The tenth epzode of Who Cares covered Doctor Who’s eleventh series finale; THE BATTLE OF RANSKOOR AV KOLOS.
How could such a finale be dealt with? The regular format would not do. The regular voices would not do. To catch a thief you must think like a thief. But how could it be emulated? What other episode would it have to be filtered through? Listen hopefully. Who Cares will surprise you. Constantly.
