The Weekly Stuff #484 - Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Spectacular & “The Star Beast” Review

<p><i>Doctor Who </i>is back! Both in the sense that we got our first new episode in over a year this weekend, and, more importantly, in the sense that we got our first new <i>good </i>episode since 2017! This week marked the 60th anniversary of our favorite TV show here at <i>The Weekly Stuff Podcast, </i>and brought with it the first in a series of specials reuniting David Tennant and Catherine Tate, writer/showrunner Russell T Davies, composer Murray Gold, and more, and the resulting episode, “The Star Beast,” is indeed a cracking good time, and a tremendous return-to-form after the Dark Ages ushered in by Chris Chibnall since 2018. Sean talks about finally catching up with the end of the Chibnall/Jodie Whittaker run at the top of today’s show, then we talk about some our favorite stories we’ve been revisiting for the 60th anniversary, and finally we’ve got a spoiler-filled review of “The Star Beast.”</p><p>Enjoy! </p><p><strong>Time Chart:</strong></p><p>Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:10:06</p><p>The Sad, Pathetic End of Chibnall’s Doctor Who: 0:10:06 – 1:12:21</p><p>Doctor Who 60th Talk: 1:12:21 – 1:45:27</p><p>“The Star Beast” Review: 1:45:27 – 3:18:31 </p><p>Support the show at Ko-fi ☕️ <a href="https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuff">https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuff</a></p><p>Read the book <i>200 Reviews by Jonathan R.
