And so we reach the conclusion of the first ever Doctor Who story, a journey which began in 1963 and continues today in modern Doctor Who.
This is episode 4 of An Unearthly Child, also known as The Firemaker, in which our intrepid heroes try and make their way back to the TARDIS and away from the deadly clutches of prehistoric Earth.
After spending a few weeks with Edward Woodward, Steven Spielberg and Matt Smith, the MMM team return to their first love – classic Doctor Who.
So for the next few weeks kick back with the boys and listen to their commentaries on the first season of Doctor Who, all the way back in 1963.
Where better to start than at the beginning with the episode that started it all. William Hartnell, the mysterious grandfather with a yunkyard and many secrets, and his intrepid companions, grand-daughter Susan and reluctant travellers Ian and Barbara.
Over the coming fortnight MMM will release commentaries for all four episodes of this first ever Doctor Who adventure.
The MMM team can’t get enough of Mr Spielberg, and have chosen as their next release one of the classic from his frankly classic-filled back catalogue.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind – with Spielberg’s everyman Richard Dreyfuss having an encounter with UFOs, and feels undeniably drawn to an isolated area in the wilderness where something spectacular is about to happen.
Join Tony, Geoff and Gecko on a journey through the film with the most undeniably memorable series of musical notes in any film, ever.

Bring a sort of closure to our Steven Spielberg project, started so very long ago, the MMM team of Trevor, David, Tony and Geoff explore Mr Spielberg’s view of the future where all crime can be predicted, and prevented.
Starring that legend of cinema Max Von Sydow and some other people join the team on our journey.
The MMM team return to the familiar and comforting well of Doctor Who and provide a commentary for one of their favourite episodes of the most recent season – the Season 6 story The Girl Who Waited.
In the episode, alien time traveller the Doctor (Matt Smith) takes his companions Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and her husband Rory (Arthur Darvill) to the planet Apalapucia for a holiday, but the find that the planet is on quarantine as the two-hearted natives are susceptible to a deadly plague. Amy accidentally gets separated from the Doctor and Rory but when they try to rescue her they arrive 36 years later in her timeline. The older Amy does not trust the Doctor, who is forced to remain on the TARDIS as he also has two hearts, and will not allow the Doctor and Rory leave and rescue her at the correct point in her timeline.
Tony and Geoff take you through a slice of current Doctor Who, MMM style.
MMM is proud to present a commentary track for a film that not a lot of people know about, but a a film that a lot of people should.
During the Boer War, three Australian lieutenants are on trial for shooting Boer prisoners. Though they acted under orders, they are being used as scapegoats by the General Staff, who hopes to distance themselves from the irregular practices of the war. The trial does not progress as smoothly as expected by the General Staff, as the defence puts up a strong fight in the courtroom.
It is a truly powerful film, which not only shows the brutality of war, but the unfairness and inequity of war. Starring Edward Woodward, and directed by Bruce Beresford with a star studded supporting cast of Jack Thompson, Bryan Brown and John Waters.
Participants David, Geoff, Gecko and Tony take you through this landmark film in Australian cinema history, Breaker Morant.
