Doctor Who: Watchers in the Fourth Dimension
TV & Film:TV Reviews
It’s March 2020, and the Watchers in the Fourth Dimension have reached the end of Steven Taylor’s time as the Doctor’s companion. With COVID-19 running rampant across the world, and everyone (hopefully) practicing social distancing, we are here to help you stave off boredom for an hour, by bringing you a special bonus episode, in which Anthony interviews the man who played Steven himself, Peter Purves!
Their conversation meanders through Peter’s career in theatre and in TV, starting with his time in repertory theatre, to Doctor Who, and into presenting the likes of Blue Peter, Record Breakers, and the Crufts Dog Show, before finally coming back to Doctor Who through Big Finish’s audio productions. This convention panel-length interview is truly something to keep you entertained at home during this time.
As a thank you to Peter for his time, we made a $200 donation to Dogs for Good, a charity providing assistance dogs to those in need. If you would like to support this worthy cause, please follow the link and click on “Donate now.”
Peter’s time on Doctor Who can be found through the following media:
