"You’re called 'The Doctor'?"
"Yes, I am."
"That’s not a name, that’s a psychological condition."
-- Lady Christina de Souza and the Tenth Doctor, Doctor Who: "Planet of the Dead"
This time, returning special guest companion Christine Peruski joins me for a new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast, as we discuss "Planet of the Dead", the 2009 Easter Special, featuring David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, Michelle Ryan as Lady Christina de Souza, Lee Evans as Malcolm Taylor, and Daniel Kaluuya as Barclay!

Rowling's involvement in the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play, Daniel Kaluuya's career since Doctor Who, the 200 Bus getting crushed during shipment to Dubai, the Doctor's emotional rollercoaster cycle with companions, Lady Christina taking charge, the Tenth Doctor kissing all of his companions, foreshadowing the Tenth Doctor's demise, Supernatural trying to chase down The Simpsons, Lady Christina's interaction with the Doctor being like Catwoman's relationship with Batman, a special appearance by Christine's dog Rusty, the wasted potential of not seeing Lady Christina again on television, the failure of Torchwood: Miracle Day, Malcolm geeking out over the Doctor, Captain Magambo threatening to kill Malcolm, Magambo's lack of trust in people, '50s British sci-fi series Quatermass and the Pit, the Tritovores and the metal stingrays, Angela's big contribution of telling the Doctor to press "0" to get past an automated phone system, the Doctor smashing the priceless golden goblet that Lady Christina stole, D.I. McMillan being stumped by a closed bus door, "Planet of the Dead" being the first HD Doctor Who episode, needing a Malcolm & Osgood spinoff series, my Reverse the Polarity segment, some feedback from Holly from Wisconsin, and more!
