And what if that theoretical creature turned out to be the origin of the fear we feel when we're alone? Meanwhile, Clara goes on a first date with her co-worker Danny Pink, which ends poorly and abruptly, but as she joins the Doctor to investigate his theory through the past and future, Clara learns that her future with Danny may already be written.

Customer Reviews
Love the long way around
I'm loving the "Long way around" series you guys are doing. The recaps are excellent, inciteful and ever so slightly irreverent (which is a good thing). I'd love to see this recap style format used for season 10 next year.
Can;t wait until you get to the core of the Pertwee/Tom Baker years. Listening to Nick's discovery of these golden stories will be a treat. I'm eagerly awaiting the point where you get to The Pyramids of Mars one of my all-time favoutrites.
Love listening to you three.
