How could Doctor Who get out of the 1970s without doing a story about the perils of drug use? Nightmare of Eden may have its roots in gritty thrillers like The French Connection, but once the lumbering Mandrels enter the picture, things start to look more like Cocaine Bear. Despite the higher-than-average creativity — the ide of physically preserving environments in “laser crystal” storage is inspired — absolutely no one in the cast looks like they’re having any fun, which, if you think about it, makes Nightmare an apt meta-comment about drug culture. You might even call it a trip.Don't forget to give your own rating for Nightmare of Eden on Spotify!Commentary for Nightmare of Eden begins at Subscribe to our newsletter at pulltoopen.net for extended notes on Nightmare of Eden.Please consider becoming a patron of Pull To Open on Patreon.Please review Pull To Open on Apple Podcasts.Follow us on: TikTok! @pulltoopen Instagram: @pulltoopen63 X: @pulltoopen63 Threads: @pulltoopen63 Bluesky: @pulltoopenPlease subscribe to our YouTube Channel.Play Pull To Open Bingo!Story Essentials: Nightmare of Eden Season 17, Serial 4 Story number: 106, per the The Pull To Open Codex Writers: Bob Baker Director: Alan Bromly, Graham Williams Producer: Graham Williams Aired 24 November – 15 December 1979Pull To Open: Nightmare of Eden Season 4 Episode 49Hosts: Pete Pachal and Chris TaylorMusic: Martin West/Thinking Fish
