DW Don't Blink

Originally recorded around June 9, 2017. I know, took long enough to post this one. Somehow it got lost in the wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff. So enjoy our reactions to watching the 270th episode of Doctor Who!

A reconstruction of this four part historical episode that drops the Doctor and Steve in the middle of France during the height of tensions between Catholics and Protestants is what we had to watch this week, and we know how much Krysten loves reconstructions!

We are back with William Hartnell for the second half of episode 21. Starting off with the first Christmas Special where the Doctor, along with Sara and Steve travel from London to Hollywood. Then off to a Volcanic planet where we meet up with a meddlesome character from a previous episode and to Anchient Egypt before the Doctor can get back to planet Kembel in order to put a stop to the Daleks plan.

We are back with William Hartnell for the first half of episode 21. The Continuation of the story from Episode 19, Mission to the Unknown (AKA The Dalek Cutaway). We come back to the planet Kembel with that ill fated scouting mission where they were never able to warn Earth about the Dalek plot. We fine out that Earth has a traitor in the very person sworn to protect the solar system and a daring grab by the Doctor of the core of the Dalek weapon leads to a chase through space. This first 6 parts of this episode aired from 11/13/1965 through 12/18/1968 setting us up for Part 7, the first Christmas Special.

We watch another old episode, one of the only ones available on video in its entirety from this season, The Ark (not to be confused with The Ark in Space which starred Tom Baker as the Doctor from season 12). The Doctor, William Hartnell, along with Dodo and Steve land in an Ark ship carrying the human race from a doomed Earth following the expansion of the sun as it started to die. Interestingly, this means the Doctor has been witness to both the start of their journey by having been on Platform One to witness the end of Earth in the First Season of the Ninth Doctor and the end of their journey to the planet Refusis II. The Ark is piloted by the Guardians while most of the humans are in stasis miniaturized. Also brought along are many flora and fauna form Earth as well as the Monoids. An alien race which the humans have enlisted as servants. The Doctors companions bring along a cold which threatens the ship since the humans and Monoids have no immunity to this virus anymore. Once solved they leave only to end up back on the Ark 700 years later where they find the roles have reversed on the ship in the intervening time as they approach their destination with the Monoids being cruel masters to their Guardian slaves, and they find the planet not as uninhabited as they think it is.

We leap forward to a weird mix between Nov 5, 1966 and November 2016 for a special episode. It is a bit out of order but they were showing the animated reconstruction of the first serial of the second Doctor, Patrick Troughton.

This was released in theaters in the US on Nov 14th and we took the opportunity to watch it even if it means being a bit out of order.

So we have been gone a while. Here is the explanation. No we are not quitting. We have recorded new episodes but due to hitting a limit on our storage had to redo the audio files to make them smaller. Due to that we will be removing all the episodes and then re-uploading episodes 1-30 (and the few newer ones we did) before the newly recorded ones get uploaded. Where possible I will at least try to note the original posting date and going forward will keep track of recording dates as well. If you already listened to everything, then you want to start with Season 04, Episode 31 The Highlander to hear the new content which should be uploading in the next few days!
