Episode 164: Hold Me Closer, Tiny Master (Planet of Fire)

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.
