Just stumbled on your podcast… Decided to start at Tom Baker as I watched them as a child, when they first aired and he is ‘my Doctor’.
Not sure if you were aware of the Sci Fi movie ‘Saturn 3′? It starred U.S. actors, including Farrah Fawcet and Kirk Douglas, but was actually a UK production.
This movie was based on an idea by John Barry, an academy award winning British set designer who worked on such biggies as Star Wars and Empire strikes Back.
Anyhow, Saturn 3 shares the trope of ’emotionally clumsy rampaging robot falling in love with female lead’.
It’s also interesting to note that writer Stephen Gallagher who has penned Dr Who serials (as John Lydecker), also wrote the novelisation of Saturn 3.
I wonder if Dr Who Robot and Saturn 3 might have some shared DNA, either via Stephen Gallagher, or John Barry?
The ‘Den of Geek’ blog do an entertaining/informative review of Saturn 3.
Thanks for your podcast,

Hey there,
Thanks for listening. Glad to have you aboard!
That’s some excellent trivia and an interesting connection! I’ve just watched the trailer for Saturn 3. It looks pretty wonderful, like Alien, but with a robot stalker in place of the xenomorph. Count me in! Will try to carve out some time to watch it with about 50 bags of popcorn sometime soon.
Have a good one!
