NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 333: "Frontier in Space" Is Up!

 
"We are about to enter hyperdrive and return to our base. Do not fail the Daleks!"
"Right, we'll see who rules the galaxy when this is over. 'Do not fail the Daleks', indeed. You stupid tin boxes."
-- Dalek Voice and the First Master, Doctor Who: "Frontier in Space"

Hello again, everyone! My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back for another new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast! This time, we discuss "Frontier in Space", the third serial from Doctor Who Season 10 in 1973, featuring Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor, Katy Manning as Jo Grant, and the final appearance of Roger Delgado as the First Master!

In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like my Ohio State Buckeyes laying the beatdown on Jesse's Texas Longhorns in the College Football Playoffs, "Frontier in Space" not kicking in until the Master showed up, the story ending on a cliffhanger for "Planet of the Daleks", the tragic death of Roger Delgado, original plans for the Master to have a final encounter in the scrapped serial "The Final Game", the original plans for the Cybermen to appear in "Frontier in Space" instead of the Ogrons, the original plans for "Frontier in Space" and "Planet of the Daleks" to be one 12-part serial, director Paul Bernard omitting the giant Ogron-eating monster, the Draconians being Jon Pertwee's favorite Doctor Who monster, the Ogron stuntmen being asked to move homeless people and drunks so filming could proceed, Jesse liking the Third Doctor and Jo's chemistry, the Third Doctor overloading the mind probe, the Master reading H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, Jo resisting the Master's hypnotism by reciting nursery rhymes, the Doctor not being at all concerned that he's in prison, the Third Doctor as a moral crusader, the Doctor realizing that he needed to contact the Time Lords, the female President of Earth, General Williams being more misguided than evil, wondering why the Master would use the dimwitted Ogrons as henchmen, the Master planning to betray the Daleks once they take control of Earth, our favorite quotes of the story, new listener feedback from Holly Mac and Sandi from Oregon, my upcoming story for DC Comics' anthology DC's Lex and the City #1, our upcoming schedule the first third of 2025, trying to persuade DJ Nik and Xan Sprouse to join us for upcoming episodes, and more!
