DIDDLY DUM PODCAST 087 - All of Our Dinosaurs Are Missing
Episode Duration: 0 minutes and 0 seconds
This week, we take a look at Earthshock (the Season 19, Fifth Doctor story from 1982) and we lift the lid on the long-concealed scandal of overenthusiastic sentry-extras in Doctor Who.
Along the way, we take a good look at coarse acrostics, David Banks’s career as a soap star and Beryl Reid’s lookalike. And, if any of you think that a school bully breaking one of his toys in Hayden’s book was the most heartbreaking thing you’ve ever heard about, then our swerve down the side road of the Planet of the Apes TV Series from 1974 and how it inspired a young Mark’s imagination may well leave you in tears.

(00:44:10) “Planet of the Apes” is an American science fiction television series that aired on CBS in 1974. The series stars Roddy McDowall, Ron Harper, James Naughton, Mark Lenard and Booth Colman. It is based on the 1968 Planet of the Apes film and its sequels, which were inspired by the novel Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boulle. The series starred Roddy McDowall as Galen, a young chimpanzee that is sent by Zaius with Urko to ensure the safety of two humans that have survived a crash landing on Earth. McDowall previously played Cornelius and Caesar throughout the various film versions. Mark’s Galen doll, now sadly lost to a tragically heroic death by a laser defence system, can be seen here.
(01:01:00) The “cold open” song from Craig Ferguson’s show can be found here.
(01:12:49) “Not On Your Nellie” is a British sitcom that ran from 1974 until 1975. It starred veteran actress Hylda Baker as Nellie Pickersgill, a Bolton woman who moves to London to help run her ailing father’s Chelsea pub. Seventeen episodes of the series were produced by London Weekend Television for the ITV network.
(01:14:56) Our suggestions of what the cyber sentries are gossiping about can be found on our Tumblr page here. The scene of the overenthusiastic Tommy from “The Pandorica Opens” can be found on our Tumblr page here.

SHOWNOTES
(00:01:42) “Child Out of Time” is our own Hayden’s long-awaited book telling the story of how, having been born in the year Doctor Who was cancelled, he still managed to grow up loving Doctor Who during its Wilderness Years. Copies are hoped to be in the shops by Christmas. Until then, paperbacks can be purchased on Amazon (here) as can Kindle editions (here). Hayden’s own website (here) and his Facebook author page (here) give more details.
(00:03:20) “The Six Ages of Podcasting” – Hayden is here referring to episode 5 of the Diddly Dum Podcast back in February 2014 (actually titled “The Six Ages of Fan”) in the days when Hayden was a mere listener to the podcast and hadn’t yet morphed into a mover and a shaker. In the episode, we discussed how the life of the fan changes as we grow older. The episode was also noted for the gorgeous art which The Rev (@skaromedia https://skaromedia.deviantart.com/) drew and painted to accompany it which can be found on our Tumblr page (here).
(00:09:21) Clayton Hickman’s designs for Redbubble (as plugged by our own Mark) can be found here. One of the T-shirts of Clayton’s designs can be seen modelled here by our own Mark.

DIDDLY DUM PODCAST 080 - I Really Love Your Cyber-Feet
Episode Duration: 0 minutes and 0 seconds
This week all four of The Five Faces of Delusion return to the microphones to review “World Enough and Time” and “The Doctor Falls”, the last 2 episodes of Doctor Who Series 10.
Along the way, with the passing of the series finale, we finally lift the reporting embargo on Allan and Erica’s visit to the Cardiff set pre-series and we learn what they really did see; Mark returns home from a convention to find that he’s missed a Janet Fielding visit to home town; Hayden splits his primary school stage; we examine the Mary Poppins themes in the series finale; and we end up looking at themes of addiction in the Master.

DIDDLY DUM PODCAST 079 - Yes He Can
Episode Duration: 0 minutes and 0 seconds
“Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let PC McGarry wear black cotton gloves.”
The Whoseum is in deepest mourning this week for the loss of that titan of our childhood, Brian Cant. Nevertheless, Series 10 continue apace and reviews of “Empress of Mars” and “The Eaters of Light” are called for.
Along the way, Allan relates the history of Half Man Half Biscuit, Doc reveals the shocking truth behind his academic record, Mark recalls a curious meeting in a Kentish pub, and we reveal the truth about “Zulu”.

DIDDLY DUM PODCAST 072 - A Mild Shampoo for the Mind
Episode Duration: 0 minutes and 0 seconds
For the second podcast running, the Five Faces of Delusion are only four this week as Allan has gone missing, summoned away at the last minute from his Northern fastness on the Welsh Marches by a mysterious invitation to Cardiff from the movers and shakers of Doctor Who. Our faithless listeners can rest assured that, come next time, we’ll be pumping Allan thoroughly in the debriefing room (audio only alas). In his absence this week, we start a two-part tribute to Patrick Troughton, covering “The Highlanders” and “Tomb of the Cybermen”.Along the way, Hayden’s Jam Pantry (hitherto thought impregnable) gets raided; we examine the curious role played by the Spurs Supporters Club at the Battle of Culloden (with a rare find of a piece of music more ear-shredding than bagpipes); Hayden auditions for TV game shows; Toberman gets a good mind-rinse with Cyber-shampoo and we drool over the long awaited Issue 3 of Vworp Vworp magazine.

This week, the Diddly Dum Podcast is brought to you by the letter A. Two things are missing this week – Hayden and all Doc’s notes for his Whoseum segment. As a result, only Mark and Allan have exhibits to present – a wheelbarrow full of charred fragments of blue wood (which looks surprisingly like the debris of a TARDIS) and a broken link.
Along the way, Allan performs his first ever live stand-up gig, we investigate the unexpected origins of the presidential salute, we follow what happened to the Dalek ship prop after Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 AD (1966), and we examine the link between Shakespeare’s punk phase and Vincent Price’s horror films.

DIDDLY DUM PODCAST 070 - Surfeit of Beef
Episode Duration: 0 minutes and 0 seconds
This week, The Five Faces of Delusion take a look at two stories from Jon Pertwee’s final season. With “Invasion of the Dinosaurs” we show how, if you look beyond the ropey models and the heavy “Eastenders” influences, this story is essentially Malcolm Hulke doing to the Communist Party of Great Britain what Robert Holmes did to the Inland Revenue with “The Sun Makers”. With “Planet of the Spiders” we draw a direct line from this story to the twin literary masterpieces “Flowers for Algernon” and “Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH”.
Along the way, we look at how Rick James was knocked off the top spot he’d occupied since “The Mutants”. We question whether one’s attitude to the Third Doctor’s authoritarianism changes with the onset of fatherhood. We explain how The Whomobile was the Wonderbra of its day. And we poke our noses into Richard Franklin’s political career.
Mark’s daughter, Polly, was so inspired by “Invasion of the Dinosaurs” that she wants to watch another UNIT story next. Send us your recommendations for the best UNIT story for Mark to watch with her.

DIDDLY DUM PODCAST 069 - Three Candles
Episode Duration: 0 minutes and 0 seconds
Come and have a piece of cake as we celebrate the third birthday of the Diddly Dum Podcast. Originally intending to review “The Return of Doctor Mysterio”, we get slightly sidetracked by listing what Doctor Who goodies we got for Christmas. Then Hayden regales us with a tale of his Christmas visit to The Centre for Computing History in Cambridge where he discovered playable games consoles and games from his youth.Eventually, we leave the subject of the 90s Doctor Who pinball game and the Activision Ghostbusters game from the 80s and turn to chatting about the latest Doctor Who Christmas Special.
Along the way, we discover Peter Cushing’s unusual hobby, we keep finding William Russell in the seasonal TV fare, and we look back to a very early podcast where we covered an early computer game featuring the voices of Jon Pertwee and Ian Dury.

Along the way, Allan covers holograms on the Liverpool waterfront, Mark tells how he once nearly ruined a theatre performance by Jan Chappell (Cally from Blake’s 7), Hayden recalls his seminal “Gallifrey Galaxy Globetrotters” work for Celestial Toyroom and Doc asks why, if monkeys are so smart, they’ve never produced anything like Northern Soul.
