Doctor Who: Watchers in the Fourth Dimension

Episode 92: The Shatner of Doctor Who (Third Doctor Retrospective)


Listen Later

We’re back to stretch out the Pertwee era for just one more episode, as our good friend R. Alan Siler joins the show to interview our regular cast about the entirety of the Pertwee era – the good, the bad, and the outright Masterful! Join us as we meander through a conversation about the joys of Delgado and UNIT, the best supporting characters, the pitfalls of bad CSO and overuse of synthesizers, and a dissection of the development of the Third Doctor.

 

Along the way, Don ponders whether the Master cooked fish in the UNIT microwave, Anthony asks whether anyone on the Production Team actually knew any women, Julie manages to avoid mentioning Benton while the crew talk about UNIT (until prompted, at least), Alan draws parallels between the development of the Third and Twelfth Doctors, and Reilly issues a plea for Pertwee’s interview of Shatner to be re-uploaded to the internet. The crew once again wraps things up with a game of snog, marry, exterminate – with hilarious consequences!
