Notes and links
Ma Tyler is played by Daphne Heard, who was Peter Bowles's mother Mrs Polouvicka in 70s/80s sitcom To The Manor Born. Here's the first episode.
We've mentioned him before, but H. P. Lovecraft was a twentieth-century racist and horror writer, who popularised the idea that the world is hideously haunted by nightmarish creatures from beyond the dawn of time. His most famous short story is The Call of Cthulhu.
Fans of nightmarish creatures from beyond the dawn of time will enjoy Quatermass and the Pit, a BBC television programme from 1959 featuring, um, nightmarish creatures from beyond the dawn of time.
The Stone Tape was a 1972 television play by the author of Quatermass, about, you know, totally scary things. It's available on YouTube. You can also find a recent radio version, starring the lovely Jane Asher, here.
Sapphire and Steel was a crazily fascinating and boring ITV science fiction series from the 1970s and 80s, starring Joanna Lumley and David McCallum. And, of course, there's a Big Finish version of the series, but it can't be found anywhere on their website for rights reasons, probably.
Should we mock the 70s? Do let's. Here's a link to the website of Erich von Daniken, who believed that human culture was totally influenced by aliens.
And while we're mocking the 70s, you might enjoy Desmond Morris's The Naked Ape and Manwatching.
Survivors is a hilarious 1970s TV series, written by Terry Nation, in which a horrible plague wipes out everyone except Dennis Lill, his moustache, and a small number of other middle class people. But at least Patrick Troughton is in an episode.
The terribly handsome actor who plays Stael in this story also plays Carnell in the Blakes 7 episode Weapon. He goes on to reprise his role in a totally-not-Big-Finish series of audio dramas by Magic Bullet Productions.

Episode 51 Ren and Stimpy
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 36 minutes and 38 secondsThis week, Brendan, Nathan and Richard enjoy the worst prawn cocktail of the entire 1970s: it's The Invisible Enemy.
Buy the story!
The Invisible Enemy was released on DVD in 2008 as part of the K9 Tales box set, which also includes the execrable 1981 Christmas spin-off K9 and Company. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK).
Notes and links
We're still in the middle of Doctor Who's Blakes 7 years, and so the terrible cardboard corridor they fly down in Part 1 looks like an extremely low-rent version of the already fairly low-rent Xenon Base in Blakes 7 Season 4.
Roger Dean is an artist famous for his 70s prog-rock album covers, particularly for the band Yes. The picture Richard mentions is the cover of a Lighthouse album called One Fine Day. You can enjoy more of Dean's work on his website, including images he used as evidence when he sued James Cameron for (allegedly) shamelessly ripping him off in Avatar.
Our new work of the week is arcology, which is an "ideal integrated city within a massive vertical structure". Fans of arcologies will enjoy the work of architect Paolo Soleri, as well as the snazzy headquarters of the crew of Thunderbirds 2086.
As always, the world is ending, even in the 1970s, and so it's time to mention Paul Ehrlich's The Population Bomb, as well that indispensible condiment Soylent Green (1973).
I can never stop posting this link to pictures of the chimp-in-a-robot-dog-suit Muffet from the 1970s series of Battlestar Galactica. And if you enjoyed that, you might also enjoy this video of the cute robots Huey, Dewey and Louis from Silent Running (1972).
Fans of having a shrunken Raquel Welch injected into their bloodstream should seek urgent medical attention.

Ren and Stimpy
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 36 minutes and 38 secondsThis week, Brendan, Nathan and Richard enjoy the worst prawn cocktail of the entire 1970s: it’s The Invisible Enemy.
Buy the story!
The Invisible Enemy was released on DVD in 2008 as part of the K9 Tales box set, which also includes the execrable 1981 Christmas spin-off K9 and Company. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK).
Notes and links
We’re still in the middle of Doctor Who’s Blakes 7 years, and so the terrible cardboard corridor they fly down in Part 1 looks like an extremely low-rent version of the already fairly low-rent Xenon Base in Blakes 7 Season 4.
Roger Dean is an artist famous for his 70s prog-rock album covers, particularly for the band Yes. The picture Richard mentions is the cover of a Lighthouse album called One Fine Day. You can enjoy more of Dean’s work on his website, including images he used as evidence when he sued James Cameron for (allegedly) shamelessly ripping him off in Avatar.
Our new work of the week is arcology, which is an “ideal integrated city within a massive vertical structure”. Fans of arcologies will enjoy the work of architect Paolo Soleri, as well as the snazzy headquarters of the crew of Thunderbirds 2086.
As always, the world is ending, even in the 1970s, and so it’s time to mention Paul Ehrlich’s The Population Bomb, as well that indispensible condiment Soylent Green (1973).
I can never stop posting this link to pictures of the chimp-in-a-robot-dog-suit Muffet from the 1970s series of Battlestar Galactica. And if you enjoyed that, you might also enjoy this video of the cute robots Huey, Dewey and Louis from Silent Running (1972).

The Practical Problem with Leaving Someone Alive
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 31 minutes and 17 secondsWell, we should have listened to Mrs Nethercott, really. Yet another story that we all love: the Graham Williams era kicks off with a spectacular Edwardian Base Under Siege™ — it’s Horror of Fang Rock!
Buy the story!
Horror of Fang Rock was released on DVD way back in 2005. So, no, you can’t borrow my copy. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)
Notes and links
Richard’s here this week, but despite that, we don’t make many fabulously obscure references to British television from the 1960s and 70s. (Apart from the obligatory references to The Prisoner and Are You Being Served?, of course.)
Here’s the BBC miniseries Count Dracula (1977), which put paid to Terrance Dicks’s original script, The Vampire Mutations, more of which later. It manages to be both tiresome and terrible, apparently. You can even buy it, if you feel you have to. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)
Fans of television programmes that make you long for a Rutan to join the cast and massacre all the regulars will enjoy When the Boat Comes In, a BBC television series that ran from 1976 to 1981.
Here’s The Ballad of Flannan Isle, which is the poem Tom quotes at the end of the final episode. It’s not great.

While the entire world goes crazy over what might be Daniel Craig’s final outing as Bond (sob!), why not re-visit a much worse Bond film — Thunderball (1965)? We’ll all be donning wetsuits and recording our first underwater commentary next week, and releasing it the following weekend.

Don't You Feel Every Single Centimetre?
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 34 minutes and 27 secondsThis week, we head off into the far future of the distant planet Pluto (yes, we know, shut up), to liberate humanity from the Company, in The Sun Makers. Hey Cordo, don't bogart the pentocyleinicmethylhydrane, man.
Buy the story!
The Sun Makers was released on DVD in 2009. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)
Notes and links
William Simons, who plays sub-Blakean rebel leader Mandrell in this story, is more famous for his role in ITV period police drama series Heartbeat, playing Alf Ventress.
The Company takes Marx's phrase "opiate of the masses" quite literally, drugging its oppressed population to keep them compliant. The Federation will adopt a similar tactic in Season 4 of Blakes 7, using the drug Pylene 50.
Hooray! It's the long-awaited return of German Expressionism.
Richard points out the similarities between this story and The Space Merchants, a 1952 novel by Frederik Pohl and Cyril M. Kornbluth. It's still in print. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)
Richard also points out the story's many visual references to Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927).
How long since we last referenced Susan Sontag's 1964 essay Notes on Camp? Far too long, if you ask me.
Henry Woolf, the Collector in this story, had already appeared in Eric Idle's sketch comedy show Rutland Weekend Television. You can see him with Idle in this sketch, called Gibberish. He also appeared in BBC children's programme Words and Pictures. Watch him here, he's delightful.
After the credits, we chat briefly about the Big Finish Blakes 7 audio series, The Liberator Chronicles.

Episode 52: Remotely Phallic
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 45 minutes and 43 secondsBrendan, Richard and Nathan are menaced, drugged and tied up, which means it's either a normal Saturday night or the rather spectacular Image of the Fendahl.

Image of the Fendahl was released on DVD in 2009. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)
Notes and links
Ma Tyler is played by Daphne Heard, who was Peter Bowles's mother Mrs Polouvicka in 70s/80s sitcom To The Manor Born. Here's the first episode.
We've mentioned him before, but H. P. Lovecraft was a twentieth-century racist and horror writer, who popularised the idea that the world is hideously haunted by nightmarish creatures from beyond the dawn of time. His most famous short story is The Call of Cthulhu.
Fans of nightmarish creatures from beyond the dawn of time will enjoy Quatermass and the Pit, a BBC television programme from 1959 featuring, um, nightmarish creatures from beyond the dawn of time.
The Stone Tape was a 1972 television play by the author of Quatermass, about, you know, totally scary things. It's available on YouTube. You can also find a recent radio version, starring the lovely Jane Asher, here.
Sapphire and Steel was a crazily fascinating and boring ITV science fiction series from the 1970s and 80s, starring Joanna Lumley and David McCallum. And, of course, there's a Big Finish version of the series, but it can't be found anywhere on their website for rights reasons, probably.
Should we mock the 70s? Do let's. Here's a link to the website of Erich von Daniken, who believed that human culture was totally influenced by aliens.
And while we're mocking the 70s, you might enjoy Desmond Morris's The Naked Ape and Manwatching.
Survivors is a hilarious 1970s TV series, written by Terry Nation, in which a horrible plague wipes out everyone except Dennis Lill, his moustache, and a small number of other middle class people. But at least Patrick Troughton is in an episode.
The terribly handsome actor who plays Stael in this story also plays Carnell in the Blakes 7 episode Weapon. He goes on to reprise his role in a totally-not-Big-Finish series of audio dramas by Magic Bullet Productions.

Ma Tyler is played by Daphne Heard, who was Peter Bowles's mother Mrs Polouvicka in 70s/80s sitcom To The Manor Born. Here's the first episode.
We've mentioned him before, but H. P. Lovecraft was a twentieth-century racist and horror writer, who popularised the idea that the world is hideously haunted by nightmarish creatures from beyond the dawn of time. His most famous short story is The Call of Cthulhu.

Episode 51 Ren and Stimpy
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 36 minutes and 38 secondsThis week, Brendan, Nathan and Richard enjoy the worst prawn cocktail of the entire 1970s: it's The Invisible Enemy.
Buy the story!
The Invisible Enemy was released on DVD in 2008 as part of the K9 Tales box set, which also includes the execrable 1981 Christmas spin-off K9 and Company. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK).
Notes and links
We're still in the middle of Doctor Who's Blakes 7 years, and so the terrible cardboard corridor they fly down in Part 1 looks like an extremely low-rent version of the already fairly low-rent Xenon Base in Blakes 7 Season 4.
Roger Dean is an artist famous for his 70s prog-rock album covers, particularly for the band Yes. The picture Richard mentions is the cover of a Lighthouse album called One Fine Day. You can enjoy more of Dean's work on his website, including images he used as evidence when he sued James Cameron for (allegedly) shamelessly ripping him off in Avatar.
Our new work of the week is arcology, which is an "ideal integrated city within a massive vertical structure". Fans of arcologies will enjoy the work of architect Paolo Soleri, as well as the snazzy headquarters of the crew of Thunderbirds 2086.
As always, the world is ending, even in the 1970s, and so it's time to mention Paul Ehrlich's The Population Bomb, as well that indispensible condiment Soylent Green (1973).
I can never stop posting this link to pictures of the chimp-in-a-robot-dog-suit Muffet from the 1970s series of Battlestar Galactica. And if you enjoyed that, you might also enjoy this video of the cute robots Huey, Dewey and Louis from Silent Running (1972).
Fans of having a shrunken Raquel Welch injected into their bloodstream should seek urgent medical attention.

We're still in the middle of Doctor Who's Blakes 7 years, and so the terrible cardboard corridor they fly down in Part 1 looks like an extremely low-rent version of the already fairly low-rent Xenon Base in Blakes 7 Season 4.
Roger Dean is an artist famous for his 70s prog-rock album covers, particularly for the band Yes. The picture Richard mentions is the cover of a Lighthouse album called One Fine Day. You can enjoy more of Dean's work on his website, including images he used as evidence when he sued James Cameron for (allegedly) shamelessly ripping him off in Avatar.
Our new work of the week is arcology, which is an "ideal integrated city within a massive vertical structure". Fans of arcologies will enjoy the work of architect Paolo Soleri, as well as the snazzy headquarters of the crew of Thunderbirds 2086.
As always, the world is ending, even in the 1970s, and so it's time to mention Paul Ehrlich's The Population Bomb, as well that indispensible condiment Soylent Green (1973).
I can never stop posting this link to pictures of the chimp-in-a-robot-dog-suit Muffet from the 1970s series of Battlestar Galactica. And if you enjoyed that, you might also enjoy this video of the cute robots Huey, Dewey and Louis from Silent Running (1972).
Fans of having a shrunken Raquel Welch injected into their bloodstream should seek urgent medical attention.

The Practical Problem with Leaving Someone Alive
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 31 minutes and 17 secondsWell, we should have listened to Mrs Nethercott, really. Yet another story that we all love: the Graham Williams era kicks off with a spectacular Edwardian Base Under Siege™ — it’s Horror of Fang Rock!
Buy the story!
Horror of Fang Rock was released on DVD way back in 2005. So, no, you can’t borrow my copy. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)
Notes and links
Richard’s here this week, but despite that, we don’t make many fabulously obscure references to British television from the 1960s and 70s. (Apart from the obligatory references to The Prisoner and Are You Being Served?, of course.)
Here’s the BBC miniseries Count Dracula (1977), which put paid to Terrance Dicks’s original script, The Vampire Mutations, more of which later. It manages to be both tiresome and terrible, apparently. You can even buy it, if you feel you have to. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)
Fans of television programmes that make you long for a Rutan to join the cast and massacre all the regulars will enjoy When the Boat Comes In, a BBC television series that ran from 1976 to 1981.
Here’s The Ballad of Flannan Isle, which is the poem Tom quotes at the end of the final episode. It’s not great.

While the entire world goes crazy over what might be Daniel Craig’s final outing as Bond (sob!), why not re-visit a much worse Bond film — Thunderball (1965)? We’ll all be donning wetsuits and recording our first underwater commentary next week, and releasing it the following weekend. In the meantime, you can enjoy our existing commentary tracks, Goldfinger (1964), From Russia With Love (1963), and Dr. No (1962).

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 31 minutes and 17 secondsWell, we should have listened to Mrs Nethercott, really. Yet another story that we all love: the Graham Williams era kicks off with a spectacular Edwardian Base Under Siege
-- it's Horror of Fang Rock!Buy the story!
Horror of Fang Rock was released on DVD way back in 2005. So, no, you can't borrow my copy. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)
Notes and links
Richard's here this week, but despite that, we don't make many fabulously obscure references to British television from the 1960s and 70s. (Apart from the obligatory references to The Prisoner and Are You Being Served?, of course.)
Here's the BBC miniseries Count Dracula (1977), which put paid to Terrance Dicks's original script, The Vampire Mutations, more of which later. It manages to be both tiresome and terrible, apparently. You can even buy it, if you feel you have to. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)
Fans of television programmes that make you long for a Rutan to join the cast and massacre all the regulars will enjoy When the Boat Comes In, a BBC television series that ran from 1976 to 1981.
Here's The Ballad of Flannan Isle, which is the poem Tom quotes at the end of the final episode. It's not great.

While the entire world goes crazy over what might be Daniel Craig's final outing as Bond (sob!), why not re-visit a much worse Bond film -- Thunderball (1965)? We'll all be donning wetsuits and recording our first underwater commentary next week, and releasing it the following weekend. In the meantime, you can enjoy our existing commentary tracks, Goldfinger (1964), From Russia With Love (1963), and Dr. No (1962). You can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on our website, as well as on Twitter and Facebook.
