Episode 159: The Podcast Episode of Rassilon (The Five Doctors)

Описание: In today’s episode we get not one, not two, not three, not four, but five Doctors. You heard right, everyone, we are covering the amazing story that is The Five Doctors, featuring Richard Hurndall as our replacement Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, a light sprinkling of Tom Baker, AND Peter Davison. Join us as we try and determine just how many things “of Rassilon” we can name (hint, it’s definitely more than ten).
Over the course of the episode, Diana waxes poetic about her new favorite boy (the Raston Warrior Robot), though we all wonder just where he keeps those short spears, Julie gets her ten seconds of Jamie so we know she’s ecstatic, Reilly continues to dislike most things that go “squish” as we experience one of the Cybermen’s death, and Anthony gets to truly relish the fact that the rest of us mainly understand his nostalgia for this story. We also wonder where Terrence Dicks kept his checklist as he was writing this story and upset that Peter Moffat somehow missed the memo for letting Jon Pertwee get away with no gurning.

If you would like to watch along with us, you can find this entire season available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB). If you’re a little old fashioned and prefer physical media (like our very own Anthony), you can also find it on the Doctor Who Season 20 Blu Ray box set from Amazon US (https://amzn.to/3VyxIPe) and Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3V2IL34)
