Ah, the Doctor Who reference that is, and yet isn’t, and yet is. That’s Douglas Adams (script editor for Doctor Who in 1979 and writer of HHGG) for you. In the first episode of his radio series of HHGG, Adams refers to a trilogy of books by Oolon Caloophid (Where God Went Wrong, Some More of Gods Greatest Mistakes and Who is this God Person Anyway?). He then dropped a nod to Caloophid into Destiny of the Daleks, where the Doctor is seen reading one of his texts, giving the fictional writer his first on-screen appearance. His second on-screen appearance was then in this, the first episode of the TV version of HHGG. |

After several clips from Castrovalva, Peter Davison appears in studio to answer fan questions sent in by mail: Did he watch Doctor Who when he was a child? (He did, but never dreamed he’d be the Doctor); Why is Doctor Who so successful? (He has no idea, but regeneration probably has something to do with it); How he’s approached the role (without much guidance); He then offers up some competitions prizes – various bits of merchandise tat – and goes on to discuss his prior and current acting career, the Master and his views of science fiction. Later, he takes phone calls from fans and tells us which series he’s most enjoyed working on (All Creatures Great and Small), the most difficult animal he’s had to work with (pigs), what job he’d do if he wasn’t an actor (write songs) and what part he has on his cock in Doctor Who (celery – although the child in question has a strong accent and it’s hard to tell what he’s asking). Much later on, there are more phone calls as Peter tells us if he used to find Doctor Who scary (he did, but he enjoyed it), if he reads science fiction (he does, and he watches it on TV), how he chose his wardrobe for Doctor Who (with lots of consideration) and what his real name is (he doesn’t reveal it). Last of all, another clip from Castrovalva. Four clips. This featured on the Castrovalva DVD. |

After a long clip from Arc of Infinity (some two months before broadcast), Peter Davison chats to John Craven about encouraging children to read. He admits his favourite book is Fungus the Bogeyman. Aw. Even though Davison tries desperately to plug Doctor Who, Craven has no Target novelisations handy – he does, unfortunately have Peter Davison’s Book of Alien Monsters. Later he plays a game of cricket against Mike Read and John Craven then announces the winners of recent competitions. He then takes phone calls from Philip Halpin who asks about adapting from Tristan to the Doctor, Mark Potter who asks what Davison wanted to be when he was a child (he wanted to drive a lorry), Mark Craigie who asks if he ever argues with his colleagues (they have "discussions), Ian Storey who asks about embarrassing moments on TV, Tara Kates who wonders if Davison ever watched Doctor Who as a child (he claims to be a fan), Gary Holland who wants to know what the hardest programme he’s ever made is (it’s Doctor Who, surprisingly) and Mathew Tateman who asks if people recognise him.

Later on in the show he offers more thoughts on the day’s news, and hopes that his producers won’t follow George Lucas’ method of keeping secrets: by making his lead, Mark Hamill, learn a whole fake script before giving him the real one later.

A panto-eseque sketch from Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker, based on the story of Ali Baba and featuring a ridiculous amount of CSO.. Archie Baba (Corbett) makes a wish to be "a thousand miles away" which comes true, as he is whisked through time and space to old Baghdad. He makes his living as a cobbler, but is throw in prison after a misunderstanding. A makes the same wish again, and ends up on a desert island. Here he meets the genie of the lamp, that has been granting his wishes (Barker), but the genie cannot take him home. After settling on the island, the TARDIS arrives, with the third Doctor (Barker again, in Worzel Gummidge mode) piloting it. Gummidge/Doctor wanders off, leaving Archie to steal the TARDIS and get home. |

5’51” Janet Street-Porter, early in career, provides a "news" report on some crazy Doctor Who fans joining together for a convention in Australia. Street-Porter describes her foes as "a complete bunch of nutters" and goes on to pick the worst representatives to explain their passion. One lady can’t remember any of the villains names, but loves it anyway. One of Australia’s most famous faces (we didn’t recognise her) talks about the "maaaaan with green sloooiiiiiime all over him" and almost outdoes Street-Porter for pure evilness. Colin Baker has recently been cast, and John Nathan-Turner is on hand to reassure us that it’s not for his sex appeal. Erm. Don’t watch this, buy this instead. |

John Nathan-Turner appears in the studio to discuss the threats he’d made lately to get rid of the classic TARDIS design. The morning opens with a clip advertising his appearance and a little later he sifts through some of the viewer mail, discussing his reasoning. Later he takes viewer calls on why the TARDIS design was picked (he bluffs the answer a little), where the name TARDIS comes from, his favourite story (The Keeper of Traken, but he promises The Twin Dilemma will be very good indeed) and his Hawaiian shirt. Later he joins in the Pop Panel and offers his thoughts on the music videos for Bourgie Bourgie: Breaking Point, Alan Parson Project: Don’t Answer Me and Vitamin Z: Burning Flame and later still a Marshman mask is dropped off which Nathan-Turner had neglected to leave behind earlier. Finally, as part of a gallery of viewer pictures, an illustration of Nicola Bryant. Eight clips. |

A clip from The Twin Dilemma in show 1889 introduces Colin Baker to his first Blue Peter interview, with Janet Ellis. He discusses the resistance to change between Doctors, the fact that he’s been watching the series since the very start, asking his agent to put him forwards as Tom Baker’s replacement, his outfit and cat badge, his Time Lord powers (he dematerialises the Blue Peter cat), his desire for the Master to return, introduces the Gastropods and then shows two further clips from The Twin Dilemma. |

11’54” On Feb 11th-12th 1984, fans converged in Philadelphia, and New Jersey Network reported, later to be broadcast in three short weekly reports. As usual, the craziest looking fans are shown in their finest costumes and discuss what they love most about the show… Making us all feel a lot more confident in our own fannishness. Tom Baker appears onstage and rambles a little about why he was first cast, and then begs us for money on behalf of NJN from his hotel room later. Back on stage in the second part he talks about why he left the show and repeats the same story about his casting, then shares his very vague memories of The Ark in Space and The Brain of Morbius and his feelings about how extravagant American fans are. After the second part, Tom Baker makes another plea from his hotel room. Footage from this con later appeared as part of Who’s Who and The Home Whovian. |

A clip of The Caves of Androzani is used to advertise Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant appearing in-studio later. Baker and Bryant talk about settling into their new roles, the input they get to have into the stories and costumes and gives John Nathan-Turner credit for his costuming choice. Mike Read introduces a clip from The Caves of Androzani then invites viewers to phone in with questions. Later, the viewers call in. Rod Leach asks him about his favourite Doctor (all of them), Nicola Bryant asks when Nicola Bryant wanted to become an actress (yes really), The Master rings in to threaten the Doctor (slow day was it, Anthony?), Jonathan Taylor asks if Colin is likely to be grumpy like Patrick Troughton (perhaps a little), Fleur Johnson asks about his costume, Mike Read asks Bryant about hers and Aidan Bowe asks if anything’s gone wrong during filming (hundreds of things). Finally, they present prizes – books, T-shirts, a frisbee, a record, a video, a poster, a computer game and a pencil case. Bryant stays near-silent throughout, but affects a strange Australian accent when forced to speak. Three clips. Portions of this appeared on the Mark of the Rani DVD. |

Russell Harty’s short-lived BBC1 celebrity chatshow beats The Two Doctors by a good year or so by interviewing… two Doctors. Davison’s poshness, how to approach the character of the Doctor, the TARDIS design, American fans (they love the quaintness), conventions and Kennedy’s assassination (Colin perpetuates the rumour that it happened on the same date as the 100,000BC broadcast, which had to be postponed as a result) come under discussion, before a bescarfed fan assures us how normal he is and a lady in a Victorian swimming suit gets all flustered. Bless her. |

0’30", 4:3 In order to win a hi-tech ghetto blaster, viewers must spot the connections between a number of people – in one case Sandra Dickinson and Peter Davison are the couple, and they are married. A DW publicity photo is shown. One of the other questions dates the show conclusively to 1984. The phrase "nods of approval on my left" (and what sounds like a giggle from Davison) while the answers are being given suggest that either Dickinson or Davison are in studio. This year Dickinson appeared on 6th April and 15th June by herself and with her husband on 14th November. 14/11/84 is therefore most likely but inconclusive. |
