A tear, Sarah Jane? The Third Doctor on his deathbed forbids it! We (and tear-friendly Fifteen) may look askance these days at the end of Planet of the Spiders, but the bigger question is: has any of the preceding story aged well? Join us as we examine a Frankenstein’s spider with too many legs: Pertwee stunts, far-future colonists, “Flowers for Algernon,” ambiguous Mike Yates, arachnophobia, crystallography, tantric Buddhism, one clairvoyant, one exotic dancer, and a little something called reincarnation — whoops, we mean regeneration.Give your own rating for Planet of the Spiders on Spotify!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel and become a True Companion of the podcast to get new episodes before everyone else!Subscribe to our newsletter at pulltoopen.net for extended notes on Planet of the Spiders.Support the podcast by becoming a patron of Pull To Open on Patreon.Please review Pull To Open on Apple Podcasts.Timeline: Intro Previously… Whomoji Challenge POLL To Open TL;DW Commentary: Planet of the Spiders Four Questions to Doomsday What If the Evil Plot Had Succeeded?
