N127 Face The Raven

Doc heads to Diagon Alley to investigate a pain-in-the-neck countdown and loses yet another companion in the process * * * Clara has been amazing, saved the Doctor from having to marry a giant plant thing, and made a mysterious decision, basically perfected the whole companion role, she’s royally bossing it, when she gets a call from a concerned Rigsy, who’s been lumbered with an unwanted countdown tattoo. Our old young friend Local Knowledge has moved to London and become a family man, but rather too trustingly obeyed an anonymous text summons at 6 am to a decidedly unremarkable part of a London street which he somehow found immediately, because how could he have failed to recognise it? At his feet falls a Janus, who looked human even outside the trap street without the Lurkworms shedding their perception filtering light. Only the Janus’s Zaphod Beeblebrox daughter disguised as a son to stop the whole street adoring her like her mother… fuck it, this makes zero sense. But I’m sure it’ll all work out fine. * * * Check out WHOBACKWHEN.COM for more information, Doctor Who TV Serial and Audiobook reviews, ratings and ramblings, and loads more podcast episodes.
