Dave Martin

This is, I think...

So I think Bob Baker and Dave Martin came up with an interesting concept and then the producer said to him, we've run out of money, we're going to have to gut your script.

And it disappeared down the plug hole, didn't it? It

doesn't fill the six episodes, does it? No.

The

target, well, not the target, but the first novel I was assuming, James Goss's Big Harbor, does a really good job of that recontextualization.

But it's essentially got the same problem as Bob Baker and Dave Martin tend to have.

It's trying to, it's putting something that's basically unproducible in scale onto the screen.

That's cool.

That would've been great if they, if they'd had time, if Bob Baker and Dave Martin had time to go back and fix the script, uh, to, you know, include Tom Baker's idea.

That, that could've been interesting.

Um-

[laughs]

...

Bob Baker and Dave Martin getting incredibly lazy and just typing Hades with the vowels reversed.

Yeah.

Amazing.

So you'll be seeing the end of the Key to Time season as it was originally envisioned by all parties involved, including Bob Baker and Dave Martin.

This will be exclusive to Doctor Who literature until the book comes out at the end of the year, but Rob did a reading of the Part 1 cliffhanger from his forthcoming Power of Chronovelization told from the point of view of

Crow.
