NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 382: "Invasion of the Dinosaurs" Is Up!

 
"The man was mad."
"Yes, well, of course he was mad. But at least he realized the dangers this planet of yours is in, Brigadier. The danger of it becoming one vast garbage dump inhabited only by rats."
"It’ll never happen, Doctor."
"It’s not the oil and the filth and the poisonous chemicals that are the real cause of pollution, Brigadier. It’s simply greed."
-- Brigadier Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart and the Third Doctor, Doctor Who: "Invasion of the Dinosaurs"

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, the Sarahthon continues as we discuss "Invasion of the Dinosaurs", the second serial from Doctor Who Season 13 in 1974, featuring Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor, Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith, Nicholas Courtney as the Brigadier, and Richard Franklin as Captain Mike Yates!

In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like Jesse's trip to Tucson, "Invasion of the Dinosaurs" having a "woke" agenda, Peter Miles as Nyder in "Genesis of the Daleks", John Bennett as Li H'Sen Chang in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang", the Radio Times spoiling the dinosaurs for Part One, how you can watch a colorized version of Part One, the debut of the Whomobile, the original outline featuring aliens that had invaded, the bad decision to outsource the creation of the dinosaur puppets, Elisabeth Sladen creating a problem by getting her hair cut, wishing we could get a modern Doctor for five years, Jesse's class where he got to discuss the Prime Directive from Star Trek: The Next Generation, the Third Doctor and Sarah Jane bonding more, Sarah Jane having to rely on her own resourcefulness to get away from the fake spaceship, wondering why Sarah Jane wasn't skeptical about Earth suddenly having the technology to take 200 people into space beyond the moon, the Captain Action figure, pollution being a big deal in the 1970s, the surprising betrayal by Mike Yates, Sgt. Benton being the comedic one compared to the Brigadier's straight man, the Brigadier's difficulty in dealing with General Finch, the Operation Golden Age conspiracy, the dinosaurs being a secondary threat to the conspiracy, Jesse's reaction to the dodgy dinosaur puppets, most of the dinosaurs being herbivores, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Reverse the Polarity segment, new listener feedback from Holly Mac, Dave Proctor and Sandi from Oregon, some news on my story for DC Comics' upcoming Christmas anthology DC's Naughty List, "Death to the Daleks" kind of being like Doctor Who and the Temple of Doom, and more!
