Episode 37: Whoa there, Bessie!
The Sonic ToolboxShe was the Doctor's first car. And like the tinkerer he is, he couldn't help but make some modifications. He called it her Super Drive. It was actually a minimum inertia hyperdrive. We're discussing it, and other interesting aspects of Bessie in this episode.

Radio Free Skaro #315 - High On Your Own Supply
Radio Free SkaroThe Radio Free Skaro time-wasting series continues with our commentary on a story that features baddies some might call borderline pornographic (goodness knows JNT did). Yes, it's the third part of The Trial of a Timelord, Terror of the Vervoids! Much time was spent discussing the directorial choices made in this less than stellar series of Doctor Who episodes, despite the Three Who Rule having previously done a Miniscope segment about director Chris Clough nearly three years ago (see episode #164, kiddies). Still, the lads soldier on through a story featuring those infamous creatures, the bald agenda and none other than Pussy Galore herself. Smoke 'em if you got 'em!

Doctor Who - 5.8 'The Hungry Earth'
Impossible PodcastsThere's something amiss in the Welsh valleys (isn't there always?) but fear not - your commentators Sarah Burrow and P.G. Bell are here to talk you through it.
As Moffatt redesigns his second classic monster of the series, we ask whether the new-look Silurians are really such a failure. There's also a brief discussion of POV Monstervision, the logistics of running the world's biggest deep-core drilling operation from a couple of laptops in a shed, and whether Chris Chibnall could have crammed any more Pertwee references into this story if he'd tried. All it's missing is the Whomobile!
Now there's an idea for the 50th anniversary...

Bigger on the Inside - Episode 92
Bigger on the InsideOn their first journey together, The Doctor takes Rose to see the destruction of Earth, but it all goes topsy-turvy when a fleshy trampoline plots to kill everyone onboard the observation deck ("The End of the World"). Then, The Doctor and Charles Dickens join forces on Christmas Eve, and you can bet there are ghosts (or ghostlike beings) involved ("The Unquiet Dead"). Also, Dan proves his mind is filled with nothing but pop culture references, and Mike delivers his worst joke ever.

TDP 246: Death to the Daleks
Tin Dog PodcastTravelling through space, the TARDIS suffers an energy drain and crash-lands on the planet Exxilon. The Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith venture outside to investigate the cause of the interference, and become separated. The Doctor is captured by the planet's inhabitants - the savage Exxilons - but escapes. Sarah is attacked by one of the creatures in the TARDIS, and flees into the night, finding a huge white City with a flashing beacon. When daylight arrives, the Doctor is found by a party of the Marine Space Corps; they take him to their ship, which has been stranded by a power drain. They are on an expedition to mine "Parrinium" - a mineral abundant only on Exxilon - which can cure and give immunity to a deadly space plague. The lives of at least 10 million people depend on the expedition's obtaining the Parrinium and leaving the planet within a month. They show the Doctor some photos they have taken of the nearby City - which the Exxilons worship, sacrificing anyone who ventures too close to it. Sarah does so, and is captured and taken to the Exxilons' caves to be sacrificed by their High Priest. A ship containing four Daleks now arrives; both the Daleks' ship and their weapons have been rendered useless by the energy drain. The Daleks claim that several of their planetary colonies are suffering from plague; thus they need Parrinium for the same reason as the humans. The Daleks, the Doctor, and the humans form an uneasy alliance to obtain Parrinium and escape Exxilon. While the allies are making their way to the humans' mining dome, the Exxilons ambush them, killing a human and a Dalek and capturing the others. The prisoners are taken to the Exxilon caves where the Doctor interrupts Sarah Jane's sacrifice; therefore, he is also condemned to death. When the dual sacrifice commences, a second party of Daleks, who have replaced their energy weapons with firearms, attack in force, killing a number of Exxilons. They then force the Exxilons and humans to mine Parrinium. The Doctor and Sarah flee into underground tunnels. The Doctor and Sarah meet a group of subterranean, fugitive Exxilons. Their leader, Bellal, explains that the City was built by the Exxilons' ancestors, who were once capable of space travel. The ancient Exxilons built the City to be capable of maintaining, repairing, and protecting itself. However, fitting the structure with a brain meant that the City no longer needed its creators. On realising this, the Exxilons had tried to destroy the City, but, instead, the City destroyed most of them; the savage surface dwellers and Bellal's group are the only survivors. Bellal's people seek to complete their ancestors' last, failed act - to destroy the City and ensure their race's survival. Bellal sketches some of the markings on the City wall, which the Doctor recognises from a temple in Peru. Bellal also explains that the City supports itself through underground 'roots' and the aerial beacon. The Doctor realises that the beacon must be the cause of the energy drain, and decides to go to the City and resolve the problem. The Daleks separately come to the same conclusion and create two timed explosives to destroy the beacon. One Dalek supervises two humans placing the explosives, but one of the humans, Galloway, secretly keeps one bomb. Two other Daleks enter the City to investigate the superstructure, but the Doctor and Bellal enter the City just before them. The two parties then proceed through the City, passing a series of progressive intelligence tests. The Doctor reasons that the City has arranged the tests so that only lifeforms with knowledge comparable to that of the City's creators would reach the brain, allowing the City to add the knowledge of the survivors to its databanks. On reaching the central chamber, the Doctor begins to sabotage the City's computer brain; the machine responds by creating two Exxilon-like 'antibodies' to 'neutralise' the Doctor and Bellal. The pair are saved when the Daleks enter and fight the antibodies, and the Doctor and Bellal escape as the City's sabotaged controls begin to malfunction. When the bomb on the beacon explodes, all power is restored. The Daleks order the humans to load the Parrinium onto their ship. On leaving Exxilon, the Daleks intend to fire a plague missile onto the planet, destroying all life and making future landings impossible, so that they will have the only source of Parrinium. Their true intention for hoarding Parrinium is to blackmail the galactic powers to accept their demands; refusal would mean the deaths of millions. As their ship takes off, Sarah reveals that the Daleks have only bags of sand while the real Parrinium is on the Earth ship, which is now ready to take off. Galloway has smuggled himself and his bomb aboard the Dalek ship; he detonates the bomb, destroying the Dalek ship before it fires the plague missile. Back on Exxilon, the City disintegrates and collapses, the Doctor sadly commenting that the Universe is now down to 699 Wonders. Continuity Death to the Daleks is also the name of a spin off audio drama by Big Finish Productions in the Dalek Empire series. The Doctor attempts to destroy the Exxilon supercomputer by feeding it illogical paradoxes. This is the same tactic he used against the mad BOSS computer in The Green Death the previous season. This is the only other story where the Daleks do not fire their energy weapons, due to the Exxilon power drain (although they technically do "fire" them, albeit without any success). This marks the last appearance of the TARDIS Console Room until Planet of Evil. Sarah later references this story in Pyramids of Mars. Production Serial details by episode EpisodeBroadcast dateRun timeViewership (in millions)Archive "Part One" 23 February 1974 24:32 8.1 PAL 2" colour videotape "Part Two" 2 March 1974 24:25 9.5 PAL 2" colour videotape "Part Three" 9 March 1974 24:24 10.5 PAL 2" colour videotape "Part Four" 16 March 1974 24:35 9.5 PAL 2" colour videotape [1][2][3] Working titles for this story were The Exilons and The Exxilons.[4] This is one of two Third Doctor serials (the other being The Claws of Axos) to still have a 90-minute PAL studio recording tape. The incidental music for this serial was composed by Carey Blyton and performed by the London Saxophone Quartet. Missing episodes Episode one of this story was missing from the BBC archives, when they were first fully audited in 1978; eventually, a 525-line NTSC recording was recovered from an overseas television station. A low-quality PAL recording was subsequently recovered, albeit with the opening scene missing. In 1992, this was followed by the recovery of a better-quality 625-line PAL recording from a shipment of episodes returned from Dubai. In Print Doctor Who book Death to the Daleks Series Target novelisations Release number 20 Writer Terrance Dicks Publisher Target Books Cover artist Roy Knipe ISBN 0-426-20042-X Release date 20 July 1978 Preceded by ' Followed by ' A novelisation of this serial, written by Terrance Dicks, was published by Target Books in July 1978. A German translation was published in 1990 by Goldmann. VHS and DVD releases The serial was released on video in an omnibus format in July 1987, the first Doctor Who video to be released on just VHS, instead of both VHS and Betamax. As the PAL version of episode one was not yet known to exist, this used the NTSC version of the episode. An episodic release (with the PAL version of episode one) was released on 13 February 1995, although episode two was slightly edited due to BBC Video mistakenly using a cut version of episode 2 returned from ABC TV in Australia (episodes 3 & 4 were also from ABC TV), instead of the UK master tapes of episodes 2-4. The serial will be released on DVD in the UK on 18 June 2012. The region 1 release date is 10 July 2012.[5][6] References ^ Shaun Lyon et al. (31 March 2007). "Death to the Daleks".
