The Metebelis Two - a Doctor Who podcast

#258 - I Think I'll Stick to InterCity


Listen Later

We conclude our look at Ian Marter's time on Doctor Who with a chat about the role of Harry Sullivan in Terror of the Zygons and The Android Invasion. Harry starts out strongly in Zygons, but is treated poorly in his final appearance. Harry was the third wheel to the Sarah and the Doctor relationship, and he was bullied by both of them in the Season 12 finale, which helps explain, storywise, his departure from the team. We suggest some ideas to give Harry a dramatic series exit. We wrap up by lamenting Marter's untimely death on his forty-second birthday and the missed possibility of him writing for New Adventures novels. As a listener bonus, the final 10 minutes of the podcast is an August 1984 interview with Ian Marter on The Chuck Rabb Show that previously appeared on Doctor Who: Podshock, episode 306, courtesy of Louis Trapani and Chuck Rabb. Opening and closing music is from the Terror of the Zygons soundtrack composed by Geoffrey Burgon. We recorded this podcast on 18 November 2024.
