A queer woman's perspective on Doctor Who, both the classic and new series, as well as its various spin-offs and ephemera.

Jul 18, 2016

I've long heard tales from other podcasters of 'cursed' episodes that have either been lost to time or were just vast struggles to get out. So, I guess it was inevitable that I'd have one of those misfortunes myself. Yes, this episode had tons of stumbling blocks, almost too many to name, but its finally here (albeit about 2 months late!). I do hope that it is worth the wait!

Anyway, join me on this episode as I finally discuss the last three episodes of S9 -- 'Face the Raven', 'Heaven Sent', and 'Hell Bent' -- finally polishing off my thoughts on last year's Doctor Who stories. I do hope you all will join me and, as always, glad to have you all aboard. Enjoy the ride!
