Radio Free Skaro #957 – What Are The Movellans Watching?

Hi. Listener from your very earliest days here. Doesn’t 17 years go in fast?! Anyway, just a little suggestion for Steven when he and Erika some day get through Midsummer Murders. Im watching my way through the 1979-1994 series Minder (based around the weekly wheeler-dealer shenanigans of one Arthur Daley and his partner in crime Terry McCann) and not only to you get to see some lovely bits of then-contemporary London in all its (initially) disco-era glory but, more importantly, every ep without fail at least two or three Doctor Who and/or Blake’s 7 will show up. Give it long enough and there’ll probably be some Star Cops peeps in there too 😂
Feel free to ignore the recommendation- I just have a feeling it could be right up your street. And as you likely already know, Verity Lambert was heavily involved in it so… nuff said.

Well, here’s to the next 957… cheers to you all three for dependably seeing me through many ups and downs, my weekly RFS fix has been at times a lifeline but mostly just a huge pleasure. I still drink from my now-cracked but still viable RFS mug every tea break at work (please get some more made before it falls apart I beg you!) as you’re my all time favourite podcast, and always will be.

  Ah Mark, if only Minder was available on BritBox here in Canada, otherwise it would be required viewing for the Doctor Who actor spotting enthusiast such as myself. I have been in a room of drunken Doctor Who writers singing the theme to it, though, so at least I have that to go on.

    Aw, such a shame that it’s not. Maybe one day, fingers crossed…
