Episode 13: A Dalek Blast From The Past




This episode finds Matthew Kresal and Mary Lang delving into two interesting artifacts from 1960s Dalekmania Big Finish have produced: the adaptation of The Curse Of The Daleks as part of the Doctor Who - The Stage Plays Range and the intended pilot episode for a Dalek spin-off series called The Destoryers, released in the Second Doctor Lost Stories Box-Set. Topics discussed include how they relate back to the TV series, things that potentially date them to the 1960s, Sarah Kingdom and why The Destroyers might not have been made.

Episode 11: Dark Eyes Returns
