Podcasts about Castrovalva

We had to a dwelling of simplicity for our latest episode, as we look at the Black Archive release of Castrovalva. We speak to author Andrew Orton about TV studios, film recordings, mathematics and philosophy, which all feature in the book.

This episode, we finally get ourselves started on the Fifth Doctor era as the Master returns (again) to taunt our new Doctor in Castrovalva… heh heh heh…   Join us as we discuss just how young Peter Davison was when this was made, whether or not Adric was a little TOO excited at being tied up in the Master's web (or if it's just the harness), Tegan's need for “enormous thrust,” Bidmead's myriad weaknesses, and how the Master THINKS that he's a dom, but is clearly just a brat and all he wants is kisses (because he DESERVES them!)… this might be our most unhinged episode yet, to be honest.   If you would like to watch along with us, you can find the this oddity available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).

We continue where we left off in episode 27 with our exploration of the 1976 British anthology series "Beasts," written by the legendary Nigel Kneale (who now has his own dedicated page on our website!), tonight we watch the first of two episodes "The Dummy." Directed by Don Leaver (not Cleaver), a veteran of many shows from our youth and boasts credits on two episodes of "Hammer House of Horror": "Witching Time" and "The Mark of Satan"  Bernard Horsfal as Clyde Boydl: He appeared in classic TV series like the very first episode of "The Avengers" and a four "Doctor Who" serials: "The Mind Robber," "The War Games," "The Planet of the Daleks," and "The Deadly Assassin." Glyn Houston as Sidney Stewart: another "Doctor Who" alumnus, having featured in "The Hand of Fear" and "The Awakening." The fantastically named Thorley Walters as Sir Ramsey: bringing a wealth of genre experience to the table, playing the Burgermeister in "Vampire Circus, "Dr. Hertz in "Frankenstein Created Woman" and Inspector Frisch in "Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed,". Notably, Michael Sheard as the Sergeant, who gained fame for his portrayal of the tyrannical schoolteacher Mr. Bronson in Grange Hill during the mid-1980s. He also developed a niche for playing Adolf Hitler, appearing in four films: "Rogue Male," "The Dirty Dozen: Next Mission," "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," an uncredited role in "Hitler of the Andes." and in the TV series "The Tomorrow People." Sheard also made appearances in Doctor Who: "The Ark," "Mind of Evil," "Pyramid of Mars," "The Invisible Enemy," "Castrovalva," and "Remembrance of the Daleks. We also see Lillias Walker as Joan Eastgate - her obligatory Doctor Who appearance being "Terror of the Zygons", was married to Peter Vaughan, who starred in "Warning to the Curious." (episode 21) Patricia Haines as Sheila Boy - She also starred in "Virgin Witch" with first-time actor Vicky Michelle. Haines was married to Michael Caine with whom she had a daughter; sadly, this was her final screen role.  And finally, of course, one of our most featured actors, Clive Swift (or as the Apple Podcasts AI transcript generator calls him, Kloof Swift). We've covered his career several times now, and I highly recommend Andrew Screens ‘Book of Beasts' blog for a fantastic, exhaustive biography.  Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

Joe & Jack; ‘Don't try to make a fool of me!' The duo reach the end and wonder if they ever really existed at all, and if the holiday has done us some good. Is Jack's childhood maintained?

Joe & Jack; 'we're caught in a space time trap!' Just what are the Master's best and worst disguises? What would it be like to be trapped in recursive occlusion drunk? And does something finally happen in the story?

Joe & Jack; ‘He's gone, the Doctor's gone!' Zero drama and spectacle, and Jack & Joe take a lovely walk through the English countryside. Is this the point where Jack realises his childhood lies?

Joe& Jack; ‘we're heading straight into the biggest explosion in history!' Can you be subjective about a TV show you loved as a kid? Will we spot Adric's cock? Is this the biegest Doctor Who story?

We are joined by Ian Winterton of Cutaway Comics fame to look at Fifth Doctor story “Castrovalva”. Listen/download on iTunes …Continue reading →

It seems that in the Time Ram Universe (TRU?) Paul McGann's Doctor Who was introduced to the Americans in 1996 with... 'Castrovalva'. In other words, the Master, complex continuity and endless TARDIS scenes. A sure fire hit! In this podcast (guest-starring Melanie Clark), we explore that possibility, but with added card counting, math vs maths and civilisations wiped out by swimming pool Stonehenges. Roundels forever!

No rest for the weary as the newly regenerated Doctor and his companions are forced to evade detention but lose Adric to The Master in the process. Things are made worse by the fact that The Doctor isn't quite himself as something is affecting his post regenerative state. This week, Paddy and Tricia follow The Doctor and his companions on his brand new era as they attempt to stay evade The Master's deadly traps. In order to do that, they first need to bring The Doctor to the healing world of Castrovalva.

New season, New Doctor! It's the Tegan and Nyssa show for most of Castrovalva as Adric is away with the Master and the Doctor spends most of the time in a box. 

This week, we continue our celebration of 60 years of adventures in space and time as we say bienvenue to Peter Davison's 5th Doctor in 1982's Castrovalva

As much as I love Season 18 and its novelizations... the Season 19 premiere, "Castrovalva", and its novelization, are right up there. Especially the novelization, says my guest this week, Graeme Burk (@graemeburk) from Reality Bomb. We both read out favorite passages from the book -- and then quickly get off on several wide-ranging tangents, before coming back to the greatness of "Castrovalva". Simon Guerrier (@0tralala) recently tweeted out the first page of David Whitaker's unfinished novelization of "The Enemy of the World". Groucho Marx duets with his then 8-year-old daughter on a song from The Mikado.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmEuXaea8rY Graeme references the 1964 documentary on Culloden, which can be found here.

It's time to start a new era once again as welcome the Fifth Doctor. We hurtle towards Event One before escaping to the restful environs of Castrovalva. Obviously, it's not going to be peaceful though, is it?

The Doctor's latest regeneration has proven more unstable than his previous ones. and his companions have to help him recuperate on the planet of Castrovalva. but things are further complicated when Adric is captured by the Master, who wants to take advantage of the Doctor in his weakened state this is castrovalva welcome to regenerated why not take a look at our social media and give us a review on Apple Podcasts merchandise -https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/regenerated facebook - www.facebook.com/regenerateddoctorwhopodcast/ twitter - twitter.com/Regenerated1963

Joe & Steven; caught in a space time trap! Who loves CHB more than CHB? Can Doctor Who work around an abstract concept? Will the Doctor face more than shifting architecture? Is this hard science? Plenty of glorious poetry, magic and melodrama.

Joe & Steven; the Occlusion closes in! What about the chapter titles? Time to talk Peter Davison and his thoughtful interiority. How would you rewrite this for a modern audience? More awesome new passages as we continue to celebrate the transcendent tome.

Joe & Steven; still no way in! What does top ten mean to Steven? Frock or gun explained. Two female leads are taking control of Doctor Who for one week and we're enamoured. Russian Roulette with the TARDIS? Aussie pilot? Hunted? Sedate, beautiful locations? Oh yes!

Joe & Steven; reading & watching! Come with us as we head into the head of Christopher Hamilton Bidmead and explore the world of Castrovalva in prose. Featuring our favourite passages and a love for the TV serial too. ‘He's changing' said Adric, ‘the Doctor's regenerating!'

The class focuses on epistemological themes such as the Kabala-influenced idea of Logopolis, ideas of knowledge as social construction, popular theory discourse before the Sokal Hoax and Shardovan as epistemological hero.

On this weeks episode of the podcast we sit down to discuss the Doctor's father-in law. I mean the Fifth Doctor, Peter Davison, in his first episode: Castrovalva. Will Luu simp for Nyssa or Tegan this week? Listen to find out!

Lewis Moon and Dr Cool are back once again for an episode which they claim is almost a natural conversation which has somehow been recorded, but do not let that deter you from listening, as they grant us a Peter Davison era related programme featuring redeeming the Irredeemable on his post regeneration story Castrovalva and a review of Frontios. (Next Week-Redeeming the Irredeemable hits Closing Time while the Sixth Doctor gets his last review on the podcast with his first episode, the Twin Dilemma.)

Lewis Moon and Dr Cool are back for the usual array of distraction filled, sweet eating, childish humoured chat over the course of a forty minute period, where they share their views on Tom Baker era story Revenge of the Cybermen and Redeeming the Irredeemable reaches the often slated Capaldi story Sleep No more. (Next Week-It's a Davison focus show as Frontios gets a review and Castrovalva gets redeemed)

No, it's not a new motor oil. Castrovalva is the first adventure of the Fifth Doctor, Peter Davidson, and Jimmy, Dom, and Fr. Cory dig into the story, the deeper layers, and how Doctor Who changed with this episode. The post WHO074: Castrovalva appeared first on StarQuest Media.

The , , and arrive on a spaceship which is headed for . On board they meet natives of Earth from various different eras, and also three Urbankans: Monarch, Persuasion and Enlightenment. What are the aliens' intentions when they reach Earth? Plot The TARDIS materializes on board a vast and advanced alien spacecraft, observed by a hovering surveillance device which conveys the arrival of the Doctor, Tegan, Nyssa and Adric to an observing being that is in control of the vessel. The TARDIS crew become separated and the Doctor and Tegan reach the bridge of the vessel where the green-skinned commander introduces himself as Monarch, ruler of Urbanka, and his associates and fellow Urbankans are the Ministers of Enlightenment and Persuasion. The leader is intrigued by talk of current Earth civilisation and reveals their ship is bound for Earth. Shortly afterward Enlightenment and Persuasion seemingly regenerate into human form, dressed in garments Tegan designed to demonstrate contemporary Earth fashions. The TARDIS crew are reunited as guests aboard the ship and it soon becomes apparent that there are four distinct human cultures represented on the vessel by a small group of humans – Ancient Greeks, the leader of whom is the philosopher Bigon; Chinese Mandarins and their leader Lin Futu; Princess Villagra and representatives of the Mayan people; and Kurkutji and his tribesmen, of the very ancient Australian Aborigine culture. The Urbankans have made periodic visits to Earth, each time getting speedier in their journeys. This time they have left their homeworld after erratic solar activity, storing three billion of their species on slides aboard their craft, and it seems the current journey is their last and they now wish to settle on Earth, which they are due to reach in four days time. The Doctor becomes suspicious of Monarch and soon learns that the Urbankan does not plan on peaceful co-existence: instead, he has developed a virus to wipe out humanity, and this will be unleashed before the Urbankans disembark. He also finds out that the humans aboard are not descendents of the original abductees, but are the original people taken from Earth and converted into androids like the three Urbankans walking around on board. The four leaders of the peoples have been given additional circuits to help them reason, but this facility can be taken away, as Bigon learns when he crosses Monarch once too often. He explained to the Doctor that Monarch strip-mined and destroyed Urbanka in a quest for minerals to improve the ship, and now plans to do the same to Earth. Monarch believes that if he can move the ship faster than the speed of light, he can pilot it back to the beginning of time and discover himself as God… Adric, nevertheless, is rather taken with Monarch, and tensions between him and the Doctor become very strained. It takes the truth to break the alien's hold over the boy. The Doctor now sets about over-throwing Monarch and, with the help of the human androids led by a restored Bigon, a revolution is put into effect. Enlightenment and Persuasion are de-circuited, while Monarch himself is exposed to the deadly toxin and killed. It seems he was a product of the weak “flesh time” after all, having never, as the Doctor suspected, been fully converted into an android. The humanoid androids decide to pilot the vessel to a new home on a new world, while the TARDIS crew departs. Back in the console room, Nyssa suddenly collapses to the floor in a dead faint. Cast notes Guest stars in this serial include as Monarch and as Lin Futu. See . Continuity The provides an alternative explanation, beyond mere exhaustion, for Nyssa's collapse at the end of this story. The canonicity of the audio dramas, however, is unclear.When the Doctor tells Tegan "Who'll believe us? We'll be laughed at!" when she wants to get to Earth to warn them about Monarch's plan, he has clearly forgotten the purpose/existence of , the , for which he was unpaid Scientific Advisor (through most of his ). He makes use of his U.N.I.T. connections , however.This is the third occasion of a recurring theme where Adric 'betrays' the Doctor, or else , Nyssa or Tegan, gaining the villains' trust and then later saving them. See , , and, to a lesser degree, and Goofs The Doctor describes the as having reached its peak "8000 years ago"; the very earliest Maya settlements began 4000 years ago.The Doctor claims the population of the Earth to be 3 Billion, where as it was around 4.5 Billion by 1980, being about 3 Billion in around 1960. Few non-indigenous Australians speak an (of which around 200 exist) as fluently as Tegan demonstrated with her conversation with Kurkutji. It is almost certain that the language that Kurkutji spoke 40,000 years ago would have since evolved into a totally different language that his people would be using today.

As a result, the character of Nyssa was to be written out of the series at the end of this story. However, Peter Davison strongly opposed this move because he felt that Nyssa was the companion who was "most suited to his vision of the Doctor." Given this, producer John Nathan-Turner and the rest of the production team relented.
