promise.
Benji CliffordHOST
Following that, we'll be going behind the scenes with the latest Fifth Doctor adventures, dipping behind the scenes with Lair of the Voltaxa, written by Roland Moore and directed by Ken Bentley, with Peter Davison and Sarah Sutton battling an enemy that can manipulate electricity and metal.
Beth GoddardSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What? A perfect place for us to conquer.
Nick BriggsHOST
It'll be time for listeners' emails sent to podcast at bigfinish.com. More from our glorious digital mailbag.
Benji CliffordHOST
Also available this week, Star Cops Conflict and an episode entitled Adrift, with claims of a creature on the loose.
Georgia CookSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So unlike Doctor Who, and yet also still in that same genre.
Nick BriggsHOST
Then we round things off by offering you a free 15-minute drama tease of The Lair of the Voltaxa, featuring the fifth Doctor and Nyssa.
Peter DavisonVOICE_ACTOR
No, that should be enough.
Matt DennisGUEST
He's insane, yes.
Baz GreenlandHOST
He, um, Ben, yeah, Ben was wearing, what were you wearing? You, you were in your Fifth Doctor coat, and he was stroking your coat saying how much he loved it.
Ben GreenlandHOST
Yeah, he was like, "This is lovely."
Matt DennisGUEST
Aah.

Ben GreenlandHOST
It was discussed in the production team ages ago.
Ben GreenlandHOST
Like, even Tom Baker suggested once, or Trouton.
Ben GreenlandHOST
They were like, you know, "Why don't we do a female Doctor?" And JNT considered it for the Fifth Doctor, but yeah, first-
Matt DennisGUEST
Mm
Andrew BattyPANELIST
We're following that white, white rabbit all the way, all the way to Wonder-
Joe FordHOST
Look at Luke dancing 'cause it's a Fifth Doctor booklet.
Andrew BattyPANELIST
[laughs]
John ArnoldPANELIST
Yay.
Joe FordHOST
Kick her as well.
John ArnoldPANELIST
[laughs]
Joe FordHOST
Paul Mars, Alice in Wonderland, the Fifth Doctor, Tegan, Nyssa, and Turlough.
Joe FordHOST
Oh, boy, we're into some fun I think.
Fraser GregoryGUEST
Right.
Fraser GregoryGUEST
So number 10 is straight in with the fifth Doctor and straight in with me immediately alienating all the ham fam because I know this one's quite popular with everyone else.
Fraser GregoryGUEST
It's Planet of Fire.
Joe FordHOST
Oh, I mean, that's not too controversial.
44 MINS LATER
Fraser GregoryGUEST
It's Time Flight.
Fraser GregoryGUEST
Sorry, Time Shade.
Joe FordHOST
Oh, so we're going back to the Fifth Doctor again.
Joe FordHOST
Back to the Fifth Doctor, yes.
Rob ValentineGUEST
on Colin.
Rob ValentineGUEST
But ironically, the Fifth Doctor's outfit suits him really, really well, ironically.
Joe FordHOST
It's another reason why he's so terrific on audio, because I just imagine him in all manners of different costumes than the one he's wearing.
Rob ValentineGUEST
Yeah.
MarkHOST
It's so sad.
JoeHOST
Lanzarote, she's had a bit of time with the fifth Doctor.
JoeHOST
She's met Perry.
JoeHOST
Not met Perry, she's met Eremem.
7 MINS LATER
MarkHOST
I want to do it again.
MarkHOST
I just think that's the perfect genre, this sort of high stakes heist, to do this, to do that sort of tag teaming where they don't even know.
MarkHOST
Because at the beginning of episode two, Ace says to Hex, ooh, who was that strange blonde fella talking to the professor? So we know the fifth doctor and the seventh doctor, they've had a dialogue.
MarkHOST
And they're like, right, okay, I'll send Perry and Error Mem off there.
Mark DonaldsonGUEST
No.
Joe FordHOST
Or maybe Fifth Doctor, Peri, and Irameem.
Joe FordHOST
You'd like to jump in with them, wouldn't you?
Mark DonaldsonGUEST
No, I don't...
43 MINS LATER
Joe FordHOST
She was great
Mark DonaldsonGUEST
... a fan group in Canada in the, what, early, late, actually early '80s, I think they started.
Mark DonaldsonGUEST
I think it was, like, mid Fifth Doctor times.
Joe FordHOST
But she did five stories.
MarkHOST
This is completely different.
MarkHOST
This type of Fifth Doctor story, we have not had anything like, have we? Even in Big Finish, they haven't even gone anywhere
JoeHOST
near that with him.
JoeHOST
I just think they struck gold with Nicola Bryant and Caroline Morris though, right? And we've had a couple of dodgy scripts, Necromantia and what was that one with the agoraphobia? Freezer Crowd.
JoeHOST
But you think about it for a second, and you're like, oh, please.
JoeHOST
And the whole thing about the master, or the master's coming out.
JoeHOST
We're doing a fifth Doctor's Story, so of course the master
MarkHOST
might turn up at any point.
JimPANELIST
And I get it.
JimPANELIST
You know, you look at stories for the Fifth Doctor, the Sixth Doctor, the Seventh Doctor, back in the big Finnish golden days, that they weren't doing era-specific music for those releases.
JimPANELIST
However, because Sagan is so, like... involved in that era, it just pulled me out of it here in this kind of
JeffPANELIST
and
32 MINS LATER
DanHOST
and did nothing.
DanHOST
I was like, no, you've ruined Canaan and Company now.
MelvinPANELIST
I like the, I like the, the fifth Doctor episode was good.
MelvinPANELIST
The fifth Doctor episode was really good.
BenHOST
Braveheart.
BenHOST
Do you feel the nostalgia for The Fifth Doctor yet?
CamHOST
Yeah, it's the thing of just, like, it does have a warm blanket element to it.
CamHOST
There's a coziness to the Fifth Doctor era that some Doctor who has that and some don't.
CamHOST
And some of that era does have a coisiness aspect to it of just, like, it's comforting.
CamHOST
Like, something like Black Orchard on a Saturday morning, you just got up, you're a little bit groggy, you still have the sleepy eyes in your eyes.
