Audio 23: Hot Chocolate Technology (The Marian Conspiracy)

Decorative Vegetable

Damn, now I want Hot Chocolate.

Conspiracies. Can’t live with ’em, can’t live without coming up with a new one every 4.6 seconds. Well, maybe that’s just me. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s just this week’s story, coming your way via our way courtesy once again of Big Finish. It’s all about conspiracies – actually just one conspiracy in particular, that conspiracy being The Marian Conspiracy written by Jacqueline Raynor and released on March 12, 2000.

What titles would we give each Doctor if they were named instead of numbered? (This is in response to an email we got.)

1. The Black and White Doctor
2. The Second Black and White Doctor
3. The First Not Black and White Doctor
4. Thete
5. The Third Not Black and White Doctor

Show-notes:
4:00: Pretty sure Dylan just said this for the title.
5:10: As always, here’s the timescales webpage for The Marian Conspiracy.
5:50:It was The Land of the Dead. Lmao. Also, I was wrong about Power. It was the second episode of series D. The episode I was referring to was Horizon. Oops.
11:22: I was, of course, wrong again. It was the Tenth Doctor story New Earth.
13:56: Can’t believe I’m unironically linking Horace Slughorn in a Doctor Who podcast.
26:50: I’m just reading Mary’s wikipedia page at this point.
41:20: The cover for The Marian Conspiracy is on the timescales page above, but here it is solo anyway. And here’s the meme, for the millionth time in our show notes, for reference.
1:03:08: Here’s the article I’m reading off of. (Editor’s note: I think this is the right link. Either way, the information is there. I just don’t know whether it’s exactly where Dylan got it.) (Dylan’s Note: Yep that’s right)
1:06:29: Our ep on Bang-Bang-a-Boom
1:11:12: I spent the promised 5 minutes and couldn’t find it.
1:18:39: The Curator
