    The Big Wrap-Up Episode

    And we've come to the end of Five Years Rapid, which is what we'll call season 1 of a Doctor Who podcast from Kyle and Joy. (More on that later.) In this final FYR, we give you our top 5 and bottom 3 stories, our Senior Superlatives, and try to summarize the Third Doctor era as succinctly as possible. As you can see, it's our longest ever episode.
    For those interested, here are our full individual story ranking.

    Planet of the Spiders

    Planet of the Spiders

    It's the end...but the moment has been prepared for. Wait, no, that's a different final story. We did it! We have come to the end of the five year that have indeed been rapid. Joy and Kyle discuss "Planet of the Spiders," a beloved story that has a lot to recommend it...and a lot of not great stuff too. Like, more that people like to remember. Let's get in to it! A tear, Sarah Jane?

    The Monster of Peladon

    The Monster of Peladon

    For our penultimate Pertwee story, we look at *checks notes* wait, is this right? "The Monster of Peladon?" Well, I guess if we have to.

    Death to the Daleks

    Death to the Daleks

    Third to last story for the Third Doctor and it's the third of his Dalek stories. Ermahgerd, Derlerks.

    Invasion of the Dinosaurs

    Invasion of the Dinosaurs

    Our final Malcolm Hulke story is an oft-maligned but undeservedly so. "Invasion of the Dinosaurs" has intrigue, politics, weird sci-fi ideals, Sarah Jane being absolutely awesome, a dramatic turn for Mike Yates, and the Doctor's best jacket. Yes, and some cruddy looking dinosaur puppets too. What're you gonna do?

This podcasts’ got wings

Like all projects involving Joy and Kyle, 5 Years Rapid is charming, informative, and fun.

If you like Pertwee...

This is the way a Doctor Who podcast should be done. My only suggestion would be to add more production information if you have it for the story.

Thanks guys!
