NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 302: "Wild Blue Yonder" Is Up!

 
"Wilfred Mott! Ohhh, now I feel better. Now nothing is wrong, nothing in the whole wide world! Hello, me old soldier!"
"I never thought I'd see you again after all these years. Oh, Doctor, that lovely face! It's like springtime."
-- The Fourteenth Doctor and Wilfred Mott, Doctor Who: "Wild Blue Yonder"

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 "Wild Blue Yonder", the second Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Special, featuring David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor, Catherine Tate as Donna Noble, and the final appearance of Bernard Cribbins as Wilfred Mott!

In this episode, Jesse, Nik and I discuss things like Jesse starting a new phase of his life, Nik worrying about Inter Milan, Nathaniel Curtis appearing in Big Finish's UNIT audios, Jesse watching a Hallmark movie before watching "Wild Blue Yonder", the segment of Doctor Who fandom freaking out that the Fourteenth Doctor might be gay, finally seeing differences between the Tenth and Fourteenth Doctors, the top-notch special effects (!), the song where "Wild Blue Yonder" comes from, the Fourth Doctor's meeting with Isaac Newton, "Wild Blue Yonder" being dedicated to Bernard Cribbins, the intentional confusion of the two conversations between the Doctors and the Donnas, the Not-Things knowing that the Doctor couldn't resist thinking about the mystery, the ship being a character in itself, the similarities to Russell T Davies' previous story "Midnight", Russell T Davies making you care about the companions more than other writers, the Fourteenth Doctor angrily losing his cool, Donna figuring things about before the Doctor, the line "My arms are too long" having a very David Lynch/Twin Peaks vibe, whether Donna actually remembers what she knew as the DoctorDonna, the Fourteenth Doctor choosing poorly, the recurring "mavity" gag, Nik's dad being a fan of Sir Isaac Newton, Nik being a fan of Bernard Cribbins from the BBC series Jackanory, Wilf keeping watch for his family at the age of 93, our favorite quotes of the episode, new feedback from Dave Proctor, Holly Mac, Dustin Burcham, and Megan from Oregon, Jesse being the Podcast King, the Columbus Blue Jackets inevitably letting me down, and more!
