Author: Paul Cornell, L. M. Myles. February 13, 2021 Duration: 58:48

Hello! And welcome to the 36th episode of Hammer House of Podcast, where Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Elementary) and L.M. Myles (Verity!) discuss, in order of UK release, every horror movie made by Hammer Film Productions between 1955 and 1976, from The Quatermass Xperiment to To the Devil… A Daughter.

This month, we review 1966's The Reptile.


Join hosts Paul Cornell and L. M. Myles for a deep, chronological dive into the rich and often surprising history of British telefantasy. In Telefantasy Time Jump, each episode focuses on a single year, starting in 1953, unpacking the science fiction and fantasy series that shaped a nation's imagination. You’ll hear detailed discussions and reviews of iconic and obscure shows alike, informed by the hosts' own professional experiences in television and audio drama. This isn't just a nostalgic recap; it's an exploration of cultural context, production tales, and the evolving craft of storytelling on the small screen. The main feed meticulously covers UK output, creating a unique historical tapestry of the genre. For subscribers, the companion Patreon episodes expand the view to see what was happening in global science fiction and fantasy television during those same years, offering a fascinating comparative perspective. Whether you're a lifelong fan of classic serials or curious about the roots of modern hits, this podcast provides a thoughtful, engaging, and wonderfully specific journey through decades of broadcast wonder. Settle in for conversations that are as much about history and passion as they are about the shows themselves.
