"I've lost my TARDIS, you've lost your memory. I'd be surprised if the two events weren't connected."
"Let me tell you, sir, that I'm in full possession of all my faculties. After all, if I was suffering from amnesia, I'd be the first to know about it, wouldn't I?"
-- The Fifth Doctor and Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, Doctor Who: "Mawdryn Undead"
Hello again, everyone! My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back with another new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast! This time, we're joined by special guest companion Hannah Skorapa to conclude Brigadier Month as we discuss "Mawdryn Undead", the third serial from Doctor Who Season 20 in 1983, featuring Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, the introduction of Mark Strickson as Vislor Turlough, and the return of Nicholas Courtney as the Brigadier and Valentine Dyall as the Black Guardian!
In this episode, Jesse, Hannah and I discuss things like Hannah suggesting "Mawdryn Undead" instead of our planned "Arc of Infinity", my various Fifth Doctor action figures, the Fifth Doctor era having bad male companions, Valentine Dyall as Deep Thought in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy TV series, the original plan to have William Russell's Ian Chesterton meet the Fifth Doctor instead of the Brigadier, John Nathan-Turner making Mark Strickson dye his hair red, Nicholas Courtney not appearing in the modern era of Doctor Who, Fifth Doctor cosplay fails, the Fifth Doctor helping the Brigadier regain his lost memories, Jesse thinking the Brigadier is going to kill the Doctor because he doesn't know him, Turlough being a jerk to everyone, the Black Guardian going all Nightmare on Elm Street with Turlough, the Black Guardian's Commodore 64 graphic background, my explanation of why the Fifth Doctor agreed to let Turlough travel with him, Jesse not being able to distinguish between Tegan and Nyssa, Tegan being the "mouth on legs", Mawdryn having rubber bands for exposed brains, what happened to the child actors playing young Tegan and Nyssa, the Blinovitch Limitation Effect, wondering what the Fifth Doctor would've done about using his regenerations if he knew he was the Timeless Child, Hannah's theory about Tecteun putting a cap on the Doctor's regenerations, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Reverse the Polarity segment, new feedback from Holly Mac and David K. Proctor, my upcoming appearance on Jesse's Set Lusting Bruce podcast, and more!
