Doctor Who: 42 To Doomsday

42 To Doomsday - Doctor Down Under ’83


Listen Later

Episode 104 - During April of 1983, Peter Davison was shipped from good ol' Blighty to the colonies for a breakneck promotional tour of our Great Southern Land to meet and greet the general public and Doctor Who fans within the confines of our largest department chain, Myer!

This 'blink and you miss it' visit lives on in the memories of only the select few who attended.  However, through the miracle of the internet, the mighty Australian Doctor Who zine, Zerinza, plus the recollections of our wonderful listeners, Mark and Rob decamp for 1983 and revisit Peter Davison's tour of our shores where he dazzled hundreds, nay, thousands of impressionable Australian youths.

Join us as we recount those wonderful times as well as an interview with local journalist, Chris Middendorp, who was there on the day Doctor Who came to Melbourne!

All this plus 'who was that terrible woman?' Mrs (or should that be Lieutenant!) Scott?, Rob continues his work as the 'unofficial' advocate of South Australian tourism and listen to the very end for a bizarre interview between the great man and an Australian journalist way back in the day!
