Glorious Goodwood (audio story)

Glorious Deadwood was BBC Radio story released in 1974.

In 1974, Jon Pertwee and Elisabeth Sladen reprised their roles of the Third Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith, respectively, for a ten-minute mini-episode, which also included an appearance by the Daleks. The episode was created in conjunction with an appearance at the Goodwood Racecourse in Sussex and was apparently to have been played at the venue itself.

The episode is primarily carried by Sladen. Pertwee is heard only briefly. One notable aspect of the production is that it's the only occasion in which the name Whomobile is actually uttered in relation to the futuristic car owned by the Doctor. This suggests this was recorded near the end of Pertwee's tenure as the Whomobile only appeared near the end of his era.

The apparently untitled mini-episode was never broadcast. It remained hidden in the BBC Archives until 2005, when it was included on BBCR: Doctor Who at the BBC Volume 3, an edition of the Doctor Who at the BBC series of CD releases (also narrated by Sladen).
