In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast.... Welcome the Third Doctor - Spearhead From Space Phil & Scott continue their series of looking at how good how each Doctor's inaugral stories were at introducing them to the waiting world, with Spearhead From Space, starring Jon Pertwee. Ushering in a new era of colour, action and flamboyant clothes, did this story from Robert Holmes succeed in introducing a new and different kind of Doctor. Along the way, Phil tells a horror story of childhood underpants.

Saturday 3 January 1970. Spearhead from Space. In the first week of the 1970s, Doctor Who is back, with a new Doctor, a new alien threat, new companions and a new earthbound premise. So what makes it the same show?

We watch the concluding episodes of classic serial “Spearhead From Space” where the third Doctor and soon-to-be-companion-Liz-Shaw (no relation to Tim Shaw) battle space tentacles (?) attempting to take over the earth. Whilst said Plan 9 From Outer Space is occurring, the Doctor continues wearing another man's dirty clothes, Liz continues proving she's the Doctor's intellectual equal (oh the horror), and the Brigadier is just damn cool.

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 394.Welcome to episode 394, Who fans! We chat about the two new trailers for Doctor Who Season One (yep, still weird for now, lol) then we're onto our re-visit of Spearhead from Space (Garry reviewed this solo back in April of 2014 so now we're reviewing it together).

We end up watching the first two episodes of the classic serial “Spearhead From Space” where John ends up eating crow because Steve and I committed to watching “The Three Doctors” but I misremembered and thought that we were watching this story and did all the research for this story and then whilst live in the recording of the podcast Steve rightfully says that I was wrong but unofficial third co-host Denise decides to cast the tie breaking vote that we continue to watch and discuss “Spearhead” anyway. (Inhales deeply after writing that run on sentence.) So meanwhile back in “Doctor Who” there's a new Doctor, a totally-not-the-new-companion Liz, and Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart was promoted (offscreen) to Brigadier AND series regular. Apologies to the cohost and listener(s?) expecting to hear a thoughtful (?) discussion about another story. Keep in mind that I am very old.

We've been on a bit more than a summer break, but we're back and its about (World Enough and) Time... This month we go back to our roots and the very first story we covered on the podcast way back in 2017: Spearhead from Space. We archived that episode as the sound quality was terrible, but also because we didn't really do this seminal Pertwee classic justice. This time around its a proper deep dive as we talk about stuff we've not thought about before, despite knowing this story inside out: - The geography of the story: where is Oxley Woods in relation to Ashbridge Cottage Hospital and indeed AutoPlastics? And are any of those near Epping? - How automated is the Plastics Factory and why is Ransome's doll so special? - Is the 'Doctors Only' sign sexist? - Is this the worst ever exhibition at Madame Tussauds? - Does the Doctor drop calling Liz Doctor as a power move? - And our own twist on 'Gay or European?': 'Auton or sweaty?' All this, Louise Jameson, an argument about better stories than Spearhead, and a Companions quiz. What else could you possibly need? We love you (and we're very glad to be back)! Andy & Alex xxx Next Time: Death to the Daleks

This episode we watch in horror as dozens of plastic footballs rain down upon the Essex countryside. Also the Doctor strips! Quote of the week: “The Brigadier would be bisexual if he knew that was a thing.” Rosie recommends the film Rituals (1977). Aym is snoozy. It's an instant classic.

John takes Tom and Paul to Earth, and they stay there. Join us as we walk you down a leafy, Auton street in Ealing, and show you just what you can get if you have enough plastic. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rebooting Doctor Who is a feature of the show, not a bug, but it was still uncertain territory when Jon Pertwee took over in 1970. Sure, Patrick Troughton had taken over from William Hartnell a few years before, but it was very much the same show, following the adventures of a mysterious traveler and his human companions throughout all of time and space. Spearhead From Space boldly tosses out that formula, centers the show on contemporary Earth, and recasts the Doctor as a flamboyant action hero. OK, yes, those choices were made more out of budget necessity than bold storytelling, but the welcome return of the Brigadier reminds us this is still the same show, and it doesn't hurt that store-window mannequins make for a hella creepy monster. Doctor Who is renewed again, for the first time. Please leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

An absolute banger involving our newly dandified hero stealing a banger. Plastic killers, a shiny receptionist and a tea-dribbling basket case thrown in.

After three episodes on the Frederick Muller books from the 1960s, it's now 1974, and the Target range -- which began with 1973 reprints of the Muller books -- begins properly with a twin January 1974 release of novelizations of "Spearhead From Space" and "Doctor Who and the Silurians". It's a very warm welcome to the Target line for Terrance Dicks -- they'll end up keeping him. Join us for a deep dive in Terrance's magnum opus, a 150-page book, one of his very best, if not THE best, books he wrote. What value does Terrance add to the TV scripts and direction? How does he describe the TARDIS materialization sound and the Third Doctor's face, in this, his first Doctor Who book? Join us, and find out ...

Way back in the mists of time, the Power of Three looked at the debut stories of three Doctors. This week, Kenny and Dave retain their places in the starting line up as they look at Spearhead From Space, The Twin Dilemma and Deep Breath. But there's a new boy in town, as they're joined by the Doctor. That's Dr John... But it's not Smith. Say hello to John Bollan!

Joe & Greg; strangled by tentacles! What is the right amount of dramatic shorthand? Can you turn Ghandi into a killer? Can you rely on actors to stay still? Snapping assholes??? The Doctor emerges…

Joe & Greg; avoiding episode three altogether! More fabulous Meg and Sam scenes! Murder and mayhem, absurd monsters that are chilling, a Doctor on the hunt, dry wit, marvellous direction and an unforgettable cliffhanger. Is this the scariest Doctor Who story?

Joe & Greg; lost inside episode two episode one! Is this story really about Meg Seeley and her struggle with gooey faced facsimile? Is the Brigadier the lead now? We marvel at how charming Jon Pertwee is when he finally gets some extended dialogue. Creepy dolls abound.

Joe & Greg; comically playing with wheelchairs! It's all change for Doctor Who, and 9 year old Greg is very happy with the new format. A mute Doctor, chilling villain, flashy direction and some real scares. ‘Unhand me madam!'

A series of strange meteor showers have landed on Earth over the last few months, which has caught the attention of UNIT. The Brigadier is investigating the strange phenomenon when he receives a report of the arrival of a battered old police box. This week Paddy and Tricia kick off a new era in Doctor Who and they follow the new incarnation of The Doctor and his new allies as they attempt to fight off the Spearhead from Space.

The Brothers are back, and they're continuing their quest of watching every first and final episode of each companion! This episode is about Liz Shaw, and they watched Spearhead From Space, and Inferno. Enjoy!

New Titles! New Face! We start the 1970's with a new Doctor and Sarah has no idea what to expect. We're joined by special guest Mike (@mrmikegriffiths) to talk about this new era of the show. We talk Autons, The Brigadier, Liz and of course the most important characters of this story; Sam and Meg Seeley!  If you want to watch along with us we watched the official DVD release of this story. It's also available on streaming platforms.

30st August 2014   nting down to Whooverville 6! 30 August 2014 at QUAD, Derby. 0 4 3 Days 2 3 Hours 3 5 Minutes   Guests More guests will be added as they are confirmed. Sponsored guests appear courtesy of Tenth Planet Events, who will charge for their autographs. Guests Dominic Glynn Dominic is a prolific composer of film and television music, best known to us for the incidental music for The Trial of a Time Lord segments The Mysterious Planet and The Ultimate Foe, Dragonfire, The Happiness Patrol ans Survival. As well as for the Season 23 (Trial of a Time Lord) arrangement of the Doctor Who theme tune. His music has also featured in episodes of The Simpsons, Red Dwarf and Eerie Indiana, and the feature films Holy Man and Kevin & Perry Go Large. Many thanks to Dominic for agreeing to come along. Derrick Sherwin Derrick Sherwin is the last surviving producer of 60s Doctor Who and one of only two surviving producers from the classic series as a whole. Derrick joined Doctor Who as script editor in which capacity he worked on five consecutive stories between The Web of Fear and The Mind Robber. He then wrote The Invasion, acted as de facto assistant producer on two further stories before resuming script editor duties on The Space Pirates, then succeeding Peter Bryant as producer for The War Games and Spearhead From Space. Derrick's influence on Doctor Who has been profound and persists until today – he cast Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor, invented UNIT and developed the Brigadier, invented the Time Lords and came up with the idea of exiling the Doctor to Earth. Peter Davison Peter Davison is best known for his roles as the fifth incarnation of the Doctor in Doctor Who and Tristan Farnon in James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small. Davison was born Peter Moffett in Streatham, London. The family then moved to Knaphill in Surrey at which time he became a member of an amateur theatre company called the Byfleet Players Davison studied at the Central School of Speech and Drama. His first job was as an actor and assistant stage manager at the Nottingham Playhouse. He chose the stage name Peter Davison to avoid confusion with the actor and director Peter Moffatt, with whom Davison later worked. His first television work was in a 1975 episode of the children's science fiction television programme The Tomorrow People In 1978, Davison's performance as the youthfully mischievous Tristan Farnon in All Creatures Great and Small made him a household name. Davison has said that he was mainly cast in the role because he looked as if he could be Robert Hardy's younger brother. Davison subsequently appeared alongside Dickinson as the Dish of the Day in the television version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1981), whose producers considered it humorous for an actor known for playing a veterinary surgeon to appear as a cow. In 1981, Davison signed a contract to play the Doctor for three years, succeeding Tom Baker (the Fourth Doctor) and, at age 29, was at the time the youngest actor to have played the lead role. Deborah Watling Deborah Watling, the daughter of actors Jack Watling and Patricia Hicks, began work as a child actress with a regular role as the niece of Peter Brady in The Invisible Man television series. She was later cast for the lead role in Alice, Dennis Potter's version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, for the BBC's The Wednesday Play. Watling played Victoria in Doctor Who from 1967 to 1968, though her only remaining complete serials are The Tomb of the Cybermen and the recently recovered The Enemy of the World. She also appeared in Dimensions in Time, Downtime and the audio drama Three's a Crow. In November 2013 she appeared in the one-off 50th anniversary comedy homage The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot. Terry Molloy Follow :   Site :  Terry Molloy has been a member of the cast of BBC Radio 4′s The Archers, playing Mike Tucker, since 1973 and has won awards for his work as an actor on radio. On television, Molloy is perhaps best known for hiplaying Davros, the creator of the Daleks, in the stories Resurrection of the Daleks, Revelation of the Daleks and Remembrance of the Daleks. He also appeared in the Doctor Who story Attack of the Cybermen as an undercover policeman named Russell. In recent years, Molloy has reprised the role of Davros in the Big Finish Productions audio dramas Davros, The Juggernauts, Terror Firma, Masters of War, The Davros Mission and the four-part miniseries I, Davros. He also played Davros in a 2005 stage production, The Trial of Davros. Michael Troughton Follow :   Site :  Michael Troughton is an English actor, writer and teacher. He is the son of actor Patrick Troughton and the younger brother of David Troughton. He has appeared in many film, television and theatre roles, most notably as Melish, in Minder and Sir Piers Fletcher-Dervish in The New Statesman from 1987 to 1992. His biography of his late father, Patrick Troughton, published by Hirst Publishing, was launched in November 2011. He has also completed a number of audio dramatisations for Big Finish. David Troughton David Troughton was born in Hampstead, London. He comes from a theatrical family: he is the son of actor Patrick Troughton, elder brother of Michael Troughton, and father of both Sam Troughton and Warwickshire cricketer Jim Troughton. His roles have included guest appearances in Doctor Who, first as an extra in The Enemy of the World (1967–1968), then as a soldier in The War Games (1969) and in a considerably larger role as King Peladon in The Curse of Peladon (1972). He appeared in the 2008 series of Doctor Who as Professor Hobbes, in the episode “Midnight”. He has also performed in a Big Finish Doctor Who audio production titled Cuddlesome where he plays the Tinghus. He also played the Black Guardian in two audios: The Destroyer of Delights and The Chaos Pool. He also returned as King Peladon in The Prisoner of Peladon audio. In 2011 he took on his father's role as the Second Doctor in two audio plays, also featuring Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor and in November 2013, Troughton appeared in the one-off 50th anniversary comedy homage The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot.
