It's my birthday week!!!I thought it might be an interesting show to find a story of Doctor Who Classic that had any episodes being originally broadcasted on November 3rd.Turns out there's ONLY ONE! Season 17's classic story, "The Creature From The Pit"!Season 17 turned out to be a special season for quite a few reasons:- 17 was Graeme William’s last year as Producer- 17 was also Douglas Adam’s last year as script editor- 17 was the final season of incidental music by Dudley Simpson- 17 was the final season of Tom Baker’s amazing tunnel intro sequence- 17 was the first season of Lalla Ward playing Romana II- 17 had David Brierly voicing K9 instead of John LeesonThe Creature From The Pit also had a few "milestones":- The first produced story featuring Lalla Ward as Romana II (though not the first story broadcast)- The last story directed by Christopher Barry who had directed various Doctor Who stories as far back as William Hartnell's eraI am flying solo in this episode of the podcast, as Collin is busy moving residences and saving his company from certain disaster.

In this story, the neo-Nazi De Flores (Anton Diffring), the 17th-century sorceress Lady Peinforte (Fiona Walker), and the Cyberman vie for control of the Nemesis, a statue containing a living metal which crash-landed near Windsor Castle in 1988.You can also watch the show here on YouTube - https://youtu.be/wf4nKzp1GOM

Sylvestor McCoy's first story is...well it's his first story. He's trying to figure things out, while dealing with the Rani, a giant brain, and creatures with eye balls all over their heads. It's no wonder that he almost accidentally kills Mel, while coming up with some bad puns.Follow me on Twitter (https://twitter.com/eyuzwa) - Be sure to leave a rating and review for this podcast, it REALLY helps the algorithm!

The 6th Doctor is in trouble! Put on trial by his own people (AGAIN), the Doctor implicates himself with the charge of genocide of the Vervoids via his own defense. Soon, however, the Master appears to illuminate the situation -- the High Council of Time Lords on Gallifrey made a secret deal with the Valeyard; in exchange for a guilty verdict, the Valeyard will have access to all the remaining regenerations of the Doctor. Crikey!In a bit of a mess of a season that saw Doctor Who return with a total of 14 episodes, the death of Robert Holmes, Eric Saward quitting the show and Colin Baker getting the sack.Follow me on social media - https://twitter.com/eyuzwa
