A special edition of the Doctor Who Fifty Years Ago podcast in which Ben, Luke and Nick commit an in-depth analysis into the long-term villain of the show, "The Master".על ידי Ben Cowdell, Nicolas Wilson, Luke Williams
A Doctor Who series and a government ends, and a new government begins in the 1970s which brought in an element of internationalism. In 2020, there might be an end of an age with isolationist nationalistic agendas cropping up. We can but analyse what Doctor Who and the world was in 1970, compare it to what it is in 2020, and murmur disapprovingly.…

Doctor Who: Fifty Years Ago
There’s a tiny glimmer of goodness in the face of inevitable destruction in this episode of Doctor Who Fifty Years Ago. There’s also a fight against this goodness which threatens the safety of everyone we like. I cannot shove my tongue further inside my cheek even if I wanted to. Something something apocalypse now.…
The morals are wobbly and grey, as is the concept of soldiers, heroes and bureaucrats. We recognise when the rules can be broken, deify those who do and vilify those who don't, a humanisation of soldiers. The environment also gets a mention as it threatens to consume us all, very quickly in the story, very slowly in reality.…
We interrogate an episode in which the Doctor is interrogated to tell anything except the truth and the concept of the parallel universe gets another turn. There's also deep discussion about how violent acts and regimes are portrayed, and a subverted view of bureaucracy.על ידי Ben Cowdell, Nicolas Wilson, Luke Williams
Whilst an election looms in Britain 50 Years Ago, so does a story about parallel universes where extremism holds power and how it all ends in fire. Or is it connected to Buddhism? It's all visually interesting.על ידי Ben Cowdell, Nicolas Wilson, Luke Williams
The calculated brainy use of brawn, how space and drilling are viewed by authors and audiences and how future technology is viewed by everyone are discussed in this episode of Doctor Who: Fifty Years Ago.על ידי Ben Cowdell, Nicolas Wilson, Luke Williams
This episode talks about several power complexes: control of information, government and technology, renegades and experts in the past as seen in this episode of Doctor Who Fifty Years Ago, which has repercussions for the present and indeed the future.על ידי Ben Cowdell, Nicolas Wilson, Luke Williams
In which there is a large discussion about how the media is portrayed in fiction between fifty years ago and now as "The Ambassadors of Death" fizzles out right at the very end.על ידי Ben Cowdell, Nicolas Wilson, Luke Williams

The plot of this tale becomes apparent, but we can’t help but compare the space elements of this episode to high sci-fi elements of a Space Odyssey.על ידי Ben Cowdell, Nicolas Wilson, Luke Williams

Doctor Who: Fifty Years Ago
This episode of Doctor Who: Fifty Years Ago is about fuelling a space mission. Of course, Apollo 13 happened in real-life at the same time. That's quite interesting, and so are the subjects of regular characters, communications and privacy.על ידי Ben Cowdell, Nicolas Wilson, Luke Williams

Doctor Who: Fifty Years Ago
This episode deals with the concept of trust, black and white morality, and an unfortunate mishap with fuel for a space program. Yes, that space program. Also food shortage and disease was also happening 50 Years Ago, because nothing changes.על ידי Ben Cowdell, Nicolas Wilson, Luke Williams
