NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 215: "The Faceless Ones" Is Up!

 
"What's a passport?"
"Oh, some sort of official mumbo-jumbo."
-- Jamie McCrimmon and the Second Doctor, Doctor Who: "The Faceless Ones"

Hello again, everyone!  My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back with a new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast!  In this episode, we discuss "The Faceless Ones", the eighth serial from Doctor Who Season Four in 1967, featuring Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor, Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon, Pauline Collins as Samantha Briggs, and the departures of Michael Craze as Ben Jackson and Anneke Wills as Polly Wright!

In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like celebrating the inauguration of President Joe Biden, celebrating the birthdays of Tom Baker and David Lynch, Jesse watching all episodes of "The Faceless Ones" in animation, the infinite stupidity of the BBC junking Doctor Who episodes from the Hartnell and Troughton eras, fans saving the original audio by recording the episodes on home recorders, my preference for tangible media, Wanda Ventham being Benedict Cumberbatch's mom, classic companions never becoming romantically involved or marrying one another, the passport scene as "Who's on First?", the Doctor playing the fool so that his enemies underestimate him, Gatwick Airport security not caring about a dead body, Ben and Polly deciding they've had enough of traveling in the TARDIS, D.I. Crossland being the only one who takes the Doctor seriously, Polly getting replaced by a Chameleon, "The Faceless Ones" having strong female characters for 1967, Blade flipping on the Chameleon Leader to save his own life, wanting animated Big Finish Doctor Who audios, our favorite quotes of the episode, new feedback from Holly Mac, my Reverse the Reverse the Polarity segment, Jesse's friend John being converted into a Whovian, and more!
