NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 188: "Attack of the Cybermen" Is Up!


"Who are you?"
"I've already told you.  I am known as the Doctor.  I'm also a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous."
"You're bonkers."
"That's debatable."
-- Russell and the Sixth Doctor, Doctor Who: "Attack of the Cybermen"

Hello again, everyone!  My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back with another new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast!  This time, we discuss "Attack of the Cybermen", the first serial from Doctor Who Season 22 in 1985, featuring Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor, Nicola Bryant as Peri Brown, and the return of Maurice Colbourne as Gustave Lytton and David Banks as the Cyber Leader!

In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like Jesse and I both being Geminis, Colin Baker fan Rachel Frend not being eager to discuss "Attack of the Cybermen", Jesse meeting Colin and Nicola without having seen any of their Doctor Who episodes, shaking my fist at the universe, Lytton's first name, Terry Molloy as Russell the undercover cop, David Banks playing the Doctor briefly in the stage play Doctor Who: The Ultimate Adventure, Season 22 adopting the modern 45-minute episode format, the creepy Cryons with a fondness for bubble wrap, '80s Cybermen being a bit emotional, the two Telos prisoners' story going absolutely nowhere, the controversy of who writer "Paula Moore" actually is, Jesse getting a co-worker hooked on Doctor Who, the Sixth Doctor finally repairing the TARDIS' Chameleon Circuit, Jesse being distracted by Colin Baker's costume, Peri finally getting to wear something besides low-cut spandex and shorts, the Doctor's love of hats, Big Finish redeeming the Sixth Doctor, the TARDIS returning to 76 Totter's Lane, the Doctor telling Peri to shoot Russell, the Doctor using a gun to kill Cybermen, Lytton working with the Cryons, the Doctor regretting his misjudgment of Lytton, Flast sacrificing herself to kill a few Cybermen, the Doctor being manipulated by the Time Lords yet again, the overweight Cyber-Controller with a mohawk helmet, talking the good and bad of Doctor Who, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Reverse the Polarity segment, new feedback from Holly Mac and David K. Proctor, my thanks to everyone for their birthday wishes, and more!
