Doctor Who: Dimensions In Time

Is it that time already? Who knows? Who knows what time even is? Certainly not the editing team of the Doctor Who 1993 Children In Need EastEnders crossover special, that's for sure. Not time, not flow and definitely not narrative coherence. But let's not jump ahead of ourselves...

Yes, to celebrate/commiserate/eviscerate the anniversary of Dimensions In Time and the November heralding of everyone's favourite cyclopic yellow bear, the hosts of The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour call round at the best possible place to hold such a symposium: Podcasting House, the hallowed halls of The ExtonMoss Experiment. Because the longest 17 minutes of your life calls for only the finest gin and only the harshest commentary.

What would a positive appraisal of this programme sound like? What would a decent realisation of this concept look like? And what does Squatter's Cocktail™ actually taste like..?

The Real Ghostbusters / In Loving Memory

It may be warm outside, but the ever-present, preternatural chill in the heart of The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour means that even the sunniest months are spent in gleeful contemplation of spooky televisual scheduling. And while Doctor Velvet and Blackout don't engage Full Pumpkin Mode™ just yet, they're still on the blower to a pair of organisations that can help potential patrons deftly dispose of the dead...

Grudgingly lifting the receiver through spent bubblegum and sarcasm is the very first episode of 1986 animated series The Real Ghostbusters, where the title's adjective is every bit as spurious as its proper noun. Next up it's morbid introspection of a far gentler pace, as Thora Hird and Christopher Beeny undertake to bring us all some antiquated laughs In Loving Memory.

Has there ever been a clearer case of buyer's remorse than DIC Enterprises winning the contract to adapt one of the most successful movies of all time to animation? Has there ever been a more bitter works-do than a pan-county gathering of rival organisations who all know how to quietly get rid of a body? And has there ever been a greater disparity of Pegs On The Line between the first and second halves of this podcast?

Figure out who you're gonna call and hit that button...
