The Metebelis Two - a Doctor Who podcast

#192 - Catch the Christmas Omnibus


Listen Later

For a brief five or so years, the BBC broadcast an omnibus version of Doctor Who in the middle of the Christmas week holiday, usually on 27 December. We talk about how Barry Letts got this viewing tradition underway and ruminate on why by the time Graham Williams became producer that the omnibus specials had ceased to be. We then discuss the relevance of omnibus repeats for audiences in the 21st century in a television landscape dominated by streaming and in-home video. Opening music is from The Sea Devils, composed by Malcolm Clarke. Closing music is from Genesis of the Daleks, composed by Dudley Simpson and recreated by Benji Clifford. We recorded this episode on 23 December 2021.
