Pod-Stallions Episode one: Growing up Who

[Mego Milk]

Good Pod, sir.

[Bruce Banner]

Great podcast.

Yeah, I used to watch those hosting segments with Judith Merril on TVO, and as a kid I thought she seemed very negative about the show and the character.

My local bookstore stocked a few of the Target novelizations (they sold a lot of British books which had the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand RRPs on the back covers), and my local library actually had a big selection of them.

I remember my school in Ontario screened some episodes of "The Phoenix and the Carpet" in class.
And also the full series of "The Doombolt Chase".
I suggested they screen some episodes of Doctor Who, but they weren't interested.

Great podcast guys.
Doctor Who was a show I distinctly remember watching laying at my dad's feet on Sunday afternoons in either the very late 70's or very early 80's. I remember it being really creepy, so I was glad to hear I wasn't the only one (In fact the day after listening to the podcast my wife brought home an Entertainment Weekly with an article with Peter Jackson where he talks about watching doctor who hiding behind the couch). I've never seen an episode that wasnt a Tom Baker episode so I cant really comment on too much. Pretty sure netflix has the series from the beginning, so hopefully I can catch it all at some point.

Are you guys still going to be doing a Mego Museum Podcast?

Yeah, it's on break but certainly not dead.

I also enjoy any discussion of pre-internet collecting. I think many of us had some a cool store (or 2) we hit prior to the internet or Ebay.

You're going to love episode 2.

As far as cool stores go, Brian mentioned it on the podcast, and yeah, the Silver Snail was a definite mecca for me every time I was in Toronto. The first time I visited the store back when I was a teenager, I almost lost my mind.

Awesome podcast!

Yes!!! You guys finally did it. This was a powerhouse of podcasting. It was nearly 2 hours and I still wanted MORE! When LENZI said: "It's time to wrap it up." I thought "NO! You can't go!" Thank you for taking the time to put this together. The Kickstarter Dalek idea is a must.

Could you imagine recording a podcast with you 2 in the same room? The internet wouldn't be big enough to hold it. Record soon. Maybe at some point you can tackle the Lone Ranger Gabriel line?

I enjoyed the podcast. I think you guys really touched on some key points on the Dr. Who series and concept. Sadly I share Jason's problem with No exposure to Who Merchandise. So I got kinda left behind when certain items were mentioned. Its too bad some visual reference can't be added Like a power point presentation.

sadly no netflix has many episodes available on dvd and stream but it is based on the age of the dvd release and bbc released them all out of order based on a variety of factors (most important for them being how expensive it was to get the episode to dvd quality from the video or film archive copies), and most of the 3-5 seasons are lost due to them being erased/destroyed in the era before home viewing was even a thought to anyone (mid 70's). Very few complete 2nd doctor stories exist and almost the entire 2nd half of the first doctors run are lost.
the 3rd doctor is the first where every story exists in the archives (but for several episodes the only copies are black and white film prints) an ongoing effort has been done to recolor these with mixed results. Tom Baker's era is the first that exists in it's entirety as broadcast but niether of them has had every story released on dvd yet (but all were released on video)

if you want to watch them in broadcast order the BBC site has the order http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/

back then there wasn't much at all espcially in north america, Books mostly, doctor who weekly/magazine, the small selection of denys fisher dolls and Marx daleks you would only have found in europe.

This was brilliant and I was definitely like both of you thanks for the memories
Creation Conventions at The adams Mark hotel was probably it and I may have been at some of the same shows
