless.
I want you to always, when you mention Bonnie Lanka coming up in
her seasons, to only do her in a Brian blessing.
Bonnie Langfire.
There you go.
Some we look forward to.
Bonnie Langford has actually seen my time in the Rani cosplay.
There's a photo of her holding it up in one hand and doing the
screen pose in the other. fabulous.
We have to put that up on the website.
We will, we will.
But as I say, look, that's the end of my ranching and we've got at
least another 10 minutes because I didn't want this to be all
ranty, but in a moment we sort of, in a moment we cut out earlier
Nathan did say, but you're the happy one.
So chaps, I shall open it up to you.
Well, I mean, I think I kind of think that we've covered it and
there's a sense, Brendan, in which I think we might be on the same
page.
I think that the plot itself is terrible and that the resolution
is insulting and embarrassing and really unlikeable, but I just
can't get away from the fact that for once in the Davis and era
we're having fun.
Matthew Waterhouse is relaxed. at other people's experience.
No, they're locked up upstairs.
And we're having a lovely party.
This is where Janet finally gets it, I think, and she's enjoying
herself.
She has decided at this point that she doesn't want to go home and
that's a huge development for the character.
Everyone gets out of their uniform.
You know, like, I think that I found myself enjoying this.
And now that I've watched all of season 19, I really was serious
when I said, I think this is episode one is the best episode of
the season, not because it's well written, but because there's
lots of location footage that it looks wonderful, the actors are
enjoying themselves.
I think it's fun to watch.
And I think that Doctor Who could afford to be like this a little
bit more often.
Um, At the moment it thinks it's a science fiction program with a
sort of rotating cast of various monsters and things and that's
only going to get worse and worse.
And as it goes on, it's going to continue to appeal to the sort of
people who enjoy watching people assemble machinery in time flight
episode before.
But But, you know, it's doing something bloody postmodernism.
It's doing something that Doctor Who can do, which is play to the
strength of the BBC costume department, do, you know, some of the
best things that BBC television is capable of doing, which is sort
of period pieces and giving us the chance to relax and have fun.
Um, and again, I'm going to mention Sandra for the fake in the
event.
Second week in a row, where he says that there's a problem with
the plot in that the 1st actual murder has to come at the halfway
point, which means that the actual murder mystery is crammed into
25 minutes where it isn't given time to work.
But I'm grateful that it's crammed into 25 minutes and we don't
have to put up with it for the 1st episode.
I think it was the 1st murder happens in the 1st scene.
Yeah.
But look, I absolutely agree with you, but the 1st episode is
charming.
I think maybe that's why I'm so cross because the 1st episode has
this wonderful promise, which is utterly obliterated by the
second.
Yeah, yeah.
I think that that's probably wrong.
Yeah, so I agree.
The 1st episode is actually really good.
And I don't mind the denouement.
I don't mind the buildup to the conclusion, and I think the
wrestle on the roof is actually quite shocking and still a lot of
smoke.
It's a lot of smoke and it still has an impact.
Pardon that crashing point.
Even now.
It's a terribly sad thing.
And yes, the mother is a monster.
There you go.
You did get your darel influence.
Oh, um, something, Gareth Milne, whilst falling off the roof
pushed off a little too far, and his legs went into the concrete.
He was fine.
He didn't break anything, but he was...
In a wheelchair now.
Walking funny.
Walking funny for a few days as twerks.
I haven't mentioned Matthew Waterhouse much.
It's his only story without the wig.
Is that true?
No, I think I think he's he's still not got the wig next week.
It does, it's so nice seeing him out of that stupid pyjama thing.
Yes.
And yeah, yeah, but he doesn't really cut a dash, does he?
Well, he's not a costumian's dream.
No, no, but he is he's a bit relaxed and he's into play with the
other characters is actually nice.
And I've been really critical of this TARDIS crew and I'm really
not finished yet.
But they're interactions at the garden party are really nice.
They are lovely and very human.
But I do get the feeling that he's the Prince's Astro of this
season.
He was born to do one thing only.
But that being said, also in this story, when Nissa runs off to do
the Charleston, you cut back to Adric.
It's like, okay, now I see the thing you've been trying to set up
for 3 or 4 stories that he kind of fancies are.
And I think there's a moment on Matthew Waterhouse's face where he
actually kind of plays it that he is beginning to realise as
well.
And I think it's quite a fine moment.
But then you cut to the commentary where Matthew Waterhouse says
Oh, God, what am I thinking there?
I'm probably thinking when is the shot still going?
What's happening?
What's going on?
blows it.
But, you know, to be fair, that's Doctor Who fanned a bit of
nutshell.
We read these things into it.
Then the actors say, oh no, darling, it's acting.
But a performance should be a should allow you to have that kind
of stuff.
Oh, yeah.
You know what?
But it's also, if they're going to do a soap opera.
If they're going to constantly refer to previous stories, if
they're going to link the stories together, you know, if there's
going to be some kind of through line like what we saw last year
then do it properly, like think about the relationships between
the characters, give them something to do.
I love Doctor Who as a soap opera, series one of the new series.
I absolutely adore.
Still fresh, yeah.
And and it's it's because Russell gets long-running relationships
between characters more right than not and and puts people and and
interpersonal relationships in the show that have never been in it
before.
Here, you know, you've just got a bunch of people who really have
nothing very much to do with one another, who have no identifiable
attitudes to one another.
You know, like imagine if Adric had secretly been fancying Nissa
all this time.
I know you probably don't want to think about that. teenage boys.
You've been thinking about sandwiches the next month.
Yeah, yeah, but that would be okay as well, but you get nothing.
He's clearly getting nothing.
You know, Nisa has nothing at all to do most of the time.
This is probably her best story to date because she's got 2 roles
to play.
You know, it's funny.
JNT was constantly denying to the media that there was any
romances written into the show because of the perception of, quote
unquote, hanky-panky in the TARDIS.
It's like, well, if you don't have the possibility of romance, then
you don't have soap opera.
Oh, you don't even have drama, how did we get 9 years of the
Avengers?
Yeah, yeah.
Or indeed, the history of romantic comedy.
Yeah, yeah, we're just human existence. for God's sake.
You know, Patrick...
And Ian Hendry is so hot together.
Actually, they kind of are.
Yeah, they are.
And you're quite right, actually, because, you know, Howard
Hawkesall made buddy movies and gentlemen prefer blondes is just
another buddy movie. just happens to be Jane Russell and Marilyn
Monroe as the blokes.
Fantastic film.
In Feathers.
Haven't we all been there?
I guess if you do, have hanky-banking in the TARD, if you just end
up with Alex Kingston and Madame Covale, Larian, don't you?
You know what?
Conceptually, just having those actors is great.
Oh, and actually, I think that's a really good description of this
story.
Having these actors is great.
Yeah, but the problem is there's no characters in this series
ongoing that I actually like all the characters that I like turn
up for a story and go.
So who would you like to stay on in this story from this cast?
From this particular episode well under?
So we had Neres last week.
Who would you know?
I mean, I think we have to have Barbara Murray just because she'd
just slice and dice them all.
I don't think there'd be anyone left by the next story.
You should have them all boxed in, tied to the delta wave or?
I'm voting for Moray Watson.
Me too.
In that wig.
In the wig.
He and Janet had just the most fabulous chemistry together
actually.
Actually, they sort of did, didn't they, really?
and she'd be up for it.
I'm just remembering him in interminably as um, in um, Rumpole of
the Bailey.
Do you remember?
He was played. was it?
Oh, it was the very dry old, old judge anyway.
Yeah.
Why not?
And the wonderful thing about he and Janet bouncing off each other
that way.
And, you know, I'm going to get a bit personal for a moment.
I am in a relationship with someone notably older than myself just
to put that out there.
And in the media, you often see representations of relationships
with age gaps as being about the young one is stupid and pretty
and the old one is having some kind of crisis.
And that's why they're running after the young one and buying them
things and whatnot.
And that is not necessarily what a relationship with an age gap is
like.
Now, of course, this is Doctor Who in the 80s.
We're not actually seeing a romantic relationship between these
two, but there is certainly a Frisson, and it just seems to be 2
people genuinely enjoying each other's company.
It's really nice to watch.
Yeah, it's really nice.
Just to see Tegan in a good mood.
Yeah, it really is, isn't it?
And the thing is, you're not given any explanation for why she
gets on well with him but doesn't get on well with the others and
nobody comments on, ooh, look what's going on over there.
It's an organic relationship in the middle of this very strange
story of 2 halves, in the middle of this very strange season where
people don't have relationships.
Just I just want Tegan and this are to be sitting in there
apparently combined, but not always bedrooms.
Sometimes it's one room, sometimes it's too, just sitting on the
edge of the bed, looking at each other, going, what the...
Rick and hell are our lives about?
Like those awful scenes in Star Trek, The Next Generation.
Beverly and Indiana are doing like their pelvic floor exercises
and discussing their lives.
You want to know what that scene was?
That scene of Star Trek the Next Generation was originally written
for 10 forward.
But Gates and Marina got into a massive, stupid row on set the day
before.
So the writers went, right, we're going to laugh them out of it.
We going to put them in these stupid leotards and make them do
aerobics.
And the thing is, Marina says, it worked, you know, by the end of
the scene, we were friends again and we both apologised.
Yeah, that's exactly what we need for Doctor Who.
We need the callisthenics deck, which would look like the Sistine
Chapel, of course.
As you get Matthew in a layer time.
I'm not hearing a no.
Yes, you are.
Well, dear listeners, next week, we're off to a set of caves to
talk to a woman in a tango wig with Earthshock.
Please come back next week for that.
You can find us online at flightthroughentirety.com, flight
through entirety on Facebook and iTunes and FTE podcast on
Twitter.
Surprisingly, not wearing a wig yet is Roger Moore over on
bondfinger.com.
On a bit.
Probably years.
Bond finger on Facebook and Bond finger cast on Twitter.
And I'm also not wearing a wig on Doctor Who in 10 seconds.
Tried if you couldn't match the colour of my beard.
Until next week, may none of your undesirable relatives ruin your
dismal garden party, you fascists.
Thank you very much for listening and good night.
Good night.
Good every then.
That was fled through entirety with Nathan Bottomley, Brendan
Jones and Richard Stone.

This episode, the worst lawn party ever, was recorded on the 28th
of May.
The next episode will be released on the 17th of July.
I didn't hate everything about this story.
I quite enjoyed the missing scene where due to a misunderstanding
Adrik gets a cockateel in his bath, and then drinks it.
Black Orchid, 28th of May.
I have opinions. work.
Black Hawk at the Musical.

It couldn't be any worse than what we actually get on screen.
Are we recording this?
Great, great tag right there.
Okay.

Oh, you know.
Okay.
