Timelash

Yeah.

So, for example, just to give away a bit of the rest of my news, Timelash isn't on here because I weirdly have fond memories of watching that.

How can

anyone be bored by Timelash?

It's got a bright answer to Android,

isn't it? It's not boring.

This SD card's going to run out in a minute and 20 seconds, so I'm going to do this fast, okay? So, Connor, you gave Attack of the...

Sorry, I gave Attack of the Sidemen a 6, Vengeance of Varus a 4, Mark of the Rounding a 5.5, The Two Doctors a 6, and Timelash a 3, and Revolution of the Daleks a 7, with a final series score of 5.25. Connor, you gave Attack of the Sidemen a 5, Vengeance of Varus a 3.5, Mark of the Rounding a 5, The Two Doctors a 5, Timelash a 6.5, Revolution of the Daleks a 7, with a final series score of 5.5. So...

Season 22 is just worse than season 23 for both of us.

So my average rating, so my season 22 was 5.25.

He's so renowned in a slightly, you know, sneering way as a bit of a ham, and I think sometimes he very consciously does lean into that.

You know, dear God, look at Timelash.

He's, he's having a whale of a time, but he's, he's not being subtle.

Um, this is just such a good example of the, the kind of best qualities of Avon, is that he can just have these enormous, complex emotional journeys go on, and he's barely doing anything.

A genuine, like ...

That was the thing that got me at the end because it was b- gonna be between this and Timelash was what was gonna be put in here.

Oh, but Timelash is fun.

But t- yeah, that's the thing.

J- I don't feel a bit sort of icky when watching Timelash, apart from the, the, well, apart from the whole bloody premise of the story and how he resolves it as well by just being like, "You're an ugly cunt, I'm throwing you down the Timelash." Um, but this also has that level of nastiness about the resolution of the plot as well, as well as nastiness throughout it about how the Doctor is trying to form, um, as well, so, no, it has to be here.

It's, it's the Timela- it's, oh, it's the same, [laughs] it's, it's the Twin- threefold Twin Dilemma into the Timelash.

Uh, into ...

I mean, the Timelash has got Darrow in it as well, hasn't it, having great fun.

And that's how they're gonna represent...

It's gonna be like Timelash again, you know? It's gonna be like, kind of beige." Um, that's what I was expecting.

We can only hope, Paul, it's gonna be like Timelash.

[laughs]

[laughs] That's what I was expecting and, and I was pleasantly surprised, and I think that's always been my impression of this, this story, is the fact that I, I'm always pleasantly surprised with it.

It was possibly the first ever thing shot for Doctor Who on September 19th, 1963.

But that's all the time we have for today on the Timelash.

Just because.

uh we promised a shorter episode and we almost fulfilled that promise we if we had a quota to get to an hour we hit it uh but basically

We haven't done Genesis of the Daleks yet at some poi- uh, we began the podcast five years and we still haven't got to Genesis yet, so.

No, I mean, we started with Timelash, so we've, we've digressed big time.

[laughs]

We did start with Timelash.

So that's the level we went in at.

Actually, my favorite story is Timelash, [laughs] so it's ...

I can't say that with a straight face.

No, no.

She looks beautiful in that.

She wears that in Timelash as well, though.

Yeah.

And I, I mean, I really like, you know when Colin puts on the-
