NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 301: "The Star Beast" Is Up!

 
"But I still don't get it. The TARDIS can change, all right, but...what about your face? Why did it come back?"
"Does there have to be a reason?"
"With your life? Yes!"
-- Donna Noble and the Fourteenth Doctor, Doctor Who: "The Star Beast"

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 DJ Nik to discuss "The Star Beast", the first Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Special, featuring David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor, Catherine Tate as Donna Noble, Yasmin Finney as Rose Noble, and Miriam Margolyes as the voice of Beep the Meep!

In this episode, Jesse, Nik and I discuss things like Jesse's Texas Rangers winning the World Series right after we recorded Episode 300, Nik joining us for the 60th Anniversary Specials, Donna and Rose's favorite musical, finally getting a new episode after an entire year, our initial reactions to the return of Doctor Who under Russell T Davies, my love of the new opening credits and less love for the closing theme arrangement, some comics background on the original 1980 comic serial in Doctor Who Weekly #19-26 by Pat Mills and Dave (Watchmen) Gibbons, the Fourteenth Doctor comic serial "Liberation of the Daleks", the return of David Tennant and Catherine Tate, expecting that we'll get an answer for why the Fourteenth Doctor has the Tenth Doctor's face, wondering why Disney+ recommends WandaVision after you watch Doctor Who instead of Loki, Fourteen behaving very similarly to Ten, the new uses for the Sonic Screwdriver, Donna being a better mother to Rose than her mother Sylvia was to her, Donna growing as a person since she left the Tenth Doctor, Shirley Anne Bingham probably becoming a cast member in a UNIT spinoff series, Donna passing the Metacrisis power onto Rose, wondering why only women could release the Metacrisis, wondering why people who have a problem with Rose Noble are watching Doctor Who, Nik wanting a Beep the Meep plush toy, the gorgeous new TARDIS interior, our favorite quotes of the episode, new feedback from Sandi from Oregon, Dave Proctor and Holly Mac, and more!
