First, the trio must play a series of perilous games to escape a crazy, mixed-up world ("The Celestial Toymaker"). Following that, they land in the American Old West and find themselves caught between the feuding Earps and Clantons ("The Gunfighters"). [ 42:07 || 19.3 MB ]

Listening now...very good again.

About the Toymaker - The Nightmare Fair, which was planned for the 6th Doctor has now been recorded by Big Finish and will be released later this year - http://www.bigfinish.com/101-Doctor-Who-The-Nightmare-Fair

he's also a character who's appeared in a lot of the spinoff media (in the New Adventures and the comic strips)...I think it would be fun to have him appear again.

I'm trying to remember if we've seen other people opperating the TARDIS...I'm pretty sure Romana did, and Tegan seems to operate it in Castrovalva, but at the end it's revealed she didn't really do it. Can't remember anyone else.

Have to say, I love the Gunfighters...it's interesting how fan opinion has changed over the years. Back in the late 70's and Early 80's, before videos, opinions on all these early stories were really formed by a few people writing reference books (Peter Haining, John Peel), and the fans writing for Doctor Who Magazine and the fanzines. And the opinion from all of these was that "Celestial Toymaker" was an absolute classic, and "The Gunfighters" was undoubtedly the worst Doctor Who story ever made. And now we can see/hear these stories, opinion has changed on both and Toymaker's reputation has plummeted, while Gunfighters is a lot more well regarded now.

Turlough seemed to know his way around it in 'The Five Doctors', but couldn't fly it.

I was wondering if you'd get the Alfred connection - you may not know that Gough(sp) was also one of the main protaganists in the first Christopher Lee 'Dracula' movie.

Great show, though. What's your spoiler policy with regards to rumours in future series? For example, since you did this, some casting things have been confirmed for the last episode, and on some levels, I'd hate to have them spoiled.

I don't see us spoiling such things.
