PodKast with(out) the Bakers!
Season 2, Episode 84, Nov 17, 2012, 08:39 PM
A little later than usual, it's time for the podKast! This week, Christian, James McLean and Brian Terranova discuss the horror that is....
Pip and Jane Baker!
The husband-and-wife team had four sets of scripts on Doctor Who in the 1980s: Mark of the Rani, Terror of the Vervoids, The Ultimate Foe part 2 (both from the Trial of a Time Lord season) and Time and the Rani. Some of these adventures are considered okay... others the very nadir of the show's almost-fifty years.
But: were they really to blame? Is their reputation as a pair of clueless hacks deserved? Was it simply a case of two capable and experienced writers left to do too much... has their reputation as professionals been sullied by Time and the Rani?
It's a complex topic, one that we thought we should tackle!
Please note that during the recording of this episode we were... let's say "challenged"...by circumstances beyond our control. As a result this podKast comes with a warning as it includes adult language.
