'The ExtonMoss Experiment Episode 9'
Episode 9 of 'The ExtonMoss Experiment' podcast (the name deriving partially from the hosts' surnames, along with a healthy nod to Nigel Kneale) is themed around 'Doctor Who' - The Birthday Episodes.
Aided by a certain quantity of gin, Simon and Ken here provide commentaries for the 'Doctor Who' episodes shown nearest to their entry into the world. So we take a brisk jog through 'The Krotons'* Episode Three followed by 'The Invasion Of Time' Part Two and a jolly time is had by all.
Given that I first met Simon in the world of chemistry, it's always amusing when these podcasts feature shows with some bubbling flasks, even if you keep expecting Dr Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker to make a cameo appearance in the lab on the world of the Gonds.
And you even get a bonus track in the form of the second part of a 2006 interview with Colin Baker (part one of this is on the Christmas-themed Episode 8, logically enough).
Simon and Ken both know their stuff, so listening to them is always a pleasure and I fully applaud their desire to extend their subject matter to much more than just 'Doctor Who'.
And if you've never heard them before, either start here or look out (listen out?) for their guest slot on 'Round The Archives' Episode 31, which should be coming fairly soon..
Episode 9 of 'The ExtonMoss Experiment' can be heard here.

* Punctuation pedants might argue that it should really be '"The Krotons"' as it does that weird Season Six thing of using quotation marks in the opening titles, but that's pushing it by even our pedantic standards!
You'll never guess where I got my bubbling flasks / laboratory sound effects from - as heard in many 2018 and 2019 episodes of The Shy Life Podcast. I won't reveal it here but will happily tell you "off the air!"
