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.

It’s episode 11 of The Missing Episodes Podcast! It’s time to explore the realm of The Celestial Toymaker and to commemorate the only missing episode found on Australian soil, Paul and Tim are joined by two prominent Antipodean missing episode devotees: Josh Snares (Youtuber extraordinaire https://www.youtube.com/c/JoshSnares ) and colourist and Celestial Toymaker obsessive, Kieran Highman https://twitter.com/The66Ramblers

We say finally say farewell to the Wiles/Tosh era as once again the team try to get to the bottom of another complex Season 3 origins narrative. Then it’s on to the story itself as we explore the themes, characters and plot involved in this divisive tale that fan lore tells us is an undisputed classic.

Episode 4 was found in Australia in the 1980’s, but why was it there and what are the chances of any more of it being found?

So come and play some seemingly harmless games with us as we take a deep dive into The Celestial Toymaker.

It’s episode 13 of The Missing Episodes Podcast! For the first time proper, the TARDIS is back on contemporary Earth, indeed in contemporary London, and The Doctor and Dod... uhh... the Doctor and new, groovy companions Ben and Polly face down the mechanical menace in the Post Office Tower and The War Machines.

Master podcaster Steven Schapansky (@RadioFreeSkaro) and Doctor Who Historian Jon Preddle (https://broadwcast.org/) join to help analyse this most seminal of stories, as Season 3 draws to a close and Doctor Who marches on in a new format under Innes Lloyd and Gerry Davis.

Then it’s off on a world tour, as Jon talks us through the sales process, censorship in Australia and New Zealand and how and why four prints of The War Machines ended up in Nigeria, to be found by Ian Levine in the 1980’s. This is the deepest of deep dives and summarises years of Jon’s cutting-edge research. We also explore why, perhaps, The Wheel in Space wasn’t in Jos when Enemy and Web were recovered over ten years ago!

So leave your Dodo at home, put on your fab gear and join us as we take a look at The War Machines.
