In this story, the neo-Nazi De Flores (Anton Diffring), the 17th-century sorceress Lady Peinforte (Fiona Walker), and the Cyberman vie for control of the Nemesis, a statue containing a living metal which crash-landed near Windsor Castle in 1988.

S2E3 The Creature From the Birthday Pit

It's my birthday week!!!

I thought it might be an interesting show to find a story of Doctor Who Classic that had any episodes being originally broadcasted on November 3rd.

Turns out there's ONLY ONE! Season 17's classic story, "The Creature From The Pit"!

Season 17 turned out to be a special season for quite a few reasons:
- 17 was Graeme William’s last year as Producer
- 17 was also Douglas Adam’s last year as script editor
- 17 was the final season of incidental music by Dudley Simpson
- 17 was the final season of Tom Baker’s amazing tunnel intro sequence
- 17 was the first season of Lalla Ward playing Romana II
- 17 had David Brierly voicing K9 instead of John Leeson

The Creature From The Pit also had a few "milestones":
- The first produced story featuring Lalla Ward as Romana II (though not the first story broadcast)
- The last story directed by Christopher Barry who had directed various Doctor Who stories as far back as William Hartnell's era

I am flying solo in this episode of the podcast, as Collin is busy moving residences and saving his company from certain disaster.
