National Podcast Post Month Day 19: Dalek Commentary

Play

We step into the TARDIS for NaPodPoMo Day 19! Seth and Mark bring their signature blend of knowledge and humor to a “modern classic” Doctor Who episode, “Dalek”.

Examining The Doctor is our Doctor Who-themed podcast. Rather than just talk about everybody’s favorite Time Lord, Seth and co-host Mark Short provide episode commentaries for some favorite (and not-so-favorite) Doctor Who episodes. Mark is a certified Englishman who grew up on the show while Seth is American and a relative newcomer.

To celebrate Christopher Eccleston’s return to Doctor Who, Seth and Mark watch the classic episode Dalek. Arguably the best episode of Eccleston’s season, Dalek not only introduces The Doctor’s greatest enemy to a modern audience, but it also gives the first hints into The Doctor’s past with The Time War.

This episode is a must-see for any level of Doctor Who fan, and the commentary has Mark and Seth’s signature blend of knowledge and humor.

Sites used during episode research: TARDIS Data CoreIMDB, and A Brief History of Time Travel.

For best results, you will need a copy of the Christopher Eccleston story Dalek. It is Season One, Episode Six of the revived series. It can be found on AmazoniTunesHBOMAX, BBC iPlayer, and most retail DVD/Blu-Ray outlets.
