This week on It Was a Thing on TV it’s Week 3 of the Doctor Who 60th anniversary celebration!
First, by the mid 1980s, Doctor Who had emerged as one of the BBC’s longest-running brands, but even then it was getting long in the tooth. In 1986, they tried something big - a season-long arc, resulting in “The Trial of a Time Lord”. Will the Doctor be brought to justice? Will audiences be brought to watch?
Then, "Doctor Who" has had a storied history these past 60 years, but thanks to the economics of television at the time, it - much like that of any TV show at the time - is sketchy at best. But recently, the BBC has ramped up efforts to find and restore episodes long lost to tape wiping by any means necessary. We look at how this piece of TV history is being preserved and what is still missing media.

In the forty-eighth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator/panelist Steve Riddle welcomes Ashley Cruse, Andy Atherton, Steve Bennett, and Aaron George to discuss which Lead Singers deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Freddie Mercury a no-brainer? What about Steve Perry? Does Mick Jagger grab a spot? Does Eddie Vedder or Jon Bon Jovi deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Guitarists will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Eddie Van Halen shouldn’t get a spot? Will Jimi Hendrix be included? Is Eric Clapton in the conversation? What about Carlos Santana or Angus Young?

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we continue with our Doctor Who 60th Anniversary celebration!
First, Doctor Who was an instantaneous sensation that, in 1964, the ABC in Australia commissioned a show similar to yet different from The Doctor. Thought to be lost for decades, The Stranger found its way to the Internet in 2019. Judge for yourself as we continue our tribute to the Doctor's 60th anniversary.
Then, Vincent Price wanted to bring Doctor Who to the States, with an American version. When that failed, he decided to make his own version aboard a train. Time Express was a limited series, starting while Supertrain was still airing. Both shows got derailed in May 1979.
