It’s episode 18 of The Missing Episodes Podcast and it’s The Underwater Menace, in which we see “Dr. W” dabbling with the mythological in this astonishing aquatic adventure. The fifth story of season 4 sees the continuation of the development of Patrick Troughton’s Doctor and a proper introduction for Jamie. We also have Polly being turned into a fish (almost) and Ben wondering what the future holds, now there’s a strapping young(er) man on the team.
But it’s a story that’s often overlooked and almost forgotten, which leaves plenty of scope for insights anew from the assembled shoal of podcasters. Tim Burrows is joined by multimedia producer and DVD range stalwart John Kelly, co-creator of Dalek 63:88, 3D modeller and DWM contributor Gavin Rymill, Missing Episodes Podcast debutant, pianist extraordinaire and creator of “Dudley Simpson is Doctor Who”, Jess Jurkovic, but did they all have a whale of a time with this serial? We also check in with science and astronomy writer Giles Sparrow, to chew over whether the science in the sci-fi works, or does it drive him round the Bends?
Under the sea, under the sea, listener it’s better, down where it’s wetter, take it from me.
So let’s take a deep dive because there's definitely buried treasure, as we look at The Underwater Menace.
And look, I didn’t use that line!
