Episode 81-A - The Five Doctors, Part I (with James Cooray Smith)

This week, it's The Five Doctors, the 20th anniversary special for Doctor Who, aired (at least in the States) exactly on the 20th anniversary, and the novelization, by episode writer Terrance Dicks, came out the same week. We're now at three times the 20th anniversary, but this story still has a powerful hold. We'll be bringing you three straight episodes exploring Five Doctors - in every dimension, in every detail - and this week my guest is James Cooray Smith, author of many Black Archives titles such as The Massacre, and keeper of the great Psychic Paper Substack. James and I have much to discuss; there's probably enough material in here to cover seven episodes, let alone one, as we discuss Five Doctors and beyond -- way beyond. Music heard this week includes a 1980s US cartoon TV theme (sung by John Sebastian!), the theme to the PBS staple This Old House (via Fats Waller), some old school late '80s hip-hop, and a Jim Sangster (@Monster_Maker) homage to Tulips from Amsterdam.
