The Third Doctor Adventures

"The Unzal Incursion"

May 18, 2021

Under the supervision of the Doctor, the Brigadier and Dr Liz Shaw, UNIT are getting ready to activate Hotspur: their new, advanced early warning system. But something goes wrong. Can it be that UNIT has been betrayed from within? Suddenly bases are falling across the globe, and only the Doctor and his friends are able to escape. Not knowing how far the conspiracy goes, the Doctor, Liz and the Brigadier become fugitives. Their investigations lead them to the Fulcrum military training facility. And something beyond the Earth.

Podcaster John S. Drew and writer/editor Jim Beard join forces once again to become the masters of time and space as they watch and review every single episode of the Doctor Who series. In this episode they discuss the voice actors in the production, the callbacks, and the very by the numbers, but enjoyable plot.

William Russell Enoch left us on June 3, 2024. For 78 episodes, he portrayed the character of Ian Chesterton, a science teacher whisked away with fellow teacher Barbara Wright by the Doctor and his granddaughter Susan in their time machine, the TARDIS. He was the template for what a male companion to the Doctor should be. With his passing, John and Jim pause their viewing of Doctor Who to discuss the character and the actor. For Jim, who started his journey in the TARDIS from the beginning, Ian was his first companion. Join us as we offer this brief retrospective on the career of William Russell.
