N122 The Girl Who Died

The Twelfth Doctor, Clara and a Viking girl he reverse-remembers meeting at a later date set up Home Alone traps for a Monty Python God * * * Fresh from buying a planet one extra day of terror, Doc crushes a Love Sprite that had a crush on Clara, then makes an emergency landing on the nearest patch of grass to wipe it from his boot. But there are silent warriors lurking in this particular forest of the night - Vikings! The Valhalla-pining Valkyrie-fanciers bind them in chains and march them to their village. But halfway through Twelve’s tried-and-tested hypnosis by yo-yo, the great god Odin appears in the clouds and promises the butch half of the populace a VIP pass to paradise. Capaldi Voord-hides his way out of immediate peril, but pocket tinderbox Ashildr Chucklesdottir manages to piss off the manjuice-chugging general of the Mire, giving the exasperated Doctor 24 hours to train his raw rejects into a badass brigade of bearded bug-beaters. * * * Check out WHOBACKWHEN.COM for more information, Doctor Who TV Serial and Audiobook reviews, ratings and ramblings, and loads more podcast episodes.
