Episode 65 - An Unearthly Child (with Mark from Trap One)

Doctor Who's origin story is our focus this week. There is so, so much to discuss, and it's fitting that Mark from The Trap One Podcast is the one to join me this week. We discuss both the TV serial -- Doctor Who's first four weeks on television in late autumn 1963 -- and the novelization, which came out 65th in Target's publication run but is indeed the first story. Mark and I have lots and lots of memories this week. And lots more in my audio essay, following the conversation with Mark. You can find for purchase two Doctor Who spinoff media tales mentioned by Mark: --"Hunters of the Burning Stone", a comic book sequel to this adventure. --"The Last Day at Work", a Big Finish freebie audio play also riffing on this adventure. On YouTube you can find: --the 1976 Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Weebles set. --Game 6 of the 1981 World Series, which aired the same week this novelization was published. "Doctor Who and an Unearthly Child" features cover art by Andrew Skilleter. Doctor Who Literature is now a member of the Direction Point Doctor Who podcast network.
