Some stories upgrade the villains. This one upgrades everything. We venture to Pete’s World to face the stompiest reintroduction of a classic foe in Rise of the Cybermen and The Age of Steel.

A very interesting @pulltoopen.bsky.social on The Highlanders!
Covered all the good & weird parts of the story!
Agree with Chris this time - a Fixed Dalek in time from me!

And in my quest to visit the settings of all '60s Historicals, here's me on Culloden in 2023.

It’s the Second Doctor’s second story, and he’s already cross-dressing, bashing heads, and doing the worst German accent this side of Oktoberfest. The Highlanders is a much stranger story than you might think.

The guys at @pulltoopen.bsky.social did a great job talking about my all time favourite story!
Really pulled out all the great aspects of the concept & the script, whilst fairly noting some of the production issues.
Check it out!

My mission is now to ensure it's rated a Viscount Banger!

Season 7 of Pull To Open begins where all great potholing expeditions do: deep underground. It's The Silurians, the only story bold enough to put “Doctor Who” in the title and end in the darkest way possible.

Long before Skynet, the British Post Office built its own murderbot. In The War Machines, a supercomputer called WOTAN tries to conquer the world by constructing clunky Dalek knockoffs. And honestly? It almost works.

This week the Randomizer maroons us in The Space Pirates, the six-part “epic” so padded it should come with its own flotation device. Is this Bob Holmes’ secret experiment to recreate the worst parts of Star Trek?

The Randomizer drops us at The Power of Kroll, the soggiest segment of the Key to Time, where the squid is supersized but the stakes… maybe not so much. But is Bob Holmes’ least favorite script really that bad?

It’s the 2nd Ice Age and Britannicus Base is under siege—by glaciers, bureaucracy, and a hissy Martian warlord. Let's dig into The Ice Warriors, the monster debut that screams “classic” but whispers “fix me.”

We are amused. Even Queen Victoria couldn’t keep a straight face through this lycanthropic slice of Tennant-era mayhem. Tooth and Claw rules. Join us as we explore why Queen Vic is the real final boss.
