Bonus Episode 29: The Canadian Alien (Doctor Who and the Pescatons)

In our latest bonus episode, the Watchers crew commit the ultimate act of masochism in discussing Doctor Who and the Pescatons, the legendary audio adventure recorded the day after Elisabeth Sladen’s departure from the show was announced to the press and released in between Seasons 13 and 14. 

 

Join us as we discuss this interesting little oddity from Doctor Who’s history, featuring both Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen at the height of their powers in 1976. Listen in as Julie corrects Anthony about woodwinds, Reilly praises the ghost story vibes of the serial, and Anthony stereotypes the entire population of Canada.
