NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 355: "Image of the Fendahl" Is Up!

 
"What is it?"
"There's a guard. I shall kill him."
"No."
"Why not?"
"You'll upset the dog."
-- The Fourth Doctor and Leela,
 Doctor Who: "Image of the Fendahl"

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 "Image of the Fendahl", the third serial from Doctor Who Season 15, featuring Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor, Louise Jameson as Leela, Wanda Ventham as Thea Ransome, and Edward Arthur as Adam Colby!

In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like Jesse not doing his homework until the night before, Wanda Ventham being the mother of Benedict Cumberbatch, Denis Lil as Bob the Cartoonist in Batman (1989), writer Chris Boucher taking inspiration from the work of archaeologist Louise Leakey, why Leela wears her hair up in this serial, the introduction of Leela's new leather outfit, why K9 was written out of this serial, Wanda Ventham losing out to Shirley Eaton for the role of Jill Masterson in Goldfinger, there not being any explanation for how the Doctor escapes from the store room, Louise Jameson ad-libbing Leela's kiss to Adam Colby's cheek, the Fourth Doctor not finishing his sentences, the Doctor and Leela not feeling the cold, the Fourth Doctor's dynamic with Leela, the Doctor being the only one who can overcome the Fendahl's mental power, Fendelman and Stael wanting to cover up the murder of a hiker, wondering if Martha Tyler is related to Rose Tyler, Doctor Who providing a scientific explanation for the supernatural, the Fendahleen looking more than a little phallic, Sherlock's mom having it going on back in the day, our favorite quotes from the episode, my Reverse the Reverse the Polarity segment, new listener feedback from Sandi from Oregon, Holly Mac and Dave Proctor, Jesse wanting to join us for Three Days of the Condor on Drunk Cinema, the first Thirteenth Doctor audio drama from Big Finish Productions, and more!
