The Pull To Open Hot 100: The Complete Ranking of the First 100 Random Stories

We've done it! We've reviewed 100 Doctor Who stories, picked at random (well, mostly random). Here's how they compare to each other.

According to the Pull To Open Codex, there are, as of this moment, only 302 distinct television episodes of Doctor Who.

And we’ve reviewed a third of them.

Yes, so far on this random podcast journey, we’ve visited 100 separate Doctor Who stories. For each one, we’ve given it a rating from our trademark rating system — somewhere between a best-of-the-best Viscount Banger and a just-plain-stinky Ogron. But how do episodes with the same rating rank compared to each other?

That’s where this special episode comes in. After careful review, we've ranked the first 100 stories that Pull To Open has tackled, and we’ve done it in the style of Top of the Pops (complete with sizzling new music from Martin West!) for that zazz factor.

And that’s not all. It wouldn't be Pull To Open if we didn't stop to comment on how things shook out.

Check out the video above for the Pull To Open Hot 100, and follow along with the complete list below.
