Bonus Episode 29: The Canadian Alien (Doctor Who and the Pescatons)

In our latest bonus episode, the Watchers crew commit the ultimate act of masochism in discussing Doctor Who and the Pescatons, the legendary audio adventure recorded the day after Elisabeth Sladen’s departure from the show was announced to the press and released in between Seasons 13 and 14.    Join us as we discuss this interesting little oddity from Doctor Who’s history, featuring both Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen at the height of their powers in 1976. Listen in as Julie corrects Anthony about woodwinds, Reilly praises the ghost story vibes of the serial, and Anthony stereotypes the entire population of Canada.   If you would like to listen along with us, you can find it through Amazon US (https://amzn.to/3ZSK9Hd) and Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3tzz2qA).   Other media mentioned in this episode: Supergirl (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3tx8iqy | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3ZRWBHb) Supergran: Series 1 (Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3FhDKeZ) Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/46JnY97 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3FfcBJR) Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of the War of the Worlds (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3aLn9B7 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3lMAEa4) Humanoids from the Deep (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3QfIKqK | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3M2sK97) Jaws (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3y2U9kT | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/39EeZxl) Spaceballs (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2WeS5WY | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3gqxe9O) The Very Best of Jethro Tull (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/46vqpM9 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/48PF4n5) Doctor Who comedy skit: “The Web of Caves” (YouTube: https://youtu.be/W2xJwSKyjnw) Edwin Starr – War (YouTube: https://youtu.be/dQHUAJTZqF0) Big Finish – The Holy Terror (BigFinish.com: https://bit.ly/3rNTt2t)   Finally, you can follow us and interact with us on our social media accounts - Facebook, Instagram, and X.
