It’s amazing what you can stumble on sometimes. We
were watching an episode of the 1970’s situation comedy Terry and June
on the 13th June 2014 on the channel Drama. Part way through
the episode Doctor Who gets a mention. I decided to do a mentions article that
developed also into a connections article.
To learn more about this show, visit this page:
I had to do the transcript myself. So as it’s a long
scene I have just captured only part of it. Obviously the show Terry is
speaking of is Star Trek. Unfortunately nobody else seems to be on the
same planet as Terry and it takes him a while to get it across to his seemingly
dim neighbour’s.
So here is a Mentions and Connections for this episode
of Terry and June!
Episode Details:
Terry
and June: Season 1 Episode 5
Episode title: ‘Writing on the Wall’
Original air date: 21st November 1979
After
seeing graffiti on a wall in the street Terry declares that people should take
more responsibility for children and ends up looking after Magnus, Tina's
twelve year old nephew, for whom he builds a spaceship for the local fancy
dress parade. When Magnus goes down with a rash, Terry 'pilots' the space ship
himself but it ends up getting towed away and Magnus's rash is actually red
paint as he was the graffiti artist.
Doctor Who Mentions:
Terry: “My suggestion
is, well now literally out of this world. Now does that give you
a clue?”
Tina: “Spiritualism?”
Terry: “No!”
June: “Out of
space?!”
Terry: “Ah, well done, out of space.
Now what is that they repeat year after year?”
Tina: “Gardening
Club?”
Terry: “Gardening
Club. Gardening Club?....What are you talking about?!”
Tina: “It’s
repeated every Thursday”
Terry: “No, no, the
show I mean has that character with pointed ears!”
Brian: “Oh...er...er..the
Basil Brush!”
June: “Oh! Mr
Spock!”
Tina: “Doctor Who?”
Brian: “No, that’s
the man with the police box
Terry: “Doctor
Spock?”
Doctor Who Connection:
Actress, June Whitfield, who played June in ‘Terry and
June’, played Wilf’s friend Minnie Hooper in the Doctor Who Specials two part
story “The End of Time.” This aired over Christmas and New Year 2009/10.
Another connection, that isn’t entirely a Terry and
June connection, except for line related is the Mr Spock aspect. In season 27/1
of Doctor Who in 2005. When Captain Jack Harkness first greets the Doctor in
the Albion Hospital corridor, Jack refers to the Doctor as Mr Spock.
