NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 351: "The War Games in Colour" Is Up!

 
"All these evils I have fought, while you have done nothing but observe! True, I am guilty of interference, just as you are guilty of failing to use your great powers to help those in need!"
"Is that all you have to say?"
"Well, isn’t it enough?!"
-- The Second Doctor and Goth, Doctor Who: "The War Games"

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're joined by special guest Holly Mac to discuss "The War Games in Colour", the recut and colorized version of the seventh serial from Doctor Who Season Six from 1969, featuring the final regular story of Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor, Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon, and Wendy Padbury as Zoe Heriot!

In this episode, Jesse, Holly, and I discuss things like Jesse having Hot Doctor Opinions, keeping Holly in the TARDIS library since our last episode, "The War Games in Colour" cutting way too much of the original even for Jesse, Classic Who veteran Philip Madoc, the character names for the unnamed Time Lords, our original discussion of "The War Games" in Episode 028, the new edit's deviations from the original serial, the meaning of the TARDIS year-o-meter error code 03-NYRDWAM-6F[2], "The War Games" showcasing one of the best TARDIS teams ever, the Doctor calling out the Time Lords for not helping those in need, why "The War Games in Colour" looks better than "The Daleks in Colour", Holly's theory that the War Chief is the Celestial Toymaker, why we don't buy the theory that The War Chief is an incarnation of The Master, the War Lord's plan to use the survivors of the various war zones to make an army capable of conquering the galaxy, the Doctor's first trial of a Time Lord, the Time Lords erasing the War Lord from existence, the Time Lords putting the Doctor in a time-out until he defeated Omega, the decision to add New Who Doctors as the Second Doctor's regeneration choices, the new scene showing the Second Doctor regenerating into Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor, our annoyance that the original serial wasn't included with the home video release, my favorite quotes from the serial, my Reverse the Reverse the Polarity segment, new listener feedback from Dave Proctor, Jesse joining Xan Sprouse and me on Drunk Cinema to watch Office Space, our upcoming discussion of "Planet of the Ood", and more!
