Overall a great story, more ambitious than its budget allowed, packed with great sci-fi ideas, and of course one of the finest Tardis crews. If you only watch one Tom Baker story, this is a solid pick.
Not that anyone should watch only one Tom Baker, there’s a reason he got 7 seasons.

In a week replete with San Diego Comic Con, a semi-invigorated BBC Shop, and a SDCC-adjacent UNIT Black Archive pop-up, you would think there would be more Doctor Who news to cogitate about this week, but you would in fact be wrong! However a new multi-media extravaganza featuring the Fugitive Doctor (hooray!) named “Circuit Breaker” (meh?) has been announced, to follow up the thundering success of Time Lord Victorious and Doom’s Day. Are the Three Who Rule excited at this chance to read, listen and click in 2026? We’ll see! Plus tales of Big Finish, BFI screenings, a new Terrance Dicks biography, and an intervention as Steven’s latest descent into madness focused on spiral staircases!

Metebelis Two PodcastM2P #258 - We conclude our look at Ian Marter's time on #DoctorWho with a chat about Harry Sullivan's final two stories. We suggest some ideas to give Harry a dramatic series exit. We conclude by lament Marter's untimely death on his 42nd birthday and the missed possibility of him writing Virgin Missing and New Adventures novels. Plus a bonus rebroadcast of a 1984 #IanMarter interview from the Chuck Rabb Show.
M2P #255 - We continue with our #IanMarter discussion with a brief conversation about the debut of #HarrySullivan im #DoctorWho! Plus we have new details about Marter's time at #StEdmundHall at #OxfordUniversity including a vinyl record of Marter singing in "You Can't Do Much Without a Screwdriver," an original musical staged by the Oxford University Experimental Theatre Club in May 1965, and several pictures of Ian with fellow students and one with #RichardBurton.
M2P# 254 - We kick off our #IanMarter retrospective with a look at his time at #OxfordUniversity. Thanks to back issues of St Edmund Hall Magazine, we uncover new information that places Ian at Oxford 3 years earlier than is widely and incorrectly reported.
We found that Marter was at #StEdmundHall / Teddy Hall, from 1963-1966 and was involved with drama in the #JohnOldhamSociety and drama cuppers… plus Crown Court, The Carnival of Monsters, and much more!

Some presumably just not run into yet or checked, but if there aren't several entries on e.g. the #IanMarter Harry tag 4 me to just boost the way I used 2 there? There is not enough happening here on fannish fronts.
And no. There are TWO posts on the Marter 1. Not hundreds as once.
