Send us a textAnother episode from the OTTL vault, recorded way back in 2014."Episode #7 sees us discuss Steven Moffat's debut story The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances which we compare with Robert Holmes' first offering for Who, The Krotons. Does each story give us an idea of what to expect when both eventually graduate to the big role at the head of the series? And just how would the Tumblr community have reacted to Robert Holmes?"Support the showFollow us on TwitterLike us on FacebookBuy us a pint

¿Pueden ser los Daleks prescindibles? la respuesta la encontraremos en este serial del 2º Doctor. Lo que aparentemente debía ser una alternativa a esos seres se convirtió en un fiasco. O al menos esta es la impresión que ha dejado en javi y Esther. Esta quincena hablamos de un serial que bien podría ofrecerse en sesión doble con The Dominators. Interesante a ratos, fallido en muchos otros, pero dejamos en vuestras manos el veredicto final.

The 2nd Doctor, Zoe, and Jamie find themselves on a stinky planet with people that don't stink (we think) and there are some robots who are real stinkers (figurative, not literal).

EPISODE 250, PEOPLE! Who'd have ever thought we'd make it this far! This time around we watch The Krotons (which were designed to replace the Daleks as the Doctor's main enemy...you'll see why that didn't work out). The Doctor, Zoe, and Jamie land on a rather stinky planet. Mainly, that's because of the sulfur content, but it's also stinky because for over a thousand years the locals have been ruled over by The Krotons! See, the Krotons have a machine that, well, it needs brains! Kinda weird, we agree, but our TARDIS team shows up just in time to be part of an uprising amongst the locals that doesn't quite go the way you'd expect. After a bit of a chemistry lesson, The Krotons are defeated and dissolved like the crystalline candy they sort of look like!

We also plan to review the audio adventure Return of the Krotons, available from Big Finish.
We turn the clock back 40 years, to November 1981. Dave and Kenny were still at primary school, Tom was in his late teens, and Doctor Who was back on TV - but, unusually, it was old Doctor Who. The trio discuss their memories of The Face Faces of Doctor Who repeat season, with An Unearthly Child, The Krotons, Carnival of Monsters, The Three Doctors and Logopolis.
We're on alien planet for the first time since The Krotons! It's corporations vs. colonizers, with an ancient weapon of mass destruction in the background! Oh, and since its Season 8, the Master shows up, in disguise. Sort of. Whatever. It's one of the less-loved serials of the season in Colony in Space! During the episode, Reilly gets his lawyer on, Julie gets frustrated at the role given to Jo, Anthony brings up the sunk cost fallacy, and Don has never been so happy to see a quarry. We all contemplate how similar this is to the very earliest Doctor Who serials. If you would like to watch along with us, this story is available for streaming at both Britbox US and Britbox UK.

When you hear the words, "a Doctor Who monster created to succeed the Daleks," you know the chances of a train wreck are high. Sometimes you get something so bad it's good (hello, Mechanoids!), and sometimes you get The Krotons. The Krotons don't always attempt to influence primitive civilizations, but when they do, they're obsessed with finding high brains — which makes them a lot like today's Big Tech CEOs, just made of crystal and with a propensity to "disperse" those who don't meet the bar. They might be hard to take seriously, but at least Patrick Troughton is here to reassure us that it's OK to laugh.

The vast knowledge of the universe is now yours tiny mortal....except for that....and that...and that. This week back Paddy and Tricia discuss the TARDIS crew's trip to the world of the Gonds, where the natives live in a deadly quid pro quo relationship with their mysterious benefactors and overlords, the Krotons.
This episode, the Watchers look back on the extreme highs and even more extreme lows of Season 6 in their latest trademark Season retrospective, blending award-show style categories, qualitative measures, and questions put to us by our audience via social media. Over the course of the episode, Don talks about the destructive impacts of the Quarks on their creators' careers, Anthony gets himself mixed up between The Dominators and The Krotons (blame the 1990s VHS releases), Julie continues her Jamie obsession (knowing that this is one of her last opportunities to do so), and Reilly completely fails to accurately anticipate who everyone else will choose as “best regular.” Together, the team ponder whether they will ever re-watch The Space Pirates. Other media mentioned in this episode: The Princess Bride (Amazon US | Amazon UK) Spaceballs (Amazon US | Amazon UK) Sixth Doctor Land of Fiction Trilogy: City of Spires (BigFinish.com) The Wreck of the Titan (BigFinish.com) Legend of the Cybermen (BigFinish.com) Finally, you can also follow us and interact with us on various forms of social media - Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

This episode, we discuss the script debut of the legendary writer Robert Holmes, in a story where a group of students use the power of acid to overthrow their educational overlords! Surprisingly, it’s not footage of student riots from the 1960s – it’s actually The Krotons! Over the course of the episode, Don gets passionate about canon, Reilly contemplates the hours of fun that would be a Kroton video game, Julie tries to make sense of why the Gonds never previously rose up against the Krotons, and Anthony gives a mini history lesson. The entire team discusses how utterly terrible and nonsensical the Krotons’ method of powering their spacecraft actually is.

Welcome to The Fun Factory: trespassers will be self-prosecuted. The Valeyard (aka The Flaw Doctor) makes the most of a unique Time Lord feature and gives his own SJW predecessor a right legal leathering on Space Station SFX. But they still find time for trips to Camber Quicksands and Popplewick’s House of Exploding Quills, where the waiting room is spacious but gives you that sinking feeling. The Doctor quotes, the Master gloats and Glitz dotes on bank notes, while the Keeper is not averse to the odd slide tackle to protect his Panatropic Net (even though Mel always aims for row Z). But did Jim and Martin find The Ultimate Foe ultimately forgettable or a worthy way to end an era? Listen to find out. The lads also review the audiobooks of The Krotons and The Curse of Fenric. Also available on Spotify.

While looking for a drama beginning with the letter Q, having decided to ignore that programme about that Bernard fellow, we quickly agreed that A Question of Attribution would make an excellent choice, partly as we knew it to be a celebrated and award winning drama, but also because it would be our first Alan Bennett. Oh mother! First written and performed for the stage in 1988, this drama about the fourth member of the Cambridge Spy Ring, Sir Anthony Blunt, was adapted for television in 1991 and features James Fox as Blunt, David Calder as his interrogator Chubb, and Prunella Scales as HMQ (Her Majesty the Queen). As well as praising Bennett's deft script and the performances of Fox, Calder and Scales, Andy and Martin discussed public access to art, the value of a 'time in Perth' clock, and the identity of the fifth member of the Cambridge Spy Ring. Step forward Lemaitre from The Reign of Terror and indeed Beta from The Krotons. Or maybe not. It doesn't take the pair long to get into politics and the dangers of our post-truth world, in a week when Britain was set to break international law because of the self-serving idiocy of its current government. What fun! Next Time: Ready When You Are, Mr McGill

Episode 24 sees Andy and Alex Gond joined once again by Brian Gond as they talk about Robert Holmes first Doctor Who story The Krotons. Andy remembers his first experience of it during the Five Faces of Doctor Who season in 1981, while Alex recalls the video release. Brian meanwhile just makes Kroton noises. As ever, various important questions are asked: Who is the Grumpy Elf? Why is Episode 1 so darn cosy? And, why didn't the Krotons accelerate the Gonds learning much earlier? Along the way there's a quiz for which Andy and Alex join forces, a struggle to come up with a planet that might be an anagram of Athens, and a debate about the correct spelling of Gravitron. It's Gravitron.

Join the Something Who gang - Richard, Giles, Paul and Mike - while we ponder first stories, Autons, where we originally saw the stories and who thought it was a good idea to invite Robert Holmes back after The Krotons and The Space Pirates.

"The Doctor's almost as clever as I am." Zoe Heriot may be the Krotons' pet but she must have been expelled from modesty school. Yes, this is The Krotons, a saga of sub-standard scientists, snaky CCTV spies and shouty fridges from another world. The Doctor flunks, Jamie fights and Zoe infuriates while the Gonds lack the gonads to take on their reclusive rulers. Will Beta reveal the secret of transmat to his backward brethren (or is it still at Beta stage)? From which Brummie enclave of Johannesburg do the Krotons hail? Will the Doctor's twanged nipple ever recover? And do Jim and Martin think the story is the work of High Brains or should it be dispersed? Find out here.
It's an exciting day for at least one of us as film critic Thomas Caldwell (Plato's Cave) picks The Krotons for us to tackle as our latest Episode of Death. But does the story deserve a re-evaluation or should it be dissipated?
Toni and Joe are joined by @truestoriesaboutme to discuss Robert Holmes, the Muppets, and salad in the Classic Doctor Who serial The Krotons. This episode is brought to you by Friend of Rassilon Matt Golden. If you're interested in being a Friend of Rassilon, click here.

“All right, there’s no need to shout! Now go away, and don’t fuss me. No, come back. What’s this? It’s all right, I know. Right, fire away. I’m ready.” In a set of episodes that rewards viewers with timeless dialogue (“Oh, my giddy aunt!”), delightfully cold and heartless robotic killing machines, dramatic tension between a partisan populace, and more than a fair share of punches thrown, lasers fired, and chemistry lessons learned, this multifaceted sci-fi story is yet another in the long list […]
And the sequel, Batnipples Forever. And here we see the return of one of the greats of Doctor Who writing. Mostly. The Krotons was a bit of a dud, but hey, it was his first serial. This week Robert Holmes returns to write The Caves of Androzani, aired in March of 1984. Doctor Who ©Continue reading →

We're back! After taking a summer break last month, we put three more Doctor Who adventures under the microscope. This month, the Second Doctor's peddling acid to the locals in The Krotons, the Eleventh Doctor joins the clergy in The Time of Angels, while the Fifth Doctor watches the bodies pile up in Resurrection of the Daleks. Along the way, we hear about an extraordinary unmade episode, wonder why Turlough never does anything, and get to grips with perhaps the worst scene in broadcast Doctor Who ever. For the first time, we also feature some of your letters! If you've got any comments you'd like to feature in an upcoming episode or if you just want to say hi, email us at hello@illexplainlater.com, tweet us, or drop us a line on Facebook. As ever, do keep the iTunes reviews coming as well - it all helps!
In this weeks show, Phil and Paul ponder over the Target novelisation of The Krotons written by Terrance Dicks. As this is neither Robert Holmes finest script and neither is it one the 2nd Doctor's finest stories, does the book address the many issues of this story, namely poor characterisation and some really clunky baddies? Listen to find out! And in the news, Series 10 filming is underway with some casting and crew announcements to boot, Peter Capaldi makes the ballot stages of this years Emmy's, there's Damehood news and in Omega's Tat Corner, Phil plugs the Who's He? Podcast Youtube channel and there's expensive antique tat which leads Phil and Paul down double entendre alley!

In episode 33, we begin briefly with the Steven Moffat Doctor Who News, with the news of Matthew Waterhouse reprising his role in the Doctor Who Short Trips later in 2016 and 2017. Then the podcast begins with your discussion of the Doctor Who releases, starting with Main Range release #208 Waters of Amsterdam by Jonathan Morris. In this release, we discuss the time period where this episode fits, regarding the Classic Doctor Who universe with the Big Finish audios. Then discuss how Tegan's character is drawn out more than most of the previous audios. Next, we look at the Fourth Doctor Adventures #5.01 Waves of Destruction by Justin Richards. In this adventure, Big Finish reunites Tom Baker and Lalla Ward in the TARDIS, something we have only had in three of Big Finishes Novel Adaptations. Then we look at the Early Adventures, #2.04 The Isos Network by Nicholas Briggs, a great episode that slips perfectly between Invasion and The Krotons. We then review the non-Doctor Who releases. First the ITV audio adaptations of The Prisoner written and directed by Nicholas Briggs, featuring Mark Elstob as Number Six. Nicholas Briggs wrote three adaptions of the classic series, with one amazing original story, Your Beautiful Village. Finally, we finish the podcast with a review of The Avengers - Lost Episodes Volume 5, featuring Anthony Howell (Dr Keel), Julian Wadham (John Steed). Because of storage space, part 2 of the 2015 Review podcast will not be released until February, as well as our Audio Only podcasts, where we review Spearhead From Space and The Web Planet, so please stay tuned for those.

The best plans are foolproof from all angles – Kiyan, 2014 This week Kiyan and Dylan watched The Krotons, not to be confused with the salad topping, croutons. They believe this to pretty middle of the road quality wise. Could this be a sign of things to come? The Krotons was written by Robert HolmesContinue reading →
In this week’s trippy episode, we say hello to Robert Holmes and goodbye to the BBC foam machine, as we discuss two stories from Patrick Troughton’s final season: The Krotons and The Seeds of Death. Smell that hydrogen telluride. Very bracing.
Last year Toby Hadoke set off on a mission to get an anecdote from someone connected with every TV Doctor Who story ever recorded. Today his target is a very familiar face...
Second Doctor, Jamie, and ZoeWhat's that you say? You wish we'd talked more about Enemy Of The World a few months back? Well you're in luck. Plus bonus ponderings on pickled eggs and find out how to play the Gond Game.When the TARDIS arrives on the planet of the gonds, The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe discover a world ruled and enslaved by the Krotons. The brightest Gonds are always chosen to serve as companions of the Krotons and are never seen again. The Doctor and his friends decide to put a stop to their rule - but in doing so, inadvertently unleash the true power of the Krotons instead..Written By: Robert HolmesDirected By: David Maloney
Only a mere month after the celebrations of Gallifrey One 2014, the 26th iteration of the best convention in the world…sold out in 75 minutes this Friday. The Three Who Rule, poised over their keyboards intently, managed to secure their registration and will be in Los Angles in February 2015, and hope to see many of you there! Gallifrey aside, there was news this week of bespoke music collections, a trailer for upcoming BBC America series Real History of Science Fiction, and a magnificent interview by one Mr Toby Hadoke of one Russell T. Davies in one Who’s Round podcast! And as if that’s not enough, we have a classic commentary of the Krotons, featuring robots, Philip Madoc, and quite psychedelic visuals in black and white! Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com
It's audio commentary time yet again and this week it's part 2 of our commentary for The Krotons, the fondly remembered fan favourite (I mean the story, not part 1 of this commentary. That was last week by the way.) that nobody really remembers very fondly. So this week they continue with episodes 3 and 4 and struggle manfully with walking cheese graters with Brummie accents and a man dressed as a tortoise. No that wasn't one of Tony's "facts", that it is what they are watching. So tune in to listen to 3 grown men sitting in silence for long periods of time and only coming alive when something exciting happens or when they get a sniff of beer. And there's no news this week as they couldn't be bothered. No not really, not a lot happened to be honest.
It's that time of the month when the Who's He? Podcast look to providing you all with an audio commentary and for your delectation, they have selected The Krotons! So thrill as Phil, Paul and a returning Tony sit down and suffer episodes 1 and 2 of this fondly remembered fan favourite (was the sarcasm filter working there?). During this episode they ponder the existence of Brummie sounding South Africans, glam rock gods and whether or not you can still buy Cadbury's Smash. And in the news this week, Doctor Who scoops a few awards, Phil gets disappointed at The Web of Fear DVD, an update on Christmas Log the lonely K9 knockoff and in Omega's Tat Corner the new 12th Doctor action figure is discussed and compared to an obscure 1970's pop star and a night light that is billed as some kind of personal attack button.
The Pex Lives team returns! This month's discussion is all about the 1968 Patrick Troughton serial, The Krotons and takes in situationism, Dark Shadows, the role of education in perpetrating the ideas of the state, and lots of other fun stuff. Next month, if the crick don't rise, Colony In Space!

Episode 2 of the fabulous Pex Lives podcast is live and waiting for you to hear it. The guys had a great, freewheeling conversation about The Space Museum that touches on all sorts of issues. Namechecks to Tolstoy, H.G. Wells, Bob Dylan, The Beatles and The Who, and lots of meaty discussion of colonialism and revolution. So, if you haven't ever seen The Space Museum, don't get left behind. Next month: The Krotons!
Another episode hits the feed, this time we have a little fun with our review of the Second Doctor story, The Krotons. One of the final outings for Jamie, Zoe, and The Doctor, the Krotons was released in North America on DVD for the first time just this week. Then a review of the Big Finish audio play The Land of the Dead, featuring the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa. Also, San Diego Comic-Con was in...Read more The post Episode 81 – The Croutons appeared first on Traveling the Vortex.
On an unnamed planet, a race called the Gonds are subject to the mysterious Krotons, unseen beings to whom they provide their brightest intelligences as “companions”. Thara, son of the Gond leader Selris, is the only one of his race to object to this practice. , and arrive in time to witness the death of one of the chosen companions and intervene to save Vana, the other selected for this fate, using her survival as a means to convince Selris and the Gonds of the malign influence of the Krotons on their society. The Doctor calls it "self-perpetuating slavery” by which the brightest in Gond society have been removed. Similarly, there are large gaps in their knowledge, especially relating to chemistry. This situation has been in existence for many years since the Krotons arrived in their spaceship, polluting the lands beyond the Gond city and killing much of the Gond population. Thara uses the disquiet of the situation to lead a rebellion and attack the Teaching Machines of the Krotons in the Hall of Learning. This prompts a crystalline probe to appear and defend the Machines, and warn the Gonds to cease their rebellion. Zoe now tries the Teaching Machines and is selected to be a “companion” of the Krotons. The Doctor elects the same fate and both are summoned into the Dynotrope where they are subjected to a mental attack. Zoe deduces that the Krotons have found a way to transfer mental power into pure energy, while the Doctor busies himself with taking chemical samples of the Kroton environment. Circumstances now trigger the creation of two Krotons from chemical vats within the Dynatrope (the Kroton spaceship). The newly created Krotons capture Jamie but are really seeking the Doctor and Zoe, the “High Brains”, who have now left the Dynatrope. It takes Jamie quite some time before he is able to make an effective escape. Eelek and Axus, two councillors previously loyal to the Krotons, who begin to rally for all-out war with the Krotons, have now seized the initiative in Gond society. The more level headed Selris is deposed, but warns that an all-out attack will not benefit his people. Instead he has decided to attack the machine from underneath by destabilising its very foundation in the underhall. Eelek has Selris arrested and also reasserts control by negotiating with the Krotons that they will leave the planet if provided with the two “High Brains” who can help them power and pilot their ship. Zoe and the Doctor are forced into the Dynatrope and Selris dies providing them with a phial of acid which the Doctor adds to the Kroton vats. Outside, Jamie and the scientist Beta launch an attack on the structure of the ship using . This two pronged assault destroys the tellurium-based Krotons and their craft. The Dynatrope dissolves away and the Gonds are free at last - choosing Thara rather than the cowardly and ambitious Eelek to lead them. Continuity The Krotons also feature in the novel by . They also appeared in the with the .

Holmes had originally submitted The Trap to the BBC as a stand-alone science-fiction serial in 1965. Head of Serials rejected the serial as being not the kind of thing the BBC was interested in making at the time, but suggested the writer pitch it to the Doctor Who production office as an idea for that series. Holmes did so, and although story editor was interested, the scripts went no further at the time. Some years later, assistant script editor found the story in the production office files when clearing a backlog, and decided to develop it with Holmes as a personal project, in case other scripts fell through. When the latter event occurred, Dick Sharples script Prison in Space a comedic dystopian tale where females rule with dollybird guards proved unworkable, Dicks was able to present the serial to his superiors as a ready production.

The late, great Philip Madoc is the core of our Kasterborous podKast (with a "K") this week, as we discuss his appearances in The Krotons, The War Games, The Brain of Morbius and The Power of Kroll. Probably best known as the War Lord or Mehendri Solon, Madoc also appeared in the second Dalek movie, Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 AD in 1966. Sadly Madoc, born in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales passed away at the weekend following a short illness, aged 77. Born in 1934 he had a career stretching over 50 years and was one of the most compelling British character actors of his generation. There is barely a famous TV show from the 1960s and 1970s that he didn't appear in. You can find out more thanks to BBC News; our typed obituary will appear later on but in the meantime you can find more information about his long and varied career below.
