00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.080
Hello, dear listener, and welcome back to Jody and Terra, the only Doctor Who flash cast that's still wondering how Mr. and Mrs. Lewis knew it was called a probic vent.

2
00:00:10.140 --> 00:00:12.720
They'd probably seen the Time Warrior.

3
00:00:12.779 --> 00:00:14.339
I'm Nathan.

4
00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:16.440
I'm Todd.

5
00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:17.579
I'm pizza.

6
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:19.140
And I'm Simon.

7
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:23.100
So we're here just a few hours.

8
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.399
Well, you know, maybe 50 hours after watching, not quite that many.

9
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:37.859
After watching episode two, chapter two, I should say, of Flux, which was unpromisingly titled War of the Santarans by Chris Chipnell.

10
00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:42.659
And I am going to ask the question I ask every week.

11
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.479
How do we think the episode went?

12
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:54.000
And given that Brendan and his His much beloved brand of optimism about this era isn't here.

13
00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:58.679
I'm going to start with Peter.

14
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:05.939
I thought this was the most broadly enjoyable Doctor Who that Chipmull has ever written.

15
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.480
Um, episode writing just seems to suit him more.

16
00:01:09.540 --> 00:01:14.099
They were diverting throw away ideas like the TARDIS with no doors.

17
00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:18.299
I like the splitting of the story threads amongst the regulars.

18
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:22.799
It meant that it moved and it cut between things and Dan got the comedy.

19
00:01:22.859 --> 00:01:23.760
Jody got the darkness.

20
00:01:23.819 --> 00:01:25.019
Yaz got the exposition.

21
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.299
So, you know, everyone had something to do.

22
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.239
Those are genders rather than roles, aren't they?

23
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.980
And it just suited Jody, by the way.

24
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:43.799
I wish the doctor had had this classic sort of combination of gravitas and sarcasm at any point of the last 2 seasons.

25
00:01:43.859 --> 00:01:49.500
She even gets some business with pretending that she's not the doctor to the Santarans.

26
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.379
And I think it was just a lighter touch than we've had in a long time.

27
00:01:53.099 --> 00:01:55.140
What about you, Simon?

28
00:01:55.739 --> 00:01:58.200
Look, I have to agree.

29
00:01:58.260 --> 00:02:03.480
I was, really, dissatisfied with last week's.

30
00:02:03.540 --> 00:02:04.799
It left me cold.

31
00:02:04.859 --> 00:02:06.659
It was sound and fury signifying nothing.

32
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.300
I just couldn't get engaged with it and I didn't care about it.

33
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:15.180
This week, though, is an amazing contrast, I was gripped from the very beginning.

34
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:22.800
Um, I mean, I think the story builds really well and there's a proper sense of mystery rather than just stuff going on that we don't understand.

35
00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:25.020
You actually are interested in the stuff that you don't understand.

36
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:27.300
Um, swarm.

37
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.520
What a sensational villain.

38
00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:30.780
I mean, he was fine last week.

39
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:43.800
I sort of thought, I guess, but this week he is the perfect Doctor Who villain, the actor walks that beautiful fine line between being arch and a bit camp whilst also being menacing rather than just looking ridiculous.

40
00:02:43.860 --> 00:02:49.199
It does that great kind of standing with his hand on his tips like Quillum from vengeance on Zara.

41
00:02:49.259 --> 00:03:00.719
Yes, and the stance and the shoulder pads and the little sachet he does as he walks down the stairs in the in the in the temple. absolutely superb.

42
00:03:00.780 --> 00:03:08.340
And having, as Peter said, that block of time where a proper block of time where the companions are separated from the doctor.

43
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.860
And just to sort of answer, your point will extend your point, Peter, about Jody being really good.

44
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:21.300
I think that's because she's not being surrounded by the companions, which she sort of is, especially because there's been so many of them at once.

45
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:37.620
Um, I think a doctor needs to be out by themselves with, you know, meeting new people because that's where I think they can express those parts of themselves, the, the, the sarcasm and that the, you know, the snarkiness, um, without constantly looking like they're being rude to the companions.

46
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.479
I just think it just worked really well.

47
00:03:39.539 --> 00:03:45.539
And having a cliffhanger, a proper cliffhanger, that builds up in the final moments.

48
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.280
I mean, I really felt like I was 10 years old again.

49
00:03:47.340 --> 00:03:49.860
Mm, that cliffhang was great.

50
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.400
It had a sort of inferno, I want to say five.

51
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:53.879
Yes.

52
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.340
Where there's a countdown.

53
00:03:56.340 --> 00:04:00.840
And doesn't you hear the finger click after we go into the closing credits?

54
00:04:00.900 --> 00:04:01.979
It's terrible again.

55
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.139
That's not cheated next week where the finger is not clicked.

56
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:05.939
Someone just says...

57
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:06.719
Oh, I was kidding.

58
00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:10.259
I was kidding.

59
00:04:10.259 --> 00:04:11.939
And Todd.

60
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:17.339
I ask myself, what would Terence Dix do?

61
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.399
And so I said 8 out of 10.

62
00:04:21.779 --> 00:04:24.480
It was really, really good.

63
00:04:24.540 --> 00:04:30.240
You know, and I agree with everything that both Peter and Simon have said.

64
00:04:30.300 --> 00:04:38.279
I love the swarm, villain, and his sister, they are just, they, they pitched perfectly.

65
00:04:38.339 --> 00:04:40.680
I love that they were all split up.

66
00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:43.139
The throwback to things like links.

67
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:44.459
I thought that was just lovely.

68
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:45.959
There was tumour.

69
00:04:46.019 --> 00:04:58.439
The Santarians had never been better or I think explored better, you know, in terms of, you know, the use of the probic vent and their and their whole operation on what's going on.

70
00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:00.720
I just really liked all of that stuff.

71
00:05:00.779 --> 00:05:11.160
I mean, I've got some quibbles over a few things, but I actually thought the doctor was written really well, and that's what's really held back, Jody.

72
00:05:11.220 --> 00:05:20.459
If, and I said off, um, of this earlier that, you know, had this been like her 3rd or 3rd or 4th episode.

73
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:27.060
I would have a completely different opinion of both her doctor and Chris Chibnon.

74
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:27.779
Mm.

75
00:05:27.779 --> 00:05:28.620
Mm.

76
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.100
Yeah, I mean, I really, really liked it.

77
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.500
I think 60 minutes is probably slightly too long.

78
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:43.800
Um, but, and like I have to say that I, I, given what he was attempting to do last week, I kind of like last week as well.

79
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.279
But what I thought was really good here.

80
00:05:47.339 --> 00:05:56.040
I had originally thought the structure would be, here's a bunch of act ones, you know, going from place to place and a big exciting space thing happening.

81
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:05.819
And then we would have the Sontarian episode and we'd have the, God knows what episode and we'd have the Weeping Angels episode and we'd have, you know, die trapped in a house episode.

82
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:09.300
And then we'd all be back together at the end of this episode.

83
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:10.500
Yeah, terrible episode.

84
00:06:10.620 --> 00:06:17.220
And then we'd all be back at the end for the Armageddon factor, you know, and it would all go to hell.

85
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:24.720
And what surprised and delighted me was that, um, it's not going to be like that.

86
00:06:24.779 --> 00:06:28.079
It is a little bit more like his serialised stuff.

87
00:06:28.139 --> 00:06:41.399
It's a little bit more like Broadchurch, where there's a kind of main focus and a satisfactory arc, you know, a thing happens and gets resolved and stuff, but there's other stuff going on still keeping the central mystery going.

88
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:55.199
And also the, and also each episode is about something like, yeah, this is this on Tara next episode, and obviously next week's going to be the start of an episode, but you don't feel that the overarching story is just grafted on.

89
00:06:55.259 --> 00:07:01.560
Um, you know, and in the last 60 seconds in the 1st 60 seconds with a sort of an episode in the middle.

90
00:07:01.620 --> 00:07:07.079
It's, it's, it's effectively, effectively, the Santarian story is the B plot of this episode.

91
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.000
And next week it'll be something else.

92
00:07:09.060 --> 00:07:15.420
And I think the problem with last week's in comparison was that it was all the B plots all smoosh together and you couldn't work out.

93
00:07:15.420 --> 00:07:17.459
What am I supposed to be focussed on here?

94
00:07:17.459 --> 00:07:22.139
Because you still get like early in this episode when Yaz arrives in the temple.

95
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.300
You get the guy from 1820 appearing.

96
00:07:24.420 --> 00:07:25.019
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

97
00:07:25.019 --> 00:07:26.579
Whereas we have, we haven't had the moment.

98
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:32.220
Yeah, yeah, we haven't had the angel woman the turn up this time.

99
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:40.199
So maybe, maybe, maybe some of last week's introduction could have been scattered into this week's and I think it would have improved last week's a little bit as a result.

100
00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:44.699
But yeah, I was really, really surprised, but...

101
00:07:44.699 --> 00:07:46.620
And the villains are folded in well.

102
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:51.899
The swarm kind of make an interesting appearance and play an interesting kind of minor role until the end.

103
00:07:52.019 --> 00:07:53.339
Yeah.

104
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:58.259
So can we talk, can we talk about the Santarans?

105
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:03.899
We did touch on that sort of fairly briefly, but Peter, what do you think of them in this episode?

106
00:08:04.259 --> 00:08:11.579
Um, I, I agree with what Todd was saying earlier about the fact that they are actually really well done.

107
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.319
And it's interesting because Chibinal apparently had his issues with 80s Doctor Who.

108
00:08:16.379 --> 00:08:17.160
This is on record.

109
00:08:17.220 --> 00:08:19.079
But he minds the 80s.

110
00:08:19.139 --> 00:08:24.300
So these Santarans are much more like the 2 doctors, Santarans, than they are like lynx or Styre.

111
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.680
And I'm not on board with that because I like the 2 doctors Sontarians.

112
00:08:28.740 --> 00:08:31.860
Um, I just think that they're really well done.

113
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:40.500
You know that this whole story must have been inspired by that one line in the time warrior about finding our bold warrior a horse because that's like the takeaway image.

114
00:08:40.500 --> 00:08:47.639
From the episode, is the Santaran turning up on the horse and then he actually gets the line about I just wanted to ride a horse.

115
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:53.940
It's so properly funny, like a properly funny line.

116
00:08:54.179 --> 00:08:57.179
Complete with a slight Scottish hat.

117
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:11.639
But you get you get like the commander Santarans, who are very warlike, but, you know, they can have that conversation with the doctor, and then you've got the soldier one, who's actually quite funny and Pat's a bit more, um, like stracks a bit.

118
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:15.120
But I just thought they were all really good.

119
00:09:15.179 --> 00:09:25.440
And I really, really liked Housefilled Dan Starkey, Sonter, and called the doctor, Doctor, which is... all good villains do.

120
00:09:25.500 --> 00:09:30.240
I just wish he'd picked up on Mrs. Seacole's wording and called her doctress.

121
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:48.899
I was terrified that they were going to be boring because Chibnall took the, you know, took the sidemen and made them boring and and I just thought it was going to be, oh, you know, they'll be a warrior race and they'll be just super tedious.

122
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.659
But last week they were funny.

123
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.120
And then this week they were properly funny.

124
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:59.399
And, you know, they were created by Bob Holmes and they've always been a bit crummy.

125
00:09:59.460 --> 00:10:05.340
And, you know, it was Bob Holmes making fun of colonialism and pomposity and stuff like that.

126
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.100
And so this was great.

127
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:10.740
I thought that they were really really good.

128
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:21.059
And that central conceit where the Dr. lands in a place where the Crimean War is being fought against Sontarans, and no one's ever heard of the Russians.

129
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:23.279
That's incredibly good.

130
00:10:23.340 --> 00:10:24.899
That's so good.

131
00:10:25.139 --> 00:10:29.519
Yeah, it's what sort of casually interesting ideas, though, just littered around.

132
00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:30.539
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

133
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:32.519
I mean, it's like a new adventures idea.

134
00:10:32.580 --> 00:10:34.620
It's not like a classic series idea at all.

135
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:38.039
It is a very ambitious idea.

136
00:10:38.100 --> 00:10:41.519
I also think, you know, you mentioned that Tartis has no doors before.

137
00:10:41.580 --> 00:10:47.159
I just sort of think that's so so simple and so clever. frightening.

138
00:10:47.220 --> 00:10:54.240
I thought that was one of the really arresting images from last week's episode where they went in the doors. and they were coming out of the floor.

139
00:10:54.299 --> 00:10:59.100
It was just, and there wasn't really dwelt upon, but it was just, you know, an interesting moment in the episode.

140
00:10:59.580 --> 00:11:01.500
Simon, what did you think?

141
00:11:02.220 --> 00:11:04.200
About the Santara.

142
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.320
Well, I liked them.

143
00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:13.139
I thought, I thought they had enough seriousness is, they weren't just silly and stupid.

144
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:19.919
Like, I think there needs to be both 2 sides of the coin and I think, um, They did that here.

145
00:11:19.980 --> 00:11:33.179
I particularly like the brutality that you see, the fact that they execute 3 people in Liverpool, um, for trespassing and then, you know, they're they're shooting the wounded in Crimea, um, you know, nishing them off.

146
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:35.519
I mean, it's quite dark and quite brutal.

147
00:11:35.820 --> 00:11:42.419
And I've sort of, that was quite refreshing, I thought, for more Doctor Who. kind of body count.

148
00:11:42.539 --> 00:11:51.179
Yeah, although mind you, the killing the people on Liverpool docks is kind of a riff from Riff on the Stolen Earth, isn't it?

149
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:54.240
Yeah, it's also just a Saturday night in Liverpool.

150
00:11:55.379 --> 00:12:01.080
Oh, dear, we're going to get in terrible trouble with people from the north again this week.

151
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:04.440
Speaking of which, Todd, what did you?

152
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:08.519
You've already said something about the Santarans, but was there something else you wanted to add?

153
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.200
Well, they weren't very good shots when they were coming after Dan, weren't they?

154
00:12:13.259 --> 00:12:25.500
And it was very convenient that his little dog friend saved him, but the 3 people on the docks, their dog friends are still up in the spaceships and couldn't care less.

155
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:26.639
Is that right?

156
00:12:26.700 --> 00:12:27.240
don't know.

157
00:12:28.620 --> 00:12:31.440
I would have minor things, really.

158
00:12:31.500 --> 00:12:39.000
Yeah, I would have thought that race good at military strategy would consider kind of going to sleep in shifts.

159
00:12:39.059 --> 00:12:42.960
In ships, yeah, not on the same 7.5 minute life.

160
00:12:45.899 --> 00:12:46.559
But, you know.

161
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:47.639
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

162
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:53.519
There's no Doctor Who that isn't vulnerable to this kind of comedy, I think.

163
00:12:56.580 --> 00:12:58.679
And all right.

164
00:12:58.740 --> 00:13:09.779
So, look, um, we're nearly kind of nearing the end, I do, however, want to talk about how we feel sort of generally about where this is going.

165
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:14.340
I think I've said my piece here, but Todd, how are you feeling?

166
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:15.360
Are you optimistic?

167
00:13:16.500 --> 00:13:19.559
If it continues like this, I will be.

168
00:13:19.620 --> 00:13:24.960
I was very concerned last week, you know, as to how this is, how this is going to play out.

169
00:13:25.019 --> 00:13:35.159
I mean, I'm still a bit confused. like you know, Dan went back to his time zone, but for some reason, Yaz had to go to the Planet of Time, why did she go there of all places?

170
00:13:35.220 --> 00:13:37.379
That seems very convenient?

171
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:49.500
And then we sort of had that whole, um, mystery with the Magara, the Magara like voices and what and what sort of looked like the board from the 5 doctors with, you know, the temple and all that sort of thing.

172
00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:52.320
So, I mean, I find it intriguing.

173
00:13:52.379 --> 00:13:55.500
Um, and it looks wonderful.

174
00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:58.139
And I just hope it can pay off in the end.

175
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.320
So, again, I mean, you know, I said at the beginning of this.

176
00:14:01.379 --> 00:14:06.960
I think it's, I think it's a really solid episode and one of his best efforts and certainly for writing for the doctor.

177
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.299
Um, can it be sustained?

178
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:17.580
I mean, ultimately, you know, we will find out and that will affect my final opinion, but if it continues like this, I'm going to be very pleased with this.

179
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:19.799
What do you think, Simon?

180
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.240
I hope it continues like this, but also have it varies.

181
00:14:24.299 --> 00:14:43.200
I mean, one of my problems with Broadchurch is that, um, I found it quite repetitive, like they'd introduce a, a new red herring each week as to, and you gradually worked around each member of the village as to who might have possibly been the murderer, and I hope we just don't get a sort of a rinse and repeat of this episode.

182
00:14:43.259 --> 00:14:48.480
What I hope is that stylistically, each episode varies a bit.

183
00:14:48.539 --> 00:14:51.840
I'd like to see a quieter, spookier one.

184
00:14:51.899 --> 00:14:58.919
Um, I worry that we'll just get this kind of loud, obnoxious action, over and over again.

185
00:14:58.980 --> 00:15:07.259
But look, I've been, my faith has been restored this week in a way that I worried last week. just was not going to be.

186
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:09.059
That spooky thing.

187
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.740
What about that house that Jody saw?

188
00:15:10.860 --> 00:15:11.460
Oh, yes.

189
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:12.899
Yes, what the hell's that about?

190
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:14.879
What was that?

191
00:15:14.940 --> 00:15:15.419
More of that.

192
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:19.019
Well, obviously we're going back there. that's going to be quite cool.

193
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:23.039
I think I get the sense like the Angels episode is probably going to be something like that.

194
00:15:23.100 --> 00:15:27.240
The Angel episode is going to be a bit spookier and and more mysterious.

195
00:15:27.299 --> 00:15:30.600
I just want them to turn the frigging volume down on the soundtrack on the music.

196
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:35.460
I don't know whether there was more than about 5 seconds where there was no music, but, you know.

197
00:15:35.580 --> 00:15:45.120
I did explain either on flights through entirety or on last week's episode that the soundtrack is loud in the mix because we're old.

198
00:15:46.019 --> 00:15:47.519
Peter.

199
00:15:47.580 --> 00:15:49.139
I don't know.

200
00:15:49.259 --> 00:15:51.659
It's all right, Simon.

201
00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:53.039
Peter.

202
00:15:53.700 --> 00:16:04.379
I feel like I've been a couple of steps ahead of the series for a few years and now I feel like the series is actually one step ahead of me again and I really like that.

203
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:10.080
I'm really not sure where it's going and it could go in any number of directions and I'm on board with finding out.

204
00:16:10.740 --> 00:16:12.179
Okay.

205
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:12.960
Fantastic.

206
00:16:13.019 --> 00:16:13.919
All right.

207
00:16:13.980 --> 00:16:16.139
And also, I suddenly noticed that Vinder is very hot.

208
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:17.820
Oh, extraordinary.

209
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:19.860
He does great waking up acting.

210
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.679
What about jam?

211
00:16:25.740 --> 00:16:30.299
Well, I mean, you know, I'm still a nice thing to say about Carpanista.

212
00:16:30.539 --> 00:16:42.779
I have to say that nothing will ever, ever topple Chrissy Jackson and her stiletto heal from her pedestal when it comes to dispatching Santarans.

213
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:44.639
But the wok does come a close second.

214
00:16:44.700 --> 00:16:47.100
And I love...

215
00:16:47.100 --> 00:16:49.980
But his parents as well.

216
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:51.659
Like they've both got frying pans.

217
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:52.500
It's adorable.

218
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:53.759
I just think it's so good.

219
00:16:53.820 --> 00:16:58.799
And I'm just saying, I really feel sorry for his mother because in real life, she's only 9 years older than him.

220
00:16:58.860 --> 00:17:07.140
I was going to say, I mean, he's 55 and I was, I bet those actors playing his parents are at roughly the same age as he is.

221
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:08.700
She was 63.

222
00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:12.240
He's a young looking 55.

223
00:17:12.420 --> 00:17:16.019
The guy who plays the leads on tar and is 64 as well.

224
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:19.920
I mean, you know, that's very, actually just, yeah.

225
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:24.119
I was just fixed by the constantly saying fist.

226
00:17:24.180 --> 00:17:28.680
I just couldn't quite make that sound in my in my in my mouth. pissed.

227
00:17:28.740 --> 00:17:33.599
It's so great It's, it's, it's indescribable.

228
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:36.539
Oh, we're doing this every week, aren't we?

229
00:17:36.660 --> 00:17:36.960
All right.

230
00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:38.339
Okay.

231
00:17:40.740 --> 00:17:48.240
Do we have any, does anyone have any kind of closing remarks, I guess?

232
00:17:51.299 --> 00:17:53.759
Oh, this looks beautiful.

233
00:17:53.819 --> 00:17:54.599
Yeah.

234
00:17:54.660 --> 00:17:55.680
Sorry, Todd.

235
00:17:55.740 --> 00:17:57.180
No, no, I agree.

236
00:17:58.200 --> 00:17:59.400
It looks beautiful.

237
00:17:59.460 --> 00:18:08.460
I think the Mise en Seine is um not as Spartan underpopulated as some of the Chipmolera episodes have been like, I can think if it takes you away off the top of my head.

238
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:18.299
It really looked kind of, um, full and well produced and, you know, often people say cinematic and I don't buy it, but I think it did.

239
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:19.380
Todd?

240
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:24.480
Yes, and it had intrigue, it had humour.

241
00:18:24.539 --> 00:18:34.500
It had gravitas, um, And the doctor was well written and that really helped Jody's performance.

242
00:18:34.740 --> 00:18:36.299
Brilliant.

243
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:43.619
I just think it's something that I recognised as Doctor Who in a way that I haven't recognised for a little while.

244
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:45.480
Agreed.

245
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:46.200
Press my buttons.

246
00:18:46.259 --> 00:18:52.140
All right, well, uh, I have some things to plug then in that case.

247
00:18:52.140 --> 00:19:04.140
So, uh, we are currently on flight through entirety in the middle of um, uh, series 6 of, um, Doctor Who.

248
00:19:04.140 --> 00:19:09.779
And uh, so we'll be doing Night Terrace next Sunday, which I'm kind of excited to rehear.

249
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:20.099
Brendan has mere moments ago posted his walk to work with Whittaker and he's wearing a singlet, so you'll all want to tune in and see that.

250
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:21.180
He's not walking to work.

251
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:22.980
He's walking home from the gym.

252
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:23.880
No, to the gym.

253
00:19:23.940 --> 00:19:27.420
And you'll hear about that on the video as well.

254
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:32.940
It's terribly good, and you get to wonder whether he makes it across the road every time he crosses the road.

255
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:33.779
So there's that.

256
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:35.759
Frogger, isn't it?

257
00:19:35.819 --> 00:19:37.500
It's so terrifying.

258
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:39.480
It's super anxiety provoking.

259
00:19:39.539 --> 00:19:47.819
We are also on maximum power, which is about midway through series one of Blake 7.

260
00:19:48.420 --> 00:19:50.819
Okay, no one's correcting me.

261
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:51.119
Fine.

262
00:19:51.180 --> 00:19:55.259
And in a future. was last Sunday, yeah.

263
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:56.339
No, okay.

264
00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:09.299
I refuse to call it series A. And Untitled Star Trek Project will be back this Friday with a Deep Space 9 episode, which is House of Quark.

265
00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:10.859
So you can...

266
00:20:10.980 --> 00:20:11.880
Yeah, yeah.

267
00:20:11.940 --> 00:20:13.619
It's I really liked it.

268
00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:17.940
So that's me and friend of the podcast, Joe Ford.

269
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:33.359
So, if there's nothing more to say, until next time, remember that rice pudding and hard liquor build morale. particularly unlimited rice pudding and unlimited hard liquor.

270
00:20:33.420 --> 00:20:35.579
Thank you very much for listening and good night.

271
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:37.680
See you soon.

272
00:20:37.740 --> 00:20:41.400
Good night, doctor. for now.
