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..?

Eagle (1982)


It's Saturday morning once again, and what would the weekend even be without a trip to the paper shop, a plain paper bag full of unbranded sweets that have all been individually handled by the friendly newsagent, and a comic - nay magazine, surely? - to get stuck into before World Of Sport comes on?

This week, beguiled by colourful illustrations of fearsome aliens and a cover-mounted Free Gift, the hosts of The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour have been have parted with twenty pence to partake in the first issue of the relaunched Eagle comic from 1982. Aimed at boisterously opinionated boys who love sci-fi, horror and crime-fighting intrigue (and who have a penchant for collecting tat), this feels like it was created in a secret government lab to appeal to Doctor Velvet and Blackout...

Will the mysterious man who embodied Sgt Streetwise ever be found? Will the post-apocalyptic survivors of London Town ever find a leader who actually understands the tube network? And will somebody please help Mike Read..?
