Episode 100: Wait, Not Like That! (Planet of Evil)

We’re off to the edges of the known universe in a quest for a new power source, as we discuss Planet of Evil! And, oh dear! Season 13 started SO WELL last episode, and (spoilers) goes downhill SO quickly this time around. Le sigh. At least the music’s on point this time around…   Along the way, Julie declares a strong dislike for all men whose names start with the letter “s”; Don explains why if he could re-make any Doctor Who story, it would be this one; Reilly expresses concerns over the mismatch between the sets and the tone; and something went wrong with Anthony’s original recording, and he had to overdub almost all of his dialogue, much like the jungle scenes in this story. The entire team spends the entire episode absolutely slating this serial.   If you would like to watch along with us, this entire season is available for streaming at both Britbox US (https://www.britbox.com) and Britbox UK (https://www.britbox.co.uk).
