Mark is less convinced than me thanks to a writer that is trying very hard to impress, but we both agree that there are some big, weighty ideas in here.

We imagine another season of rebooted Doctor Who - as an excuse to talk about the themes of the stories we're nominally remaking - but it feels different this time.

Almost at 11,000 downloads. Thank you thank you. Over the next few weeks there are episodes about books featuring THAT wedding, the best Doctor Who novel ever (discuss), and the return of Melanie Bush. Oh, and the High Council enter a distinctly dark dimension.

I cheered at Item #3, which gives a well-deserved kicking to something rather topical but also feels like it's been a long time coming. Bravo!
