#268 - Folk Songs of the Peladonian Miners
Episode 268
Tuesday, 22 July, 2025
We've reached the penultimate story in the season with The Interstellar Song Contest, where "Die Hard meets Eurovision" and hijinks ensue. Ben reminisces about past Eurovisions. David wonders if singing a Hellion folk song can really cause three trillion people to overlook they were about to be murdered? Throw in another bi-generation, Susan Foreman, a sidelined Belinda, a married couple with skills perfect to solve the story's problem, and the Doctor becoming a torturer, and well, there's much to talk about. Opening music is "Apricot Stone" with Eva Rivas for Armenia from Eurovision 2010, and closing music is "Miss Kiss Kiss Bang" with Alex Swings Oscar Sings for Germany from Eurovision 2009. We recorded this episode on 7 July 2025.
