It’s episode 12 of The Missing Episodes Podcast! The Savages is not only missing from the archives, but also seemingly missing from fandom’s thoughts and affections. What makes it so intangible? What is it about and what did it look like? To explore these questions, Tim is joined once again by Gav Rymill (Dalek 63.88, Doctor Who Magazine, Doctor Who: The Collection) and Rhys Williams (Doctor Who Magazine and Doctor Who researcher.)

Ian Stuart-Black’s Doctor Who debut, brings with it a host of firsts as the show begins to reshape itself into the format that would sustain it until, well, now; from the first use of a quarry, to the first proper performance of someone else portraying the Doctor. We also say goodbye to Season 3 stalwart Steven Taylor and Dodo continues to enjoy her character’s resurgence, which began in The Gunfighters. So, thanks to the insights of Gav and Rhys, we find that there’s much to enjoy in this forgotten, cautionary tale of exploitation gone awry. There’s also an in-depth analysis of fur swimwear.

So prime your reacting vibrators, prepare to donate your ‘brain juice’ and join us as we explore the world of The Savages.
