"Thank you, Brigadier, but do you think that for once in your life you could manage to arrive before the nick of time?"
"I'm glad to see you too, Doctor."
-- The Third Doctor and Brigadier Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, Doctor Who: "The Mind of Evil"
Hello again, Whovians! This time, special guest companion John Takacs returns to Next Stop Everywhere to help me discuss "The Mind of Evil", the second serial from Doctor Who Season 8 in 1971, starring Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor, Katy Manning as Jo Grant, Nicholas Courtney as The Brigadier, and Roger Delgado as the First Master!
In this episode, John and I discuss things like Jo being the definitive Third Doctor companion, "The Mind of Evil" finally being released in color on DVD, my recording Monty Python and the Holy Grail on audio cassette, not letting go of our VHS tapes, Barry Letts banning director Timothy Combe from being considered from any future Doctor Who productions, obscure Doctor Who alien Koquillion, writer Don Houghton being married to Captain Chin Lee, the Master smoking cigars, UNIT's Corporal Carol Bell, William Marlowe being married to Catherine Schell and Kismet Delgado, Doctor Who using Asian actors to play Asian characters, Jo being supportive of the Third Doctor, Jo's compassion towards Barnham, the Doctor being annoyed that the Master is free to roam time and space while he's stuck in exile with the Brigadier, the Master's convoluted plan to fire a missile and start World War III so he can take over a nuclear wasteland, the Master giving up on the Keller Machine because it became too powerful for him to control, the Master thinking impulsively but not about the ramifications of his plans, wondering how the Keller Machine became able to teleport, UNIT's epic fail as a security force for the World Peace Conference, the Brigadier being upset that Benton passed out while following Chin Lee, the HAVOC stunt team, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Reverse the Polarity segment, new listener feedback from Hannah Skorapa and Holly from Wisconsin, and more!
