No, it's going to be my favorite Who monster, The Kandy Man.

I wonder whether we'll ever see Strax and the two ladies again? I guess they were more of an Eleven thing and it's going to depend on whether Moffat ever returns to write for the show, but I do hope we revisit them at one point.

Any chance we might hear those ratings at some point? I can't be the only one interested.

Man, that would have been great!

Ace was my first companion and so I'd be giddy as hell if she ever made a comeback. Sophie Aldred doesn't seem to be acting much nowadays (at least according to IMDb) but I'm sure she'd be happy to reprise her most famous role for an episode.

I agree with this. I much preferred Clara with Twelve. I also much preferred River Song (who I know isn't a companion) with Twelve.

i haven't listened to it yet but thank you for bringing back the podcast! I very much look forward to hearing your new host!

Weirdly, it's the same way with Americans and obesity. We went to Walt Disney World a few years back and most of the planet-sized people 'walking' around were pale skinned (and usually sporting baseball hats for some reason). Can't remember seeing anyone with darker skin who was massively overweight.

I'm not married so I may be way off the mark here, but the marriage in Catastrophe feels a lot more genuine to me than most others I see portrayed in the media. It probably helps that both of the writers and actors are married (though not to each other).

Well that sure escalated quickly!

Seems like a nice guy!

Let us play a game in which we visit an AV Club review and see the format it takes. Let's see - under the latest Harlots's review (for example!), to the right of the little photo, we see "Episode 4, Season 1". This indicates that the review below will be based on Episode 4 of Season 1. Let's try the same thing here to…

My complaint is based on the fact that this is called a "Season Review". It's not hard to understand.

I'm honestly not sure how you can watch two episodes and call it a season review. Isn't that a bit like me watching twenty minutes of a two hour movie and yet giving it a full review?

I hope you're right, Cassandra. I really do.

Thanks davidcgc. I'll be checking these out during my commutes this week.

In light of this sad news, can anyone recommend a decent Who podcast with people even a fraction as knowledgeable and entertaining as Caroline and Alasdair?

This was the first episode where Nardole actually worked for me. I think he's much better as a funny background character. I hope he stays around all season.

Agreed. I had loads of fun with this one.

Agreed Mr vian.
