This time, we examine Sylvester McCoy’s ‘The Chase’, ably assisted by our special guest star: writer Jon Blum, of New Adventures and BBC Books fame! In the process, we learn about Doctor Who as sitcom, Terry Nation’s thought processes, how to cast Larry Hagman and whether Ace attended Coal Hill School. We also get to meet Dalek Putey, and come down hard on the whole Marie/Mary debate. Most critically, just how much of ‘The Chase’ can we cut? All of it? Let’s find out!
