NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 185: "The Ambassadors of Death" Is Up!


"You're not surprised to see me?"
"Not particularly, no."
"I'm surprised to see you, Doctor.  My instructions were that you were to be killed!"
"Well, somebody disobeyed your instructions, didn't they?"
-- General Charles Carrington and the Third Doctor, Doctor Who: "The Ambassadors of Death"

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 DK Nik from Happiness in Darkness: The Superhero Movie Podcast to discuss "The Ambassadors of Death", the third serial from Doctor Who Season Seven in 1970, featuring Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor, Caroline John as Liz Shaw, Nicholas Courtney as The Brigadier, and John Abineri as General Charles Carrington!

In this episode, Jesse, Nik and I discuss things like Jesse getting an email from a listener about him talking over me, Nik finally being able to go outside and hang with his friends, our thoughts on the Zack Snyder Cut of Justice League coming to HBO Max, Jon Pertwee's fashion choices as the Third Doctor, the poor recolorization of Episodes 2 through 7, David Whittaker's script being completely rewritten for the Pertwee Era, The Second Master being married to Liz Shaw, Nik's criticism of Liz's fashion choices, Liz getting her own action sequence, Doctor Who capitalizing on the world's interest in space after the 1969 Moon landing, Peter Capaldi paying homage to Jon Pertwee in his Twelfth Doctor, UNIT getting their asses kicked, Ralph Cornish being a bad head of the British Space Center, Carrington and Reegan having different agendas for the Ambassadors, Carrington's fixation with doing his "moral duty", John Wakefield being a terrible newscaster, Elvis' Aloha from Hawaii album, Bessie's Anti-Theft device, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Reverse the Polarity segment, Steven Moffat writing a poem based on his episode "Listen", new feedback from Holly Mac and David K. Proctor, Jesse never inviting me to be a guest on his Bruce Springsteen podcast, our Unofficial Brigadier Month, and more!
