Pull To Open Podcast: Orphan 55 - Doctor Who
5Bitter Dregs (Stranding Doctor Who's “Orphan 55”): Orphan 55 stands apart from the rest of Doctor Who canon in two key ways: First, its idea of an indeterminate always-in-flux future is at odds with virtually every other adventure set in the future. And second, probably no other episode has ever dared to spell out its message so explicitly, ending with an ominous speech from Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor about the terrible consequences of neglecting our planet. To be fair, the story is much more fun than that sounds, with jokes about speedos, a three-layer cake of mysteries, and plenty of creepy monsters with big teeth. This one has more twists than a Blackpool roller coaster, although when it’s done you might question where you ended up.
