Here's the Liverpool Echo and Newcastle Chronicle, both dated 23rd November 1963, each giving the story title as The Tribe of Gum. They must have got that from somewhere, and given that no episode had even been broadcast at this point, it can only have been from a BBC information pack.

Mind you, the rule of precedence suggests that whatever the most recent version of how something is presented (especially in public) absolutely trumps how something might have been referred to - especially behind the scenes - back in the day, and here's how the BBC refer to it now

Seeing as our last episode was a day early, here we are Fixing Eric Saward on a Thursday rather than the intended Friday. I hope he's ready for our clean-up campaign!

Wish it could be Christmas every day? Well, perhaps not every day, but December is almost upon us and between now and the big day we're going twice-weekly with our Doctor Who-themed episodes, in our busiest month since the sixtieth anniversary. Plus all the usual film reviews and more.

We turn our microphones to the topic of the recently finished Alien: Earth, and ask ourselves if eight episodes of Alien on the telly is all our dreams come true, or maybe too much Alien...

We review the debut album Tell Me It's Not True, by new indie band Silk Cuts; if C86 and Sarah Records is your thing, or even if you just like authentic sounding guitar music, they should be right up your street. They are certainly up ours!

After Pinocchio, Frankenstein feels like the next logical step for director Guillermo del Toro. But would we be able to sit through yet another adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel?

On the feed in the second half of November... we catch up with the Frankensteins, partake of some Silk Cuts, and watch a pair of Myth Makers (so you don't have to), before finding Aliens on Earth, fixing Eric Saward, and starting a Hammer marathon with an early pair of Quatermass adjacent horrors...

Five sequels, a prequel and a TV series suggest 1990's Tremors must have been a huge hit - although that must have been on home media because the box office itself wasn't exactly stellar. What does the movie look like 35 years on though...?

A new member of the team takes over the job of helping to choose another ten classic Doctor Who stories worth revisiting in a modern reboot - and we have a new Doctor to choose stories for too. But what stories could we possibly have chosen for her?

A Film Club Duet of two "alien possession" movies from either side of the turn of the 1990s, The Hidden and Body Snatchers. But how well do they stand up more than 30 years on?

No sign of Jane's Addiction but we do get Matt Smith, in Caught Stealing, a "crime comedy" from Baz Luhrmann's Elvis Presley and the director of Mother! - plus an unlikely pairing of two actors who've both played Orson Welles on screen. Cue car crash...?
