NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 375: "The Daleks' Master Plan Episodes 9 - 12" Is Up!

 
"Well, my boy...We finally rid this planet of Daleks!"
"Brett! Katarina! Sara..."
"What a waste. What a terrible waste."
-- The First Doctor and Steven Taylor, Doctor Who: "The Daleks' Master Plan" Episode 12: "Destruction of Time"

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 Episodes 9 through 12 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, and the final appearances of Jean Marsh as Sara Kingdom and Peter Butterworth as The Monk!

In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like Jesse using AI to tell him which team to root for in the 2026 World Cup Final, Jesse's reaction to the final four episodes, the Monk's attempt at revenge upon the Doctor deserving its own serial, my reminding Jesse that Episodes 5 and 10 exist on video, "Escape Switch" being the 100th episode of Doctor Who, writer Dennis Spooner taking inspiration from historical Egyptian names for his Egyptian characters, the Doctor missing from a large portion of "The Abandoned Planet", the First Doctor being a bit "Time Lord Victorious" with the Monk, wondering what the Doctor's history with the Monk was when they were both on Gallifrey, Sara Kingdom bringing more to the table than previous female companions of the First Doctor, comparing Steven Taylor to Ian Chesterton, Steven being the audience's POV character to show grief over Katarina and Sara, The Monk being similar to Mr. Mxyzptlk from Superman comics, the Doctor stealing the Monk's directional unit from his TARDIS, the arrogance of people who work with the Daleks, Sara's decision to go back to help the Doctor costing her life, the serial sticking the landing, the Doctor wanting to celebrate the end of the Daleks while Steven is grieving Katarina and Sara, British parents having the opportunity to talk to their kids about death, companies needing to keep things in print if they don't want people to bootleg them, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Reverse the Polarity segment, new listener feedback from Holly Mac, discussing the first Twelfth Doctor episode for our 12th anniversary, and more!
