Refueling the Controller is incomprehensible. And it could have been easily papered over if they just write the scene slightly differently. We talk about it a bit in the pod

When listening to @pulltoopen.bsky.social's ep on Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror, I was as surprised as they were to remember that there was an alien monster in this ep! Is this a key fault of the Whitaker era generally? Some interesting thoughts!

Quite the take. We point out some of the holes in the pod. What actions specifically do you think the Doctor should be ashamed of?

I appreciate how diligent @pulltoopen.bsky.social were in finding the good intentions behind Underworld. BUT I have to judge what's on screen, & it's still my pick for worst classic story of DW! Chief Ogron ranking! But yes, the Time Lord idea is interesting. But WTF *are* the Seers meant to be?!

Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror has the makings of a great historical: one of history’s weirdest geniuses, a superb Goran Višnjić performance, and bug-like alien baddies. But the sparks never quite make the jump. YouTube: youtu.be/K7TF2mnplek Podcast: open.spotify.com/epi...

@pulltoopen.bsky.social covers one of my ABSOLUTE favourites & I loved the conversation, because they get it! Plus, it has one of THE single greatest cliffhangers! My Viscount Bangor rating is a lock!

I think the @pulltoopen.bsky.social listener ratings for Let's Kill Hitler are fair. Like a lot of Moffat, you either really get it, or you really don't. It's a very niche concept and tone. Also, nice to hear @petepachal.bsky.social & I on the same page on Troughtons with Tomb and Evil!

Cold War is a ep I've seen 2-3 times, but remember very little about, other than it having 3 Dukes of Edinburgh! So @pulltoopen.bsky.social do a very good job of assessing why that is! Also VERY excited for their next ep... a personal fave of mine!

A thorough exploration of The Dæmons on @pulltoopen.bsky.social including a proper consideration of how the science vs magic stuff really comes off in the story! And some appropriate love for the Delgado!

Doctor Who’s Cold War has the perfect pitch: an Ice Warrior wakes up aboard a nuclear submarine in 1983. So why does it feel less like The Hunt for Red October with a Martian and more like an ordinary Doctor Who episode? YouTube: youtu.be/9SALEgZNFQs Spotify: open.spotify.com/epi...

I remember watching Let's Kill Hitler, & at this exact moment deciding it was time I break up with DW for a bit. @pulltoopen.bsky.social cover it in their latest ep, & whilst I'm not convinced, their comments to remind me I need to go back to the Smith era sometime & give it another go.

There's about 15 mins of The Big Bang I think are brilliant, but the rest of the 2-parter leaves me utterly baffled, with too many "wanky Smith speeches". But @pulltoopen.bsky.social covered these eps with such enthusiasm maybe I'll have to get it another try sometime soon!

Doctor Who fans have long feared Fear Her—and not necessarily for the reasons the episode intended. But what if the scariest thing about Fear Her is that it’s… kind of fine? YouTube: youtu.be/eqjonO0yvog Podcast: open.spotify.com/epi...

I know people who have this in their top 10, but it's never clicked for me. Lots of ideas I like, some good design, a couple of GREAT performances (& some bad ones... TP) but doesn't come together for me. If ever there was a Prof Hayter score @pulltoopen.bsky.social, GSITG is it for me!

I've often wrestled with how to assess The Leisure Hive, so was interesting to hear @pulltoopen.bsky.social grappling with it as well! So many great aspects, but is it a fun & engaging story? Hmmm not so sure. In the end some thoughtful conclusions from them!

The Leisure Hive should be a relaxing holiday: a beachside opening and Lalla Ward dressed like she just won regatta season. Instead, we find a story with enough ideas for three serials and enough pacing for half of one. Podcast: open.spotify.com/epi... YouTube: youtu.be/4udTpCKwBhY

Not as good as Silurians, & I think @pulltoopen.bsky.social is right that it lacks the texture with the Sea Devils/characters/plot that Silurians has. Another harsh rating of a Pertwee story from @futureboy.bsky.social! Almost agree with @petepachal.bsky.social; I like eps 1/2/5/6! A Dalek from me.

September 7, 1987: a date that lives in Doctor Who infamy—at least for Chris, who rage-quit the show the moment Time and the Rani introduced the Seventh Doctor. But is the story a disaster, or a pivotal disaster? YouTube: youtu.be/5Fb_IQHnwdk Spotify: open.spotify.com/epi...
