Terry Nation returns! But not with Daleks — this time it’s androids, clones, and possibly the most ill-advised eyepatch in Who history. The Randomizer has pulled us into The Android Invasion, a UNIT-adjacent tale with a suspiciously quiet pub, some surprisingly trigger-happy fingers, and a plan so convoluted, it makes a Moffat finale look grounded. Join us as we unravel a story where the twist is that the twist is obvious, Tom Baker takes a dive, and Liz Sladen’s face falls off — literally. If you’ve ever dreamed of a Doctor Who/Stepford Wives crossover filmed in a quaint British village, this one’s for you.Give your own rating for The Android Invasion 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 The Android Invasion.Support the podcast by becoming a patron of Pull To Open on Patreon.Please review Pull To Open on Apple Podcasts.Timeline:IIntro 00:00:00Previously… 00:02:24Whomoji Challenge 00:07:25Poll to Open 00:15:59TL;DW 00:21:46Commentary: The Android Invasion 00:24:36Four Questions to Doomsday 01:07:52What If the Evil Plot Had Succeeded? 01:13:03Where Is the Clara Splinter 01:18:08Final Judgment 01:21:50Randomizer! 01:27:30Follow us on:TikTok: @pulltoopenInstagram: @pulltoopen63Facebook: @pulltoopen63X: @pulltoopen63Threads: @pulltoopen63Bluesky: @pulltoopenPlay Pull To Open BingoStory EssentialsSeason 9, Serial 2Story number: 82, per the The Pull To Open CodexWriter: Terry NationDirector: Barry LettsScript editor: Robert HolmesProducer: Philip HinchcliffeAired 22 November–13 December 1975Pull To Open: The Android InvasionSeason 6Episode 19Hosts: Pete Pachal and Chris TaylorMusic: Martin West/Thinking Fish©️AnyWho Media LLC 2025Doctor Who ©️BBC 1963
