NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 157: "Vengeance on Varos" Is Up!

"Why should you want to help me?"
"You're the only person we've encountered so far who hasn't tried to destroy us."
-- Jondar and the Sixth Doctor, Doctor Who: "Vengeance on Varos"

Hello again, everyone!  Special guest companion Rachel Frend from The Five(ish) Fangirls Podcast joins me on Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast to discuss "Vengeance on Varos", the second serial of Doctor Who Series 22 in 1985, featuring Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor and Nicola Bryant as Peri Brown, and introducing Nabil Shaban as Sil!

In this episode, Rachel and I discuss things like Rachel blaming Holly for giving her another podcast to listen to, Rachel's background with Doctor Who and Colin Baker's Sixth Doctor being her favorite Doctor, why Rachel finds the Sixth Doctor so appealing, the final script of "Vengeance on Varos" being much darker than originally intended, wondering why the Sixth Doctor and Peri travel together with so much antagonism toward one another, Peri not getting much to do in the story, the Sixth Doctor not being above violence, the Doctor taking his time to save Peri and Areta from transmogrifier, Varos' horrible treatment of women, Arak wanting to be entertained with violence while Etta buys completely into the authoritarian regime, Arak having to watch himself around Etta, "Vengeance on Varos" being very relevant to today's political climate, Sil being completely irredeemably horrible, Nabil Shaban's problems with his Sil costume, Sil's unsettling S&M henchmen, the Governor's struggle just to survive, our favorite quotes of the episode, the really slow golf cart transport vehicle, Rachel appreciating the Sixth Doctor's posterior, two Reverse the Reverse the Polarity segments, new feedback from Holly Mac and David K. Proctor, and more!
