Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels

Your host Toby Hadoke is very tired on this one, so he barely has the energy for a Highland fling. Hopefully he makes up for his lack of energy in the post-commentary coda. And fortunately, brilliant guest Michael Dennis (who wrote for Mark Gatiss' excellent Queers anthology of monologues) is on hand to be far more interesting, eloquent and, well, awake than Toby is. Hopefully those of you less familiar with this story come away with a newfound appreciation for it after this. And that one of you has it in your attic.

"There is no such thing as Happy Times and Place 37.2" etc. Of course there is. And this is it. a rewarding look at an under appreciated story with special guest Michael Dennis, who has worked extensively in theatre as a company manager and is an excellent writer too. But will host Toby Hadoke manage to stay in control...?

And so the first Dalek story comes to the part of Terry Nation's storyline that took up the leats space in his initial breakdown. There's not a lot of plot but plenty of jeopardy as Ian and co traverse the maze of tunnels on the mountainside. Behind the scenes there's a new director and designer and the Daleks are starting t made an impact on surrounding popular culture. So enjoy the who, What and Where of the penultimate episode of this epic tale, and then drop in with one of its guest stars who enables us to make this perhaps the only classic Doctor Who podcast to mention Donatella Versace and Naomi Campbell.

Richard Bignell's contribution to this podcast is super - fact-filled, perceptive and brimming with enthusiasm. At there's a lot to wax lyrical about this week - humour, horror and heebie-jeebies ... but with so much to choose from, is there any chance that either Richard or your host Toby Hadoke will ever choose the same thing?

An all-time classic but interestingly, not one you host, Toby Hadoke, is familiar with in its broadcast form (even though he has watched it more than most stories) : don't worry, it's all explained in the course of this very upbeat jaunt back in time. And by upbeat of course, we mean lethal, scary and violent! Part of the reason for the perkiness amongst the terror is the superb contribution of this edition's guest, uber Doctor Who researcher Richard Bignell, who brings a lot to the table.

And so we get to the final episode of Terminus, which means only one thing .... that Laurence Clark and host Toby Hadoke have to choose two favourite things this time. So it doesn't mean one thing then... I means two. It's been a funny old trip but it's fascinating to re-explore one of Doctor Who's less discussed stories. But if you, in the course of your quest, choose the same thing as Laurence does for his bonus then we will be so surprised that we'll give you a million pounds*.

Comedian, writer and disability campaigner Laurence Clark has chosen a much maligned Doctor Who story - is there much fun to be had amongst the ill and the grumpy? Of course there is - there's a fat dog man, Jarvick from Blake's 7 and some kinky boots. But will any of these things make it to his favourites list, or to that of your host Toby Hadoke?

Ever thought the universe was ignoring you? This is for anyone who has ever felt invisible, and is a deep dive into missing names, mis-spelled monickers and confused credits. It's also been one of the most popular episodes on the Patreon page so if you've never sampled Indefinable Magic before maybe it's worth puling this one out of the hat...
