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.
Come one, come all to The Greatest Show in the Galaxy—where the audience kills, the clowns are robots, and the Doctor is close to becoming one himself. Grab your popcorn and keep your hands inside the clown car at all times.

Five years, 160 stories, one increasingly suspicious Randomizer. Pull To Open has reached the exact midpoint of its mad dash through all of Doctor Who, so Pete and Chris are taking a break from the usual TL;DW chaos to ask the big questions.

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?

The Sea Devils should be an all-timer: the Master returns, the Navy shows up, and the monsters are iconic. And yet… it falls short of the bar set by The Silurians. Strap on your string vest: we’re going deep on this one.

Pull To Open goes on location! Pete and Chris hit Gallifrey One in LA for a convention floor vibe check where fans tell us where Doctor Who goes next, including the boldest pitch of all: put it on YouTube

Apologies for missing our regular upload. We've been busy assembling all our footage from Gallifrey One and are excited to share with you all a special episode on Saturday, Feb. 21.
In the meantime, please enjoy this selection of pics from the show!
Sorry, we're behind! Gallifrey One threw us through a time loop. Back next week!
A good @pulltoopen.bsky.social on Rise Cybermen/Age Steel! But they were WAY more generous than I would be!
I can't get past Roger Lloyd Pack's performance, & I think everyone being dragged to be converted rather than *choosing* to be converted misses the point.
But liked hearing the positive take!
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.
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.

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.

Nice! Listen to the pod? Would love to know what you think
Thanks to @petepachal.bsky.social for the @pulltoopen.bsky.social shout out to @thedwshow.net! Nice to know we're all fans of season 7!
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?
