For the first time proper, the TARDIS is back on contemporary Earth, indeed in contemporary London, and The Doctor and Dod… uhh… the Doctor and new, groovy companions Ben and Polly face down the mechanical menace in the Post Office Tower and The War Machines. Master podcaster Steven Schapansky (@RadioFreeSkaro) and Doctor Who Historian Jon Preddle (https://broadwcast.org/) join to help analyse this most seminal of stories, as Season 3 draws to a close and Doctor Who marches on in a new format under Innes Lloyd and Gerry Davis. Then it’s off on a world tour, as Jon talks us through the sales process, censorship in Australia and New Zealand and how and why four prints of The War Machines ended up in Nigeria, to be found by Ian Levine in the 1980’s. This is the deepest of deep dives and summarises years of Jon’s cutting-edge research. We also explore why, perhaps, The Wheel in Space wasn’t in Jos when Enemy and Web were recovered over ten years ago! So leave your Dodo at home, put on your fab gear and join us as we take a look at The War Machines. If you enjoy this podcast, we ask that you share it on social media to help us find our audience!
