I mean, Thomas, okay, when was the first time you found, you watched this program?
5:02
Yeah, it's been in my consciousness since I can remember.
5:07
So I have the vaguest memories of seeing, I think, Megloss, which is a fairly underwhelming story in the final fourth Doctor season.
5:15
It's not very good.
5:16
Look, I don't mind it, but it's the one where the cactus takes on Tom Baker's shape, which is quite fun.
5:21
Oh, yeah, of course, the one with the cactus.
5:23
Yeah, the one with the cactus.

You've got a little bit of Dudley Simpson here for us, I believe.

What the hell were you even doing in that trial? Help, help me wrap my head around that, because it's a question that I've had for now three years.
2:31
There's no easy answer for that, and that's something that's kept Sharon and me awake for a long time.
2:37
In fact, my fellow defendants at the table would be talking, the defense table, they, they would be talking to their attorneys and saying the same thing: "What's Caldwell doing here? He's not one of us." But what happened was, is that the FBI and the DOJ had targeted me.
2:55
They had a rush to judgment because I, I knew a couple of the Oath Keepers, so you could say it was guilt by association.
3:03
And the Department of Justice and the FBI put out statements through the press saying that I was the big cheese.
3:10
I was the top banana.
3:11
It was my orders that caused the insurrection at the Capitol, and they went so far as to say that I'm, in fact, the commander of the Oath Keepers.
