Doom With a View (Orbiting “The Impossible Planet” and “The Satan Pit,” with guest Ellie Blackwood)
Pull To Open - En podkast av Pete Pachal and Chris Taylor - Lørdager

Doctor Who meets God. No, that’s dumb, and besides — Star Trek already did it. But Doctor Who meets the Devil? That could be something, especially if you keep the precise identity of the antagonist opaque, blow up the stakes with a cosmological Rube Goldberg machine, and generally make the whole thing creepy as, uh, hell. The two-parter of The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit ticks all of those boxes and includes a bonus: the Ood, one of NuWho’s most indomitable monsters in more ways than one. But what really makes this outing memorable is the deep sense of isolation, helped by plopping our characters across the street from a black hole. But how “impossible” is that exactly, and does what’s happening on screen have anything to do with the real universe? Good thing we’ve got a guest astrophysics expert to help us come to grips with the mavity of the situation. Pull To Open welcomes Ellie Blackwood (@looseleafellie on TikTok) to the podcast!
