The Brandon Peters ShowClosing With A Song “Doctor In Distress” by Who Cares? with Rachel Frend
This is one of the more odd and obscure things covered here in our music video segments. And this comes in between Season 22 and Season 23 of Doctor Who (Before Trial of a Time Lord), but felt the best way to cap off Colin Baker as well as coincidentally landing on April 1st.
“Doctor In Distress” is a “We Are The World” attempt at bringing Doctor Who back after its cancellation during Season 22. However, its quite embarrassing and one of the absolute silliest, headscratchiest things ever produced in the show’s run. Oddly enough, it recently came back into publi...

Rachel and I are both quite fond of this two part story, but the road to get to it and the behind the scenes turmoil is just as exciting and just as amusing to discuss.
The Ultimate Foe wasn’t what it was supposed to be and its debatable if it wouldn’t have been better than what we had. There are a lot of big Who ideas that come in here and never are revisited (Or are they?).
From my standpoint, this fits in my abstract, wild, mindf*** type Who tale that I love to s...

Bonnie Langford makes her debut as Mel Bush in the Pip & Jane Baker Agatha Christie homage “Terror of the Vervoids”. It also sees Bond and Avengers icon Honor Blackman grace the time and space of Doctor Who.
With production changes, turmoil and all sorts of things going on behind the scenes, companion Mel really got a really weird end of the deal in her entrance and how her tenure played out. She makes her start here in an overstuff mystery with a questionable looking monster that may remind you of some genitalia. Though, Pip & Jane Baker’s words...

The Trial continues! This time the Valeyard presents a story including Rachel’s favorite – Sil! Yes, send her gifs, memes, photos, clips…she LOVES them! And and Old Space Show favorite guests in this episode, shouting to the balcony, its BRIAN BLESSED!
“Mindwarp” features some very cool video effects as well brings an interesting debate on the Doctor’s mental state and intentions in the serial. Sadly, it also is the farewell of one of my favorite companions, the loveable and lovely Peri Brown. Rachel tells me to get over it, but I have my sob sob time in seei...
2022-03-2933 minThe Brandon Peters ShowOld Space Show – Doctor Who: “The Trial of a Time Lord” Parts 1-4 (The Mysterious Planet) with Rachel Frend
There are some technicalities abound, but there are some who consider Doctor Who’s 23rd season, “The Trial of a Time Lord”, one long running serial of 14 parts. It’s easily debatable as there are clearly 3 separate serials that stand on their own with a wrap-around. But, to appease both parties of ideals, we are going to do it in one shot this week, but in 4 separate segments.
Our first piece of evidence presented is “The Mysterious Planet” which comes from legendary Doctor Who scribe Robert Holmes. This one features a revamp of the show after feedback on the previ...

The Batman means it’s time for another Batman commentary on Out Now. And this is a big one as we complete a 10 year journey of doing commentaries for all of the 1990s live action films with Batman & Robin. And let me tell you, we’ve been trying to do Batman and Robin for quite some time here. While, yes, the film is nobody’s favorite, this is a very nutritional conversation on it. Focusing on the merits, what truly about it doesn’t work, what could have been and some of the comic geek relating things it does well and...
2022-03-222h 16The Brandon Peters ShowClosing With A Song “I Can’t Take It” by Cheap Trick with Mike Vanderbilt
Mike Vanderbilt is the world’s living expert on Cheap Trick. Knowing this, it was an easy selection for the band for the music video. However, many of the “notable” songs didn’t have much going on in the videos. So I went with “I Can’t Take It”, which is pretty darn good tune on its own, but its got a pretty cool, nice and meaty video to chew on.
Of course, I sit back a lot of this and enjoy Mike’s dive into the history of Cheap Trick at this time, with the album, the song and mor...

The Brandon Peters ShowOld Space Show: Doctor Who “Revelation Of The Daleks”
I feel like this series just started, but here we are at the finale of Doctor Who: The Colin Baker Era, Year One. Revelation of the Daleks is one of Colin’s most popular stories and it’s not hard to see why. A bit more dark, violent and adult as well as one of the best directed serials in his entire run, the classic villains The Daleks make quite a stamp here and evil Davros is in tow.

The Brandon Peters ShowOld Space Show: Doctor Who “Timelash”
Welp, we had to get here at some point. Timelash is largely considered, voted and judged as being one of the all time worst stories in the entire history of Doctor Who. And…well…we can’t argue much with that. But we sure can take a look at what went wrong, some interesting tid bits it does have and overall just marvel at the missteps of one of the big follies of the Colin Baker era.

The Brandon Peters ShowOld Space Show: Doctor Who “The Two Doctors”
From a mult-evil Time Lord story to a multi-Doctor story, The Two Doctors is LOADED. We have multiple Doctors, multiple companions, Sontarans, time travel science, cannibals, Jacqueline Pearce and so much more. It’s a 3-part story as well, shot on location in Spain. So much to talk about, this one runs longer than usual. And Whovian geeks will love a lot of speculation and digs at our own fandom during this one!

This week we are introduced to another diabolical time lord, The Rani! A character meant to be the next big thing, but unfortunately wasn’t used as much as expected. This marks Colin Baker’s Sixth Doctor’s first historical and sees his first crossing of paths with The Master. Pip and Jane Baker make their debut as writers.

This week, we meet the aquatic, sluggish nemesis of the Sixth Doctor, SIL. Vengeance on Varos is a pretty grim tale, but one that has had a bit of re-appraisal in the past decade. Going into this series, it marks Brandon’s personal favorite serial featuring Colin Baker as The Doctor.

The Brandon Peters ShowOld Space Show: Doctor Who “Attack Of The Cybermen”
From week 1 to week 2 of The Colin Baker Era, Year One, we jump seasons as we now begin Season 22. Doctor Who changed its format to 2-part 45 minute serials instead of the traditional 4-part 24 minute structure. Showrunner John Nathan Turner also opted for a darker tone as well. “Attack of the Cybermen” kicks off with a story deeply implanted with Doctor Who knowledge & lore that wasn’t easily known or accessible at the time.

The Brandon Peters ShowOld Space Show: Doctor Who “The Twin Dilemma”
Welcome to a brand new adventure on Old Space Show! Who begins a Doctor Who podcast with “The Twin Dilemma”? Apparently, that’s me! Colin Baker’s debut as the sixth iteration of The Doctor is notorious for its reputation being one of the worst stories in the show’s history. Continually voted as #1 in the wrong direction for many years, what does it potentially offer on the side of positive?
My new companion and I take a look and have some laughs regarding the derided serial. And since we are jumping into the middle of an almost 60...
