Doctor Who: Watchers in the Fourth Dimension

We’re joined by legendary friend-of-the-podcast R. Alan Siler as we let out a collective “WHY!?!?” at The War Games in Colour. Naturally, we look at both the colourisation itself, as well as the re-cut of the story from 10 episodes into a 90 minute TV movie – especially the highs and lows of the new material added. Join us as Julie reignites her love for Jamie, while we discuss such important matters as clips shows, the excessive blue-ness of Troughton’s shirt, bad colourisations of classic movies by TBS, why physical media continues to be King, Terrance Dicks’ original intents (and how some were ignored here), and how uncomfortable deep fake technology makes Reilly feel. Finally, Anthony goes on quite a fantastic rant about the sheer arrogance of Russell T. Davies.   If you would like to watch along with us, you can get these episodes on physical media from Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3T5oqfz) and Amazon US (https://amzn.to/4bf6wNI).   Other media mentioned in this episode*: Dragonball Z – Seasons 1-9 (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/4wc0hlZ | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/4anTRI7) Community – The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3hPClB0 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/39hGzwz) Star Trek: The Original Series: The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3aifha7 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/2YtSYvx) Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3ptuM83 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3BSULsQ) Harry Potter: Complete 8-Film Collection (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3SdAHd5 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3oFjhZh) Worzel Gummidge: The Combined Harvest Complete Collection (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/4cYEvIg | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3AT5oAa) An Adventure in Space and Time (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3AXF6an | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3vtBjR6) Big Finish: Zagreus (BigFinish.com: https://bit.ly/3Oc0xxF) Doctor Who: Devious (YouTube: https://youtu.be/Y6KgHZgEvd8) Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/4ajt7Zi | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3QMMZ0e)   Finally, you can also follow us and interact with us on Facebook and Instagram.

Anthony brings an update with the reason for our ongoing hiatus and when you can (probably) expect more episodes of Watchers in the Fourth Dimension again.

In this penultimate episode of the Davison era, we continue to clear house of the Fifth Doctor’s TARDIS by finally saying goodbye to Turlough (and there was much rejoicing by Julie and Reilly). That’s right dear listeners, we are covering Planet of Fire!   Join us as Reilly gives us his unexpected opinions on the Master’s return for the umpteenth time, Julie and Diana get supremely frustrated with our returning lady director due to her gratuitous shots of Peri, Anthony gives us some insight on how this story impacted his formative years, and everyone expresses joy with the location filming. We also hope that all of our listeners start using P-Dave just so we can keep it alive for Anthony.   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 21 Blu Ray box set available for pre-order from Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/4aLrt3v)   Other media mentioned in this episode*: Monty Python’s Life of Brian (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3OrjEm5 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3EEb6nr) Flash Gordon (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3BVj895 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3AXEzoB) Department S (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/4kXGxOy | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/4rI7Kar) Jason King (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/4aERTUc | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/4rLzI5o) Lawrence of Arabia (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/4l51FCD | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3MNbatx) Indiana Jones – The Complete Collection (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3n4YBbU | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3DQ3BIs) Mary Poppins (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2ZfGyrV | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3vBxrxo) James Bond – The Complete Collection (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3FWn6kg | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3DQB4lR) Harry Potter: Complete 8-Film Collection (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3SdAHd5 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3oFjhZh) Willow (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/40zYol9 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/4cgVKYR) Game of Thrones: The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3lRgVWD | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3aQhh9U) The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/4s8IQAA | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/4aMXQgs) The Very Best of Elton John (Amazon US: | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/4cqmgiB) Finally, you can also follow us and interact with us on Facebook and Instagram.

It’s time to once again say “hello!” to everyone’s favourite pepper pots – the Daleks – as they return to their creator Davros, in Resurrection of the Daleks. But do the creatures and their creator have the same agenda? We’re about to find out as we tackle this action-packed and violence-filled adventure!   Join us as we talk about high body counts (no, not that type!), the weakness of the Daleks as they come out of their war, the increasingly shouty nature of Davros (and his choking noises), the Doctor using a handgun, cats in Doctor Who, the British obsession over tea, and how a bunch of current world leaders might actually be destabilizing Dalek sleeper agents. Meanwhile, Julie really wants every British actor ever to have been in Z Cars.   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).

Warm up your pan flutes and brace yourself for meteorites, listeners. We really hope none of you get sucked into the ground just to be used by our favorite giant pill bugs. That’s right, everyone. We’ve made it to Frontios.    Over the course of the episode, we notice too many references to previous and future Doctor Who stories (talking about you, Moffat), the Watchers note how heavy handed they are in their naming of characters (and none of us care), Reilly comments on who the Gravis reminds him of (and it’s likely not what you think), and Julie actually utters the phrase “I don’t hate Turlough, guys”. We also continue to ask the age-old question: “Reilly, is Davidson the Doctor yet?”   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).
