N102 The Name of the Doctor

The Great Intelligence employs those chaps from Buffy and a Back-To-The-Future letter to lure The Doctor to Trenzalore * * * We begin upon Gallifrey, a very long time ago, where some kind of idiot is trying to steal a faulty TARDIS from the Time Lords’ repair shop. Meanwhile, Clara’s all broken up about something and falling down on the job. Elsewhere, Madame Vastra is combing London’s prisons for tiny grains of meaning hidden within vast deserts of rhyming twaddle, while Strax is happily battering his way through the huge open-air fight club that is Victorian Glasgow. Turns out the Doctor’s grave has been found, turns out Jenny’s left the door open, and turns out the Great Intelligence and his new heatproof Whisper Men regiment are heading for Trenzalore in search of the Doctor’s greatest secret. Can Doc, Clara, the Paternosters, and a spectral version of M. River Shyalama-ding-Song save the day, and all the Doctor’s days, or is the dangling Seventh Doctor doomed finally to lose his grip on his umbrella? * * * Check out WHOBACKWHEN.COM for more information, Doctor Who TV Serial and Audiobook reviews, ratings and ramblings, and loads more podcast episodes.
