The Entirety of Flight Through Entirety: A Doctor Who Podcast Collection

500YD S4E5: What the World Is Like (Torchwood: Children of Earth: Day Five)

Friday 10 July 2009 Torchwood: Children of Earth: Day Five It’s the end of the week, and although some kids and a whole building full of public servants are dead, we all learn that even the ones who walk away from Omelas discover that the real Omelas was inside them all along. NOTES AND LINKS We didn’t have a whole season of Doctor Who in 2009, because David Tennant took a year off to play Hamlet at the Royal Shakespeare Company [https://www.rsc.org.uk/hamlet/past-productions/in-focus-gregory-doran-2008] in 2008/2009. In fact, it was during the interval of one of the performances in October 2008 that David Tennant appeared remotely at the National Television Awards to announce his departure [https://www.theguardian.com/media/2008/oct/29/doctorwho-bbc] from the show. In the 1998 French and Saunders Christmas Special [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0582906/], Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders played overly enthusiastic extras on James Cameron’s Titanic [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120338/] (1997), who ended up being repeatedly duplicated in a panicky crowd scene. (They also played Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet respectively.) Here’s the trailer [https://youtu.be/X9FV2Lw5F5U]. Adam’s ridiculous theory podcast is Adam Richard Has a Theory [https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/adam-richard-has-a-theory/id1492368367], available daily wherever you get your podcasts. Fridge logic [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FridgeLogic] is a plot element in TV or film that doesn’t actually make sense, but you only realise that when you go to the fridge to get something afterwards. Alfred Hitchcock coined the term icebox scene to describe a scene that “hits you after you’ve gone home and start pulling cold chicken out of the icebox”. In 2009, there’s a general awareness of child abuse in care homes and in the church, and there are plenty of reports in the newspapers. However, Jimmy Savile’s history of abuse isn’t widely known until after his death in 2011 [https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/oct/29/sir-jimmy-savile] and an ITV documentary [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2438738/] about his life in October 2012. A month before Children of Earth airs, the Plymouth child abuse ring [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Plymouth_child_abuse_case] was first reported to police. (Content warnings apply.) The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas [https://shsdavisapes.pbworks.com/f/Omelas.pdf] (1973) is a beautiful and harrowing short story by Ursula Le Guin about the discovery that our comfort and prosperity depend on the exploitation and immiseration of others. It won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 1974. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds covers the same ground in its Season 1 episode Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Lift_Us_Where_Suffering_Cannot_Reach_(episode)]. In 2025, one of the finalists for the Hugo Award for Best Short Story was Isabel J Kim’s Why Don’t We Just Kill the Kid in the Omelas Hole [https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/kim_02_24/], a satirical response to Le Guin’s story for the vastly more cynical world of 2024. (It did win the Nebula Award for Best Short Story for that year.) We found Aimee Davies, who played Mica Davies in Children of Earth: she is now a Twitch streamer called Aimsey [https://www.twitch.tv/aimsey/videos]. During the tag, Adam recommends two TV shows with actors from Children of Earth. Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo star as detectives in Apple TV’s Criminal Record [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21088136/]. In ITV’s Gone [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39019156/], an alarmingly blonde Eve Myles investigates the disappearance of David Morrissey’s wife.

500YD S4E4: The War Between the Land and Denise (Torchwood: Children of Earth: Day Four)

Thursday 9 July 2009 Torchwood: Children of Earth: Day Four Tonight, John Frobisher’s relationship with the 456 turns from sour to ugly, while Captain Jack Harkness’s day starts with humiliation and ends in death. In contrast, the British PM and his advisors are being uncharacteristically dynamic and productive, which doesn’t bode well for anyone really. NOTES AND LINKS The Trolley Problem [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem] is a well-known series of thought experiments used to test our moral intuitions about consequentialism [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consequentialism], devised by the English moral philosopher Philippa Foot. In it, most people say that if a runaway train is going to kill five unsuspecting people on the track, it’s okay to flip a switch and divert the train onto a track with only one person on it. However, people tend to be less enthusiastic about stopping the train by pushing a person in front of it, even though the outcome is the same. Sometimes people are invited to imagine if it would make any difference if they knew the person to be sacrificed — a variation on the scenario which will become important later. The film Contagion [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1598778/] (2011), directed by Steven Soderbergh, concerns a highly transmissible and deadly pandemic outbreak which kills 25 million people worldwide. In early 2020, as the Covid-19 pandemic was getting going, the film enjoyed a surge in popularity, going viral, according to this story in The Guardian [https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/jan/30/what-can-we-learn-about-coronavirus-from-watching-contagion] from January 2020. Bury Your Gays [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BuryYourGays] (also known as Dead Lesbian Syndrome) is a trope in media — particularly television, although it predates television — denoting the tendency for gay characters in fiction to suffer tragic outcomes, including but not limited to death.

On Untitled Star Trek Project [https://untitledstartrekproject.com], Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford [https://flightthroughentirety.com/guests/joe-ford] watched a top-tier episode of Star Trek: Voyager [https://untitledstartrekproject.com/voy], its 100th episode — Timeless [https://untitledstartrekproject.com/186]. And we’ve got a brilliant Deep Space Nine episode coming along next. So stay tuned.

500YD S4E3: Nervous and Scottish (Torchwood: Children of Earth: Day Three)

Wednesday 8 July 2009 Torchwood: Children of Earth: Day Three Tonight, Jack finally works out why everyone wants to kill him (and it’s not the reason you might expect), while mere miles away the 456 arrive in Thames House and immediately run up an upsettingly large cleaning bill. Adam Richard and Kevin Burnard join us to discuss Day Three. NOTES AND LINKS In 2017, Anthony Rapp accused Kevin Spacey of making a sexual advance towards him [https://web.archive.org/web/20180413122720/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/star-trek-star-claims-kevin-spacey-made-a-pass-at-him-at-age-14-1052828] at a party when he was 14. Spacey apologised, but also came out in the process [https://web.archive.org/web/20180323231425/https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/kevin-spacey-muddies-the-waters], as if his sexual orientation had been some kind of mitigating factor. The Second Coming [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0353104/] (2003) was a TV miniseries written by Russell T Davies, in which a man who works at a video rental store in Manchester turns out to be the Son of God. It will seem familiar to anyone who has watched Aliens of London, not least because the man is played by Christopher Eccleston. El Sandifer talks about what Martha’s role might have looked like in Children of Earth in her essay on Day Two [https://www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/outside-the-government-torchwood-children-of-earth-day-two]. Adam’s daily Doctor Who podcast is called Adam Richard Has a Theory [https://shows.acast.com/adam-richard-has-a-theory], and it consists of no less than 1315 episodes of Adam’s insightful, implausible and hilarious theories about the show throughout its entire history. Adam mentions an episode of the British satirical show Brass Eye called Paedogeddon [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paedogeddon], which aired on Channel 4 in 2001. It was a ridiculous parody current affairs show containing absurd stories about paedophiles, satirising the hysteria and hypocrisy that attended the topic in the British media of the time. You can watch it here [https://youtu.be/pQCrcAFuI-E?si=_xYZkS5bD7BE-7Pv&t=8530].

Last week, the lads at The Three-Handed Game [https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-three-handed-game-an-avengers-podcast/id1732180356] released their latest episode — the first part of an interview with prolific Australian actor Annette Andre [https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-three-handed-game-an-avengers-podcast/id1732180356?i=1000755492200], who plays Judy in an episode of The Avengers called Mandrake and Suzy Miller in an episode of The New Avengers called House of Cards. She had a massive career in British TV throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s. You might know her from her role as Jeannie Hopkirk in Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), but she appears in all of our favourites — The Saint, The Prisoner, The Persuaders! and The Return of the Saint. (And, for us Australians, Taurus Rising, Cop Shop and Prisoner.) And finally, on Untitled Star Trek Project [https://untitledstartrekproject.com], Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford [https://flightthroughentirety.com/guests/joe-ford] sat through an unbearably dull and silly episode of Star Trek: The Original Series [https://untitledstartrekproject.com/tos] — The Savage Curtain [https://untitledstartrekproject.com/185], an episode enlivened only by the guest appearance of a heavily made-up Abraham Lincoln.

500YD S4E2: Treason on Tuesday (Torchwood: Children of Earth: Day Two)

Tuesday 7 July 2009 Torchwood: Children of Earth: Day Two The 456 said they’d drop round some time this evening, so while they wait, Simon and Nathan chat with Johnny Spandrell and Melvin Peña about villains, childlessness, the Home Office onboarding process, how great Eve Myles is, and whether Torchwood really is appropriate viewing for grownups. NOTES AND LINKS The Big Finish Torchwood range [https://www.bigfinish.com/ranges/v/torchwood] started in 2015 with Torchwood: The Conspiracy [https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/torchwood-the-conspiracy-1294], and it will conclude [https://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/the-future-of-torchwood] in May 2026 with its 100th monthly release, Joe Lidster’s Fare Well [https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/torchwood-fare-well-3216]. The latest iteration of Star Trek, Starfleet Academy [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Trek:_Starfleet_Academy], is also concerned acout children and the world that we have created for them to grow up in. You can hear Joe and Nathan discussing the pilot on Untitled Star Trek Project Episode 180 [https://untitledstartrekproject.com/180]. In Carl Sagan’s 1985 novel Contact [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53000876-contact], Earth receives an alien message containing 30,000 pages of schematics for a Machine which can transport people across the galaxy. In Children of Earth a far more basic group of aliens order us to build a tank. Just over a week before Children of Earth was broadcast, John Barrowman complained in the paper [https://www.theguardian.com/media/2009/jun/30/doctor-who-torchwood-john-barrowman] that Torchwood had been punished for its success by being given a reduced episode order. Simon mentions the TV event miniseries of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The first of these is probably Roots [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075572/] (1977), a generational story about an enslaved man, Kunta Kinte (LeVar Burton) who is kidnapped from West Africa. Over eight consecutive nights, we follow his family history until his descendants are liberated after the Civil War. We also mention V [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085106/] (1983), in which lizard aliens camply invade and occupy Earth over two consecutive nights, and The Thorn Birds [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085101/] (1983), in which over four consecutive nights, Richard Chamberlain plays a heterosexual Australian priest with varying results; Bryan Brown also features, playing his customary block of wood. In May 2021, John Barrowman’s behaviour on the set of both Doctor Who and Torchwood came into question [https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2021/may/07/noel-clarke-accused-of-sexual-harassment-on-doctor-who-set] after Noel Clarke was accused by several people of bullying and sexual harassment on set. Barrowman had previously apologised in 2008 [https://www.theguardian.com/media/2008/dec/02/bbc-radio] for inappropriate behaviour during a live broadcast on BBC Radio 1.

It’s the master feed for all four of our Doctor Who podcasts: Flight Through Entirety [https://flightthroughentirety.com], 500 Year Diary [https://500yeardiary.com], The Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire [https://thesecondgreatandbountifulhumanempire.com], and Jodie into Terror [https://jodieintoterror.com].

And finally, on Untitled Star Trek Project [https://untitledstartrekproject.com], Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford [https://flightthroughentirety.com/guests/joe-ford] said farewell to a surprisingly complex and beautiful kids’ show iteration of Star Trek — Star Trek: Prodigy [https://untitledstartrekproject.com/pro], whose two-part finale Ouroboros [https://untitledstartrekproject.com/184] aired in 2024 and which vanished from streaming just a year or so later.

500YD S4E1: They’re Not Here Until Wednesday (Torchwood: Children of Earth: Day One)

Monday 6 July 2009 Torchwood: Children of Earth: Day One After 44 years, the 456 are coming back, but before they get here there’s a fair amount of setting up to do. First, remind us how scary and weird children are; second, introduce us to a troupe of amazing new actors; and third, blow up the entire show. Should be fun. NOTES AND LINKS The Torchwood episode with the screaming adult that Nathan struggles to name is Season 2, Episode 11, Adrift [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Adrift_(TV_story)], in which Ruth Jones searches for her son Jonah, who disappeared seven months ago, only to discover that he fell into the rift and is now an ugly adult with a massive latex head who screams non-stop for twenty hours a day. Horrible, and in no way entertaining. Adam refers to Eddie Murphy’s 1983 comedy special Delirious, which caused a stir [https://goodmenproject.com/ethics-values/eddie-murphys-homophobic-comedy-special-delirious-is-now-streaming-on-netflix-wcz/] when it appeared on Netflix in 2017 and everyone discovered the lovable Donkey’s homophobic history. (Murphy apologised for the routine in 1996.) Here’s the clip [https://youtu.be/Qe3aTHXj7u4?si=I7tw7fbeh4t6gU_u&t=458] that seems to have inspired Torchwood S1E2 Day One. Cush Jumbo and Peter Capaldi are reunited in Criminal Record [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21088136/] (2024) on Apple TV. They play a pair of detectives investigating a murder for which the wrong person may have been convicted. Season 2 will premiere on Apple TV on 22 April. The Midwich Cuckoos [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/161846.The_Midwich_Cuckoos] is a 1957 science fiction novel by John Wyndham about a village whose female residents become mysteriously pregnant after a Doctor who and the Dæmons–style alien incident. The result: two sets of 30 identical Children who operate as two gestalt entities, speaking and thinking in unison. A film adaptation was released in 1960 as Village of the Damned [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054443/], and it has been adapted several times for both film and television since then. Inevitably, Nathan refers to El Sandifer’s essay on Children of Earth: Day One [https://www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/outside-the-government-torchwood-children-of-earth-day-one]. We also mention Wyndham’s The Kraken Wakes [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91092.The_Kraken_Wakes] (1953), which is the story of a husband-and-wife team of radio scriptwriters who live through what slow and largely unseen alien invasion which turns the sea against humanity. It has a lot in common with another five-episode Doctor Who spinoff, The War Between the Land and the Sea [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/The_War_Between_the_Land_and_the_Sea_(TV_series)]. Ianto talks to his sister about Jack, and Peter is reminded of a similar scene from Beautiful Thing [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115640/] (1996). Directed by Hettie Macdonald (Blink, The Magician’s Apprentice, The Witch’s Familiar), Beautiful Thing is a romantic comedy about a gay boy living with a single mother on a council estate, who falls in love with his next-door neighbour. Adam talks about anxieties around queer men and children, and mentions the current production of The Elocution of Benjamin Franklin [https://griffintheatre.com.au/whats-on/the-elocution-of-benjamin-franklin/] at the Griffin Theatre in Sydney, starring Simon Burke. Elocution is a one-hand play in which a queer elocution teacher describes his interactions with a young queer pupil and the hostility he encounters as a result. It was written by Steve J. Spears, and the original production in 1976 starred Gordon Chater. Frobisher [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Frobisher] is also the name of one of the Doctor’s comic-book companions — a shape-shifting hardboiled detective who usually takes the form of a penguin. Here’s the Dead Ringers Torchwood sketch [https://youtu.be/zqFFFgdo1Zc?si=DZiZCZqCxBpdZ-xa] from 2007.

And finally, on Untitled Star Trek Project [https://untitledstartrekproject.com], Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford [https://flightthroughentirety.com/guests/joe-ford] just watched the first episode of Season 2 of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine [https://untitledstartrekproject.com/ds9], The Homecoming [https://untitledstartrekproject.com/183], a charming and intriguing relaunch, despite a surprising lack of incident.
