Transcript
- 0:40Welcome back to hamster with run penknife.
- 0:43The Doctor Who come a few podcast.
- 0:46Thrilled is what I am to introduce my guest today.
- 0:50It's my Connor. Say hello Mike.
- 0:52Oh, it is an honor to have you here today.
- 0:55Like that's so obvious. A joke, isn't it?
- 0:58Well, I've never heard it before laughter.
- 1:00Yeah, Like, before we start before we even talk about the
- 1:06episode that we're going to talk about, would you do me a massive
- 1:10favour, please and talk about your YouTube channel, which I
- 1:13have discovered very recently and gobbled up much content.
- 1:19Yeah, sure. So it's called bookish money
- 1:22like to combine on that. And basically, I film videos
- 1:26about the books that I read, lots of them are Doctor, Who
- 1:30lots of the month. I Center is to review.
- 1:33I don't make videos very often at the moment, but I was
- 1:36vlogging. I was baking.
- 1:39I was watching TV and talking about what I've been watching.
- 1:42It was quite a hectic, like me. And basically, it was it was, it
- 1:46was what I like on a I mean I was like my God, this guy like
- 1:54talked about everything. There was one video where you
- 1:56are, you are moving house and I was having a tour of your new
- 1:59house and then I was when I was seeing you talk about a Nigella
- 2:04Lawson recipe and then you were talking about some fantastic
- 2:07book. Like it's quite very it was me
- 2:10and I think it was it was a my kind of favorite Outlet at that
- 2:14time. Like I said I'm not making them
- 2:16at the minute but I do plan 1 Way to go back.
- 2:19There was planning. Always a part two to that house
- 2:21video to give you a tour of it as it's finished.
- 2:23But I forgot how long it takes to actually finish things in a
- 2:27house. Some get put things where you
- 2:28want the land, you're moving your furniture, doesn't fit in
- 2:31that room anymore. So you need new furniture, it
- 2:33just takes time. So the plan is to eventually get
- 2:35back and make some more videos, but at the moment, my kind of
- 2:39platform of choices Instagram. So they're actually not that.
- 2:42I'm obsessed. And they've all feel like the
- 2:46emphasis That's kind of where it's at.
- 3:18And you can do a lot with an edit button.
- 3:20So like thing, will you give me a tutorial that because as the
- 3:23list has no on this podcast there's very little editing.
- 3:26A what there is is terrible that has its strong too.
- 3:30Because I would love to, I don't think the world is ready for an
- 3:34edited and filtered video of me. I'm not perfect, I'll tell you
- 3:39are actually doing this and you'll see this as we go in
- 3:43there is a lot of skill to rambling on for an hour without
- 3:48Doubt it because you can't edit on a commentary.
- 3:50It's all. And if it's someone's listening
- 3:52to this, you can't take anything out because then you'll be out
- 3:54of time with what they're watching.
- 3:56Absolutely. That's the skill of its own.
- 3:58But then, when you put the luxury of any, so you can be
- 4:00like, on isil again, I'll stop, and I'll do it again.
- 4:03Well, I'll get over to you now because you look terrific on
- 4:06your videos, but you actually look terrific in person as well.
- 4:09So there's no fillers going on there.
- 4:13You know what, I have had a good haircut recent.
- 4:15Oh no, Jesus. Yeah.
- 4:20I was starting to look like the Abominable Snowman from the
- 4:23Patrick troughton story. It was horrendous.
- 4:25I ain't a hundred a being allegedly, found my other half
- 4:28got very good with the Clippers and giving me a little homely
- 4:32face. Fair play to him but we're not
- 4:37here to talk about Twitter or Instagram or YouTube.
- 4:39Today, we are here to talk about a what I think is a phenomenal
- 4:44introductory episode for a doctor.
- 4:47Why don't you tell us what we're going to be watching?
- 4:50Going to watch the woman who fell to Earth?
- 4:54Jogi number one, but I'm going to ask you a question now that
- 4:58may gain or lose us listeners. Where did you forward the Jodie?
- 5:03Whittaker era? Am I allowed to swear?
- 5:07Of course, in fact, I encourage it.
- 5:10Okay. I fucking love it.
- 5:15I really do. And I completely like I said, I
- 5:18completely understand that it is not perfect, but you tell me
- 5:21what season of Doctor Who is Okay, hang on there.
- 5:26You just write a goal it down there.
- 5:28These are one. Is there a perfect season?
- 5:32Probably know. I see because, my favorite
- 5:34series is series for the new series and that that still
- 5:37hangs, the doctor's daughter in there.
- 5:39So, exactly. And I mean, that is a close to
- 5:41perfect season. That is a very, very good
- 5:43season. And he did that.
- 5:46Just such an impressive and epic thing at the end where broad all
- 5:50those characters together that crossover event, that didn't
- 5:53exist. On telly.
- 5:54It's The Buffy crossover. Leandra's world is it's
- 5:59basically like a Avengers endgame, Ultimate Alliance early
- 6:04years ahead. We always wanted.
- 6:07I mean, if we thought that having Daleks and Cybermen
- 6:10fighting each other was thing we've seen ever, it wasn't
- 6:15totally accepted since he was 4. I love series for children.
- 6:17It's not perfect season, skipping forward.
- 6:20Then to Jody's time, Just name me.
- 6:25Two strengths of this era. Don't be particular update.
- 6:30Thank you. Yeah.
- 6:31Okay, I'm sorry but she has she's such a good doctor.
- 6:34She's such a good doctor and she is she's beautiful.
- 6:38And she's such a good actress. I mean I'm almost I don't want
- 6:42to gush because I feel like there's always, you know, she's
- 6:50fantastic. She isn't being given everything
- 6:53that David Tennant was given to do or even keep the deposit was
- 6:57given to do. But you know what, I think, I
- 6:59think that's a deliberate. Creative choice, that they save
- 7:02and come away from that whole. Like you look at Rusty dates
- 7:05time. You look at Steven Moffat style
- 7:06and a lot of the stories are about the doctor that they are.
- 7:09The doctor, the night of the doctor, the time of the doctor
- 7:11that you know, where as here the doctors gone back to basically
- 7:15being elevated, it's certainly a series of level.
- 7:17Maybe instead of 12, it's more about the Timeless child and the
- 7:20doctor again, and they've gone back in that direction.
- 7:23Ashley because, you know, I'm seeing I think that's probably
- 7:31quite evident in their relationships as well and they
- 7:34all got together near a group of friends, and I think that's
- 7:37being promoted as, probably something she wanted, you know,
- 7:40as we've probably bled into the character and his blade into her
- 7:42as well. I love her, I could watch her.
- 7:47Be the doctor for several more seasons.
- 7:49I enjoy to last season, I'm not ready for An assistant to be
- 7:54last one. I'm not there.
- 7:56I think with this is, this is, this is how I know that.
- 7:59I love Jodie and she's up there. One of my favorite doctors, I
- 8:03realize that I love Jodie Whittaker as the doctor, whilst
- 8:08I'm watching her. Be the doctor.
- 8:10Okay? Hey, because I love David
- 8:12Tennant. Was watching him being doctor.
- 8:15I didn't love Matt. What he that's on, I've grown to
- 8:17love him, always see what you're saying.
- 8:20Was, it was live on TV, we don't peek.
- 8:24I didn't I didn't hate him just like him.
- 8:27He was fine. I just didn't love him but like
- 8:30I was like I love him less and less the more I watch you.
- 8:32Unfortunately, I've got the other way but there we go.
- 8:35Back to be fair. I think Matt Smith, he's
- 8:38fantastic in the crown away from Doctor Who
- 8:54Watched and re-watched, and I just really loved him as a
- 8:57doctor but whilst watching Josie, I immediately was like,
- 9:01yeah, I love her. The challenge is, you know, what
- 9:03you mentioned earlier about Twitter and toxicity and I think
- 9:07there is a lot of talk, there's a lot of anger out there at the
- 9:10moment. They got their shit things
- 9:11happening in the world and there's a lot of reaction to it.
- 9:14And I really love the fact that especially in series 11, Jodie
- 9:18Whittaker is like a ray of freaking Sunshine, Has Smiled
- 9:22beams out of my screen. He's off on an adventure with
- 9:25her friends. Like I wouldn't want every
- 9:28doctors to be like this. This kind of like KFI, you know,
- 9:34embracing science, all the wonderful things of the universe
- 9:37that bit. At the end of it, it takes you
- 9:38away where she kisses to that frog.
- 9:42Oh my God, I couldn't love her more in that moment.
- 9:45Absolutely. And I don't really understand
- 9:47the jogi haters, I don't get it. Well, that's because then they
- 9:51don't enjoy life. Enjoy life.
- 9:54Fun current. All nice thing is they don't
- 9:57like the fact that the doctors really happy they want.
- 10:00They basically wanted more man. Pain.
- 10:03Yeah. Which has its place I get it.
- 10:05But they are slowly making her have that kind of slightly
- 10:08darker Edge and dealing with some type of material which
- 10:11probably brings me on to my second point there.
- 10:13My second straight loss of the Joe Veera, which I think is the,
- 10:18I'm going to say a strength and that is the blowing up of the
- 10:21cannon. I'm going to put it out there.
- 10:23Okay. Thanks.
- 10:24I love you. Yeah, but if it comes with the
- 10:28secrets, the twists, the stuff we don't know about ever seeing
- 10:31on screen. I think the actual enjoyment of
- 10:34watching a new doctor be revealed and not realizing what
- 10:37was happening. I mean, that there are there are
- 10:40several episodes in the new era that I have had to go back and
- 10:44re-watch immediately like a promising life but the next day
- 10:47I have to put it on. Watch it again.
- 10:49The woman who fell to Earth was one The Fugitive of the juju
- 10:53doing was another I have to watch it straight away.
- 10:55I was like oh Jack's back. That's called the June's back,
- 10:57but that's cool. What the fuck just happened if
- 11:03the ground, what? Yeah, that's, that's sequence.
- 11:05That's extraordinary. I mean, it's gold.
- 11:09Yeah. I mean, I love the master.
- 11:13Yeah. Fantastic as well as you know
- 11:18what he's done, after what if we had wanted to?
- 11:24Ten seasons of basically explaining Who Doctor Who is and
- 11:29dealing with his emotions and looking into his past and blah
- 11:32blah, blah Chuckles come along and blown a hole in all of that.
- 11:35And he's put the who back in Doctor Who because we do really
- 11:39know who the doctor is anymore. I don't think we should just, I
- 11:43mean I feel like we watching season 12 was the first time in
- 11:49a long time being like I don't know what's going on but not in
- 11:52a complicated plot way. You know, I'm really intrigued.
- 11:55Where are they going now? I think that is really exciting
- 11:59and you have to make, keep making it exciting, otherwise
- 12:02it's going to go stay on this, going to die that and we don't
- 12:04worry about it. They do it time.
- 12:06And again as you Explore More of classic who they blow holes in
- 12:10continuity all the time, just to get the story moving along and
- 12:14going in a different direction. First, doctor was never planning
- 12:17to regenerate. That wasn't part of what we do
- 12:19the same Lord until the actor had to step down and then you
- 12:22had the toy laws introduced. And they were like gods and then
- 12:25skip forward to the Deadly Assassin and they're just
- 12:27basically like you know, American politics politicians,
- 12:31you know that changed it happens all the time and you have to
- 12:36just write it I a completely happy to ride.
- 12:39Jodie Whittaker Sera. I hear.
- 12:44It's a good ride. Yeah, on that note.
- 12:48Should we skip into the woman who fell to Earth?
- 12:50Because you'll be pleased to know.
- 12:52This is already the longest in Road I've ever done before an
- 12:56episode. Oh no, I'm telling a lie.
- 12:59Mark Rowley zarcero to from to wha show that went on that.
- 13:03Maybe about 25 minutes before we started the episode, but there
- 13:05we go. Uncle, do you know?
- 13:10They did the keys of marinus of course, every person's turn to
- 13:15watch her a lot. And I understand their love for
- 13:18that episode, but I haven't listened to your podcast with
- 13:22them yet. So I feel like I need to to
- 13:24watch the episode first and then afterwards I have not done that
- 13:29yet. It's a huge loving.
- 13:31Like the case of ours gets ripped apart by a lot of fans.
- 13:33It's a massive love in place with some, like massive
- 13:37diversions about Mark being under a duty for like, an entire
- 13:41episode and I know. Yeah, bring it on.
- 13:46Okay. Well, get your finger poised on
- 13:49the bottom. We're going in.
- 13:51Okay. 54 Three, two one. Let's go.
- 14:02Some no titles. Well, I I think when they come,
- 14:08they're amazing. I really like the do.
- 14:09These holes and the music. Yeah, I'm not sure.
- 14:13What is this? The only story ever?
- 14:15So don't have titles. I think it is a couple.
- 14:17Does that not the one about sleep dust in season 9?
- 14:21Which I found the name of Justin have Cycles.
- 14:24There's a reason you can't remember the labor that I just I
- 14:30feel like I feel like I'm happy waiting for the next episode to
- 14:35see that the interior of the TARDIS.
- 14:36I feel like that's a really lovely kind of builds up to get
- 14:39to. I think we would I would have
- 14:41enjoyed see this. That's all I'll say yeah as long
- 14:44as it's not something I missed. So now we had a little sweet,
- 14:49little tiny little chat off like about Ryan.
- 14:53I know you say you said you had a few issues with Ryan.
- 14:58See them, this is the thing I've this episode, I think is really,
- 15:01really good. I think all the characters and
- 15:04specifically the companions of a function.
- 15:06Yes. And it's really important, I
- 15:07think for the Companions and all who stories to have a function
- 15:10and not just be an audience for doctor and orders what was
- 15:14happening. And I think that's one of the
- 15:16main issues they have in general of see series 11 when there's
- 15:21his three companions. You know, there's a lot of
- 15:23people and then the writers bring in a lot of additional
- 15:26characters, there's so much going on.
- 15:28I think they sometimes get a bit lost.
- 15:30I mean, who I Graham in, in Revolution of the Daleks it is
- 15:36get it. Well, I mean, you get that
- 15:39wonderful moment where Ryan's dad comes to the door and inhale
- 15:42notes. Are you talking about?
- 15:45Yeah, that's that. That was a mistake.
- 15:52This is really good because they do all have a function and they
- 15:56have a really their relationships come to live.
- 15:58The character comes through and I like Cryin ish because I just
- 16:02feel like he's, I don't know, he's underused, but just what
- 16:07does I just didn't fuck him. He is a very handsome, man is
- 16:13beautiful. If I was King James in the,
- 16:16which finders are not be taking no, for an answer.
- 16:20That's so funny, the target of that thoroughly enjoying it, who
- 16:26really, really enjoying it. I Of the expand on the episodes,
- 16:30things, penumbral umbrella. When it comes to Ryan, right?
- 16:33So I lost my mom a couple of years ago and obviously, he
- 16:36loses his mother figure in this. And I have a terrible
- 16:41relationship with my dad, who's a very disappointing man, and he
- 16:44has a terrible. And so a lot of what he goes
- 16:46through and serious 11, I can really relate to promoting with
- 16:51him. I mean, yeah, this is fantastic.
- 16:53I think that he's got a really, like I said, Godfrey the
- 16:56function in this and I really like his ark.
- 16:58In this his story and, you know, it was his grace and his
- 17:02relationship with graham is what we're all watching, really,
- 17:04isn't it? There's just almost like two
- 17:05different relationships. Do you think there's a
- 17:07deliberate attempt to pull back from like the impossible girl
- 17:13and the whole sort of Amy and her childhood hero?
- 17:17Like there's a lot of sort of Mythology and science fiction
- 17:20twist with the mafia Vegas here. They're just normal people.
- 17:24Are they, they're just regular people.
- 17:27They are regular people and they get swept along into this man's
- 17:31mad episode. I love this blue pod thing in
- 17:34the woods. I think that looks stunning.
- 17:36It looks very classic who that you know but I just feel like
- 17:41this more than any other episode before this really really feels
- 17:47like Watching Doctor, Who here absolutely.
- 17:59Yes, non-fan. This could be the beginning of
- 18:01your journey. As you think there's four places
- 18:04you know Rose I think you can start watching their Smith and
- 18:07Jones. I think you could start watching
- 18:09their the 11th Hour definitely and then here.
- 18:16Hi. Alone.
- 18:34I was just passed the bechdel test.
- 18:35It's three women talking. Not about a man.
- 18:38Now I've gone on about this till I'm blue in the face, but the
- 18:41mafia era did not score well with the bell tower test and I
- 18:45feel like Chippendales got an unfair advantage in though.
- 18:48He's got a female doctor and then more fun.
- 18:52You know, he is the king of the sexual innuendo.
- 18:56He's very This is what he likes us, this where you came from,
- 18:59you know, I think that should be deductible bit the show's less
- 19:02about sort of gender here and I'm pleased because I'm sick of
- 19:06the conversation, you know. Oh you man.
- 19:08Oh you woman you know, that happened quite a lot.
- 19:12It's interesting though, isn't it?
- 19:13Because I'm surprised they didn't go down the romance route
- 19:16with yeas and grow with the as of right?
- 19:19Yes, yes, I think in this step so that's what you expect to
- 19:22happen. Isn't it?
- 19:22Specially for this? Like, we meeting of them.
- 19:24But I'm really glad I didn't play too.
- 19:26As well, somebody didn't. It's like, it's like saying that
- 19:29a man, and a woman, actually, can be very good friends, you
- 19:32know? That's no excuse.
- 19:47But I actually could feel that they were trying to give her
- 19:49much more to do in serious about when you got to.
- 19:52Can you hear me where we explored her past?
- 19:56I think they're going to do. With eyes serious, do saying
- 19:58that she had like mental health issues and was potentially
- 20:01suicidal when the past is what interesting?
- 20:04And that's a fantastic area of depth who character, but to be
- 20:09fair to the actors and they probably know that already about
- 20:11her here but they don't show it until the second half of season
- 20:17six the next season. Okay, it's great to she's
- 20:19introduces a copper. Isn't she?
- 20:21And in that episode they then show you why she was inspired to
- 20:23be accomplished by meeting that woman.
- 20:26Fantastic. But look how long to get there.
- 20:28I don't know how long it took to are.
- 20:31There was a big gap between season 11 and 12 and Graham get.
- 20:42I feel like you're sucked into their family Dynamic and you
- 20:44understand it? And it's very strong.
- 20:46Actually, Graham was a big surprise to me in this in the
- 20:49season. I think, I don't think we
- 20:51expected much did we? And I don't know what he
- 20:56basically God, and its really, really nice because in the past,
- 21:01I've found that a lot of the really emotional material has
- 21:04been handed to the female actors in this season.
- 21:09Not really the doctor that gets those moments.
- 21:11It's Ryan and Graham. So you've got two men to two
- 21:17straight men who are one who's terrible, his feelings and
- 21:21another one, Graham who's quite good at expressing himself.
- 21:26I think those moments are lovely.
- 21:28They are not me. And I just love is what, how
- 21:31long it takes for us to see the doctor?
- 21:32I think this was a really brief choice, and it was the right
- 21:35choice and keep us wanting to See her where she's falling from
- 21:40the darkness, but hopefully that entrance where she just crashes
- 21:43through the roof is amazing. Amazing to know when she was
- 21:48revealed to be a doctor. I remember exactly where I was.
- 21:52I remember talking to my mum because she was seeing all then
- 21:55review the new doctor today and I was doing Wimbledon wasn't it.
- 21:59That's right. Yeah and she's just mean as you
- 22:04think they can, they're cast a woman and I said to them is the
- 22:06BBC then ever going to cast a I was just like, it's never going
- 22:10to happen. I'm never going to see it.
- 22:12So when I did see it I was excited like I'm just home.
- 22:16Why was it work? It was a Sunday was the I was at
- 22:18work, maybe it's hiding. But I was a definitely work and
- 22:24and the thing came through. I have just been.
- 22:27Yes. Yes.
- 22:29And the next day, right? I was putting out the papers at
- 22:31work. I'm not kidding.
- 22:32You. I took a photograph of still got
- 22:34it. She was on the front cover of
- 22:37every freaking newspaper. Amazing Doctor.
- 22:40Who should be front page news? Now, from right reasons, can we
- 22:45take a moment to talk about Sharon Clark?
- 22:49Who is really, really good? She is and I'm pleased.
- 22:54She gets to come back a couple of times.
- 22:57Yes, I think what would have been really effective?
- 23:00And I really have a piece of marketing as if they'd have
- 23:02included her in the sort of press for companions, the
- 23:07companions first season. And well interestingly when they
- 23:10did the press release of the woman who fell to Earth, there
- 23:14she is. Come to the doctor.
- 23:16She's in that photograph. There's a picture of all of them
- 23:18with her. Okay?
- 23:21Okay. Hey you said you wanted the
- 23:24title music. It just here there.
- 23:27Brother say that when that happened on first airing, I got
- 23:30complete Shivers, I was like oh there it is that that that that
- 23:34felt good to. We've never heard it as like
- 23:35incidental music before. Even say right this she never
- 23:39does anything. She literally just fell for a
- 23:40roof grabbed, an electric cable and just feel stuck it in that
- 23:44creature. Who says she doesn't do
- 23:46anything? Oh no, not my doctor people.
- 23:54Can I just say she looks huge? Rocks Capaldi's costume.
- 23:58She does she does. And I kind of wish I do.
- 24:02I don't mind her costume. Actually, I think he's a little
- 24:05tailored, but I don't mind it. But I do kind of wish we'd had a
- 24:08season of her wearing this because she just looks so good.
- 24:12She does a good. She does look good.
- 24:14I love her. I think she is.
- 24:16So inviting actually what this system does do well, and this
- 24:19episode as well. Is it really gives Jonesy?
- 24:22How's that? Dr. So much time.
- 24:25I think that was quite deliberate, as well.
- 24:27I think, obviously to the, perhaps this, like detriment of
- 24:29the companion, sometimes, or, but Jodi gets it, or just
- 24:33getting the word. She's getting the chicken at
- 24:36all. I can always see her like,
- 24:37feeling her way into the role as well.
- 24:40Yeah, like I love always loved the first episode with the
- 24:42doctor because they're not quite sure how they're going to play
- 24:46it. I don't think there's any nerves
- 24:50in her performance at all because she just comes in
- 24:53Charismatic and just great to watch.
- 24:56I have exciting. Was it to find out that she was
- 24:59going to the doctor? I mean.
- 25:00How how if it's hard when you're a long-standing doctor who fan
- 25:05to remain excited? This is the yeah, how they keep
- 25:08you excited? Yeah, I think for this episode
- 25:12to come on, I remember being genuinely excited like, no, no.
- 25:15I like my other half, couldn't speak what it was on.
- 25:18I was like, no way. You save everything until it's
- 25:20done. I want to be completely
- 25:22immersed. Just in this and I was like, I'm
- 25:25not working the late shift that night.
- 25:26I'm coming home to watch it live is not happening, so exciting.
- 25:30This was actually only was, it was powerful.
- 25:34So I've been one of our for two and a half years now and when we
- 25:37first started going out, he binged watched because he knew
- 25:40how obsessed I was with the show.
- 25:42He business Watch series 1 to 11 in like two months, like he flew
- 25:47through it and he liked science fiction.
- 25:49So he he just kind of passing dogs.
- 25:55And when he got to joke because of the reactions of this season,
- 25:59but I've how is he going to? He freaking loved her.
- 26:03Oh, good, I think gobbled up series elevens like he really
- 26:07enjoyed it. Yeah.
- 26:10I love this. I love how to confrontational
- 26:14yaz's. I like that element 0 character.
- 26:16You know, she got a slight Edge and I enjoy that badge with
- 26:19heart. I think that's really important.
- 26:22The doctors trying to provoke them to life.
- 26:23Think about the situation as well as if she's not doing all
- 26:26the work for them. No, no.
- 26:30I know I keep saying this, but it was genuinely standing there
- 26:33on a train. It's lit.
- 27:20I just, there's something about a doctor performance, that makes
- 27:27you just want to watch them when they're on the screen and Jody
- 27:29has that. Like, not all of them have that.
- 27:32I think Jon Pertwee has that. I'm always drawn to him.
- 27:36I think David Tennant has that. I'm always drawn to him when
- 27:39he's on the screen to see what crazy she is up to Capaldi.
- 27:44Actually, do you know can blend into the background, but But
- 27:48wait, wait, but he will always pull focus in a brilliant way.
- 27:52Oh he does. I do know what I mean.
- 27:54You and I have chatted before about how I mean, see this is.
- 27:58This is where I am, okay, topology and Whitaker and
- 28:01jostling for first place of my favorite doctors right now and I
- 28:06know that's quite a controversial opinion.
- 28:08Oh, well, I'm so unpredictable. I Go Tellin one Whitaker to
- 28:13Capaldi, three. So, but even having Whitaker it
- 28:16to is quite controversial. No, true sense.
- 28:20I mean, I know, I can't, I mean, I recently finished a real
- 28:24options because to Pakistani, right?
- 28:26Just just randomly was watching it again and then we should be
- 28:28enjoying myself and when he is regenerating in parting of the
- 28:32ways, I get really sad because I really liked him.
- 28:35I thought it was really good and his era was was, was just what
- 28:39introduced me to who. And then, of course, didn't
- 28:44didn't give it a come and serve steal, the shiny bit does me.
- 28:47He does. This kind of eclipse Echoes
- 28:49turning understand why. And I was thinking of the day,
- 28:52how, how amazing would have been to have seen Eccleston doing
- 28:57David Tennant's Arc, because there's incubator, he would have
- 29:01been in for that story. The crisper axle is an
- 29:05extraordinary actor and he would have done something completely
- 29:08different and amazing with it. Yeah, I would be really
- 29:12interesting. I find, I mean, okay, so
- 29:15controversial opinion time Um, I love a first doctor story like a
- 29:21first episode for doctor. I think they're all really
- 29:24interesting to you, you're dying.
- 29:25See within the doctors went to do, I think I think I didn't
- 29:30think that's what you were going to say that.
- 29:32I for you. Going to say something else.
- 29:33I love it. I think this is a very big
- 29:35internet when you doctor. I think this is the
- 29:37controversial bit as well as part to my least favorite is the
- 29:4111th hour. That's why I thought you were
- 29:42gonna say. I think it's important.
- 30:41Since we are CD B, ra there has been quite a lack of Welsh
- 30:47accents voices. In Doctor Who there was a lot of
- 30:51it at the beginning, I even understand it was being filmed
- 30:54in Wheels, you know, he he is the showrunner.
- 30:56He's Welsh. I think that there's not enough
- 31:00Welsh accents, across talion, generally, I agree and it was so
- 31:05refreshing. In those first four years, it
- 31:08was so refreshing because Basically, the well, should we
- 31:10hear in doctor before? That is, you know, the green
- 31:13death would like all your right boil.
- 31:15And, you know, bollocks, exactly.
- 31:18I think that there's room for and I love seeing that and
- 31:21obviously highlighting things like torture words where we had
- 31:25satin Wheels, you know, full, well, she is Supporting Cast and
- 31:29that was, that was so refreshing and I just, I am, I am actually
- 31:35actually praying at. We do actually get a torch with
- 31:38me boobs. With that video and alone should
- 31:41be bc3 coming back to terrestrial TV.
- 31:43I feel like I feel like everyone wants it and I feel like there's
- 31:48certainly been a big buzz online about it.
- 31:50I think that have to be some tweaks.
- 31:52But yeah. Oh yeah, that's not coffee what
- 31:54it was but it's just content with Miracle day.
- 31:58Beautiful day, I didn't lie. I just re-watched it.
- 32:02I thoroughly enjoyed working. Quite sure about that enormous.
- 32:04Like death-defying vagina that was sucking everything in at the
- 32:08end but what a Grace description, I agree.
- 32:11But yeah, I yeah, it's odd. But But the story was fine.
- 32:16I feel like it was too long. Take us on a path towards.
- 32:19I think it would be a much more streamlined experience.
- 32:22You can really have some fun because they brought obviously
- 32:25Jack back into the Doctor Who in the series 12.
- 32:28And I've hearing Rumblings that he might be in 13th as well
- 32:32because he has been in England, dying his hair.
- 32:36So, yes, saying he needs a doctor.
- 32:39I think it'd make it absolutely. Like, have the two serious.
- 32:42Concurrent with a few sort of crossovers I hope because I feel
- 32:46like as well, if this is another thing, I think that yeah, as if
- 32:50this is going to be this is this is this is Jody's last season,
- 32:54right? We're pretty sure that John
- 32:55Bishop, isn't it? The one season?
- 32:57Yes, because we've got cha commitments to etcetera.
- 33:00I don't know whether you guys would stay past.
- 33:03No. I think, I think four years
- 33:05might be too long. Yeah.
- 33:07So I feel like, yeah, there's could slip to Torchwood very
- 33:11easily and bring the new audience of who Back onto your
- 33:16children on the side. You know I just want more Gwen
- 33:19Cooper. I just want Ben Cooper back on
- 33:20our screens all the time. You know what series wallet or
- 33:23should? I had a real issues with her
- 33:25where she was fucking knowing? I really shoes with that.
- 33:28But then from Series 2 onwards where she was just in love with
- 33:31her other half had the baby. I just yeah, she was terrific
- 33:35but then children of Earth. She is just a queen.
- 33:40A jumping-off. Ambulances were two guns.
- 33:42This is very the Christmas Eve. In here is that the doctor, the
- 33:47Regeneration energy and I do think there is a is a criticism
- 33:51but there is a comment that chibnall leans into a lot of our
- 33:55CD stuff. And I think that is true, the
- 33:58kind I think. Rusty Davis did relatable
- 34:00companions. I think chip will brings back
- 34:04like the family thing with you as his family worked and it
- 34:09works here as well. You know, that's right here.
- 34:12I don't think we see, we don't see enough of you as his family.
- 34:14I think they're really fun hundred percent they they needed
- 34:18to be a bit more you know we're getting Ryan's whole family kind
- 34:21of at all times. I think that we needed more of
- 34:24you as family. Oh my word.
- 34:27What the hell is coming out of that?
- 34:30I love it. So like a monster movie.
- 34:32It's amazing. Oh God.
- 34:34This this has one of my favorite like unintentionally funny by
- 34:38words. With that Kebab man is like, eat
- 34:41more salad. Fantastic.
- 34:45Look at this but the POV shot. That's incredible.
- 34:50As they spent a fortune on. There's something, I mean, I've
- 34:53heard some people say that. Oh, that's good about the chip
- 34:57away, right? Is the visuals that's bollocks
- 35:00bars. The visuals are stunning.
- 35:06It's hard to compete with a completely different TV
- 35:08landscape. Now, we're talking sort of Game
- 35:10of Thrones are where you've got a compete on that level.
- 35:13Now, you couldn't show David Tennant's Doctor Who was
- 35:16straight after an episode of Game of Thrones if it would look
- 35:21and it's not cheap. This is so fun.
- 35:24There's this whole interaction with the four of them where she
- 35:27takes the phone in a minute and deletes all the information on
- 35:31it, you don't need that. I'll tell you what why?
- 35:36We need better off of them. Sometimes I'm convinced of that.
- 35:42See this is good because they're introducing the DNA bomb.
- 35:46So, this is like a, check off DNA bomb.
- 35:49It's in them, but this is what she uses at the end to defeat.
- 35:54Tim sure. Yeah, pockets Oh, there's lots
- 36:01of lovely dialogue as well around her regenerating and
- 36:05being a new person and being reborn that people say all of
- 36:09cheapens dialogues really clunky.
- 36:11But there's a bit later on, which I'm going to say as she
- 36:14says it, which is really proud poetic, okay?
- 36:19Did you go? And she's kind of got quirky.
- 36:28I think they don't ask me naturally quirky, you know.
- 36:30Oh yeah. Yeah I agree.
- 36:32She's actually quite like, I mean, Matt Smith was super
- 36:35creepy and I think that she's got there was a lot of armor
- 36:42because I knew him. If I knew him in real life, I'd
- 36:45be like, oh God, is he coming to the party?
- 36:47I'm not going. Oh my God, here's temperature.
- 36:52If I can I just say this he is a fantastic than this episode's.
- 36:57I thought he was very very scary.
- 37:00I was like a predator. Yeah.
- 37:05And and and the whole idea of like the teeth in the face.
- 37:08That is hot. Yeah, actually it's Grim.
- 37:12The only thing I think is a bit disappointed.
- 37:13Tim sure, is that he's back in the finale, which is a pretty
- 37:18dreary episode. And so like the Arc of this
- 37:22season becomes well Tim Shaw just bookmarking both ends.
- 37:27I know, I'm not even be problem. I think that they should if we
- 37:29should ignore that absorbs and we should bring the stems of
- 37:32back in force and I mean, that would be quite gripping.
- 37:37I think. Plus, I mean, I said you before,
- 37:40I think that I think about resolution as the season finale
- 37:45of this season, as I just think that all I do.
- 37:49Hello, as I said to you like, it's absolutely that's where the
- 37:57season ends and that's a hell of an ending.
- 38:01I I like the idea as well. There Chris chibnall returns
- 38:08people, dying and staying dead. Now I think it's really sad the
- 38:13grace ties in this. I think she's a terrific
- 38:15character and I would have loved to have seen more her, but there
- 38:19is something Said about killing of somebody and you're a let you
- 38:23know it its life and it happens. Part of it is I think that you
- 38:28know she's really engaging in this.
- 38:29I actually loved her in this and I think that that is a massive
- 38:34Vault with the kind of not fat Yura.
- 38:37It is, it is I love a lot about it but I feel like klara's end
- 38:41was in the repeater even that was where she tightened but you
- 38:45know, when it got to that point when he got that point I was
- 38:47like, she'll be back. Well, I Knew by that point.
- 38:51I just think she's having said that I am going to contradict
- 38:55myself and I'm just really happy that bill pots did not stay
- 39:00well. Okay.
- 39:02Okay, there's something to be said about girl ports.
- 39:05Okay. So who was like groundbreaking
- 39:08in daughter who? Yeah.
- 39:10A an ethnic lesbian character who was just Adlai.
- 39:19Why the hell do they have to blow a hole in her?
- 39:23Because it was heartbreaking, is it horrible?
- 39:26It was horrible, though. He doesn't like torturing his
- 39:28companions. How interesting that the
- 39:31audience that like Russell T Davies wouldn't have done that
- 39:34to any companion because he would have been like going over.
- 39:36There are children watching. They love Rose, Tyler, they love
- 39:38Martha. They don't want to see you in
- 39:40the hole in the chassis mostly though, like I wouldn't have
- 39:42done that. because I think if I were a
- 40:22human being, So that's always had Adventures.
- 40:25I might get to a point where I say, okay to know what I'm done.
- 40:28Now, I want to go back to my one Roots.
- 40:30Whereas I don't know, I can't see myself.
- 40:33Flying around the university. Now an American Diner, I can't
- 40:37see myself, you know, having a relationship with a puddle or
- 40:40whatever happens with be or the ends of that, you know.
- 40:43Like like I quite like how its underplayed and it's more
- 40:48normal. It doesn't all have to be one
- 40:50big happy ending when epic leaving the Superhuman.
- 40:53I completely agree. They say, I've got my, I can't
- 40:55see myself, you know, having a relationship with a closer, the
- 40:57doctor, I taught you. Well, well, all right.
- 41:04Get him out the covered once a week.
- 41:06There we go. I will say though, that my only
- 41:13problem is my only problem with that is we did have the seeds
- 41:17Ryan wanting to leave throughout series 12.
- 41:19There was lots of doubts and he was thinking about his friends
- 41:22and what he's missing out on. But I feel like because it was
- 41:25that wasn't really in the special in in memory of Alex, I
- 41:30think it was it did Count blue little bit.
- 41:32I'd have been a little while since we've seen them as well
- 41:35from from the Airing of that Seasons, who haven't read, Watch
- 41:37That season before watching the special.
- 41:39I feel like that that knowledge wasn't there.
- 41:42I mean, if you'd seen you in any way, you could have had a safe
- 41:47between Graham Mariah, where Ryan is saying, you know what, I
- 41:51want to go home, because I think my friends are suffering.
- 41:53Because I'm not there and you could have had Graham saying, I
- 41:56want to go home because I want to focus on my health because he
- 41:59talks about his cancer in. Can you hear me and just laugh
- 42:02would have been enough for us to understand why they're both
- 42:05going. I just wasn't that at all, and I
- 42:08just feel like that was a missed opportunity, you know, but the
- 42:10bit where all their heads come together, I was still sad.
- 42:13I know, I know it's just nice. It's really nice.
- 42:15I do people think I don't know whether I'm is, sloppy people
- 42:18think that that it was too emotional?
- 42:21I was like, now you need that emotion.
- 42:23They are people choosing to real emotional.
- 42:25What does that even mean? I all right.
- 42:28Well it's like I know I'm old I was okay with them with the
- 42:31leaving. I'm a sound the Grimsby thing.
- 42:33I think that. Yeah and the same time he was
- 42:36under It's not episode. He was he was there was a lot
- 42:39going on in there. I don't think that was a
- 42:40terrible episode that I quite enjoy recreational though.
- 42:43I really enjoyed. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and
- 42:45I put it up online and on the instant after worshipping, they
- 42:49can fulfill their guys, I thought you loved that and
- 42:52people were like, really how dare you enjoy Doctor Who Mike
- 42:59is everybody else watching? You had Jack back Jack.
- 43:02And yeas together was just Lush a sailor. /, thank you.
- 43:08Yes. Yes, you can lash me.
- 43:10Anytime you like, This here, look right now, this change it
- 43:14stranger to who I am. There's Echoes of who I was a
- 43:17sort of call towards who I am at the whole by nerve and Trust.
- 43:21All these new instincts, describe a dialogue, you to call
- 43:25and then if they top that off with the Sonic Screwdriver would
- 43:28say, which is just phenomenal. And it's a barking man.
- 43:33That Brilliance, but I love the fact that they parallel her
- 43:37making the Sonic Screwdriver with Sheffield steel with.
- 43:40The Dalek thay are made like a year later.
- 43:42Huh. Yeah, the music here is always
- 43:46beautiful this beautiful. I watched there's a DBT extra a
- 43:52closer look at this episode where they, it's basically 10
- 43:55minutes and I've been making the scene in the doctor, making the
- 43:58Sonic Screwdriver and the director was talking about it.
- 44:01And I mean, he was very handsome.
- 44:05Have we seen the director of this episode of, however, his
- 44:08name. Those if you should be sending
- 44:11me pictures of for this though, he is a dish and they were
- 44:17talking with this and it was just Ali, I realized we've never
- 44:19seen this. You've never seen the doctor
- 44:21Mica sonic screwdriver, and this is not the train to make this
- 44:24Jody doctor this point. This is doctors hands on getting
- 44:27stuck in there. Will doing what she goes.
- 44:32Should be fine. Yeah, I love it.
- 44:36That is the doctor. They're like, why did anyone
- 44:38else need more? Convincing than that?
- 44:41That that point of that, where she looked at this food and she
- 44:46smiled Did he do smiles when she smiles?
- 44:52She's so engaging. From the beginning, we were
- 44:56talking about other things. Now, we open with Ryan on
- 44:59YouTube and I think how kinds of marvelous that this show is
- 45:04embracing what's happening currently in the world and not
- 45:08just kind of alluding to know when they decide men had those
- 45:13new pod things, you know, like in the day in the recycling,
- 45:17this was YouTube, front-and-center Ryan's making a
- 45:20video because that's what the Youth of today.
- 45:22Do I think if you watch the news, Series, you can chart it
- 45:26because you've got those dreadfully old Motorola phones
- 45:29from series one, then skip forward to like Courtney in Kill
- 45:33the moon and she's on Pinterest when that was like bitch.
- 45:37And now we're into like YouTube. While I bet in Series 13,
- 45:40someone will be doing our bloody podcast.
- 45:43Yeah, well, we'll see some tick-tocking, which is my new
- 45:47favorite way to spend an evening watching.
- 45:49Tic toc like he keeps sending me Bloody videos of cats.
- 45:56And I'm like, yes, it's what you want me to do.
- 46:00I have friends or so into it. And they were like, you have to
- 46:03go and take a fantastic those recipes.
- 46:05There's some really funny stuff. That's okay, I'll get one, I got
- 46:07it. And I was, like, I'll
- 46:08understand. I feel like you have to be young
- 46:10to understand this until I just didn't get it.
- 46:13But the more you watch, the more it shows you what you like and
- 46:18very clever if you like in the cooking stuff, it will show you
- 46:21more of a concern for the humor and now I Insidiously Tick Tock
- 46:27is wrapping his fingers around your brain is sign right next to
- 46:32it. What's occurring?
- 46:39Now, I'm lost, right? You have got Jodi be fantastic.
- 46:45The fam. Oh, you know what?
- 46:47She does here. So she leads us up a blind alley
- 46:50because she suggests that the creature, that's all kind of
- 46:55tentacles and Tim. Sure.
- 46:57I like at war with each other and that's not the case at all,
- 47:00was it? That's like a beacon.
- 47:02I think he has sent that ahead to find the person.
- 47:08He's have ding so he can get his crown.
- 47:11Why did I choose that? Manu, who's running the cranes
- 47:16then? Was that just because that's the
- 47:18first human, it may Probably, yeah, for the first hit in front
- 47:22of that, little things tracker in look who it is.
- 47:24Here it is. It's like a bad man.
- 47:29Eat more salad, Halloween. Yeah, basically, it wasn't this
- 47:34around that time as well, wasn't it aired around the time of my
- 47:37guidebooks and Halloween? I think it was, it was towards
- 47:39the end of October. So I thought it was clever.
- 47:42We are for you were going to say it was aired around the time.
- 47:44When kebabs are popular, they are always popular in my house.
- 47:46I'll tell you, I know, right? I don't even want one when I'm
- 47:51pissed though, only ever want a kebab meat.
- 47:53When I'm pissed and I understand our love our wonderful thing
- 47:58called crispy potatoes, which is basically whole potatoes have
- 48:01been deep fried foods and you can get an Apple, it will change
- 48:05your life but I'm nowhere near. How's it going to change my
- 48:08life? I'll have to come, visit to come
- 48:11down, come down. Here we go, she's confronting
- 48:24the weird thing again. I mean, she couldn't be more
- 48:28doctor. Actually do you know when I
- 48:32after this episode aired, I think talking to people online
- 48:34about this episode. There was a general consensus of
- 48:36all. That was actually really good.
- 48:38Yeah. I well remember lot people
- 48:40saying, like he achieved a lot like he managed to because
- 48:43basically, like you look at Ryan, Graham and Yaz.
- 48:46Yeah, they kind of fully formed on they.
- 48:49This is what actually, much much for them to kind of go on a
- 48:53journey because coming out of this episode, we kind of get who
- 48:57they are. Yes, I understand that.
- 49:00I just wish we had a bit more of them personally throughout
- 49:05series 11. This is what RTD did do really.
- 49:10Well. You know, the family aspect that
- 49:13kind of around the kitchen table.
- 49:15I think I do miss that, but it's certainly went away from the
- 49:18mall for the romance and why it did.
- 49:20And then he tries to do things like have Clara's family around,
- 49:23for Christmas dinner and it didn't quite work.
- 49:25Well, they're firmly, I don't even remember who I was.
- 49:30You lack the others didn't fit in.
- 49:32Well, as this, you know, they calling them say, she's calling
- 49:34them her farm and they are actually a fam and then if
- 49:38people object to that, as well. But like, I, so a friend of mine
- 49:42makes a great reading of that, that the doctors trying to be
- 49:44hip and is trying to use like the language of the youth, but
- 49:48it doesn't quite get it. Right.
- 49:49And that's really lovely, that that is completely private
- 49:53credit as well. No, she's trying to be cool.
- 49:56And she's not, and that's why I identify with her.
- 50:00He's why, I guess, you try and use the language of the.
- 50:02You think you're not cool in any way, shape, or form?
- 50:05I think you're very cool. Thanks.
- 50:09I appreciate that right then. But then I'm not call.
- 50:11So, and that's why I think she's awkward.
- 50:15I mean, I love that she's awkward.
- 50:17I think I'm very awkward person. I just I really identify with
- 50:21this doctor perhaps as well, and so much.
- 50:24But I will say one thing that, that, that scene later on the
- 50:27Graham does confide in her about he, how he's been here.
- 50:30Come surgery, brushes it off. Okay, I'm I was a bit like, no,
- 50:36I think that was all the god teeth on faced, our chief don't
- 50:39want to face this. That's fantastic.
- 50:42Those so scary as well. Be watching that 7:00 on bbc1.
- 50:46T stuck in people's face I don't want to send him something that
- 50:49you normally have country followed instead we're watching
- 50:57and then this it is lovely though because the idea that he
- 51:00X 12 through each victim. Look how many teeth on his face.
- 51:04I know, right? And who knows what his whole
- 51:06body. Looks like you've lost a tooth
- 51:10or some point in your life. Yes, absolutely.
- 51:13Stink like teeth with face mask from week as a whole nother
- 51:20level. But yeah, I did have an issue
- 51:24with the way. The doctor reacted when Korea
- 51:26was talking about his cancer. And she, and she was just like,
- 51:29I'm supposed to be reading. I do now by security Oakwood.
- 51:32Some that will glaive. I was like no, no that wasn't.
- 51:35That wasn't. Okay.
- 51:35Who's like that? Okay.
- 51:37So I so I get what you're saying.
- 51:41I think - I think why I think perhaps people don't want the
- 51:45doctor to be that person. They want to be if they wanted
- 51:47us to be the person that is able to comfort people.
- 51:52When my mom died, I had that conversation with a lot of
- 51:58people and I saw I saw that reaction a lot of times because
- 52:03some people just don't know how to respond to somebody grieving.
- 52:07So I think it is, it's realistic in how its depicted, but I
- 52:13understand the objection that people just wish the doctor
- 52:15wasn't that person. I know.
- 52:17And that was the end be to that episode, you know?
- 52:20And I just, I just to me. It almost felt like it came from
- 52:23nowhere. I feel like if she said
- 52:25something else after that, just been like, I'm supposed to
- 52:27something really encouraging by fear.
- 52:30Awkward, but you'll get there. That's all I would it be good?
- 52:34You know, that little extra couple of lines but it was
- 52:37deliver it. Well, that was a deliberate
- 52:39character and creative choice but I think maybe it backfire
- 52:43because a lot of people object to it.
- 52:44But yeah. No, I'm okay.
- 52:47A lot of people as well say that she doesn't have confrontations
- 52:50with Villas. Hello.
- 52:52Oh no, it's happening. Her like full-on anger there at
- 52:55him and you can see it. Look at that serious face.
- 52:59She's got to love it. There.
- 53:02I liked the bit where she runs up the alleyway and just goes,
- 53:05oh boy. That's how I'd confront a
- 53:10villain. Recently I've been copied on a
- 53:15date with someone goes a bit like how can we all this is a
- 53:24complete site track right? But you know what?
- 53:26The worst date I ever went on was I'm gone tell you this.
- 53:29All right just in this part because they were only did
- 53:32There's the Man talking about him being valued and we do next
- 53:36so he was a doctor and he was so pretentious right?
- 53:43Reached over the table at one point, took my hand and when Joe
- 53:47I save lives, you know, I don't know.
- 53:52So I responded. I put bread on the Shelf.
- 54:01There are some very arrogant gay men out there, are there there
- 54:07are, but thankfully, it's not all of us.
- 54:09Thank god. Well, I sure what?
- 54:11This fellow here, right, in dies in a minute, he gets just this
- 54:15little moment where he talks to his granddaughter and he's the
- 54:17person, he's not just a victim, didn't expect this because it
- 54:24giving him so much resolution where Are you know the cute gay
- 54:32guy says all my hands are the most important digits and then
- 54:36he dies. Yeah, everybody complains about
- 54:39that because he's gay, right? No one complains about the old
- 54:42getting this? I know, I know and that right
- 54:45there is the problem with Twitter, right?
- 54:47What you just said that, that is my problem.
- 54:49I don't understand this, you know, they were trying to give
- 54:52him a bit more character than just a throwaway person even
- 54:54though it is a bit of the throwaway person.
- 54:59And you can't say, right that Chippewa does not write in or in
- 55:04his heroic decent gay characters.
- 55:06What about practice, that fantastic relationship between
- 55:09those two men. I've Heard lots of problems with
- 55:12people with that, as well. Honestly, you cannot beat
- 55:17everybody. And I think that to be the show
- 55:19and of Doctor Who you have to know that in spades, You see her
- 55:24up at the up at the fence there. Did you see that?
- 55:27That was the publicity picture with all of them around her.
- 55:31I got you. So make it look as if Grace was
- 55:34going to be like, because I think to myself, is it going to
- 55:36be for companions? Yeah, but see, that's the thing.
- 55:39I felt like that with. So tortured series one, Susie in
- 55:44the first episode. Spoiler on the end, over a
- 55:48decade. And I do like when the title of
- 56:03anything has a couple of different meanings.
- 56:06I love that. Yeah.
- 56:08No. You think it's about the doctor
- 56:10falling from the sky but it's not, it's about Grace falling
- 56:14from this crane. And also I love the fact that
- 56:18the first senior convinced that Ryan's talking Off the docks are
- 56:23on YouTube. The most important woman and
- 56:26he's not assault and it really is bringing that emphasis back
- 56:30on the characters, which I think we've lost in the last or six
- 56:34years. Yeah, no. 100% is a lot of heart
- 56:38in this and what's really sad is, she's got all this agency
- 56:42and she's like, oh, I really loving this and he's like, no,
- 56:45don't go. Don't go.
- 56:46She's like, no, no, I'm gonna do it.
- 56:48Yeah, you forget. It's like that.
- 56:52You get caught up in the doctor. You forget.
- 56:54It's like for that. Oh, my fuck this.
- 56:56If I was told to climb out on that crane.
- 57:00No, I I know I don't know though.
- 57:03If a man with like teeth all over his face was coming after
- 57:06me. Yeah.
- 57:09I'd consider it I'd be like shit is that man I went on a date
- 57:15with quick. I'm gonna pop I'm out on the
- 57:17crane. This whole sequence of her,
- 57:23though, off on the crane, where she says, I am the doctor.
- 57:27This is huge. This is my step again, this is
- 57:30Cinematic look that what you're you're a big fan of Buffy and,
- 57:34you know, there's a very important episode that ends up
- 57:37on the crane. I think there are some parallels
- 57:39here. Oh yeah.
- 57:41And represent and actually funding, that's true of know.
- 57:43Obviously. He shall run season 2 of
- 57:45Torchwood. There's a lot of Buffy and Angel
- 57:48James Marsters. But that might not even be
- 57:52standing, there's a lot of things, there's that scene where
- 57:55Jack is in a church, sneaking through a nest of Weevil, trying
- 57:59to get the other gloves. And and just the way that it's
- 58:03written in the beats and how its silent, then he makes a noise,
- 58:05he looks up and he kind of cut to something else, that's very
- 58:08Buffy. Well, there's a glorious bit of
- 58:10the video where she runs off that Crane and and that is
- 58:14literally taken from the gift. You can see the influence And
- 58:20what we got in the gift. You've got a strong impressive
- 58:24female character in the woman who fell to work.
- 58:26You've got a strong impressive female character.
- 58:30Yeah, we've just got a slightly less troubling show Runner
- 58:34behind you. Yeah I know.
- 58:37And I was I was thinking no should we bring up a fee?
- 58:40But I think it's okay. I think it's okay to still enjoy
- 58:43it. Acknowledge that terrible.
- 58:45Things may have happened behind the scenes.
- 58:47Yeah, I know. That is so sad.
- 58:50Oh, She has a Lloyd here. I'm going to figure out why I
- 58:53plan on the way up, that is so in the doctor.
- 58:56Yes. Oh yeah, 100% and it just like,
- 58:58really, we're going to know. We're gonna be fantastic.
- 59:03Like this, this door. Fantastic viewing figures as
- 59:06well. Didn't it?
- 59:07Didn't this like yeah. It's just really close.
- 59:18So, I am sad that those those raised to die for our series of
- 59:22Evan. Yeah.
- 59:26But I think that's always the way you're always going to get
- 59:27them in at the beginning, like local Capaldi's.
- 59:30First episode got like 8 million, or something like that.
- 59:32And then it went straight down to like four or five.
- 59:35I think in the end. Yeah, I think
- 59:48there was such a massive press chip.
- 59:53The one thing that guaranteed publicity And that was he made
- 59:56the doctor a woman? Yeah.
- 1:00:00And you know what? It's the right call and how do
- 1:00:03you feel about Missy, Michelle. Gomez of messy why I actually
- 1:00:07think that was? That was a very carefully done.
- 1:00:10Try wrong for this. Was, it was and I would love to
- 1:00:14see Jodie Whittaker and Missy. Yeah, I am all about that life.
- 1:00:20I want that to happen but I do love a with Sacha to all as
- 1:00:23well. So it's Hold on, prevent bring
- 1:00:26it back. I Think I Love Lucy.
- 1:00:31Well I'm still waiting for the crossover video featuring Ryan
- 1:00:37Sinclair and the Sacha to one master where they're just at it
- 1:00:40all the time because my God, I'm there for that.
- 1:00:46Now, I better give you some clues of the pornography that I
- 1:00:49peruse. I'm tired.
- 1:00:52I was Googling and I was doing some in stories in the day
- 1:00:56about. It was David Tennant, 50th
- 1:00:59birthday and I wanted to do a little host with him, and I will
- 1:01:02try to find a picture of the Tenth Doctor and Jack Harkness.
- 1:01:05So I Googled Tenth Doctor and Jack Harkness.
- 1:01:07And let me tell you, oh my god, really my browser is open to any
- 1:01:14sort of image that point because There was a lot of fan art
- 1:01:18happening but it works well that that just tells us all that you
- 1:01:22have the non-explicit part taking off your search engine is
- 1:01:28a clearly clearly do because it was shocking.
- 1:01:40Like like in terms of like a hero moment.
- 1:01:43Yeah but Capaldi didn't have one.
- 1:01:45I don't think in deep breath. I know that I can remember.
- 1:01:51He has the the confrontation with the villain and then the
- 1:01:53villain falls out but that's kind of know what the deep
- 1:01:56breath. I feel like I'm actually
- 1:02:00watching again soon. I think I fancy the re-watched
- 1:02:02been a while. I feel like they were contending
- 1:02:04with a bunch of stuff in that episode obviously compiled.
- 1:02:07You'd been in Doctor Who before some of that situation about,
- 1:02:11recognizing the face, I always feel like it's like, is that a
- 1:02:15hangover from that Miss time? Because you've got the
- 1:02:17paternoster gang, and then they never appear again, and I love
- 1:02:21them. And I just finished reading a
- 1:02:23book. I know, I do, I - Lee, I love
- 1:02:25them. I just finished reading the book
- 1:02:26a call at these concerts silhouette which is The doctor
- 1:02:29and Clara and topped off and Cara investigating a carnival of
- 1:02:34Curiosities. In a frost fair.
- 1:02:37Oh well, I'm such a good book. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
- 1:02:41And there in that, I want more of them, I do enjoy sometimes
- 1:02:45with the first episode of a new doctor does half back and remind
- 1:02:51you that the same corrupt. And I know you've got if you got
- 1:02:55season 12, I blew right. Well then robot Very much a
- 1:02:59hangover from pertwee's time 100% if I know that having not
- 1:03:04seen any good sweet. But I like, I mean, you know,
- 1:03:07you had like Cassandra didn't you in New Earth which was like
- 1:03:10it was just going to remind you where you were.
- 1:03:13And I think that's what they that's what the person after
- 1:03:15going did for compelte. Just to make you all seized with
- 1:03:19jealousy. Like is currently slowly
- 1:03:22exploring classic Who for the first time one of them lasted
- 1:03:27and now I am I would call myself a doctor who obsessive.
- 1:03:33But I became to who in 2005 and re-watch the new hukill time,
- 1:03:38but you know what? I've see, I've heard people
- 1:03:39criticized as not true fans, whatever the fuck that means
- 1:03:44because they've only come to Doctor Who via the new series.
- 1:03:48Oh, get over yourselves. You can come to Doctor Who now
- 1:03:52in the woman who fell to Earth and still be a doctor who fan.
- 1:03:55Yeah. And think what it would be like
- 1:03:56to watch those different ones for the first time.
- 1:03:59Yeah. Jesus.
- 1:04:00No. Oh no.
- 1:04:09These were fantastic. I don't like to see more of
- 1:04:11these two together. I kind of jet go to to the idea
- 1:04:15of them exploring gree throughout this season, by a
- 1:04:17Graham because I think that's really well done.
- 1:04:20The bit where he goes home and sees her.
- 1:04:24Okay, after my mom passed I had to clear out flat and I
- 1:04:30absolutely went through those moments.
- 1:04:32It's hot very real. Yeah I remember This is great
- 1:04:39dialogue as well. We can choose who we want to be,
- 1:04:42and that's a really good thing to say to kids as well.
- 1:04:45You can choose to be a good person kids or to be a couple of
- 1:04:48yourself. Yes.
- 1:05:01So in our fair play, throughout the universe, come on.
- 1:05:09And that's a great line back. There is a weird bit in a
- 1:05:13minute, though. We're Where this guy chooses to
- 1:05:19kill him or we thinking him and she's really angry about it as a
- 1:05:22shame. Yeah.
- 1:05:24The similar to, when they Harrier Jones, fires on the
- 1:05:30sycorax, in the Christmas Invasion, think of was a half
- 1:05:33back to that, you know, humans can be monsters to not just
- 1:05:36people with teeth in their face. I think Russell Davis pulls
- 1:05:39those reversals a bit better, though, you know, that kind of,
- 1:05:42you know, we're in the Christmas invasion.
- 1:05:43They were like, yeah, woo, they going Going.
- 1:05:46And then it's like, oh shit. They've been destroyed.
- 1:05:50We're going to twist the immediate risk of like the your
- 1:05:52relation to the yeah. Do you remember in the end of
- 1:05:56time? We're at the David.
- 1:05:58Tell us like yeah, I'm alive. I'm alive and it's like knock,
- 1:06:01knock, knock knock. Oh, Erin ends.
- 1:06:06Oh, come on Grace. Just just climb down.
- 1:06:08One down for step away. We think it's a bit too busy
- 1:06:13with four people but we're willing to let a 5.
- 1:06:16We'll be in the Tardis if you survive, isn't that strange but
- 1:06:20it's a cuz it's a real relationship and this episode.
- 1:06:23They were you doing you just come across as that?
- 1:06:25Yeah, Yasin and Ryan's relationship in.
- 1:06:28This is really interesting real. And I'm, oh, and it's just
- 1:06:33that's what you want to see. And I feel like, you know, that
- 1:06:37the kind of it's a double-edged sword, season 11, you get so
- 1:06:40much of Jody getting being given so much dialogue and so much to
- 1:06:45do and see Say, and then they become a bit of The Spectator to
- 1:06:49round her and it's a double-edged sword, because
- 1:06:52you're missing what the companions can bring, because
- 1:06:54there's a lot of them. So you'll feel different.
- 1:07:00If there were quite a lot of areas where the action sort of
- 1:07:03stopped. And so there's that bitten Rosa
- 1:07:05between Ryan and Yaz, we're talking about racism.
- 1:07:08But that Brilliance oranga conundrum where the plot stops
- 1:07:12and Yaz and Ryan talk about Ryan's dad's.
- 1:07:16There's the bit is Demons of the Punjab where Graham and yeas
- 1:07:21talk about traveling with the doctor.
- 1:07:23And the really nice sort of moments.
- 1:07:27It is there. Maybe series 11 needs to be
- 1:07:31rewashed by both of us. Maybe.
- 1:07:34I mean again it's been a little while for me.
- 1:07:39As well as he found himself as well.
- 1:07:43That video, he looks something I need to learn from him.
- 1:07:47Me too. This is what I knew as well.
- 1:07:51This was something quite different because they do the
- 1:07:54code of of the funeral. Yes, Moffitt would not do that.
- 1:07:58No, No. So we're dealing with the
- 1:08:02emotional consequences of losing.
- 1:08:04Somebody really this? Absolute has it all?
- 1:08:08Yeah. Yeah, and I know some people
- 1:08:12that have certain my friend Jack thinks.
- 1:08:15This is the strongest episode of the chip molera, very strong.
- 1:08:19It is very strong. I think there are better ones
- 1:08:22but I think this is a terrific open.
- 1:08:26This is my favorite of Legacy, introducing a new doctor hundred
- 1:08:30percent. I really enjoy it.
- 1:08:34Oh, bless him. I mean this this scenery as
- 1:08:37well, let's just hope this. This spotlights like a British
- 1:08:41landscape. Beautiful?
- 1:08:42Yeah, that's refreshing to see a sub 2.
- 1:08:47That we saw so many of the shots of the London Skyline.
- 1:08:52Think I'm intrigued to see what the new seasons for to look like
- 1:08:54because they're obviously only filming in and around Cardiff
- 1:08:58was shot there of her watching him.
- 1:09:01That's a lovely image reasonably damage and she's understanding
- 1:09:07him and she's seeing who he is, he's determined, I do like that
- 1:09:11about him. Oh, look at him.
- 1:09:15Lone Wolf. They're waiting for his dad.
- 1:09:17She don't my favorite writers, although it's where they try and
- 1:09:20make him really masculine River in the ghost of on.
- 1:09:22Um, where's like? I've got my God, I'm gonna go
- 1:09:25and get her and then they all start shooting them, he's like,
- 1:09:32Approaching a really awkward conversation and I think that's
- 1:09:37the problem with that saying is she's already shown to be kind
- 1:09:42of very emotionally mature and able to deal with that stuff.
- 1:09:46Yeah. So, maybe she's just for old,
- 1:09:50you know, where I can't, I just can't deal with you today gray
- 1:09:52eyebrows. I'm going to say, I'm really
- 1:09:53awkward. Yeah, lady, maybe, I don't know.
- 1:09:58Oh, this is beautiful. So I'm going to tell you, okay,
- 1:10:02cuz I've been through this a few times but I had to give the
- 1:10:07eulogy at my mom's funeral. I wish I could have been as
- 1:10:13eloquent as he is there. I was a fucking mess.
- 1:10:18There was like, Snot, bubbles coming out of my nose.
- 1:10:21I think anybody would be in this.
- 1:10:24This is, this is This is really unique, actually, another way he
- 1:10:29plays it. Look at it.
- 1:10:30Look at his he's sort of smiling, but sad and it's very
- 1:10:35nuanced, actually. I think I think he really won us
- 1:10:40all over in this episode. We were like, yeah, we're here
- 1:10:43for Graham rehearsing if a Graham, but what we learned the
- 1:10:46lesson, what have we learned the lesson of people going?
- 1:10:49Oh my God. It's, you know, it's him from
- 1:10:51the chase. What's he gonna bring?
- 1:10:53Like he has done a ton of acting before?
- 1:10:57Actually, I think that the, if you can be funny, if you can be
- 1:11:00scripted and be funny like comedians on our, I think they
- 1:11:04probably the best kind of actors to play the other heightened
- 1:11:08emotions as well. I think that you have you
- 1:11:10talking about Catherine, Tate, you know, I have quite a high
- 1:11:12hopes for John Bishop now after this, at his announcement but
- 1:11:17Donna just just knocked it out of the park dingy all.
- 1:11:23Yeah, she absolutely did. And I think probably the
- 1:11:25emotional highs the Absolute emotional highs, a doctor who
- 1:11:29are in series for its her. When she's in Pompeii at the
- 1:11:33end, it's her when she loses her kids, in the forest of the Dead,
- 1:11:37is her in the whole of turn left, right?
- 1:11:40And then and then when she has her memories taken away like
- 1:11:43that extraordinary, I think. So think about that.
- 1:11:46Think about all the other Donna went through.
- 1:11:48That's what. That's what them the doctor and
- 1:11:50Donna was all about. Like we didn't see that with you
- 1:11:54as really yummy seen that yet. I think the emotion is as it is
- 1:11:58a lot more subtle. Wasn't it is is but you know
- 1:12:03what? Like it's a tough one because I
- 1:12:05think this is more realistic. I don't think life is
- 1:12:08hysterical, like it was with Donna, but that's more, that's
- 1:12:11more interesting to watch and it's more of a challenge for an
- 1:12:13actress. And represent, that's why I
- 1:12:17think when we can win, we from dopes dogs, to be kind of the
- 1:12:19green. And when we're leaving pre
- 1:12:22steaiing revolution of the Daleks, and then we have those
- 1:12:24extra scenes that Yaz was like, front and center and doing more.
- 1:12:28And I was like, this is intentional.
- 1:12:29Obviously this guy's to seem like they're giving her more now
- 1:12:32and she could have had that throughout this whole thing.
- 1:12:34Yeah, although that bit in this room conundrum, where she keeps
- 1:12:38the pting down, the corridor Italy?
- 1:12:40Yeah, it is hilarious. It is hilarious.
- 1:12:42Sure. Don't mind that episodes.
- 1:12:44No, I don't know. Find there.
- 1:12:47You know, I think it's very responsible, welcome back to
- 1:12:49Ryan very quickly to show a young man, struggling with
- 1:12:54grief. You don't often see like young
- 1:12:58hip been dealing with that sort of stuff on TV.
- 1:13:02I love the fact. She gets it from a charity shop
- 1:13:04as well. I know, I've been using, I gotta
- 1:13:06say that. I do love a charity shop.
- 1:13:08And right, I do too. On this board, there she is.
- 1:13:18Him doing that. That's essentially what I do in
- 1:13:20my oven, while the heart all about design and stuff.
- 1:13:22So we going these designer shops and I'm just reading the
- 1:13:24incredible views. Yeah, yeah, I'm watching your
- 1:13:27YouTube channel, whilst you know, he's here.
- 1:13:32Although this whole sequence as well, leading to a cliffhanger.
- 1:13:35Yeah. And I didn't expect, I don't
- 1:13:37know why I expected but I welcomed it.
- 1:13:41Look at the lighting in this scene.
- 1:13:43How beautiful she looks like how these delicious, but even if
- 1:13:49it's not a set, that's an actual location.
- 1:13:51That, you know, that the thing it looks looks real and grimy
- 1:13:54and dirty. And it's just, it's stunning
- 1:13:56stunning on screen and whilst I do really like Peter Capaldi.
- 1:14:01Yeah. Like I'm not going to be ageist
- 1:14:03but there was a kind of a sense that, you know, this is a grumpy
- 1:14:07old man. Traveling around the universe,
- 1:14:09suddenly the doctors young and fresh, and like ready to go on
- 1:14:14adventures. And I feel like, that's a good
- 1:14:16stepping on point 100%. You needed to be, could be
- 1:14:19different because it was so sort of towards the end of capacities
- 1:14:23when he got to that really dark face and you needed some light
- 1:14:26and it had to be late because you're not quite often for the
- 1:14:28doctor is kind of a opposite or to what it was he was So she was
- 1:14:32before. See that insane.
- 1:14:34Lash-up she's made that as very doctorate as well like part
- 1:14:38microwave parte Ariel but yeah. Gosh the lion is extraordinary
- 1:14:44the same. This whole season is like this
- 1:14:48time. I love it.
- 1:14:49I think it's, you know, it's beautiful.
- 1:14:51Yeah. She doesn't know and it's the
- 1:15:00microwave going. And then there's the Cliffhanger
- 1:15:07because I remember thinking, what the fuck are they gonna get
- 1:15:10out of this? Yeah, Look at right here.
- 1:15:20He's like what? And you know what Mesa is that
- 1:15:27last scene where we're really far away and there's nothing to
- 1:15:31save them, you know. Yeah, I genuinely couldn't wait
- 1:15:35until next week. I was like, yes, oh I'm sorry.
- 1:15:38I'm going to let this play into the ending because you know
- 1:15:40what's coming up on you. The fabulous guest actors of
- 1:15:43series 11? Yes I do.
- 1:15:47I do like a trailer. It wasn't it was a new way of
- 1:15:50doing it. Wasn't it was it was I enjoy
- 1:15:52your trailer. Let's just say hello.
- 1:15:55Highlight now. From kablam.
- 1:16:08Oh, I love that man, from Punjab has gorgeous handsome and I was
- 1:16:15so I was the guy from Sarang go as well.
- 1:16:18Yeah. I'll Siobhan finneran in the
- 1:16:22which binders. You know what?
- 1:16:25I think that's another underrated episodes.
- 1:16:28All right. Malik.
- 1:16:35He didn't really do much today but he was there.
- 1:16:39No, but they saved the net Robinson for last on Earth.
- 1:16:51Alan, Cumming. All right.
- 1:16:58I like him. He says the, which Fighters.
- 1:17:06What is it? I don't need the mask, I just do
- 1:17:09it for the drama. I like my God, that man is
- 1:17:13practically me. Really cynical, but more on that
- 1:18:04later. I'm going to ask you a question
- 1:18:06now, which I ask at the end of all these on the back of that
- 1:18:09wonderful country, why should people now go and grab the woman
- 1:18:14who fell to Earth from their shelves and put it on
- 1:18:17immediately is epic. It is such a big starting point
- 1:18:26for what does tuned in. I think to be quite a dynamic.
- 1:18:31Akira, I think it really is a very interesting time.
- 1:18:34I think it's a really nice refresher to cool Jody, who job
- 1:18:40is. Doctor is a really great
- 1:18:41introduction, that there's a lot of heart, there's action, it's
- 1:18:45stunning music, everything to do with this episode is a Cocker
- 1:18:49especifically. It's got a lot going for it.
- 1:18:53This little flap, like, most Doctor Who episode Not without
- 1:19:01not really did. I think it's got everything and
- 1:19:03I just think that it would, it's, you would benefit your
- 1:19:06life to watch it. So, you think, you know, I
- 1:19:10usually I add something to what the person says, but I can't not
- 1:19:14really sure what I can add to. Okay, Jody whisker is absolutely
- 1:19:17beautiful. And here, what?
- 1:19:19Excuse do you need more than that?
- 1:19:21And a terrific actress and, you know, I want to say one more
- 1:19:24time. I just compelling choice to play
- 1:19:28the Dozer. Like, if we're talking about
- 1:19:30That contrast from Doctor to doctor from Capaldi to Whitaker.
- 1:19:34Yeah, it's very important. I think you need it.
- 1:19:38It's lifted the whole series again and it's made you as meet
- 1:19:41me and we don't just want to watch more.
- 1:19:44And when last question I'm going to ask you is, should I be able
- 1:19:49to entice you back to do? Another one of these?
- 1:19:53I kind of know that I might be able to do that because we
- 1:19:55talked about this beforehand. What would you imagine?
- 1:19:59We would watch Why back right? Well I obviously I'm interested
- 1:20:05in watching more Classics. That would be really fun and
- 1:20:10classy. I think I think it'd be quite an
- 1:20:12interesting perspective to have to talk about the classic
- 1:20:16episode. There's somebody who is new to
- 1:20:19watching it, that makes sense and yet still a complete
- 1:20:22obsessive completely obsessed. I am completely obsessed but I
- 1:20:26would also like to I am I think I feel myself Stuff about to
- 1:20:31embark on a Capaldi Marathon, okay, I feel like I've got to
- 1:20:34jump back in and so I feel like with those fresh in my mind,
- 1:20:38they would be a treat. Okay.
- 1:20:41Oh I, so let's do this live on air.
- 1:20:44Put a pillow Capaldi episode and it's yours.
- 1:20:46Go for it. Okay.
- 1:20:48Oh no, just one maybe pressure, no pressure, If it's not been
- 1:20:53done yet, World enough and time. Thank you very much for your
- 1:21:13time. It has been off and on like it's
- 1:21:16been a complete pleasure and thanks until next time,
- 1:21:22absolutely.
