Episode 570 – Lost in the Dark Dimension

We mark the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who this week with what could have been a 30th Anniversary special back in 1993. We are talking about the fabled Doctor Who lost media known as the Dark Dimension.

First, we look at a fan-made animated imagining of the special with Season 26B Productions’ Lost in the Dark Dimension.

We’ll also compare another fan production, Pharos Features’ Doctor Who: Dark Dimension, an audio drama presentation of the story.

We use these as a way to imagine what might have been and decide, in our minds what they might have gotten right and what they might have gotten wrong.

Plus we talk about the news of the week.

Enjoy!
