We’re back just and in time to see off the First Doctor. Yes, it’s episode 15 of The Missing Episodes Podcast! The second story of season 4 sees not only the end of the wonderful Hartnell era, but the introduction of a foe that will be back for decades to come: The Cybermen.
Kit Pedler and Gerry Davis get their first co-writing credit and riff on a truly terrifying theme: what happens if you replace increasing amounts of a person with spare parts? What becomes of their soul?
Tim is joined by content creator and camera-script investigator, David Gillespie-Pratt, and we have a very welcome return for vintage TV expert and curator of “From the Archive”, Greg Bakun.
Thankfully the team are less care-free than the Cybermen and have greater detective skills that the world’s scientists (which isn’t difficult in this one) as they delve into the story’s successes and failures. Then it’s off on the usual world tour, as we look at what happened to the film prints of The Tenth Planet and what the chances are of ever seeing some more of it!
So put on your best snow cap, keep Geneva on hold and join us as we take a very deep dive into The Tenth Planet.
