1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.960
Hello, dear listener, and welcome back to Jody and Terra, the only

2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:07.799
Doctor Who flash cast that really misses the lovely way that those

3
00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:10.259
boys from global chemicals used to behave.

4
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:17.879
We're all here after having watched this week's episode, which, of

5
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:23.100
course, was the long anticipated arachnids in the UK.

6
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:27.239
And I'm going to throw it to Todd, if that's all right, and see

7
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:28.079
what you thought of it.

8
00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:28.620
Todd.

9
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.019
Thanks, Nathan.

10
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:31.980
Hi everyone.

11
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:32.640
Hi listeners.

12
00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:34.979
Look, I enjoyed this.

13
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:36.899
I mean, I'd give it 7 out of 10.

14
00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:41.759
Like, I thought it had heart, you know, I think all of Teen TARDIS

15
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:47.100
had their moments of of lovely, you know, character growth.

16
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.759
Even the doctor, you know, warning her whole team about coming

17
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:51.179
with her.

18
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.060
I mean, I think that's the 1st time I've had like real character

19
00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:56.700
growth for the doctor in, in, you know, forever.

20
00:00:56.700 --> 00:01:00.000
And Bradley Walsh hitted out at the ballpark again and I thought

21
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.119
that his relationship with Ryan was beautiful.

22
00:01:03.179 --> 00:01:05.879
Yaz had some lovely moments at the beginning and end.

23
00:01:05.939 --> 00:01:09.180
She did get a bit lost, I thought, because of the with the mother

24
00:01:09.180 --> 00:01:11.879
and the other spider woman and Mr. Big.

25
00:01:11.939 --> 00:01:13.200
I thought she got a bit lost in the mix.

26
00:01:13.260 --> 00:01:16.319
Yet again, I think there was some great humour in it.

27
00:01:16.379 --> 00:01:19.140
Like I was laughing about the mother's attempt to pair her off

28
00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:22.680
with whoever and the doctor's joke about Ed Sheeran just, oh, I

29
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:23.519
was cracking up about that.

30
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:28.439
And, you know, it had scary moments and the music was fantastic.

31
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:32.579
And, um, I wasn't quite, you know, there was a few little things

32
00:01:32.579 --> 00:01:34.680
where I thought, oh, you know, trapping all the spiders in that

33
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:36.900
panic room at the end and well, they're all dead, aren't they?

34
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.140
It was very humane, Todd.

35
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.420
Well, yeah, yes, it was very humane.

36
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.760
And I guess the other thing I really loved was the fact that when

37
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.879
the TARDIS travelled through the inside of a gel guard, you know?

38
00:01:50.219 --> 00:01:52.799
Which I thought was utterly beautiful.

39
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:54.900
And, and, yeah, so I enjoyed it.

40
00:01:54.900 --> 00:02:00.000
And, you know, I got my, I got my, you know, my, my, my, my shocks

41
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.180
and and uh, and the humour and everything and yeah, and I had a

42
00:02:03.180 --> 00:02:05.819
bit of political stuff and there was a family and, you know, good.

43
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:06.599
There you go.

44
00:02:06.659 --> 00:02:08.099
Brilliant. brilliant.

45
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.379
Richard, you're a big fan of the Green Death.

46
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:10.919
What did you think?

47
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:16.919
Well, I'm an even bigger fan of the work of, as you've honestly, as

48
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.520
we've often said, that descendant of German filmmaking Stanley

49
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:21.120
Kubrick.

50
00:02:21.180 --> 00:02:26.280
Um, and I'm thinking back to Stephen King's novel that became a

51
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.460
really quite extraordinary 1980 film called The Shining.

52
00:02:29.460 --> 00:02:34.439
Um, and right from the tracking shots over the carpet.

53
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.080
I know this establishing shot.

54
00:02:37.139 --> 00:02:37.979
I know this film.

55
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.199
You're doing Kubrick.

56
00:02:40.259 --> 00:02:42.120
So it was a lovely melange.

57
00:02:42.180 --> 00:02:44.699
Everyone's been saying yes, yes, there's maggots and the thing, but

58
00:02:44.699 --> 00:02:48.659
I think that's kind of, that's the obvious castback, which is a

59
00:02:48.659 --> 00:02:50.580
lovely thing that Chipmull seems to be throwing a lot.

60
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.780
But I also like that he does Molly Grubblers or Molly Grubbers, I

61
00:02:54.780 --> 00:02:55.379
should say as well.

62
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.379
And he's he's bowling under arm a lot and he's throwing lots of

63
00:02:58.379 --> 00:03:01.500
things to us that I really like a lot.

64
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:05.819
Um, I remember that the little boy who was psychic in that film's

65
00:03:05.819 --> 00:03:08.819
name was also called Jack and I'd like to think that Chris Knoth's

66
00:03:08.819 --> 00:03:11.219
character is just the little boy in the shining grown up.

67
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:14.580
Grown up and dark and horrible things.

68
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:15.960
I want to talk.

69
00:03:16.020 --> 00:03:17.819
I want to talk politics because I do that.

70
00:03:17.939 --> 00:03:23.759
We know Chrisnoff's personal position on American politics and

71
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.620
it's kind of obvious he's an actor.

72
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:26.699
He's lived in New York.

73
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:28.379
They all think the same way.

74
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:35.819
So, from what I've been hearing, he kind of begged for this role.

75
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:36.900
What would you like?

76
00:03:37.020 --> 00:03:38.819
Or he pitches, you know, you want to be on the show.

77
00:03:38.939 --> 00:03:40.439
He said, well, you know what would you want to do?

78
00:03:40.500 --> 00:03:43.439
And he said, well, we'd like to play you as a play you as the sort

79
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:44.460
of anti-Trump trump.

80
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.919
He went, oh, oh, I would, I would so love that.

81
00:03:46.979 --> 00:03:47.819
And there was no shoes.

82
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:49.979
No, no, we don't talk about shoes once.

83
00:03:50.099 --> 00:03:50.939
So that's fine.

84
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:52.500
Get me away from that horse faced woman.

85
00:03:53.460 --> 00:03:56.879
That's a reference to the Stormy Daniels line.

86
00:03:56.939 --> 00:03:59.879
That Trump spoke spoke of.

87
00:03:59.939 --> 00:04:03.780
I think the best thing in this is beautiful cinematography.

88
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.439
The realisation, this series, and the art direction is just

89
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:08.159
gorgeous.

90
00:04:08.219 --> 00:04:11.219
I don't think we've seen anything so good since episode one of the

91
00:04:11.219 --> 00:04:13.979
sensor rights, and no, I'm not...

92
00:04:13.979 --> 00:04:18.480
I'm only being half naughty there because I'm thinking back to the

93
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:22.800
sounds of the web planet and, you know, and our own Rosalind De

94
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.019
Winter, who is, you know, one of the patron saints of the

95
00:04:25.019 --> 00:04:25.379
podcast.

96
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.259
And just how bloody frightening was this?

97
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:29.220
How did you all feel?

98
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:30.959
Jumping around.

99
00:04:31.019 --> 00:04:32.819
Yeah, I thought it was scary.

100
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:36.660
I thought there was one particularly disgusting moment when, is it

101
00:04:36.660 --> 00:04:37.259
Stormzy?

102
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.620
I'm really old, so I don't know what that musician was called, but

103
00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:43.560
when his track was luring them all into the panic room, and there

104
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:48.540
was some particularly disgusting spider leg movement things at

105
00:04:48.540 --> 00:04:51.899
that moment, which I just thought were really super horrifying.

106
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:56.819
And I think that this is, you know, that for a generation of

107
00:04:56.819 --> 00:04:57.360
children.

108
00:04:57.420 --> 00:05:01.139
This could well be their green death because those spiders, like

109
00:05:01.139 --> 00:05:04.079
they weren't super convincing all the time, but they were great.

110
00:05:04.139 --> 00:05:06.120
I mean, and they were super scary.

111
00:05:07.259 --> 00:05:09.600
Oh, they were beautiful.

112
00:05:09.660 --> 00:05:13.740
And they were so fluffy. those 1st moments in the house.

113
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:19.439
Just so gorgeous and so many nods to um, to films of German

114
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:20.399
filmmakers.

115
00:05:20.459 --> 00:05:21.300
So just really lovely.

116
00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:24.660
Okay, excellent.

117
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:26.279
Brendan, you hate it.

118
00:05:26.339 --> 00:05:27.360
Is that right?

119
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:29.579
Hello?

120
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.040
Yeah, no, absolutely hated it. 0 out of 10.

121
00:05:32.220 --> 00:05:32.939
No, I loved it.

122
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.279
I thought it was absolutely brilliant.

123
00:05:35.339 --> 00:05:36.839
It's an 8 out of 10 from me.

124
00:05:36.899 --> 00:05:41.220
I very much appreciated that they weren't the spiders of Metabilus

125
00:05:41.220 --> 00:05:41.399
3.

126
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:43.439
Yeah, because...

127
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:44.759
I didn't...

128
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.100
I had a moustache would not have gone astray.

129
00:05:47.699 --> 00:05:50.040
Gareth on look alike.

130
00:05:50.339 --> 00:05:51.899
No, no, but...

131
00:05:51.899 --> 00:05:52.199
Yeah.

132
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:55.319
Actually, well, there was a moustache.

133
00:05:55.379 --> 00:05:58.199
Um, Yeah, yeah, his dad had a beard.

134
00:05:58.259 --> 00:05:59.220
Hakeem had a beard.

135
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.319
I loved her. we talk about the family?

136
00:06:01.379 --> 00:06:03.120
They are fantastic.

137
00:06:03.180 --> 00:06:05.579
So it's Hakeem, Sonya, and Nadia.

138
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.100
Yeah, the family.

139
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:09.360
Just delightful.

140
00:06:09.420 --> 00:06:11.819
And that sister, we've got a neiress.

141
00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:13.740
Yes, we do.

142
00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:14.819
Or an Annalise.

143
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:16.500
Exactly. thinking that as well.

144
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:21.000
So, well, the thing is, I think not only do we have a neris, but

145
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:24.480
continuing Todd's analogy from the last few weeks, if you don't

146
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:29.339
mind me stealing this, Todd, um, Nadja, I think, is a bit like, you

147
00:06:29.339 --> 00:06:33.839
know, this is absent mother, whereas Hakeem is a bit more like

148
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:34.620
tree masks.

149
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.740
You know, he's, he's capable and loving, but he's a bit dodtery.

150
00:06:37.740 --> 00:06:44.699
Um, and, um, you know, Sonya always sort of sniping at, um, at Yaz

151
00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:45.660
and bringing her down.

152
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:50.939
Well, she's Cassia quite clearly. glowing eyes by the end of the

153
00:06:50.939 --> 00:06:52.980
season, painted on naturally.

154
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:57.420
But yeah, I thought this was perfectly pitched.

155
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.839
Um, just the right level of scares and laughs.

156
00:07:00.899 --> 00:07:06.779
The scene where it seems like Ryan is about to say to Graham, my

157
00:07:06.779 --> 00:07:10.439
dad's not really family that you are, and of course they suddenly

158
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:12.899
realise we're in a room full of spiders, is brilliant.

159
00:07:13.019 --> 00:07:17.879
And my only, my only sort of real disappointment is, okay

160
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:19.319
arachnid's in the UK.

161
00:07:19.379 --> 00:07:21.720
I get it, it's another music reference.

162
00:07:21.779 --> 00:07:25.680
But maybe spiders of Sheffield might have been a better time.

163
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.899
I agree with you, Brandon.

164
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:32.220
Yeah, Spiders of Sheffield.

165
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.199
Isn't it a play on anarchy in the UK?

166
00:07:34.259 --> 00:07:35.639
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

167
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:37.560
It's not a very good one. reference.

168
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:42.180
I was thinking small northern town of the spiders, you know.

169
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:47.939
Sheffield's more of a medium-sized town of the spiders.

170
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:52.379
I was getting a bit of a Tish Jones vibe from Natcha, actually

171
00:07:52.379 --> 00:07:55.980
because she happens to be employed by this week's villain for, you

172
00:07:55.980 --> 00:07:57.060
know, no particular reason.

173
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:58.439
I kind of thought.

174
00:07:59.100 --> 00:08:01.439
I wonder if that's her mother.

175
00:08:01.500 --> 00:08:02.459
Yes it is.

176
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:03.779
Oh, that didn't occur to me.

177
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:05.459
I have to say that that did come as a surprise.

178
00:08:05.579 --> 00:08:07.379
I wonder if she worked, didn't it?

179
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:08.100
Yes, yes.

180
00:08:08.100 --> 00:08:13.139
I, well, I, based on the pre-publicity, I thought Jade, the

181
00:08:13.139 --> 00:08:17.519
scientist, was going to be Yaz's sister, but I quite, I quite like

182
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:21.660
that Yaz is the older sister and Sonya's sort of uh, like typical

183
00:08:21.660 --> 00:08:26.100
late teen young adult. character.

184
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.800
But Richard, I think, well, anyone might know this, but I think if

185
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:33.179
anyone does, it's going to be Richard.

186
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:34.679
Richard, did you recognise Nadia?

187
00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:36.360
Nadia, Nadia.

188
00:08:36.419 --> 00:08:37.559
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

189
00:08:37.620 --> 00:08:38.100
Yes, I did.

190
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:39.360
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

191
00:08:39.419 --> 00:08:40.799
And now bugger it.

192
00:08:40.860 --> 00:08:41.700
I can't think who she is.

193
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:42.720
Come, tell.

194
00:08:42.779 --> 00:08:43.980
Dinner ladies.

195
00:08:44.220 --> 00:08:47.820
Oh, right.

196
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:50.879
She is with Celia Imry, whom we own.

197
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:54.000
Golly, that's a while ago.

198
00:08:54.059 --> 00:08:56.639
Yeah, and...

199
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:57.600
She's looking great.

200
00:08:57.659 --> 00:08:59.159
That's why I didn't spot her.

201
00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:01.799
Gee, I didn't know that chip fat could be that good for you.

202
00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:03.360
Billy Piper is right.

203
00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:09.659
I'm certainly inviting her to Mumcon, which is my fantasy

204
00:09:09.659 --> 00:09:10.139
convention.

205
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.720
Amy's mother's not invited.

206
00:09:12.779 --> 00:09:14.460
She doesn't exist.

207
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:16.500
But yeah, this mother definitely is.

208
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.179
She was superb.

209
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:21.059
Look, for me, this was absolutely everything that I want out of

210
00:09:21.059 --> 00:09:21.779
Doctor Who.

211
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:26.759
And it was what I was hoping Chibnell would do after seeing all of

212
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.419
Broadchurch because I spent the last 3 weeks thinking Broadchurch

213
00:09:30.419 --> 00:09:33.600
was often really funny, despite being about murdering children

214
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:34.379
mostly.

215
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:37.200
It actually manages that's hilarious.

216
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.519
It actually manages to be funny all the time.

217
00:09:41.580 --> 00:09:44.940
And I was thinking maybe it's just Olivia and David that are

218
00:09:44.940 --> 00:09:45.539
making it funny.

219
00:09:45.659 --> 00:09:49.620
But there was super, super funny dialogue all the way through

220
00:09:49.620 --> 00:09:49.980
this.

221
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:55.620
There was heart, there was a family, you know, um, All of these

222
00:09:55.620 --> 00:09:58.080
people online who were sort of saying, oh, it all wrapped up too

223
00:09:58.080 --> 00:09:59.100
quickly.

224
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:00.600
I mean, we had a lot of exposition.

225
00:10:00.659 --> 00:10:04.440
I think we had as much exposition as we needed for this, and I was

226
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.080
glad that it finished early enough to give us proper time.

227
00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:10.320
That's what I hope from these 50 minute episodes, that we get

228
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.779
proper time to spend with the characters and do the character

229
00:10:12.779 --> 00:10:16.259
stuff, and we're not just running from place to place, and this

230
00:10:16.259 --> 00:10:17.460
absolutely delivered.

231
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:22.259
I feel very bad saying this because I think Rosa is a much more

232
00:10:22.259 --> 00:10:26.220
important episode, but this is my favourite episode of the series

233
00:10:26.220 --> 00:10:26.820
so far.

234
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:28.980
I just adored it.

235
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:30.659
I thought it was so fantastic.

236
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:35.340
I watched it twice last night and I was just laughing like a giant

237
00:10:35.340 --> 00:10:37.500
idiot both times.

238
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:39.120
It was so good.

239
00:10:39.179 --> 00:10:40.019
It was so good.

240
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:41.220
And the politics of it.

241
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.360
You know, you've got Donald Trump's entire business empire is

242
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:49.679
built on a festering pile of toxic garbage.

243
00:10:51.779 --> 00:10:53.460
That's right.

244
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:56.580
You know, and he's got all these Trump things he's obsessed with

245
00:10:56.580 --> 00:10:57.059
his phone.

246
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.299
You know, he's a germaphobe, so he's constantly wiping his hands.

247
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.000
You know, his hotel's in the middle of a golf course.

248
00:11:03.059 --> 00:11:04.559
James was saying before.

249
00:11:04.620 --> 00:11:05.940
And that fabulous bit.

250
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.639
You know how Trump was saying that he would have rushed into

251
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:12.600
Parkland and single-handedly fought off the gunman because of

252
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:13.799
course he's a giant idiot.

253
00:11:14.220 --> 00:11:19.860
He, he, you know, pushes poor Kevin into the bathroom and locks

254
00:11:19.860 --> 00:11:20.700
the door behind him.

255
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:22.500
Lock the door.

256
00:11:22.620 --> 00:11:23.820
Hello?

257
00:11:23.820 --> 00:11:25.559
Oh, boy.

258
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:28.559
Look, I was sitting there and you wanted to die.

259
00:11:28.620 --> 00:11:30.659
You like you want this character too.

260
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:31.860
Yeah, yeah. such an asshole.

261
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.580
And then, and then he doesn't, which is it's perfect.

262
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:36.360
It works with.

263
00:11:36.779 --> 00:11:39.299
Oh, I think I think you're missing a little bit more of this one

264
00:11:39.299 --> 00:11:39.720
don't you?

265
00:11:39.779 --> 00:11:42.299
Is the A Harriet Jones?

266
00:11:42.779 --> 00:11:45.000
I hope we'll be seeing more of it.

267
00:11:45.059 --> 00:11:47.639
But I mean, we all said that about Krasco last week.

268
00:11:47.700 --> 00:11:51.059
I actually think that, um, you know, people have been complaining

269
00:11:51.059 --> 00:11:54.779
that Jody doesn't manage to do a good killing a villain thing.

270
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.480
They've been she hasn't killed any villain.

271
00:11:57.539 --> 00:11:58.620
She's 0 for four.

272
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:02.340
And I just kind of think that's clearly not what she's going to be

273
00:12:02.340 --> 00:12:02.639
doing.

274
00:12:02.700 --> 00:12:07.740
And also, speaking of which... of the nature of the program.

275
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:08.639
Yeah, yeah.

276
00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:09.059
Yeah.

277
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:15.059
I'm a little bit uncomfortable with the with the extreme position

278
00:12:15.059 --> 00:12:19.919
that the show has taken because I have never met a woman, let

279
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:24.240
alone anyone in my York who wouldn't want to take a big swat to

280
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:27.179
that massive major spider.

281
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.820
Well, David Tennant flushed all those ones down the sink

282
00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:30.299
remember?

283
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:31.740
Yeah, this was special.

284
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.940
It's the only bit that didn't quite hold within its own reality

285
00:12:35.940 --> 00:12:36.600
for me.

286
00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:39.720
I think I think that she was sort of sending the other spiders to

287
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:45.000
the panic room to basically eat each other while...

288
00:12:45.059 --> 00:12:46.320
That went that went through my mind.

289
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:49.679
I did.

290
00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:53.100
I did think, though, that that was actually it actually managed to

291
00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:53.820
be a bit moving.

292
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:57.600
You know, that that spider was sort of struggling to breathe and

293
00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:58.740
the doctor was kind to it.

294
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:02.940
And that scene ends with her kneeling down by the spider as it

295
00:13:02.940 --> 00:13:03.539
dies.

296
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:06.480
And I thought that that was good and that was proper weirdly

297
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:07.679
doctor-ish, you know.

298
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:09.480
She's a Buddhist now.

299
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.220
She's proper Buddhist doctor.

300
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:12.480
That's it.

301
00:13:13.379 --> 00:13:17.399
Back to the, you know, like Todd's analogy that this is basically

302
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:19.559
the 5th doctor.

303
00:13:19.620 --> 00:13:21.000
It is.

304
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:25.679
Yeah, like the character... values life above all else.

305
00:13:25.740 --> 00:13:29.700
Yeah, I'm giving it a seven, the 7th doctor, because he's the one

306
00:13:29.700 --> 00:13:32.879
who very, very definitely says we're not going to kill.

307
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.980
And I like that.

308
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:36.659
I think that's...

309
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:37.379
Yeah, that's good.

310
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:43.620
But I do think, you know, this is very much our centuries green

311
00:13:43.620 --> 00:13:46.559
death, and I think they did a really, really terrific job of it.

312
00:13:46.620 --> 00:13:49.919
Yeah, it does wear its politics on its sleeve.

313
00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:51.539
Well, so does the Green Death, though.

314
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:52.620
So did Rosa.

315
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:59.159
I kind of like that with the, with the ethics of this series so

316
00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:04.259
far, when we've seen them, they are really, you know, like they're

317
00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:04.919
proud of them.

318
00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:07.320
They're saying, we are against...

319
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:10.139
Yeah, bigotry and racism.

320
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:12.120
We value life.

321
00:14:12.179 --> 00:14:18.480
We, you know, like we believe that these sort of, you know, like

322
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.899
these rampant capitalism that's destroying the planet is wrong.

323
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:23.100
Yeah.

324
00:14:23.100 --> 00:14:26.759
It's something I loved about Pertwee is the Pertwee sort of

325
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.379
Baronet stories as well.

326
00:14:28.500 --> 00:14:32.879
I have to say that, I think the biggest surprise for me in this

327
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:37.679
season is the heart, the heart of this team TARDIS, and it's a

328
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:43.080
real strength that Jim was playing to and the visuals are just

329
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.980
stunning and I think the music's wonderful and and now we're

330
00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:49.200
getting more humour as we get to know these characters and

331
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:51.240
hopefully we'll continue to build from here.

332
00:14:51.299 --> 00:14:52.379
Yeah.

333
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:55.139
Yeah, I think that's, I think that's good.

334
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:56.580
All right.

335
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:59.519
Is our, how is our time going?

336
00:14:59.700 --> 00:15:02.159
Oh, you've got it on silent.

337
00:15:02.220 --> 00:15:05.159
I paid for a sound effect last week, James, you're just not going

338
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:06.000
to any effort at all.

339
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.399
Oh, there we go.

340
00:15:11.460 --> 00:15:12.240
There we go.

341
00:15:12.299 --> 00:15:14.519
Look, ding, ding, ding, ding.

342
00:15:14.580 --> 00:15:17.820
Are there any, are there any sort of closing remarks?

343
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:18.600
I've got one.

344
00:15:18.659 --> 00:15:22.799
I think Yaz was outed by her mother as bisexual this week.

345
00:15:22.860 --> 00:15:24.659
I have actually...

346
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:29.460
Although, there's also a play on every Asian mother, just, I just

347
00:15:29.460 --> 00:15:30.059
want you to be married.

348
00:15:30.179 --> 00:15:31.200
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

349
00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:32.519
I don't...

350
00:15:32.580 --> 00:15:33.419
Oh, she's a doctor.

351
00:15:33.539 --> 00:15:34.980
I mean, the fact that she was a doctor.

352
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:36.360
I actually think that was a fluff.

353
00:15:36.419 --> 00:15:40.019
That's actually my only flaw apart from the spider thing of this

354
00:15:40.019 --> 00:15:40.440
episode.

355
00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:41.580
Thank you for bringing it up.

356
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.360
I think the actor herself. through that line.

357
00:15:45.419 --> 00:15:50.460
I don't believe that that was written to be such a throwaway in in

358
00:15:50.460 --> 00:15:51.480
a kind of judgy tone.

359
00:15:51.539 --> 00:15:52.440
I think it was meant to be.

360
00:15:52.500 --> 00:15:53.639
So are you 2 going out?

361
00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:55.559
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

362
00:15:55.620 --> 00:15:57.419
Yeah, I've reached doctor, you say.

363
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:03.299
A little a little more gita of blooming lovely than...

364
00:16:03.299 --> 00:16:03.840
Yeah, yeah.

365
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:06.179
And it would have been kind of beautiful if that had happened.

366
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:07.500
I'm bit sad about that.

367
00:16:07.620 --> 00:16:10.080
I think there was a Sarah Jane vibe to it.

368
00:16:10.139 --> 00:16:13.620
And anyone who complains that Doctor Who is too much like Sarah

369
00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:17.100
Jane adventures can go and watch something else, I think, yeah.

370
00:16:17.700 --> 00:16:21.659
Well, they've already had their fun ectony, haven't they?

371
00:16:21.779 --> 00:16:24.779
They can go and look at panic bro.

372
00:16:26.820 --> 00:16:33.179
Look, I did, I did think that the, um, the exposition in front of

373
00:16:33.179 --> 00:16:35.759
the toxic waste dump, like both Rod and I looked at each other

374
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:38.580
about 3 quarters of the way through that, were like, yes, okay, we

375
00:16:38.580 --> 00:16:40.139
get it. now.

376
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:43.799
Did you notice Ryan during the exposition in the lamp where

377
00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:45.419
there's this exposition scene?

378
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:45.960
Yes.

379
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.320
Do the rabbit, yes. projector.

380
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:51.840
So brilliant.

381
00:16:51.899 --> 00:16:52.919
So brilliant.

382
00:16:53.100 --> 00:16:54.899
Was it deliberate?

383
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:55.679
I think so.

384
00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:58.559
Oh, do you think maybe it was something a toasten thought of?

385
00:16:58.620 --> 00:17:00.779
It was just pretty cheeky.

386
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:01.320
Yeah.

387
00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:02.279
Yeah.

388
00:17:02.340 --> 00:17:05.579
And I think also we're starting to get a little a little thing in

389
00:17:05.579 --> 00:17:08.279
these episodes where there's something in each episode which Ryan

390
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:13.019
just starts enjoying himself and turns on that brilliant smile

391
00:17:13.019 --> 00:17:15.660
like when he's the one who comes up with the music idea and he's

392
00:17:15.660 --> 00:17:16.920
just sitting there rocking out to it.

393
00:17:16.980 --> 00:17:17.759
It was so great.

394
00:17:17.819 --> 00:17:19.500
That was so enjoyable.

395
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:20.279
Yeah.

396
00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:21.420
All right.

397
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:22.619
Well, I think we'll wind it up.

398
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.740
Todd, did you have anything more to add?

399
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:28.079
No, I think we've said it all.

400
00:17:28.140 --> 00:17:30.000
Okay, look, this is a quick one.

401
00:17:30.059 --> 00:17:31.079
I think we've done very well.

402
00:17:31.140 --> 00:17:32.339
All right.

403
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:33.779
So before we go, yes.

404
00:17:34.140 --> 00:17:34.859
Just before we go.

405
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.319
Can I spook something completely unrelated?

406
00:17:37.380 --> 00:17:38.160
Oh, yes.

407
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:44.519
Uh, next week on the ABC, next Tuesday night, uh, November the 6th

408
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:49.319
at 9.30 PM is a documentary I worked on called Nolan.

409
00:17:49.380 --> 00:17:52.319
Ooh, about the Nolan sisters.

410
00:17:52.380 --> 00:17:53.640
Yes, yes, right.

411
00:17:54.420 --> 00:17:58.740
Sydney, their long lost brother, who was a famous Australian

412
00:17:58.740 --> 00:17:59.400
artist.

413
00:17:59.460 --> 00:18:02.160
Now I didn't have anything creative to do on this.

414
00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:07.019
I was in an administrative support role, but it's a fantastic

415
00:18:07.019 --> 00:18:12.180
documentary, so that is next Tuesday night at 930 on ABC TV.

416
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:13.079
Excellent.

417
00:18:13.140 --> 00:18:13.740
That's brilliant.

418
00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:14.460
Thank you very much.

419
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:15.359
It is exciting.

420
00:18:15.420 --> 00:18:15.900
Yeah.

421
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:16.859
All right.

422
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.500
So well, we'll wind it up there.

423
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:23.220
Thanks, everyone, for joining us on the call tonight, and thank

424
00:18:23.220 --> 00:18:25.079

425
00:18:25.140 --> 00:18:29.160
Don't forget, our main podcast is rocketing towards the end of

426
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:33.720
series one of Doctor Who, um, and you'll find that at

429
00:18:41.099 --> 00:18:43.319
That's the wrong order, but it doesn't matter. staying with it.

430
00:18:43.380 --> 00:18:48.720
And on Bondfinger, we have finally reached the end of the Bond

431
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:53.519
franchise with the release this week of Spectre, our commentary on

432
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:54.000
Spectre.

433
00:18:54.059 --> 00:18:57.000
And so we would like to promise you with our hands and our hearts

434
00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:59.400
right now that there will never, ever be another episode.

435
00:18:59.460 --> 00:19:00.240
No, that's not true.

436
00:19:00.299 --> 00:19:03.720
We are going to continue the podcast and say stay tuned to

439
00:19:08.339 --> 00:19:13.079
So it really remains for me to say just one more thing.

00:19:13.140 --> 00:19:15.059
Thank you very much for listening a good night.

441
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:16.380

Bye.
