It was a Thing on TV: Episode #99 - Kamelion on Doctor Who
Wednesday Oct 21, 2020
Wednesday Oct 21, 2020
This Week on It was a Thing on TV we meet maybe one of the worst characters in the history of a popular long running show.
Doctor Who has had many memorable characters in it's almost 60-year history on the BBC. However, not every character can be Sarah Jane Smith, Amy Pond or even K-9. Meet Kamelion, a robot who's apparently not a robot. A character so bad he only appeared in two televised Doctor Who serials but has since appeared in many spin-off Doctor Who books and audio dramas in which some of the plots of them will leave you confused.
On a serious note, our co-host Mike recently had a serious trip to the hospital which we address in the cold open of the episode. To help out with his medical expenses a GoFundMe has been set-up which you can donate to at tinyurl.com/klaussiestrong.

After that, they discuss which 1980’s Action Flicks will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Raiders Of The Lost Ark shouldn’t get a spot? Will the Die Hard be included? Is Predator in the conversation? What about Commando, Top Gun & The Terminator?
