Special Chris Chibnall Interview

Doctor Who: Five Years Rapid

Our very own Joy Piedmont got to speak to none other than the most recent showrunner of Doctor Who, Chris Chibnall! Please enjoy this intimate conversation about his entire regime, his writing process, and some insight into some of the decisions he made.

The Big Wrap-Up Episode

Doctor Who: Five Years Rapid

And we've come to the end of Five Years Rapid, which is what we'll call season 1 of a Doctor Who podcast from Kyle and Joy. (More on that later.) In this final FYR, we give you our top 5 and bottom 3 stories, our Senior Superlatives, and try to summarize the Third Doctor era as succinctly as possible. As you can see, it's our longest ever episode.

24 - Planet of the Spiders

Doctor Who: Five Years Rapid

It's the end...but the moment has been prepared for. Wait, no, that's a different final story. We did it! We have come to the end of the five year that have indeed been rapid. Joy and Kyle discuss "Planet of the Spiders," a beloved story that has a lot to recommend it...and a lot of not great stuff too. Like, more that people like to remember. Let's get in to it! A tear, Sarah Jane?

Episode 23 - The Monster of Peladon

Doctor Who: Five Years Rapid

For our penultimate Pertwee story, we look at *checks notes* wait, is this right? "The Monster of Peladon?" Well, I guess if we have to.

Episode 22 - Death to the Daleks

Doctor Who: Five Years Rapid

Third to last story for the Third Doctor and it's the third of his Dalek stories. Ermahgerd, Derlerks.

Episode 21 - Invasion of the Dinosaurs

Doctor Who: Five Years Rapid

Our final Malcolm Hulke story is an oft-maligned but undeservedly so. "Invasion of the Dinosaurs" has intrigue, politics, weird sci-fi ideals, Sarah Jane being absolutely awesome, a dramatic turn for Mike Yates, and the Doctor's best jacket. Yes, and some cruddy looking dinosaur puppets too. What're you gonna do?

Episode 20 - The Time Warrior

Doctor Who: Five Years Rapid

It's the beginning of the end. Sad face. Our journey through the Third Doctor's reign begins its inevitable march toward the finish. But at least we have a really fun one to talk about --- "The Time Warrior!" Written by Robert Holmes, this story introduces the Sontarans, the word Gallifrey, and most importantly, brand new companion, the amazing Sarah Jane Smith!

Episode 19 - The Green Death w/ Sage Young

Doctor Who: Five Years Rapid

We finish up another season of the Third Doctor with a beloved classic, "The Green Death." And who better to join us for a discussion into Jo Grant's final story than returning champion Sage Young?! We get into maggots, miners, and meet-cutes in this truly legendary Doctor Who story.

18 - Planet of the Daleks

Doctor Who: Five Years Rapid

This month...well, it is. Kyle and Joy talk about "Planet of the Daleks," the also-ran of season 10. It's pretty boring, AND it has bad gender politics. But at least Pertwee and Manning have good costumes.

Episode 17 - Frontier in Space

Doctor Who: Five Years Rapid

It's the new year! Finally, 2020 is no more, and Kyle and Joy have a great story to discuss for you all. It's "Frontier in Space," the beginning of a would-be Dalek epic, but...not. They discuss the political nature of the story, the Draconian culture, and say farewell to Roger Delgado's Master.
