Description
<p>Ahoy, space scallywags! This week the Randomizer maroons us in <a href="https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/The_Space_Pirates_(TV_story)" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">The Space Pirates</a>, the six-part “epic” so padded it should come with its own flotation device. Join us as we navigate Argonite economics, Star Trek knockoff vibes, Clancy's comedy moustache, a CEO who is definitely up to something, and a TARDIS crew who spends most of the story confused, kidnapped, or both. Is this Bob Holmes’ secret experiment? A proto–frontier-in-space? Or simply the BBC showing off their 1969 model shop? Whatever it is… grab your magnets and hold on.</p><p><br></p><p>Give your own rating for The Space Pirates 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 Space Pirates.</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… 00:01:37</li><li>Whomoji Challenge 00:08:58</li><li>POLL to Open 00:16:35</li><li>TL;DW 00:22:00</li><li>Commentary: The Space Pirates 00:25:17</li><li>Four Questions to Doomsday 01:01:37</li><li>What If the Evil Plot Had Succeeded? 01:03:45</li><li>Where Is the Clara Splinter? 01:08:49</li><li>Final Judgment 01:13:22</li><li>Randomizer! 01:18:23</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 6, Serial 6</li><li>Story number: 48, 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: Michael Hart</li><li>Script Editor: Derrick Sherwin</li><li>Producer: Peter Bryant</li><li>Aired 8 March–12 April 1969<br></li></ul><p><strong>Pull To Open: The Space Pirates</strong></p><ul><li>Season 6</li><li>Episode 31</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>
