Dalek depth, police parallels, Yaz yearning, troublesome timeliness, beanies, Barrowman, yes, there’s an awful lot to discuss in this podcast about Revolution of the Daleks, the 2021 Doctor Who New Year’s Day special.
Infinite potential, the nature of change and mystery, the finale’s paratext and positioning, the many stances on the series, chosen one narratives, lore, Morbius, the Other, and so, so much more is discussed within!
Humany-wumany lore, the merits of ‘filler’, amalgamated mysteries, self-cannibalistion, hypernormalisation, Occam’s razor, the value of change…much to think about.
Cold opens, great works, casual reality, trading lives, fake moral dilemmas, companion chaos, and the doldrums of drafting…this ghostly episode provides all sorts of wisps to discuss.
Character/plot delineation duality, Yaz interiority, 13 psychokinesis, competing interpretations, Sheffield blues…just a few topics covered in our ‘chat chat chat chat chat’!
Attention economics, the spinoff revivals, inverting the 80s, the serenity of completion, audience infalisation, the ethics of take-generation…just a few of the things we discuss!

Vore, spycraft, Utopia & Time Flight comparisons, descriptive audio, value depreciation, these are just a few of the things the premiere of Doctor Who: Series 12 – Spyfall: Part One – makes one think about.
