NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 196: "Shada" Is Up!


"Did you just see what I didn't see?"
"No."
"Neither did I."
-- The Fourth Doctor and Chris Parsons, Doctor Who: "Shada"

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're joined by special guest companion Dave Proctor to discuss "Shada", the unaired final serial from Doctor Who Season 17 in 1980, written by Douglas Adams and completed in 2017 using animation, featuring Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor, Lalla Ward as the Second Romana, David Brierley as the voice of K-9, Denis Carey as as Professor Chronotis, and Christopher Neame as Skagra!

In this episode, Jesse, and I discuss things like Dave making his Next Stop Everywhere debut, how Dave got into Doctor Who, Dave getting his wife into Doctor Who, why Dave picked "Shada" to discuss, Douglas Adams using elements of "Shada" for his novel Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, running down the timeline of events of how fans got to finally see "Shada" completed, more of Jesse discussing classic era pacing, Douglas Adams and Tom Baker being such a great pairing, 2017 Tom Baker reprising the Fourth Doctor at the end of "Shada", Warwick Davis in Willow, the Doctor parking the TARDIS in Professor Chronotis' office, the TARDIS helping humans find their way easily, the Doctor's telepathic contact, Salyavin being a political prisoner of the Time Lords, Professor Chronotis serving every visitor tea and biscuits, wondering why Skagra didn't have more Kraags, the Doctor riding a bicycle through Cambridge, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Reverse the Polarity segment, new feedback from Holly Mac, my ultra-cheap sound effect machine, and more!
