The Dæmons is the final story in the eighth season of Doctor Who, with Jon Pertwee playing the eponymous hero (see episode 48 covering The House That Dripped Blood for some fantastic Pertrivia). It aired over five weeks on BBC1 from 22 May to 19 June 1971. In The Dæmons, the Master, played by Roger Delgado, awakens the ancient horned alien Azal, hoping to gain his immense power. Delgado, a close friend of Pertwee, worked extensively on stage, TV, film, and radio. His work included the BBC's Quatermass II, Battle of the River Plate, Hammer's The Mummy's Shroud, and English dubbing for The Horror Express (see episode 7). He often played villains in British action-adventure series like Danger Man, The Saint, The Champions, and Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased). Tragically, Delgado died in a car accident in Turkey while filming a Franco-German mini-series. He was only 55 years old. The Dæmons began as an audition scene for Jo Grant, played by Katy Manning, and was later reworked into episode four. Manning attended Miss Dixon and Miss Wolfe's School for Girls, becoming close friends with Liza Minnelli. She socialized with stars like James Mason, Dirk Bogarde, and had tea with Noël Coward at The Savoy. As a teenager, she modeled for Biba and dated Jimi Hendrix, Richard Eyre, David Troughton, Derek Fowlds, Stewart Bevan, and Peter Bardens, Rod Stewart's keyboard player. Manning had a close bond with Pertwee, who would pick her up daily for filming, either in his car or on his motorbike, where she would ride pillion. They even raced with Dick Emery and Sir Ralph Richardson to see who could reach the BBC studios first. After three years on Doctor Who, Manning left to pursue other acting work. Pertwee was saddened by her departure, citing her exit and Delgado's death as two major reasons for leaving the show a year later. Producer Barry Letts wanted to write a story about black magic to tap into the zeitgeist of the Age of Aquarius and frighten young viewers. However, script editor Terrance Dicks had concerns it might be seen as Satanist. The story was revised to focus on a scientific threat with occult themes. Originally, the Master was to worship the demon in a church, but to avoid offending religious viewers, the scenes were moved to a crypt, later referred to as a cavern (though the set remained crypt-like). Letts co-wrote the script with playwright Robert Sloman under the pseudonym Guy Leopold, as the BBC frowned on production staff writing for their own shows. Much of the serial was filmed on location in Aldbourne, Wiltshire, with two weeks allocated for filming—more than double the usual time—leading to more outdoor scenes. The cast included comedy actress Damaris Hayman, who starred as Miss Hawthorne. Hayman had an interest in the supernatural and served as an unofficial adviser on the production. Her friend, a practicing witch, praised the accuracy of the scripts. Future Sooty puppeteer Matthew Corbett had a brief role in the final episode as a hooded coven member who objects to Jo's sacrifice. Corbett, whose great-uncle was Harry Ramsden of fish-and-chip fame, had to change his name when joining the actors' union Equity, as there was already a Peter Corbett registered.Studio taping for The Dæmons was completed on 16 May 1971, just weeks before the final episode aired. This episode included footage of a model church being blown up, which was so realistic that it prompted viewer complaints. If the clip of the Brigadier's helicopter crashing into the heat shield looks familiar, it was borrowed from the James Bond film From Russia with Love.

"Frustrated farmer", environmental scientist and Amenity Forum executive officer Peter Corbett is working on the frontline of the crop protection industry "hoping making sure politicians legislate in a way that you still have freedom to operate".From glyphosate to neonicotinoids, battles are being waged worldwide in courtrooms, governments and in the court of public opinion, and Corbett says decisions are made partly through ignorance: "It's quite interesting how little people understand about crop protection products.He adds moves to ban glyphosate are based on arguments that "would be disputed by science...you need to look at everything in the right context, and also in the right dose".He is involved in Defra's draft revised UK National Action Plan for the Sustainable Use of Pesticides, which he hopes will be published soon.Corbett argues that the debates on sustainability regarding use of weed control products and techniques are often too simplistic, sometimes misinformation ("just because you read it on the internet, doesn't mean it's true") and based on a "misunderstanding of risk benefit"."If you want vegetation managed there's lots of different ways that we can manage that vegetation, but there are more sustainable ways to do it which isn't necessarily put across in a way that everybody understands."Outlining some of the different approaches available to contractors he says: "There are different techniques that we can use and obviously potentially we can be using the chemical techniques for managing vegetation and very often they are actually the most sustainable form when you take into account cost, environment and impact on society."The last two years have shown how important open spaces are, but it's also shown that we have to manage those and we have to invest in them."

Blanche Colson got in touch with Debbie after listening to a previous episode with entrepreneur Peter Corbett on the topic of mortality, death and becoming a hospice volunteer. Blanche knew Peter through the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care and wanted to tell her own story about her evolving relationship with death. Blanche retired after a career in school administration in Eugene, OR. She’s an empty nester, having raised two children as a single parent, and was wondering what’s next when a near fatal car accident jolted her into realizing it was time to make a change.  She wanted to get more comfortable with the mystery of death and our reluctance to talk about it so she moved from Eugene to New York to study at the Zen Center, where she met Peter. This is where Debbie challenges her on being ordinary, as not everyone would get on a plane and move to New York to study death and dying.Through the Zen Center’s program, she learnt the basics of contemplative care: sitting at the bedside of the sick and dying, truly listening and resisting the impulse to save or rescue them. As part of the training, she volunteered at a geriatric center where the residents were wheelchair or bed bound and utterly dependent on the staff for their needs. You’ll hear her mention Chodo. Robert Chodo Campbell is a well-known Sensei or Buddhist teacher and the co-founder of NY’s Zen Center. He was Blanche’s mentor. There’s one more thing Blanche mentions: an intentional community.  It means a planned residential community designed around social cohesion and teamwork. Not a hippie commune exactly but definitely a place for the alternative-minded. She lived in an intentional community near Eugene for 20 years. And she chose Ganas, an intentional community on Staten Island, as her home in New York. Again not something that an ordinary person might do.Finally, Blanche’s time at the Zen Center was only the first step in her journey to change the perception of death as dark, fearful and something we can’t talk about. Since this conversation she has officially started her training to become a death celebrant or death doula. Blanche pitched herself as an ordinary person, someone whose perspective is too often lacking on podcasts. But she’s really not ordinary at all. She’s brave and adventurous, just the kind of guest who should be on a Gap Year podcast. What they talked aboutWhy death as a topic is tabooWhat it means to be an ordinary personHow her experience as an African American woman has affected her spiritualityThe unfairness of life for an African American womanHow old people are tucked awayLearning to really listen instead of wanting to fix other people’s sufferingLearning how not to judgeThe advantage of spontaneity in making life changing decisionsHer advice for ordinary people seeking to make a change: take the next step and forget about the big picture Mentioned in the episode or useful linksLet's Talk About Death (Over Dinner)New York Zen Center for Contemplative CareSensei Robert Chodo Campbell (Blanche’s mentor)Ganas community on Staten IslandDefinition of an intentional communityThe New York Center for Nonviolent CommunicationDeath midwife or doulaBlanche interviewed on the Far Out podcast on "reclaiming death and grief  Support this podcast:Leave a review on iTunes: it means so much!Subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher or Spotify Credits:Host: Debbie WeilProducer: Julie-Roxane KrikorianPodcast websiteMusic by Manuel Senfft Connect with us:Email: thegapyearpodcast@gmail.comTwitter: @debbieweilInsta: @debbieweilDebbie and Sam's blog: Gap Year After Sixty

Big Al at the Winchester says wolves can't look backwards. Discover other strange medieval folk beliefs and attitudes towards wolves based on folk tales, fables and medieval bestiaries.  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/historyandfolklorepodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/historyandfolklore/ Transcript: The Wolf and the Lamb   A wolf saw a lamb straying from the flock. Unusually, he felt somewhat guilty about taking the life of such a helpless creature without some plausible excuse. So he cast about in his mind for some believable grievance.At last the wolf said to the lamb, ‘I remember you. Last year you grossly insulted me.' That's impossible, cried that lamb, I hadn't even been born then! Well then, said the wolf, you feed on the grass on my land. That's not right, said the lamb, I have never tasted grass. You drink from my spring then, continued the wolf. Not me, squeaked the lamb,I have never drunk anything but milk, Well, anyhow, replied the wolf, I am not going without my dinner. And he sprang upon the lamb and devoured it without more ado. Hello, welcome to History and Folklore, where we look at different folk beliefs through history and how these beliefs have shaped people's perceptions of nature through time. Today we're looking at wolves and because that's a huge subject in folklore we're going to focus it down just to early medieval England. I might widen this out to talk about perceptions of wolves in different countries in a future episode, if people are interested.  Wolves were once actually pretty common in medieval England, and would have been a familiar sight to many people travelling through the countryside of living in villages or town outskirts. Their prevalence is reflected in the use of wolf hides as tribute among kings and nobility, with King Edwin, in 953 AD, demanding a tribute of three hundred wolf skins per year. Wolf hides have also been discovered at burial sites, suggesting they were associated with power, status and wealth.Possibly because of their prevalence, wolves were seen as a pest, and a threat to livestock. As early as 300BC Celtic tribes in England bred wolfhounds to hunt wolves. A thousand years later the monk and scholar Bede claimed that the entire month of January was originally known as ‘wolf month' as it was devoted to the slaughter of wolves. This attitude of seeing wolves as a harmful menace to be exterminated continued into the medieval period, culminating in King Edward I hiring a man called Peter Corbet in 1281 to ‘take and destroy all the wolves he could find.' Peter Corbett was apparently successful, and along with the destruction of a lot of their natural habitat for agriculture, wolves became increasingly rare. The last mention of them in England was in 1305 when it was recorded that they killed eight cattle in the forest of Lancaster. redo Authors of encyclopedias in the Medieval era such as Isidore of Seville, in the 7th century, and Bartholomaeus Anglicus, in the 13th century, argued that the Latin word for wolf, lupus, was most likely to have come from the Greek ‘lukos' as it, apparently, ‘indicates the morals of wolves', which ‘rapaciously kill whatever they encounter and always desire blood' and slaughter whatever they found in a ‘frenzy of violence.' As a result of this Isidore placed wolves within the category of ‘beasts.' According to him all animals in this group could be identified as they shared  particular characteristics. Most notable of these was that they would attack forcefully with their mouth or claws, but also that they had wildness and freedom, and an ability to ‘wander wherever their spirit leads.' As with a lot of ideas in Medieval England, these seem to go back to Ancient Greek authors with Pliny referring to wolves as ‘cruel and fierce' and Aristotle claiming they were ‘wild and untameable.' The apparent violent and bloodthirsty nature of wolves is one that was obviously feared by the majority of people and was strongly imprinted upon their conscious.The majority of images of wolves from this era depicts them sneaking up to the sheepfolds to destroy livestock. This experience of wolves would have been the one that affected the majority of people in rural England, and wolves would have been seen at best as a nuisance and at worse as direct competition for food, particularly true during times of dearth. There was also a common fear in medieval society of man-eating wolves, which was expressed through popular folklore. There was a belief that when a wolf was attacked by a group of people, he would remember who threw the first stone and kill that person if he was harmed.  Strangely, it was believed that if a wolf saw a man before he was spotted, the man would lose his voice, causing him to be unable to cry out for help. If this happened it was said that the solution would be for the man to strip and hit rocks together to prevent the wolf from attacking, which I guess must have made some sort of sense at the time. If a person was in a group and suddenly lost his voice, an onlooker was to say ‘lupus in fabula',translated as ‘wolf in the story' in order to restore the person's voice. If, however, a man saw a wolf first then it was believed that the wolf would lose his fury and would not attack.  However, there were also some positive attributes associated with the wolf in folklore. For example it was said to be good luck for travellers to approach a wolf, but only if they were approaching from the right, the wolf was barring their way and the wolf was eating large mouthfuls of dirt, which seems so specific as to be nearly useless, as I doubt it would have been a situation that occurred all that often. Pliny is also quoted by medieval writers such as Bartholomaeus, as saying that wolves had a love potion in a tuft in the tip of their tails, which had to be taken while the wolf was alive, and which the wolf would bite off if there was a danger of it being trapped by humans.  Wolves also seem to be very connected to sheep in the mind of the average medieval person. They were seen as being so detrimental to sheep that the wool of a sheep attacked by a wolf would become lousy and infected, while the sheep gut strings on a harp would become corrupt if a string made of wolf gut was added. Wolves' position within popular stories are also generally quite negative. Aesop's fables, popular during this period, include such tales as the wolf and the lamb, read at the beginning of this episode, in which the wolf tries to use a false excuse to kill the lamb before just eating him anyway and the ‘wolf and the shepherd', where the wolf gains the trust of a shepherd before attacking his sheep. Both of these reflect the widespread mistrust and fear of wolves as dishonest and violent.  On the other hand, wolves could also play a humorous role, for example in the stories of ‘Reynard the Fox' the wolf, Isegrim, was known for being strong, but greedy and stupid. Ultimately Reynard manages to outwit and kill Isegrim in a fight by distracting him by talking just as Isegrim is about to make the winning blow. In these tales wolves were chosen for the moral they could teach the audience. However, it is also possible that their comic portrayal may have been an attempt to diminish fear through humour, or may have dated from a period when wolves were perceived as less of a threat due to their scarcity. This negative attitude towards wolves also reflected in the religious sphere of medieval life. It was generally believed during this time that animals were granted their characteristics by God as an example of proper conduct for humans to imitate, or to reinforce the teachings of the Bible. In these teachings, used by priests in sermons to convey a moral message to their congregation, wolves were often portrayed as the devil prowling outside the sheep-fold of the faithful.  Bestiary and encyclopedic literature was particularly good at reinforcing these connections. The Aberdeen bestiary claims that wolves have eyes that shine in the dark because, like the works of the devil, they appear beautiful to foolish people, leading them astray. Bartholomaeus and Isidore stated that another possible origin for ‘lupus' was from the Greek ‘leo-pos', meaning ‘lion-footed' as it was widely believed that the wolf's strength, like the lion, was in its feet and the front of its body, the head, neck shoulders and chest. This was interpreted as being a reminder from God that the devil was first an angel in heaven and then turned apostate. These interpretations are obviously intended to prompt the reader to look at nature, remember that it was made by god, and interpret the message that God was communicating.  Wolves also appear to have a strong connection with thunder. It was believed in the early medieval period that there were only twelve days in the year that wolves would mate and that they would then give birth in May, when it thundered, as this was reminiscent of the devil falling from heaven. It was also widely believed that the wolf was unable to turn its neck to look behind it, apart from in May, as ‘like the devil, it can never turn towards the correction of penitence.' The story that seems to encapsulate the medieval attitude to wolves is one told about St Francis of Assisi. In this story a town being terrorized by a wolf, to the extent that the inhabitants were afraid to leave the city walls. This associates the wolf firmly as part of the wilderness, being outside of society and therefore an entity to be feared and avoided. The fact that St Francis manages to tame the wolf, and construct an agreement between the wolf and townspeople seems to reflect the power of God over evil, while the phrase he speaks to the wolf ‘all men cry out against thee, the dogs pursue thee and all the inhabitants of this city are thy enemies', reflects the expected relationship between wolves and humans during this period.

Debbie talks with Peter Corbett, a retired CEO who moved to Brooklyn from DC, sold his tech company to J. Walter Thompson (part of WPP), and completely changed his life. Peter was a young guy in his 20s when Debbie knew him back in DC's tech heyday. He was well known in DC’s tech community as the founder and CEO of iStrategy Labs as well as the convener of popular tech meetups. iStrategy Labs was one of the first digital marketing agencies, known for its creativity in bridging online and offline. The company won lots of awards and grew to have dozens of Fortune 500 clients. But after almost ten years of running the company Peter moved to New York to open an office there. Shortly after, he realized he’d had enough of the CEO life - it wasn’t who he really was. He sold the company for tens of millions of dollars and began living a completely different life. Now, at age 39, he is a Zen hospice practitioner volunteering at a hospital in Brooklyn as well as continuing his training. He also mentors entrepreneurs. Together they talk about how he found this new path, how meditation plays a crucial role for him and why he thinks it’s so important to contemplate mortality. This is not a Coronavirus episode, per se. But the virus - and the pain it’s causing for so many people - is hovering in the background.
