| 146: Uncle Winky Was Right | 21 Nov 2023 | 01:59:21 | |
"I was the fan, and I enjoyed being serviced" After a decade, Ben and Mark bring On the Time Lash's NuWho Watchthrough to an end with a discussion of The Power of Doctor, paired up with Big Finish's wildly experimental 40th anniversary audio adventure - Zagreus. And since it's the end, Ben and Mark discuss the big issues: How to lend gravitas to the name Uncle Winky, why The Power of the Doctor is a pitch-perfect satire of modern fandom, a celebration of Sacha Dhawan's Master, the meaning of an empty chair, why Paul McGann doesn't wear robes, the impossibility of explaining the plot of Zagreus, and a lament for when Big Finish took big swings. And what is the imbecile/Icini conundrum? With thanks to Roger Langridge Follow us on Twitter | |||
