In the wake of not only the glorious return of both missing episodes of The Daleks’ Master Plan to the Doctor Who archive but also four brave astronauts (one of them Canadian!) to the Earth, we’re back to our usual cogitating about the BFI screening of the TV Movie on its 30th anniversary, Big Finish covers and a lovely trailer by the Brothers Kibble-White, the Radiophonic Workshop getting a well deserved award, AND the return in the form of Part the Third of our Classic Series Commentary on “The Mysterious Planet”!

The time has come and the two previously missing but now gloriously present episodes of The Daleks’ Master Plan, namely The Nightmare Begins (Episode 1) and Devil’s Planet (Episode 3), are here to be viewed and reviewed! They appeared not only on the BBC iPlayer but also in full on the US (but not Canadian, feh) Classic Doctor Who Youtube channel, and we have viewed said episodes and have thoughts. But that’s not all we also have an interview with Toby Hadoke, who hosted a screening at Riverside Studios and reflects with Steven on the screening, the episodes, and the overall wonder that is their return!

Happy Magna Carta Day, everyone! One of them, anyway. Now that that’s out of the way, there’s heated debate on The Billie Piper Matter in both The Sun and The Telegraph, and the Three Who Rule add their shopworn takes to this interminable discussion that will be an absolute delight until Xmas 2026. Plus we have a set report from 2004, the iPlayer possibly re-re-re-inventing cable and hosting rival broadcasters, the Ianto Shrine nearing its end and the feelings around that, and most importantly, Part the Second of our “The Mysterious Planet” Classic Series Commentary!

The Three Who Rule are reunited as Steven reports back from his sojourn into the depths of Los Angeles and Gallifrey One and Chris and Warren regale him with tales of The Android Invasion and Warriors of the Deep viewings in Vancouver! Burying the lead here though, it’s a banner day for Whovians as that most holy of 1970s brands, Fisher-Price has finally released Little People in the form of Doctors 9-15, excluding 14. Plus we have a surfeit of Big Finish covers to wildly speculate about, BBC executive Zai Bennett adds to the pile of vague confirmations about the future of Doctor Who, and more!

It’s Gallifrey One time! While the Canadian contingent in Los Angeles this year was low (including both Warren and Chris, who like many Canadians chose not to frequent the environs of our troubled neighbours), Steven represented both the Embassy of Radio Free Skaro, and the nation of Canada (the latter unofficially). Erika from Verity! and Chip from 2MTL join Steven in recapping this weekend’s convention, including talks of panels, and going inside with the many main stage interviews that Steven performed.

It’s that time of year again, the annual Gallifrey One preview show, and even though only one of our august number is braving the geopolitical winds of Canada-U.S. kerfuffles (Steven, if you’re keeping track) that won’t stop us from overanalyzing the schedule and pointing out all the highlights! Plus a surfeit of Big Finish releases, a destroyed Dalek dolly along with 1980s Tegan, some musical deep dives, and more!
