with the Wife in Space
Nuffink in ze world can stop us now! Except this story, obviously...
A couple of hours before we settled down to watch The Underwater Menace, Sue and I appeared as guests on Bob Fischer's BBC Tees radio show to shamelessly plug this blog. You can listen to the edited highlights below (and Sue's PVC Dalek-suit anecdote was news to me!):
Adventures with the Wife on BBC Tees - click to play
Episode One
Sue: That's just great. This story is going to star that ****ing hat. I hate that ****ing hat.
We both enjoy the opening TARDIS scene, especially Jamie's reactions to the insanity he has walked into. There's a playful edge to the proceedings and a warmth we haven't really felt since the glory days of Ian, Susan and Barbara. We chuckle when Ben sarcastically hopes for the Daleks ("I bet the kids wouldn't have complained") while the Doctor's desire to encounter prehistoric monsters is dismissed out of hand ("not on this budget, love").
Me: Where do you hope they'll end up this time?
Sue: Somewhere with decent carpentry.
The TARDIS arrives on a beach and when Polly guesses at their whereabouts, Sue declares, in perfect harmony:
Sue: Cornwall! It's always ****ing Cornwall!
It doesn't take very long for our heroes to find themselves in danger: a platform they have been standing on is actually a lift, and as they hurtle beneath the sea, the TARDIS crew succumb to the bends.
Sue: That's very interesting. Ben just asked Polly to get them out of there. He didn't ask the Doctor and he's standing right next to him. I don't blame Ben though; this Doctor is still pretty useless.
When they regain consciousness, Polly finds some pottery with the logo for the 1968 Mexico Olympiad emblazoned on it, and then our heroes are confronted by a race of people dressed in clam shells and seaweed. Sue believes she has it sussed:
Sue: Are they rehearsing for the Opening Ceremony?
Their high priest even sports a fish on his head:
Sue: Please tell me the Doctor doesn't get a hat like that.
Just as Sue believes she has a handle on events, our heroes are strapped to some slabs and sadistically lowered toward a mad man's pet sharks.
Sue: Is this a Bond movie now?
Me: Yes. You Only Live 13 Times.
Sue: Has this got anything to do with the Olympics? Anything at all?
When the Doctor signs his name 'Dr. W', he reignites an old debate:
Sue: You can't really argue with that, can you? That settles it: his name is Dr. Who. You'll just have to accept it, love.
Me: Unless his real name begins with a W -
Sue: Like Doctor Wibbly-Wobbly-Timey-Wimey? Would that make you feel any better? And does it really matter? I call him Dr. Who all the time -
Me: Yes, I know. And every time you do it, part of me dies.
When Professor Zaroff reveals that they are currently hanging out on the lost continent of Atlantis, Sue doesn't even flinch:
Sue: Atlantis. Of course it's Atlantis. Where else would they be in this ****-ed up programme? So, it's James Bond on Atlantis? Gotcha.
Thanks to those fainthearted Australians, the cliffhanger moves, although we find ourselves sympathising with the censor as Polly is strapped to a table and threatened with a large hypodermic needle by some evil scientists who want to turn her into a fish. Yes, a fish.
Sue: I don't know what Polly is moaning about; I'd love to breathe underwater indefinitely. She could stick around and enter the 1972 Olympics. Mark Spitz would have nothing on her.
Episode Two
Me: How short is Polly's surgical gown -
Sue: Trust you to notice that, love.
The hot topic of conversation during this episode is Zaroff. Who else?
Sue: He reminds me of that mad scientist from that show you love: Comedy Theater 2000 -
Me: Mystery Science Theater 3000 -
Sue: That's it. He reminds me of the mad scientist from that: an over-the-top pantomime villain.
Me: Believe it or not, the guy playing him is actually a very fine actor -
Sue: Oh, I don't doubt it. He's just having a laugh with the part. And who can blame...
