#182 - Identifying With Daleks

The Metebelis Two - a Doctor Who podcast

In this wide-ranging Dalek-focused episode, we begin our discussion with a look at the 5-part Daleks! serial written by James Goss that is part of the Time Lord Victorious Doctor Who adventure, which is made clearer by referencing Blogtor Who's guide. We then chat about the multi-platform concept itself and what it may hold for the future of Who. A future, it would seem, that has a Doctor Who Magazine without a monthly comic serial and, perhaps, a bit searching for a new identity in these pandemic times. Ben reflects upon the TV Century 21 Daleks comic, which Goss's new story reminded him of and mentions the fan-created Second Empire Dalek comic. David brings up Pink For Your Actual Pterodactyl website's exhausivly detailed look at the History of the Pebble Mill Foyer and Ben expresses his appreciation of the site's examination of chairs in Doctor Who. Opening music is excerpted from Daleks! sound design by Steve Foxon. Closing music is "I Am A Dalek", the 1977 7" single by The Art Attacks. We recorded this episode on 9 March 2021.
