Episode 10: The Chibnall Era - Part 1 Lots of Planets Have a North

As we endure the long wait between the end of the Chibnall era and the advent of RTD2, we cast an eye backwards over the last 5 years. What went well? What went wrong? Has Branwell recovered from ‘The Witchfinders’ yet? Join us as we talk the good and bad of diverse representation, the vagaries of the Timeless Child plotline, and whatever was (or, more pertinently, wasn't) going on between the Doctor and Yaz, in what is, for some reason, our most X-rated episode to date.
The Positives: 5.06
The Key Problems: 18.49
The Thirteenth Doctor: 1.06.35
