Had so much fun recording this one! The book was an unexpected treasure that wasn't on my radar at all but turned out to be a great slice of Doctor Who, that genuinely taught me something about an interesting bit of history.

As a mathematician and a Doctor Who fan, I adore Christopher H. Bidmead’s work on Doctor Who, which showed how maths and science can be powerful, mysterious and poetic. Castrovalva remains a personal favourite. I wish I had the chance to meet him. RIP

#ncutigatwa season 2! the #rtd2 era! the conversation that bryn, simon, mark, and i had was almost too broad and too deep for a #doctorwho podcast! i was floored by the sincerity, passion, and depth these folks brought to the popular @trapone.bsky.social podcast! all of you at home will love it!

I recorded with @trapone.bsky.social last night and had a riotous time with @quarkmcmalus.bsky.social et al! It won’t drop for a bit but expect plenty of chat about Dugga Doo, Greek Choruses, and representation! #DoctorWho

Queen was pretty convinced earlier that there was a James Bond film called Golden Sceptre (and yes, she said sceptre not spectre).

Something cool about having an action figure wearing a jumper you own.

I would probably say the RTD2 episodes that beat it for me are Church on Ruby Road, 73 Yards, and Rogue. Maybe Dot and Bubble too.

The Star Beast is still my favourite 60th special, and one of my favourite RTD 2 stories full stop. I am aware there are many contrary opinions to this 😅

FWIW I have seen every Doctor Who story and still had no idea of this. Death to the Daleks I have only seen once about four years ago.

Was trying to search for the "living, bubbling lump of hate" Dalek description earlier. Was so sure it was Remembrance of the Daleks. Then when it wasn't I checked Dalek. Turns out it's from Death to the Daleks! That line is way better than that story deserves.

It was a pleasure to record my first Trap One appearance of the year, discussing Gary Russell's novelisation of the sixtieth anniversary special The Star Beast.

The child playing baby Rose in Father's Day was probably born the same year as Millie Gibson. #DoctorWho

Meme template of the Fourteenth Doctor (David Tennant) talking to the Toymaker (Neil Patrick Harris). The conversation goes: 
Toymaker: "You're out of tissues"
Fourteen: "We still have kitchen roll and toilet paper"
Toymaker: "WELL THAT'S ALRIGHT THEN!"

If Ncuti Gatwa does three series he will probably be in the 900th episode of Doctor Who.

Bonnie Langford and Ncuti Gatwa were by far the highlights of that episode of Doctor Who, which bodes well given they are two of the people from it who are returning.
