Partially an oral history of obscure TV shows, partially an oral version of MST3K, and partially a thorough episode guide, It Was a Thing on TV is an anthology podcast about obscure, forgotten, and odd TV shows, commercials, televised events, and almost anyone and anything else that was on television. For the most part, the subjects we cover are from the United States and Canada. We’re just three guys with a love for television. New episodes are generally every Monday and Thursday, sometimes more often.

The Master on the pinball machine is ”Tony Delgado,” a halfway point between the two. Hair of Ainley, features of Delgado. There was a contract issue with Ainley--Bally wanted him to do far more voicework than they were willing to pay for, so he rescinded his likeness rights. Terry Molloy was far more amenable to Bally’s contracts, so the Master’s role in the story went to Davros.
