In this episode, which clocks in at just under five hours, Dan and Mike complete their journey through Doctor Who! As they bring Bigger on the Inside to a close (for now), they discuss the romp that is "The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot," the shock-inducing "The Night of The Doctor," the they-don't-know-what "The Last Day," Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special "The Day of The Doctor," and Matt Smith's swan song "The Time of The Doctor."

After Dan casually makes a reference to the worst anime of all time, the show spirals out of control, leading to a curse-filled tirade, an appearance by Shana, and talk of the Power Rangers. On the topic of Doctor Who, a revenge-seeking cyborg hunts down his maker ("A Town Called Mercy"), and alien-cubes pave the way for a very slow (and confusing) invasion ("The Power of Three"). Also: Lionel makes a special cameo, a listener nearly owes Mike a new keyboard, Rule 34, there's not a lot of love f...

It's the fifth anniversary of Bigger on the Inside, and also the 50th anniversary of some show called Doctor Who. You've probably never heard of it.

Dan and Mike are old. And grumpy. But that's nothing new. So what is new? A genuinely good Christmas-themed episode of Doctor Who, that's what! Sure, it has flying sharks and an operatic voice that tames the sky, but "A Christmas Carol" has a lot of heart and solid acting. From there the guys lament the Doctor Who-related 2011 National Television Awards sketch, and have fun with the two-part mini-story "Space" / "Time." Please visit www.patreon.com/biggerontheinside.
