<p>It’s the end of the universe as Moffat knows it, and somehow we feel fine. <a href="https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/The_Pandorica_Opens_(TV_story)" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">The Pandorica Opens</a> and <a href="https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/The_Big_Bang_(TV_story)" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">The Big Bang</a> two-parter throws every monster in the closet at Stonehenge, locks the Doctor in the most mythic box since the TARDIS, shoots Amy, explodes reality, gives Rory 2,000 years of plastic husband duty, and then fixes everything with a wedding phrase. Does it all make sense? Frequently! Does it cheat? Occasionally! Does it still make Team PTO cry happy tears? Like Karen Gillan reading the deepest-blue terms and conditions. Join us as we salute Matt Smith yelling at spaceships, interrogate Moffat’s monster fan service, ponder whether Sutekh got rebooted with the TARDIS, and ask whether this fairy-tale finale is really as good as we remember.</p><p><br></p><p>Give your own rating for The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang 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 Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang.</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… 00:02:12</li><li>Whomoji Challenge 00:12:27</li><li>POLL To Open 00:15:39</li><li>Comment of the Week 00:17:56</li><li>TL;DW 00:24:11</li><li>Review: The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang 00:27:39</li><li>Four Questions to Doomsday 01:02:20</li><li>What If the Evil Plot Had Succeeded? 01:06:17</li><li>Where Is the Clara Splinter? 01:12:45</li><li>Final Judgment 01:19:44</li><li>Randomizer! 01:24:24</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>Series 5, Episodes 12 & 13</li><li>Story number: 215, per the <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hzEZ8ezmhOXVf2WyHvhLdCTaIl0T6QxKuFHPHqSQqOM/edit?gid=1912121813#gid=1912121813"><u>The Pull To Open Codex</u></a></li><li>Writer: Steven Moffat</li><li>Director: Toby Haynes</li><li>Script Editor: Lindsey Alford</li><li>Producer: Peter Bennett</li><li>Executive Producers: Steven Moffat, Piers Wenger and Beth Willis</li><li>Aired 19–26 June 2010</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Pull To Open: The Pandorica Opens | The Big Bang</strong></p><ul><li>Season 7</li><li>Episode 10</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 2026</p><p>Doctor Who ©️BBC 1963</p>
