NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 269: "Davros" is Up!

 
"Baynes was clear. We are to work together."
"Well, we are working together. I'm pleasantly surprised just how well you're fitting in as my assistant. Now, I'm going to be a bit busy, do mind making tea?"
(Davros snarls in frustration)
"Oh, come on, Davros. Making tea shouldn't be beyond you. After all, you can't say team without saying tea."
-- Davros and the Sixth Doctor, Doctor Who: "Davros"

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! This time, we're joined by special guest companion Rachel Frend as we pay tribute to the late Bernard Cribbins and discuss "Davros", the second audio drama from Big Finish Productions' celebration of Doctor Who's 40th Anniversary in 2003, featuring Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor, Terry Molloy as Davros, and Wendy Padbury as Lorraine Baynes!

In this episode, Jesse, Rachel and I discuss things like Texas being hit with rain, why Rachel selected "Davros" to discuss, paying tribute to the passing of Bernard Cribbins, the Big Finish synopsis for Davros not being accurate to what the story is about, Davros being powered by hatred, Davros not being able to keep himself from going off the rails even when he's trying to become a better person, Bernard Horsfall as the same Time Lord in "The War Games" and "The Deadly Assassin", Big Finish's Doctor Who 40th anniversary stories doing deep dives on villains, the Sixth Doctor operating alone while Peri is off elsewhere at a botany symposium, the Sixth Doctor and Davros both trying to be the Smartest Person in the Room, wondering if the Sixth Doctor experienced memories of working for UNIT while in exile on Earth during his third incarnation, Terry Molloy's return as Davros, Arnold and Lorraine Baynes being a horrible power couple, Lorraine being a complete sycophant for Davros, Davros being worse than Arnold Baynes, the rich and powerful vs. the media trying to expose them for what they are, Kim taking herself off the board so the Doctor wouldn't be hesitant about crashing Davros' ship, Shan being revealed as the one who came up with the idea for the Daleks, Davros being That Guy at Work who steals credit for the accomplishments of others, Davros being jealous of Shan fraternizing with Councilor Valron, Davros making up "evidence" to have Shan and Councilor Valron arrested and executed, Davros thinking there could be only one greatest scientist in Skaro history, Doctor Who predicting the future again, out favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Reverse the Polarity segment, new feedback from Holly Mac, Rachel returning soon to discuss her second-favorite Doctor, our upcoming discussion of "The Happiness Patrol", and more!
