Episode 127: Chekhov's Scream

29 minutes ago
Not only is it not St Patrick's Day; it's not even March. But it was. And in a loose tie-in, we picked the two missing Patrick Troughton episodes that aired closest to March 17th. Following our discussion last time about The Macra Terror episode 2, Gav, Giles and Paul join Richard to chat about Fury From The Deep episode 1. We try to unravel some enduring mysteries, but most can only be answered if we ever get to see it.

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

Sunday Mar 22, 2026
Well, how about that? Episodes 1 & 3 of The Daleks' Masterplan have been found and will be released on the BBC iPlayer at Easter.
In the meantime, Gav, Giles and Paul join Richard for a discussion about the episodes themselves. What do we already know from the soundtracks, clips, photos and camera scripts? What about the newly recovered clips we've been shown? What should we be looking out for?
We'll be back after the episodes have been released to discuss how closely they mirrored our expectations and what's completely new.

Richard's other podcast "If It's Hurting, It's not Working" is currently on hiatus, but it's a fun and informative look at work - why we work, how we work, and what makes a great job. And also what makes a great workplace, how to turn things round when we're not enjoying our work and, in the end, how we can all make our work better.

Monday Mar 16, 2026
It's the second half of a chat about a pairing of stories suggested by Gav: last time the two part 6th Doctor story Timelash from Season 22, which we paired this time with 9th Doctor outing The Unquiet Dead from Series 1. We'll decide whether watching them was a gas, or just let us feeling aghast. Joining Richard for the discussion are Gav, Giles and Paul.

Episode 122: Floored Genius

Thursday Jan 01, 2026
Gav, Giles and Paul join Richard for the second half of our discussion about some actual missing episodes. In this moment of Film is Fabulous getting close to some missing episodes which still exist in film collections, Gav had the idea of each of us picking two standalone missing episodes to try to unravel some enduring mysteries. Originally there weren't going to be any Dalek episodes, but Gav and Richard forgot that part of the brief.
In this half of the discussion we look at The Massacre episode 4, The Celestial Toymaker episode 3, The Power of the Daleks episode 4 and The Highlanders Episode 3.

Episode 120: The Mistaken Prometheus
Saturday Nov 01, 2025
Saturday Nov 01, 2025
This pairing of stories linked to Mary Shelley's horror story Frankenstein was Richard's idea: in the last episode we looked at the four part 4th Doctor story from early 1976 and Season 13 - The Brain of Morbius, which we've paired this time with 2020's 13th Doctor outing The Haunting of Villa Diodati from Series 12. We'll decide whether these stories have animated us like a bolt of lightning or left us feeling like mouldering corpses. Joining Richard for the discussion are Gav, Giles and Paul.
We recorded this episode in August; the first part came out in September and this part has taken until November; sorry for the wait.

Back for the second half of this Gav-inspired pairing of two Zygon stories: last time's four part 4th Doctor story Terror of the Zygons, paired with this episode's 2015 two part 12th Doctor outing The Zygon Invasion / Inversion from Series 9. We'll decide whether these stories make you feel like lairds or a bunch of suckers. Joining Gav for the discussion are Paul, Giles and Richard.
