NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 273: "Utopia" Is Up!

 
"Chan--Professor, please--tho!"
"That is not my name! 'The Professor' was an invention. So perfect a disguise that I forgot who I am."
"Chan--Then who are you--tho?"
"I...am...The Master..."
-- Chantho and the Fifth Master, Doctor Who: "Utopia"

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 discuss "Utopia", the eleventh episode from Doctor Who Series Three in 2007, featuring David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones, and the introductions of Sir Derek Jacobi and John Simm as the Fifth and Sixth Masters!

In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like my feedback for Jesse and Christine's House of the Dragon podcast, director Graeme Harper, Freema Agyeman looking like she has a painting somewhere like The Portrait of Dorian Gray, why we're reviewing "Utopia" as a standalone episode instead of as Part 1 of a trilogy, the Futurekind being rubbish, my joy at seeing a modern Doctor Who episode set in a quarry, Captain Jack Harkness riding the outside of the TARDIS all the way to the end of the universe, Sir Derek Jacobi reprising his role as the War Master for Big Finish Productions, Derek Jacobi as the Android Master in the webcast story Doctor Who: Scream of the Shalka, Fox refusing permission for the use of an audio clip from Eric Robert's Master in the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie, Professor Yana's costume being inspired by the First Doctor's outfit, where "Utopia" falls in the Captain Jack timeline, 9-year-old John Bell winning a Blue Peter competition to play the role of Creet, the Tenth Doctor being that guy who quickly presses the Door Close button on an elevator to prevent someone from entering, the Tenth Doctor being a dick to Captain Jack Harkness, Martha calling out the Doctor for moving onto the next companion and quickly forgetting about the previous one, the Doctor and Jack finally having a conversation about his becoming an immortal, the Doctor finally telling Jack what happened to Rose after "The Parting of the Ways", Jesse being shocked that sweet Professor Yana became the Master, Jesse finally seeing the flaws with how Martha was written as a character by RTD, Martha realizing that Professor Yana had a Gallifreyan fob watch just like the Doctor's, the Master murdering poor Chantho, the Fifth Master regenerating his body into a younger form to be just like the Doctor, the Fifth Master being pissed that Chantho killed him, my wishing that Derek Jacobi had continued as the Master instead of regenerating into John Simm's, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new feedback from Holly Mac, the report that Philip Segal was in negotiations with Leonard Nimoy to direct the 1996 TV Movie, the Doctor Who connections to the movie From Hell, my story "The Midnight Hour" for DC Comics' Terrors Through Time anthology, the return of the Paternoster Gang in "The Crimson Horror", still waiting for the BBC to announce the  premiere date for "The Power of the Doctor", and more!
