One mini-break in the wilderness is over for Doctor Who and it’s time to look at the gap year that was as we head into the next wilderness mini-break, awaiting Matt Smith’s first series. To aid in the retrospective the Three Who Rule dragged Tachyon TV’s own Neil Perryman kicking and screaming into the (virtual) recording booth, Vinvocci style. More bile was flung about than a monkey can fling poop, though kudos were given where appropriate… but do we ever want to see a gap year again?
To refute all of your comments about the US kids not being into Doctor Who and Sci Fi – at the Pinewood Derby (cub scout race) this past week we had a Enterprise want to be and the ship from Red Dwarf.
Almost all the parents in my corner of the room were discussing the End of Time and the upcoming season!
And 2 kids were discussing just how to build a Tardis for next year that would not be top heavy!…..
Yeah, we all legitimately feel bad about how much we dumped on it and how grumpy we came across in #176. We’re planning to look at the positives of the RTD era in the next episode to reset the balance a bit.
Thanks for the treat guys – Neil is a lot of fun to listen to!

I thought this Cracked.com piece on insane fan theories that explain nonsense endings might be a good companion to the discussions from ep 176.

Wow. Another hour and a half of how much you dislike Doctor Who. How thrilling. Thank you for the one or two (albeit brief) positive points you made.
Hi Americas Hat,

Hey guys, just want to say I really enjoyed this episode. Seemed like Neil’s presence really energized the group. One of my favorite eps so far!
Hey chaps, Thanks for the mention re Monster of Peladon podcast vid!
