Hello everyone, the Historian here and, after a few small technical difficulties, Ketina, Ronelyn, Schmallturm, Kroroboros and I settled in to watch this second episode of “The Keys of Marinus” serial. I might add that this episode is also a bit of an event; as of last week, we have made it halfway through the first season of Doctor Who! So, let’s begin the second half, shall we?

1 – The Sea of Death
Hello all, the Historian here, along with Ketina, Ronelyn, Schmallturm and Kroroboros. We’ve left Mongol China and are back to science fiction–and getting close to being half done with the first season as well! More about that another time, now on to the summary!

Wrapup – Marco Polo
Well, we’ve come to the end of our first reconstructed story, which, thanks to an apparent error on the part of the dubber, led to a bit of the bending of the rules here at the TARDIS project. Yes, we have officially missed an episode, but I assure you that, if I get my hands on a copy of the recon for “Mighty Kublai Khan,” we will watch it, write up a special post and I’ll link back to here. I’m hopeful that this will happen before the end of the Project!

6 – Mighty Kublai Khan
Not so mighty…
Hello, the Historian here, bringing you bad news. It seems the person who dubbed our Loose Cannon reconstruction of “Marco Polo” (an official dubber, I hasten to add) accidently left episode six off! The first tape ends with five, the second begins with seven. There is a summary of the episode’s events on this page (scroll down), and the transcription (which I will certainly be reading!) is here. For completeness sake, I should add that the episode was aired on 28 March, 1964.
Obviously, this is a serious disappointment to the TARDIS Project team. We did continue on with the next episode, which I’ll get to in a moment, but I just thought I should apologize to our readers…whoever you are.
In a moment, “Assassin at Peking.” And I remain

A welcome and a scheduling note
First of all, a hearty welcome to any and all new readers who may have come here via links at The Tardis Newsroom! (And a personal thank you to the Newsroom from Ketina and myself for the plugs!) For those who might find it easier to follow that way, we also have a Livejournal feed for the Project. We’d love new readers, so if you like what you see, feel free to spread the news far and wide.
Secondly, a note on this week’s schedule for those who only occasionally look in. Due to various circumstances, our viewing/blogging of the next episode won’t be in our normal Friday timeslot. Instead, we’ll be taking a look at episode five of Loose Cannon’s “Marco Polo” reconstruction on Sunday afternoon. Look for the post on Sunday evening!
Until then, as always, I remain

2 – The Singing Sands
Hello all, the Historian here. Before we begin, a small announcement: we will be skipping next week, as I have been unavoidably summoned and must journey to the planet of Hilarus Solum. Have no fear, though, we will return the week following with our next episode!
