Description
<p>Doctor Who’s biggest monster gets his due—or does he? The Randomizer drops us into <a href="https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/The_Power_of_Kroll_(TV_story)"><u>The Power of Kroll</u></a>, the soggiest segment of the Key to Time season, where the squid is supersized but the stakes… maybe not so much. Join us as we wade through methane, musical glass-shattering, suspicious swampies, and the curious absence of K9. Is Bob Holmes’ least favorite script really that bad, or are we just blinded by all the green body paint?<br></p><p>Give your own rating for The Power of Kroll on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7Fa57WCsBghyd8WqJmFqOo?si=Eo0AKJW0QASQI5H_7c36uQ">Spotify</a>!</p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZwTznhsGTGH--PUlqRUv0g">YouTube Channel</a> and become a True Companion of the podcast to get new episodes before everyone else!</p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to our newsletter at <a href="https://pulltoopen.net/">pulltoopen.net</a> for extended notes on The Power of Kroll.</p><p><br></p><p>Support the podcast by <a href="https://www.patreon.com/PullToOpen">becoming a patron</a> of Pull To Open on Patreon.</p><p><br></p><p>Please review Pull To Open on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pull-to-open/id1493205925">Apple Podcasts</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>Timeline:</p><ul><li>Intro 00:00:00</li><li>Previously… 00:01:25</li><li>Whomoji Challenge 00:06:17</li><li>POLL to Open 00:12:02</li><li>TL;DW 00:18:49</li><li>Commentary: The Power of Kroll 00:21:27</li><li>Four Questions to Doomsday 00:58:33</li><li>What If the Evil Plot Had Succeeded? 01:04:25</li><li>Where Is the Clara Splinter? 01:07:27</li><li>Final Judgment 01:12:14</li><li>Randomizer! 01:18:25</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Follow us on:</p><ul><li>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@pulltoopen">@pulltoopen</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pulltoopen63/">@pulltoopen63</a></li><li>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pulltoopen63">@pulltoopen63</a></li><li>X: <a href="https://x.com/PullToOpen63">@pulltoopen63</a></li><li>Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.net/@pulltoopen63">@pulltoopen63</a></li><li>Bluesky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/pulltoopen.bsky.social">@pulltoopen</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>Play <a href="https://bingobaker.com/#657e9cd27eb4c60b">Pull To Open Bingo</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Story Essentials</strong></p><ul><li>Season 16, Serial 5</li><li>Story number: 101, per the <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hzEZ8ezmhOXVf2WyHvhLdCTaIl0T6QxKuFHPHqSQqOM/edit#gid=0"><u>The Pull To Open Codex</u></a></li><li>Writer: Robert Holmes</li><li>Director: Norman Stewart</li><li>Script Editor: Anthony Read</li><li>Producer: Graham Williams, John Nathan-Turner</li><li>Aired 23 December 1978–13 January 1979<br></li></ul><p><strong>Pull To Open: The Power of Kroll</strong></p><ul><li>Season 6</li><li>Episode 30</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Hosts: <a href="https://twitter.com/petepachal">Pete Pachal</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/futureboy">Chris Taylor</a></p><p><br></p><p>Music: Martin West/<a href="https://thinkingfish.bandcamp.com/album/incidental-music-for-pull-to-open-podcast">Thinking Fish</a></p><p><br></p><p>©️AnyWho Media LLC 2025</p><p>Doctor Who ©️BBC 1963</p>
