I love The Myth Makers

An unheralded story in the Doctor Who canon, but my heavens is it good. No episodes exist in the archives (other than a couple of off-screen clips) but the soundtrack is available on CD from the BBC. If you haven’t heard it, give it a listen. Its basically Doctor Who doing Blackadder nearly twenty years before Blackadder did. Even to the point that the comedy is replaced at the end with tragedy as Blackadder seasons were wont to do. The story also made for one of the best Target novelizations, written by the script writer Donald Cotton nearly twenty years later, although much of the witty dialogue from the script is not contained in the novelization which utilizes first-person narration from a character who has no dialogue in the televised version.

For all the new series fans out there wanting to grab a lost slice of the Hartnell era…...check it out!

Is this available on its own or is it part of those big (and, sadly, rather expensive) AudioGo box sets?

, good parenting)_____Re: The oanriigl use of this blog .. Another obit. you may wish to consider is . Mr. Terkel is interesting for all kinds of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that he was often able to do the precise opposite of what you find most interesting about Mr. Slightly Less Nerdier Green’s (and Mr. Newman’s?) narratives. Namely, Terkel could take personal stories of deep pathos and bring them out into the light for all, including the subjects, to see and appreciate._____Oh ya, and just in case you need anymore convincing,  Studs spent considerable time working for Mr. Glass’s home station
