The Spectre of Lanyon Moor: Surprise Villains Galore!

We delve into Shadow of the Scourge, and discuss, among other things, why Paul Cornell is such a damn good writer, how much symbolism and theming in this there is, and also, Carrick quotes the release, a lot.

We discuss the main range's second pure historical and how it 'improves' on the characterization of Mel Bush as well as how similar (and different) this is from The Fires of Pompeii. Also, David can't pronounce a name. Fun!

We dive into the Dalek's second appearance in Big Finish alongside the first appearance of Romana, covering how much this connects to other Big Finish spin-offs, how to make Daleks effective, and wonder, what on earth even actually happened in this story and why should an audience care?

We delve into Winter for the Adept, how to pace a four parter, why Andrew Cartmel isn't comfortable with writing audio, and Carrick pretends to be a crazy scottish lady.

In this episode we talk about the return of the Brigadier, what 'traditional stories' even are, and the infestation of twist villains suffered by the Cornish countryside.

David and Carrick spend 25 minutes talking about everything except for the audio drama they're meant to be talking about because it turns out its really boring!

Carrick and David tackle the Daleks first appearance on audio and discuss whether they can be successful in the medium, the random appearance of a character who'll be a big deal in the Bernice Summerfield range, and why David doesn't like Daleks that much.

Carrick and David gush about Evelyn Smythe, how brilliant this is as a pure historical, its deft handling of the Sixth Doctor, and so much more (seriously GO LISTEN TO THIS)

David and Carrick talk about the first Seventh Doctor and Ace audio, exploring when humanizing fascists helps to fight them,  the failings of centrist shock jock radio, and how fucked up something written in 1999 is still creepily relevant in 2021.

Carrick and David continue there exploration of the Main Range as they discuss the incredibly uncomfortable race politics of Land of the Dead and learn why "DINOSAURS GO BOOM-BOOM!"
