N119 The Witch’s Familiar

Doctor Dodgems, a Davros Zinger and Reverse-Shawshanking through Dalek Scatacombs * * * The parlours and salons of Skaro are abuzz with talk of the handsome new visitor, The Doctor, and his private audience with Davros in the infirmary. His companions have run into significant difficulties, and he himself appears to be hampered by a lack of transport options. Doc and Davros dispense with the usual genocidal pleasantries and get down to the grisly business of relating with one another. First Doc takes tea, then he starts cosying up to the doddering despot, laughing at his jokes and siphoning off his own life essence to offer him a final glimpse of sunrise. Elsewhere on Skaro, Missy takes Clara for a reverse-Shawshank into the Dalek city by way of the Dalek scatacombs before encasing her in a pepperpot shell and attempting to coerce the Doctor into blasting her to kingdom come. * * * Check out WHOBACKWHEN.COM for more information, Doctor Who TV Serial and Audiobook reviews, ratings and ramblings, and loads more podcast episodes.
