| 5/9/26 | Time’s New Romans (Rebooting "The Pandorica Opens” and “The Big Bang") | It’s the end of the universe as Moffat knows it, and somehow we feel fine. The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang two-parter throws every monster in the closet at Stonehenge, locks the Doctor in the most mythic box since the TARDIS, shoots Amy, explodes reality, gives Rory 2,000 years of plastic husband duty, and then fixes everything with a wedding phrase. Does it all make sense? Frequently! Does it cheat? Occasionally! Does it still make Team PTO cry happy tears? Like Karen Gillan reading the deepest-blue terms and conditions. Join us as we salute Matt Smith yelling at spaceships, interrogate Moffat’s monster fan service, ponder whether Sutekh got rebooted with the TARDIS, and ask whether this fairy-tale finale is really as good as we remember.Give your own rating for The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang on Spotify!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel and become a True Companion of the podcast to get new episodes before everyone else!Subscribe to our newsletter at pulltoopen.net for extended notes on The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang.Support the podcast by becoming a patron of Pull To Open on Patreon.Please review Pull To Open on Apple Podcasts.Timeline:Intro 00:00:00Previously… 00:02:12Whomoji Challenge 00:12:27POLL To Open 00:15:39Comment of the Week 00:17:56TL;DW 00:24:11Review: The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang 00:27:39Four Questions to Doomsday 01:02:20What If the Evil Plot Had Succeeded? 01:06:17Where Is the Clara Splinter? 01:12:45Final Judgment 01:19:44Randomizer! 01:24:24Follow us on:TikTok: @pulltoopenInstagram: @pulltoopen63Facebook: @pulltoopen63X: @pulltoopen63Threads: @pulltoopen63Bluesky: @pulltoopenPlay Pull To Open BingoStory EssentialsSeries 5, Episodes 12 & 13Story number: 215, per the The Pull To Open CodexWriter: Steven MoffatDirector: Toby HaynesScript Editor: Lindsey AlfordProducer: Peter BennettExecutive Producers: Steven Moffat, Piers Wenger and Beth WillisAired 19–26 June 2010Pull To Open: The Pandorica Opens | The Big BangSeason 7Episode 10Hosts: Pete Pachal and Chris TaylorMusic: Martin West/Thinking Fish©️AnyWho Media LLC 2026Doctor Who ©️BBC 1963 | — | ||||||

| 12/6/25 | Invasion on 34th Street (Speciating “Daleks in Manhattan” and “Evolution of the Daleks”) | What happens when the Daleks land in 1930s New York and start questioning who they are? You get one of Doctor Who’s strangest detours for a marquee monster, where the Cult of Skaro grapples with ambition, identity, and a makeover ambitious enough for a Broadway musical. We dig into how Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks blend showbiz sparkle with Hooverville grit, why Dalek Sec’s big evolutionary leap still resonates, and how a story filled with showgirls, pig slaves, and lightning-powered science ends up delivering some of the most intriguing self-reflection the Daleks have ever attempted.Give your own rating for Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks on Spotify!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel and become a True Companion of the podcast to get new episodes before everyone else!Subscribe to our newsletter at pulltoopen.net for extended notes on Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks.Support the podcast by becoming a patron of Pull To Open on Patreon.Please review Pull To Open on Apple Podcasts.Timeline:Intro 00:00:00Previously… 00:01:56Whomoji Challenge 00:07:59POLL to Open 00:12:49TL;DW 00:18:09Commentary: Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks 21:25:19History Corner 01:02:50Four Questions to Doomsday 01:07:05What If the Evil Plot Had Succeeded? 01:14:22Where Is the Clara Splinter? 01:17:09Final Judgment 01:21:38Randomizer! 01:31:15Follow us on:TikTok: @pulltoopenInstagram: @pulltoopen63Facebook: @pulltoopen63X: @pulltoopen63Threads: @pulltoopen63Bluesky: @pulltoopenPlay Pull To Open BingoStory EssentialsSeries 3, Episodes 4 and 5Story number: 185, per the The Pull To Open CodexWriter: Helen RaynorDirector: James StrongShowrunner: Russell T.

| 11/22/25 | Space: 1969 (Energizing “The Space Pirates”) | Ahoy, space scallywags! This week the Randomizer maroons us in The Space Pirates, the six-part “epic” so padded it should come with its own flotation device. Join us as we navigate Argonite economics, Star Trek knockoff vibes, Clancy's comedy moustache, a CEO who is definitely up to something, and a TARDIS crew who spends most of the story confused, kidnapped, or both. Is this Bob Holmes’ secret experiment? A proto–frontier-in-space? Or simply the BBC showing off their 1969 model shop?

| 11/8/25 | Doctor, Octopus (Filleting “The Power of Kroll”) | Doctor Who’s biggest monster gets his due—or does he? The Randomizer drops us into The Power of Kroll, the soggiest segment of the Key to Time season, where the squid is supersized but the stakes… maybe not so much. Join us as we wade through methane, musical glass-shattering, suspicious swampies, and the curious absence of K9.

| 10/25/25 | The Martians (Chilling “The Ice Warriors”) | It’s the second Ice Age and Britannicus Base is under siege—by glaciers, bureaucracy, and a hissy Martian warlord with grabby hands. Join us as we dig into The Ice Warriors, the monster debut that screams “classic” but quietly whispers “fix me.” Are the Warriors even wearing armor? How does Jamie know Shakespeare? And did humanity really get rid of all the plants? The Randomizer serves us a slow-burn base-under-siege with a plot twist that feels… scientifically questionable. But we’re here for Penley’s beard, Clent’s drama, and Victoria’s HR complaint. Also: there's a bear.

| 10/11/25 | Wolf Clan (Metamorphosing “Tooth and Claw”) | We are amused. Even Queen Victoria couldn’t keep a straight face through this lycanthropic slice of Tennant-era mayhem. Tooth and Claw is a kung-fu-kicking, wolf-howl-screaming, Torchwood-originating slice of steampunk nonsense, and honestly? It rules. The TARDIS misses Ian Dury and lands in the middle of an accidental backdoor pilot for Torchwood—with kung fu monks (???), an anti-wolf diamond laser, and a Queen who just wants these grinning time travelers gone. Does it all hold up? Sort of. Does it matter? Not really. Werewolves are real, the monarchy may be cursed, and Rose just might be the Bad Wolf again. Join us as we karate-chop our way through one of the wildest RTD-era monsters-of-the-week and explore why Queen Vic is the real final boss.Give your own rating for Tooth and Claw on Spotify!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel and become a True Companion of the podcast to get new episodes before everyone else!Subscribe to our newsletter at pulltoopen.net for extended notes on Tooth and Claw.Support the podcast by becoming a patron of Pull To Open on Patreon.Please review Pull To Open on Apple Podcasts.Timeline:Intro 00:00:00Previously… 00:01:59Whomoji Challenge 00:06:49POLL to Open 00:14:57TL;DW 00:22:22Commentary: Tooth and Claw 00:24:16History Corner 00:53:17Four Questions to Doomsday 01:02:29What If the Evil Plot Had Succeeded? 01:06:17Where Is the Clara Splinter 01:11:14Final Judgment 01:17:39Randomizer! 01:22:19Follow us on:TikTok: @pulltoopenInstagram: @pulltoopen63Facebook: @pulltoopen63X: @pulltoopen63Threads: @pulltoopen63Bluesky: @pulltoopenPlay Pull To Open BingoStory EssentialsSeries 2, Episode 2Story number: 172, per the The Pull To Open CodexWriter: Russell T.

| 9/27/25 | Planet Mirth (Delighting “The Happiness Patrol”) | Doctor Who gets political, camp, and candy-coated all at once in The Happiness Patrol. On Terra Alpha, Helen A rules with a smile—and a gun—while her confectionary executioner, The Candy Man, dishes out death by fondant. Pete and Chris dive into this neon-noir dystopia, unpack the not-so-subtle Thatcher parallels, and debate whether Sylvester McCoy’s most infamous outing is biting satire, glorious camp, or both.

| 9/14/25 | Island Chat (Interviews from Long Island Who 2025) | What’s it like to work on Doctor Who and Torchwood when you’re not in the spotlight—but still right there among the monsters, costumes, and chaos? In this very special live episode recorded at Long Island Who, Pete and Chris chat with two veterans of the Whoniverse: Mickey Lewis, a monster actor and novelist with stories to spare (including some very punk-rock prose the BBC might not approve of), and Amy Benedict, a Hollywood mainstay whose time on Torchwood: Miracle Day gave her a fresh outsider’s perspective on the show’s darker corners. From Dalek mishaps to John Barrowman pranks-that-weren’t, this is Doctor Who behind the masks, gloves, and prosthetics—where candor meets fandom.Pull To Open: Interviews from Long Island Who 2025Season 6Episode 25Hosts: Pete Pachal and Chris Taylor | — | ||||||
| 8/30/25 | Master of the Moment (Ingesting “The Time Monster”) | TOMTIT jokes. Chronovores. Diapers. That one time the Doctor ran interference with a cork and a fork. Welcome to The Time Monster — a Pertwee six-parter that throws everything into the vortex, including Atlantis, bird gods, and a TARDIS nesting doll. Is this Jon Pertwee’s “so bad it’s good” masterpiece? Or just a cautionary tale about letting the Master go full academia? We try to make sense of the nonsense, analyze why the Master needs to chill with the bird metaphors, and launch a bold theory: Clara Oswald is Kronos.

| 8/16/25 | Rex and the City (Regressing “Invasion of the Dinosaurs”) | Dinosaurs in Doctor Who? Always a risky proposition—especially when they’re on a BBC budget in 1974. Invasion of the Dinosaurs tries to roar, but often just… stands there looking sleepy. Still, there’s more to this six-parter than claymation T-rexes. Sarah Jane gets her best early outing as a journalist, UNIT is (mostly) back together, and Mike Yates makes a shocking heel turn. Add in Operation Golden Age, one of Classic Who’s most bonkers conspiracies, and you’ve got a story that’s as much political paranoia as prehistoric spectacle. Just don’t expect Jurassic Park.

| 8/2/25 | Mission Creep (Silencing "The Impossible Astronaut" and "Day of the Moon") | Memory, manipulation, and moon landings collide in one of the most audacious season openers in Doctor Who history. In The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon, Steven Moffat unleashes the Silence — a monster so terrifying, you forget them the moment you look away — and dares viewers to keep up with a non-linear plot packed with space-suited children, timey-wimey double Doctors, and a shockingly competent Nixon. But does all the complexity serve the story, or is it storytelling gymnastics for its own sake? The team digs into Moffat’s high-wire act of serialization, the emotional weight behind Amy's and River's connections with the Doctor, and how forgetting may be the most frightening concept of all.Give your own rating for The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon on Spotify!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel and become a True Companion of the podcast to get new episodes before everyone else!Subscribe to our newsletter at pulltoopen.net for extended notes on The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon.Support the podcast by becoming a patron of Pull To Open on Patreon.Please review Pull To Open on Apple Podcasts.Timeline:Intro 00:00:00Previously… 00:01:52Whomoji Challenge 00:08:00Poll to Open 00:13:51TL;DW 00:21:14Commentary: The Impossible Astronaut | Day of the Moon 00:24:07History Corner 00:43:04Four Questions to Doomsday 01:06:16What If the Evil Plot Had Succeeded? 01:11:05Where Is the Clara Splinter? 01:16:23Final Judgment 01:19:37Randomizer! 01:26:16Follow us on:TikTok: @pulltoopenInstagram: @pulltoopen63Facebook: @pulltoopen63X: @pulltoopen63Threads: @pulltoopen63Bluesky: @pulltoopenPlay Pull To Open BingoStory EssentialsSeries 6, Episodes 1 & 2Story number: 217, per the The Pull To Open CodexWriters: Steven MoffatDirector: Toby HaynesShowrunner: Steven MoffatAired 23–30 April 2011Pull To Open: The Impossible Astronaut | Day of the MoonSeason 6Episode 22Hosts: Pete Pachal and Chris TaylorMusic: Martin West/Thinking Fish©️AnyWho Media LLC 2025Doctor Who ©️BBC 1963 | — | ||||||

From reshoots and reality wars to Billie Piper’s surprise return and Disney’s uncertain handshake, we dive deep into what worked (hello, 73 Yards), what didn’t (Robot Revolution, anyone?), and whether Doctor Who got too much sugar in its tea this time around.

| 7/5/25 | Playing It School (Sweeping “The Caretaker”) | When the Twelfth Doctor trades the TARDIS for a mop at Coal Hill School, awkwardness is bound to follow. Join us as we revisit The Caretaker, an episode packed with high-stakes parent-teacher nights, questionable robot threats, and a love triangle that quickly goes off the rails. Can Clara balance dating Danny Pink and running down corridors with the Doctor? And is Peter Capaldi’s cantankerous caretaker disguise fooling anyone? Even Courtney? Ring the school bell—class with Pull To Open is officially in session.Give your own rating for The Caretaker on Spotify!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel and become a True Companion of the podcast to get new episodes before everyone else!Subscribe to our newsletter at pulltoopen.net for extended notes on The Caretaker.Support the podcast by becoming a patron of Pull To Open on Patreon.Please review Pull To Open on Apple Podcasts.Timeline:Intro 00:00:00Previously… 00:02:14Whomoji Challenge 00:05:02Poll to Open 00:11:19TL;DW 00:17:31Commentary: The Caretaker 00:18:57Four Questions to Doomsday 00:53:25What If the Evil Plot Had Succeeded? 00:56:22Where Is the Clara Splinter? 01:02:55Final Judgment 01:07:18Randomizer! 01:12:58Follow us on:TikTok: @pulltoopenInstagram: @pulltoopen63Facebook: @pulltoopen63X: @pulltoopen63Threads: @pulltoopen63Bluesky: @pulltoopenPlay Pull To Open BingoStory EssentialsSeries 8, Episode 6Story number: 250, per the The Pull To Open CodexWriters: Gareth Roberts, Steven MoffatDirector: Paul MurphyShowrunner: Steven MoffatAired 27 September 2014Pull To Open: The CaretakerSeason 6Episode 20Hosts: Pete Pachal and Chris TaylorMusic: Martin West/Thinking Fish©️AnyWho Media LLC 2025Doctor Who ©️BBC 1963 | — | ||||||
| 6/21/25 | Nothing but Double (Replicating “The Android Invasion”) | Terry Nation returns! But not with Daleks — this time it’s androids, clones, and possibly the most ill-advised eyepatch in Who history. The Randomizer has pulled us into The Android Invasion, a UNIT-adjacent tale with a suspiciously quiet pub, some surprisingly trigger-happy fingers, and a plan so convoluted, it makes a Moffat finale look grounded. Join us as we unravel a story where the twist is that the twist is obvious, Tom Baker takes a dive, and Liz Sladen’s face falls off — literally. If you’ve ever dreamed of a Doctor Who/Stepford Wives crossover filmed in a quaint British village, this one’s for you.Give your own rating for The Android Invasion on Spotify!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel and become a True Companion of the podcast to get new episodes before everyone else!Subscribe to our newsletter at pulltoopen.net for extended notes on The Android Invasion.Support the podcast by becoming a patron of Pull To Open on Patreon.Please review Pull To Open on Apple Podcasts.Timeline:IIntro 00:00:00Previously… 00:02:24Whomoji Challenge 00:07:25Poll to Open 00:15:59TL;DW 00:21:46Commentary: The Android Invasion 00:24:36Four Questions to Doomsday 01:07:52What If the Evil Plot Had Succeeded? 01:13:03Where Is the Clara Splinter 01:18:08Final Judgment 01:21:50Randomizer! 01:27:30Follow us on:TikTok: @pulltoopenInstagram: @pulltoopen63Facebook: @pulltoopen63X: @pulltoopen63Threads: @pulltoopen63Bluesky: @pulltoopenPlay Pull To Open BingoStory EssentialsSeason 9, Serial 2Story number: 82, per the The Pull To Open CodexWriter: Terry NationDirector: Barry LettsScript editor: Robert HolmesProducer: Philip HinchcliffeAired 22 November–13 December 1975Pull To Open: The Android InvasionSeason 6Episode 19Hosts: Pete Pachal and Chris TaylorMusic: Martin West/Thinking Fish©️AnyWho Media LLC 2025Doctor Who ©️BBC 1963 | — | ||||||
