Rob ValentineGUEST
self, you know, so Joe is, you know, I mentioned before, you know, when Joe Grant first appears in season eight, I'm not a fan, because of the because of the way she's written.
Rob ValentineGUEST
But my god, Joe Grant, by this point in the series is, is, you know, is one of my favorite companions.

Rob ValentineGUEST
Until
Joe FordHOST
he finally, you know, wakes up and tells us...
Joe FordHOST
Oh, he's being looked after by Cher, though.
CamHOST

CamHOST

Rob ValentineGUEST
Welcome back to A Hamster with a Blunt Penknife, the Doctor Who commentary podcast.
Rob ValentineGUEST
I'm Rob Valentine, he's Joe Ford, and we are here to discuss episode four of Doctor Who and the Green Death.
Joe FordHOST
I thought we couldn't, uh, end an episode on a more horrific moment than, uh, the Doctor and Joe facing all those ghastly, what are they? Fruits of the mine, um, at the end of two.
Joe FordHOST

Charles SkaggsHOST
And this was directed by Lennie Mayne, who I have some trivia on.
Charles SkaggsHOST
And of course, stars Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor, and Katy Manning as Jo Grant, AKA Princess Josephine of TARDIS.
Charles SkaggsHOST
So Jesse, before I start breaking down guest cast and trivia, I'm guessing you have one or two early thoughts on The Curse of Peladon.
Jesse JacksonHOST
I did.
12 MINS LATER
Charles SkaggsHOST
... funny trivia.
Charles SkaggsHOST
All right, so three topics, our usual three.
Charles SkaggsHOST
Topic one, let's talk the Third Doctor and Jo Grant, uh, like I said, AKA Princess Josephine of TARDIS.
Charles SkaggsHOST
But let's also throw in, I think, King Peladon, because of that little romance that, or at least would-be romance, between Jo Grant and King Peladon.
