SPOILERS HEREIN

Be warned, this is a brand new commentary which takes in and describes the moving pictures featured in this recovered episode. So do not listen until you've watched the thing. Three people who saw these at the secret launch - host Toby and guests Oliver Crocker and Tim Burrows - recall the day that Peter Purves was lured to Leicester. And they try to choose the best thing about Devil's Planet. Which is harder than you might think. A Hell of a choice you might say.

SPOILERS!

Be warned, this is a viewing of the actual episode, so if you haven't yet seen it and don't want to be spoiled, wait until you have had a chance to enjoy all the treasures within The Nightmare Begins. Taking advantage of the immense privilege of being able to see this recovered gem early, your host, and two other lucky colleagues (Tim Burrows from The Missing Episodes podcast and writer Oliver Crocker) pick over their favorite things about this wondrous slice of Doctor Who that's been in a cupboard for a while. Surely the first in depth look at the episode as seen, if you need to digest this joyous discovery, this might just be the best way!

And so things hot up on the planet (not in terms of the weather, it's still grey and gloomy) that I can't be bothered to try to spell right now. Perhaps I need some sort of Adjudicator - although the one here might have another agenda... but we all know that even 50 year old spoilers can mess things up for some so just have a listen and see where we go.

It's wet and overcast and there are muddy boots aplenty : sounds like a typical English holiday. Your host had a disaster recording this one, so this is attempt number two. If at first you don't succeed then try, try and try again ... a saying which has a repetitiveness strangely apposite for this story. Still - your host and guest Simon Curtis are having much more fun here than fan opinion would suggest...

This is a repackaged repeat: an old episode of Happy Times and Places with a new intro and outro to reflect the discovery of this episode ...an episode which was lost when this edition was recorded. Hopefully this re-release will whet your appetite for the imminent release of Devils' Planet for the first time since 1965. 

Fare forward Ian x

And so we get a new influx of characters who each represent an aspect of bullying mining conglomerate IMC. There are plenty of actor facts to detract us from the story which is a shame as Colony in Space has plenty going for it. But we manage to cover it, with guest Simon Curtis being upfront about wanting your host to actually win this one. But as the Colonists demonstrate, all you need is an enemy within in order to muck it up for you without your opponent having to do much at all...

This commentary was recorded before the death of the actor Tony Caunter.

This is an old episode of Happy Times and Places with a new introduction (and maybe some post credits secret joy) which might, hopefully, help to pass the time between now and the newly recovered episodes appearing on iPlayer. I hope they whet the appetite. But to emphasise - the main body of this is a repeat, pure and simple, from the time that the late Ian K McLachlan chose his favorite things about The (then lost) Nightmare Begins. So there will be all sorts of speculation herein that, no doubt, turns out to be utter nonsense. So enjoy - an episode from the past resurfacing to help to celebrate the resurfacing of an episode from the past

An illustrious occasion - Jon Pertwee's first journey into outer space. So break out the ... beige. And the dungarees. And the moustaches. So many moustaches. TV producer Simon Curtis has chosen this story so what will a genuine industry professional be able to tell us about what makes this un-celebrated serial worth a look. It's always been considered to be closer to the Pertwee era slagheap than its mountaintop, but we're going to see if we can make the flowers grow on this apparently barren landsacpe.

Another ombnius in case you have a long journey or tedious household task or, I dunno, marathon that you're doing. If you dont like it though, just shout "this isn't real" and it'll turn into a cardboad cuthout. Illustrious fan of yore David J Howe takes us through the highpoints of this, a favourite story of his, as we get to grips with the facts (well, opinions) of fiction.

The bride in question is on holiday so there's something rather filmic about her in the episode that is named after her. There's cocoa, connivance and cunning aplenty as our heroes find themselves lost in history and desperate to find a way out. And there's time to consider a couple of guest stars, one of whom will return to the show whilst the other vanished rather, but whose travels took him far and wide and whose history involved the changing of not just one line or two, but also his name.
