NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 373: "The Daleks' Master Plan Episodes 1 - 4" Is Up!

 
"I hope she's reached her Place of Perfection."
"Yes, but not that way."
"She didn't understand. She couldn't understand. She wanted to save our lives, and perhaps the lives of all the other beings of the solar system. I hope she's found her Perfection. Oh, how I shall always remember her as one of the daughters of the gods. Yes, as one of the daughters of the gods."
-- The First Doctor and Steven Taylor, Doctor Who: "The Daleks' Master Plan" Episode 4: "The Traitors"

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 discuss Doctor Who's return to the Wilderness Years, along with Episodes 1 through 4 of "The Daleks' Master Plan", the fourth serial of Doctor Who Season 3 from 1965-66, featuring William Hartnell as the First Doctor, Peter Purves as Steven Taylor, Adrienne Hill as Katarina, and introducing Jean Marsh as Sara Kingdom!

In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like Jesse sending my birthday gift to my old mailing address, the big news that the Doctor Who 2026 Christmas Special is cancelled and Russell T Davies and Bad Wolf Productions are out, why J. Michael Straczynski won't be the new Doctor Who showrunner, Russell T Davies misleading everyone about the 2026 Christmas Special, more on Doctor Who fandom being toxic these days, Disney not wanting to air The War Between the Land and the Sea even though they paid for it, what Jesse and I would like to see from a new Doctor Who production team, why we won't see new Doctor Who until 2028 at the earliest, hoping that Doctor Who returns before we die, Jesse "eating his vegetables" with "The Daleks' Master Plan", "The Daleks' Master Plan" being the longest undisputed Doctor Who story to date, why the serial was 12 episodes long, Katarina being the first companion to be killed off and why she was written out of the series, Terry Nation modeling Sara Kingdom on Cathy Gale from The Avengers TV series, Episode 4 being loaned to the children's magazine program Blue Peter but never being returned to the BBC Film Library, why the mineral taranium was changed from vitaranium, Jesse feeling sorry for Adrienne Hill, the Doctor being two steps ahead of everyone else, Katarina's sacrifice to save the Doctor and Steven, the Doctor posing as Zephon during the Legion of Doom meeting, Jesse's reaction to Nicholas Courtney as Bret Vyon instead of the Brigadier, our first reactions to Sara Kingdom, really bad YouTube animation for the missing episodes, the Daleks hooking up with elite space billionaires to take over the universe, Zephon trying to throw Mavic Chen under the bus, wondering why the Doctor and Steven quickly forgot about Katarina after she died, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Reverse the Polarity segment, new listener feedback from Holly Mac and Dave Proctor, my advice on how you stay married, and more!
