In this episode Nathan and Juliette talk about their first true Lost Story, Farewell, Great Macedon. This story could have been part of Doctor Who’s first season but writer, Moris Fahri, was unwilling to undertake the extensive rewrites asked of him by the Doctor Who production office. However, he kept his script intact, so Big Finish was able to adapt it into an audio drama in 2010. In this episode our intrepid time team discuss the setting and what they know about Alexander the Great. Along the way they discuss Christianity in Doctor Who, John Dorney’s driven performance, Ian’s wrestling prowess, and the Doctor playing to the crowd. They’ll also discuss things that don’t work and what those extensive rewrites were probably all about.
