E80: Boom
Sharp scratch 😀
This week, things heat up as we watch Steven Moffat's 'Boom'! Buckle in for tension, sulky holograms, dead companion, fl*shlights, religious discourse and an antelope.
We ask: which lines were most Clara Oswald-coded, and which writer understands the Doctor the best?

E79: The Devil's Chord
You called?
It's a double feature as Wholala discuss the first two episodes of the brand new series of Doctor Who!
We've been watching 'The Devil's Chord' (several times) to discuss camp performances, throwback references and *that* dance number.
And in our first ever Theory Corner, we ask: is a certain family member coming back, and who is Ruby Sunday really?

E77: The Impossible Planet & The Satan Pit
Welcome to Hell
Religious trauma! Satan! Mortgages! This week on Wholala, we go back to the scariest story of them all. While 10-year-old Alasdair was praying the villain away, 8-year-old Sam had Mum censoring Toby's face with masking tape in his Doctor Who Adventures magazine. Almost twenty years later, are we any less scared?
