#237 - A Song for the Mari Lwyd

We discuss Wild Blue Yonder, the middle story of the 60th anniversary specials of Doctor Who and share our thoughts on Russell T Davies latest adventure for the Doctor and Donna Noble. Ben relays Paul Scoones' suggestion that the ship's captain may have been a nod to the Equinans, from "The Wreckers!", a 1975 Who story in The TV Comic. David notes that with the inclusion of Flux and other pieces of the Chibnall canon, RTD is removing the Bobby Ewing retcon, as Ben puts it, that the last 13 years were all a dream. This podcast concludes with a lively discussion of The U.S. Air Force Song, which was featured not only in this story's title, but also referenced musically. Opening music is "Silver Caravan" composed by Tim Clark and closing music is "The U.S. Air Force Song" also known as "Off We Go". We recorded this episode on 5 December 2023.
