NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 310: "The Beast Below" Is Up!

 
"What are you going to do?"
"What I always do. Stay out of trouble...badly."
-- Amy Pond and the Eleventh Doctor, Doctor Who: "The Beast Below"

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 as we discuss "The Beast Below", the second episode of Doctor Who Series Five from 2010, featuring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, and Sophie Okonedo as Liz 10!

In this episode, Jesse, Nik and I discuss things like why I shouldn't give out our theme topics too early, Jesse getting a lot more out of his rewatch, Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" and school evaluation tests, a Next Stop News Flash about the Series 14/Series 1 premiere date and Steven Moffat's return to Doctor Who, Sophie Okonedo as the "Scream of the Shalka" companion Alison Cheney, David Ajala as Cleveland "Book" Booker on Star Trek: Discovery, comparisons to "The End of the World", the specially-recorded monologue spoken by Karen Gillan as Amy Pond that opened Eleventh Doctor episodes airing on BBC America, the advent of the Earth being rendered uninhabitable by solar flares in "The Ark in Space", Nik's political analysis of the episode, the Doctor learning a lesson in humility, Amy questioning wanting to get married, Amy living her childhood fantasy by traveling with the Doctor, the Doctor loving to learn about other people while avoiding talking about himself, wishing that we'd seen more of Liz 10, the Star Whale petting zoo, a possible love letter to Terry Pratchett's Discworld, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new listener feedback from Dave Proctor and Holly Mac, Jesse having to watch a 7-parter, and more!
