"Oh, this is really, really…disgusting!"
"It’s at times like this when I always regret never having taken up the cello."
-- Dr. Alison Foster and the Fourth Doctor, Doctor Who: "Destination: Nerva"
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 executive producer Rob Southgate from the Southgate Media Group to discuss "Destination: Nerva", the first release from Big Finish Productions' Doctor Who: The Fourth Doctor Adventures range in 2012, featuring the return of Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor, Louise Jameson as Leela, Raquel Cassidy as Dr. Alison Foster, and Tim Treloar as Lord Jack Corrigan!
In this episode, Jesse, Rob and I discuss things like Tom Baker finally agreeing to record Fourth Doctor audios for Big Finish, the first Big Finish Doctor Who audio "The Sirens of Time", why Rob wanted to discuss a Big Finish audio, the fate of the Coo Coo for Who podcast, how Rob became a Doctor Who fan, Marvel Comics' Doctor Who series, how Rob found out that Doctor Who returned in the modern era, how Rob's daughter Molly and wife Martha became Doctor Who fans, Molly adapting Joe Hill's Locke & Key comic book series into a live stage reading, Rob listening to Tom Baker's voice in "Destination: Nerva", the Fourth Doctor being a bit of a jerk at times, "Destination: Nerva" embracing the body horror from Tom Baker's TV era, Leela being the sci-fi version of Eliza Doolittle, the unexpected twist that people transformed into Epiderms were restored to normal, Lord Jack's ambition to grow the British Empire in space, the brutish-sounding Drellerans being pacifists, why Big Finish should start sponsoring our podcast, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Reverse the Polarity segment, new feedback from Dave Proctor, details on the 200th episode of Next Stop Everywhere, and more!
