Decorative Vegetable

I’m about to crack this conspiracy wide open.

A lovely stroll with the Village People. I look out across the village. We are happy here. We listen to Go West every day, on repeat. In the Navy is our national anthem. And when we’re feeling really risque, we’ll listen to YMCA. We’ve all heard it so many times we can recite the dance from memory. It is a good life. It’s Countrycide, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on November 19, 2006.

This week on Inevitable Dylan is replaced by a copy.

Have I already made the replaced by a copy joke? I feel like I have because we’ve put out over 375 episodes of stuff and surely in one of those descriptions I’ve made that joke. Seriously how do I keep coming up with stuff to write? And how did I get to 375-something episodes before I got all meta talking about how many episodes it’s been? It’s The Schizoid Man, written by Terence Feely and aired on October 27, 1987.

The year is 2099. Big Finish prowls the street looking for non-Doctor Who fans.

I had never even made any association between this and the really annoyingly catchy Disney song until right this second. And now that I’ve made that association I’m not going to be able to unmake it. Plus now you’ve probably got that song stuck in your head, and you know what? You’re welcome. It’s Small Worlds, written by PJ Hammond and aired on November 12, 2006.

As promised here’s a Christian take on Torchwood. Spoiler: they didn’t like it. (Also spoiler warning for season 4.)

I’m running for president of this podcast.

Look I’m not saying democracy is a sham. Paddy Fitz, whoever that is, is saying that, and we just happened to watch his magnum opus trying to prove the point. And along the way maybe we agree and maybe we don’t, I guess time will tell. Frankly any voting system entirely based around buttons the townspeople wear with absolutely no election security is bound to fail. It’s Free for All, written by “Paddy” “Fitz” and aired on October 20, 1987.

1:10: Wow, I actually found it. Turns out I conflated Mr. Bean waiting for his role with him waiting for the role of the woman he meets over the course of the movie. The memory cheats!

I wish I was a UNIT soldier who could indiscriminately fail at his job like that.

Did you know I was partially cyberized once? It’s true, if you go back to some of our old episodes I’m sure you could hear when my voice would just go all cyber for some reason. Yeah that’s when I was cyberized. Luckily I was able to uncyberize myself but unfortunately I can’t really remember how I did that so that knowledge has been lost to the ages. Sorry. It’s Cyberwoman, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on November 5, 2006.

It’s as easy as Do Re Mi.

The first real episode of the Prisoner where we get into the nitty gritty and realize that not all is as it seems in the village. This will probably be Number 6’s life for the next 14 weeks so it’s best we treat him nicely for a while before we really beat him up. You know what I’m saying? On a side note, this podcast episode was a dream constructed to extract information from Keith. Did we get what we want? Listen and find out. It’s A. B. and C., written by Anthony Skene and aired on October 13, 1987.

Not to be confused with Ghost IN The Machine.

If I had a ghost machine, I’d open that puppy up when I got into my apartment to find out if someone died in here. I might not want to actually know that, actually. Can you imagine if Gwen took the machine home, fired it up, and then boom just a straight montage of 6 murders happening in her home? The trauma that would induce. It’s Ghost Machine, written by Helen Raynor and aired on October 29, 2006.

I’m pretty sure Kiyan has actually heard the chimes of Big Ben…

Is Big Ben the only famous clock tower in the world? This is a strange thought I just had, while sitting here, trying to come up with a description for this episode. Googling ‘famous clock towers’ gave me a lots of clock towers after “Big Ben” as the first result, and I recognize none of them. So I guess I just proved that Big Ben is the only famous clock tower. It’s The Chimes of Big Ben, written by  Vincent Tilsley and aired on October 6, 1987.

And the secret 0th sin: existence.

The name of this story evokes strong memories of… something. Another story or tv show or movie and I just can’t really place what it is. I seriously feel like I watched something called Day One once upon a time and I genuinely cannot remember what the heck it was. That’s so weird. It’s Day One, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on October 22, 2006.

Who is number 1? We are number 1! *music cue*

Can you believe that we’ve made it to season 4? Speaking of which, like I said last week, Kiyan and I have been trapped in a personal podcasting hellscape. It just turns out that it’s a village populated by dozens of hundreds of more successful podcasts than ours. We don’t have names here, but I’ve been looking to see if I can find Sapphire and Steel anywhere in case they made it to this trap instead of the other one. It’s Arrival, written by George Markstein and David Tomblin and aired on September 29, 1987.
