And so we get a new influx of characters who each represent an aspect of bullying mining conglomerate IMC. There are plenty of actor facts to detract us from the story which is a shame as Colony in Space has plenty going for it. But we manage to cover it, with guest Simon Curtis being upfront about wanting your host to actually win this one. But as the Colonists demonstrate, all you need is an enemy within in order to muck it up for you without your opponent having to do much at all...

This commentary was recorded before the death of the actor Tony Caunter.

This is an old episode of Happy Times and Places with a new introduction (and maybe some post credits secret joy) which might, hopefully, help to pass the time between now and the newly recovered episodes appearing on iPlayer. I hope they whet the appetite. But to emphasise - the main body of this is a repeat, pure and simple, from the time that the late Ian K McLachlan chose his favorite things about The (then lost) Nightmare Begins. So there will be all sorts of speculation herein that, no doubt, turns out to be utter nonsense. So enjoy - an episode from the past resurfacing to help to celebrate the resurfacing of an episode from the past

An illustrious occasion - Jon Pertwee's first journey into outer space. So break out the ... beige. And the dungarees. And the moustaches. So many moustaches. TV producer Simon Curtis has chosen this story so what will a genuine industry professional be able to tell us about what makes this un-celebrated serial worth a look. It's always been considered to be closer to the Pertwee era slagheap than its mountaintop, but we're going to see if we can make the flowers grow on this apparently barren landsacpe.

Another ombnius in case you have a long journey or tedious household task or, I dunno, marathon that you're doing. If you dont like it though, just shout "this isn't real" and it'll turn into a cardboad cuthout. Illustrious fan of yore David J Howe takes us through the highpoints of this, a favourite story of his, as we get to grips with the facts (well, opinions) of fiction.

The bride in question is on holiday so there's something rather filmic about her in the episode that is named after her. There's cocoa, connivance and cunning aplenty as our heroes find themselves lost in history and desperate to find a way out. And there's time to consider a couple of guest stars, one of whom will return to the show whilst the other vanished rather, but whose travels took him far and wide and whose history involved the changing of not just one line or two, but also his name.

John Halstead, voice of the Monoids (specifically the especially thick Monoid 2 and the rebellious Monoid 3) in The Ark has never been interviewed about his time on Doctor Who. He's not even done any conventions (but he has done one signing). John likes the "f" word and uses it liberally and it has been left intact herein. So be warned. This is a colourful one. And it has never been heard before. Worth the wait though - honestly, this one is GREAT fun! John should have his own show.

And so we get to the final showdown on Refusis but there are still plenty of questions to be ansered. Will the humans find the bomb? Can inter-species co-operation be fistered by a fruity-voiced alien? And where to the Monoids put their food when they are eating? Fortunately D Mark Aldridge is on hadn to provide some insight, but with your host 2-1 up going into the final furlong, can he stay the victorious course or will he snatch defeat from the mouth of victory. If victory has a mouth. Unlike the Monoids.

An unusual move for the Hartnell era, but business usual in Podcastville. The crew have moved forward in time but not space - so has everything changed beyond recognition, or will there still be enough good here that guest Mark Aldridge will be able to choose a popular Favourite Thing? And if he does, will he keep it a secret or accidentally give away his big plan?
