Bonus Episode 24: Lizard-Skinning Vogan-Worshippers (Big Finish - Return of the Cybermen)

Anthony and Julie are joined by friend-of-the-podcast R. Alan Siler for this season’s side-step into the realms of audio. This time around, we have chosen to do something a little different – rather than focus on an original audio story, we discuss Return of the Cybermen, which is based on an earlier script for Revenge, and was released as part of Big Finish’s Lost Stories range.   Along the way, Julie rages at some of the casting choices, Anthony struggles with Stevenson’s accent, and Alan has strong feelings about the glitter gun, comparing it to a glam rock stage prop! As you would expect, all three discuss the pros-and-cons of recasting much beloved characters such as Sarah Jane Smith and Harry Sullivan.   If you would like to listen along with us, this audio play is available from the Big Finish website (https://bit.ly/3E5JAz1)   Other media mentioned in this episode: Austin Powers Triple Feature (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3G4NQit | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3vuHNyO) Spaceballs (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2WeS5WY | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3gqxe9O) Rex: The Ultimate Collection (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3QpaIP7 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3MYy8Yt) Colonel Bogey March (YouTube: https://youtu.be/QuVYS4uw0as) Other Big Finish audios: The Sarah Jane Smith range (BigFinish.com: https://bit.ly/3A9q1EW) The Lost Stories range (BigFinish.com: https://bit.ly/3GftXrA) Sword of Orion (BigFinish.com: https://bit.ly/3ErrCbG) Lady Christina (BigFinish.com: https://bit.ly/3g7qGjk) The Scorchies (BigFinish.com: https://bit.ly/3TxdPVe) Links to Alan's other podcasts: Alan's Record Bin (https://spoti.fi/3Etk2NT) Doctor Who A(uton) to Z(ygon) (https://spoti.fi/3Az6XjV)  Earth Station Trek (https://bit.ly/3AaVzug) Modern Musicology (https://bit.ly/3EpXCNx)   Finally, you can follow us and interact with us on our social media accounts - Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
