NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 209: "Aliens of London" Is Up!

 
"Well, you can stay here if you want.  But right now, there's this plasma storm brewing in the Horsehead Nebula.  Fires are burning ten million miles wide.  I could fly the TARDIS right into the heart of it, then ride the shock wave all the way out, hurtle right across the sky and end up...anywhere.  Your choice."
-- The Ninth Doctor to Rose Tyler, Doctor Who: "World War Three"

Hello again, everyone!  My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back with a new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast!  This time, we're joined by special guest companion DJ Nik from Gold Standard: The Oscars Podcast to discuss "Aliens of London/World War Three", the fourth and fifth episodes of Doctor Who Series One from 2005, featuring Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor, Billie Piper as Rose Tyler, the return of Noel Clarke as Mickey Smith and Camille Coduri as Jackie Tyler, and the first appearances of the Slitheen, Dame Penelope Wilton as Harriet Jones, Annette Badland as Margaret Blaine, and Naoko Mori as Toshiko Sato!

In this episode, Jesse, Nik and I discuss things like people in Lake Charles giving zero fucks about COVID-19, Nik taking a bullet by volunteering for this story, Christopher Eccleston's autobiography, Christopher Eccleston talking to sports radio guys about The Leftovers, Jesse appreciating fart jokes and juvenile humor, this story being a better fit for The Sarah Jane Adventures than Doctor Who, original plans for the dead Prime Minister to be Tony Blair, the real-life United Nations forcing Doctor Who to change UNIT's name from United Nations Intelligence Taskforce to Unified Intelligence Taskforce, Nik loving Billie Piper as a pop music star, the London police targeting Mickey as the suspected murderer of Rose, the awkward moment when Rose learns she's been gone from Earth for twelve months instead of twelve minutes, the Ninth Doctor being a total dick to Mickey, Mickey being more loyal to Rose than Jackie is, Russell T Davies bringing Tosh over to Torchwood, wondering why Tosh never told Captain Jack that she met the Doctor, the Slitheen's plan to turn Earth radioactive with a nuclear war and sell chunks of it to use as fuel for alien spaceships, wondering how the Slitheen turn human skin into costumes, wondering how Margaret survived the explosion that killed all the other Slitheen, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new feedback from Holly Mac and Dave Proctor, my wanting everyone to check out my new podcast with Xan Sprouse, Drunk Cinema, and more!
