Happy 250th episode from all of us at the 20mb Podcast
Before both BBC3 and BBC4 start at 7pm, both channels are BBC children’s channels. These are on a different number on the TV however, but share the same airwaves. These are on air from early morning until 7pm then switch over.
I’ll miss the Miniscope. Let’s not have it gone too long, yes?
Don’t blame us, Brian. Blame Steven Moffat and his brilliant strategy of denying us months-long gaps of Doctor Who.
I blame no one, Steven. As my long departed father used to say, “when you point fingers, you’ve got three pointing back at you.”
He also once asked, “What in the hell is a Bessie?” but that’s irrelevant to the subject.
I might have imagined it to take my mind off of the actual story but I seem to remember some vaguely interesting romantic tension between the Queen and Sara Jane in Monster of Peladon. Yeah, it is probably something that only happened in my mind, or maybe you fellows cracked wise about it on the commentary track and it makes the memory of the story more palatable so it stuck. It’s really quite terrible how the stereotypically evil militaristic alien species, the Ice Warriors, were made interesting in the first Peladon story only to have all that progress undone in the second.
Also, R.I.P. Elisabeth Sladen. I… It’s… Too soon. I’ll be in my corner crying.
Just wanted to pop in here and also express my heartfelt sadness at the passing of Elisabeth Sladen. She was certainly far too young. Hopefully she’s gone to the great big U.N.I.T. gathering in the sky.
You guys just got done having a tribute to one of Dr. Who’s legends. Sadly, now you’ll have to do another. I’m getting really tired of seeing people I like dying from this horrible disease.
