Say When - Doctor Who Podcast

The Say When crew return to discuss the two-parter 'Spyfall'.  Having lain dormant and endured much, including an election and a regeneration, we return to look askance at the latest entertainment product named 'Dr Who' to be spewed out onto the amusement channels. 

Say When is born, as Say When 1! Derawan & Edmund discuss Dr Who in 'The Witchfinders' - Pendle, apple bobbing, psychic paper, the many threads of plot, & 13th’s ‘new age’ moralising are all touched upon, before our hosts risk it all on a first-time wild guess at how to say ‘furore’...

In Say When 2, Edmund and Derawan discuss Doctor Who 'It takes you away' - and touch on loss, Kevin Eldon saying 'tubular', severance, and ofc a lonely universe which takes the form of a frog.

Say When 3 powers up as Derawan and Edmund + very special guest K discuss the series 11 finale - the Ux; revenge dramas; neural stabilisers; and begin to realise that perhaps some kind of force stops neoliberal sci-fi from comprehending the universe.... 

We discuss 'Resolution' - taking in domestication; the cultural status of DNA; Schrodinger's Dalek; queer timeliness; joy riding; abolition of the family; daleks & the postwar boom; the idea of not doing enough;-among other topics. Plus a Say When 4 new year's message. 

The tardy Say When 7 crew get stuck in a toxic mist, but when it clears, the sunlight is 'even worse'. Hyper-referencing and neo-liberal plot twists abound as another episode is scornfully but lovingly consumed.

Say When go back in Doctor Who chronology to discuss The Pilot from season 10 - and in so doing discuss the autumn of twelve; failures of renewal; the absence of queer love; and the good old mundane chip life.
