The universes are collapsing: Reality Bomb has invaded 2MTL to explore just what happened when the BBC made its much-hyped-on-social-media announcement about the new Doctor Who spinoff, Class. Written by Graeme Burk; performed by Graeme Burk, Chip Sudderth, Bill Evenson and Kim Rogers; lovingly balanced and tweaked by Alex Kennard.

In Minisode 2: Badass In A Totally Nonviolent Way, the guys talk about The Witch’s Familiar by Steven Moffat. Discussion topics include (but are not limited to) the subtle art of chair humor, the traditionalization of Clara, existential horror and the inevitability of a happy ending in heaven.

What did you think of The Witch’s Familiar? Let us know in the comments below or start a conversation on our Facebook page.

We don't like to boast, but when we predict the outcome of a Moffat plot months in advance, we need to say, "Told you so!" If Moffat stays on as showrunner, we may need to change our motto from 20% right to 21.5% right (because he keeps doing the same thing over and over, you see). Listen to our subdued revelry in correctness and critical critique of "The Witch's Familiar." Not for the faint-hearted.

This week's WhoTube is a 12^th Doctor tribute called "Shut Up" from our friends Legs Nose Robinson: http://youtu.be/uSUQMOugbX0

Hey Who fans! Join us for episode 58 as we chat about the latest news then fly into our review of the series 9 opening conclusion The Witch’s Familiar.

The News

Big Chief Studios have posted a few preview pics of their upcoming 9th Doctor release. Similar to their previous collectables featuring the 4th, 10th and 11th Doctors, the Chris Eccleston figure looks great and comes with a raft of accessories. Stay tuned to their Twitter account for more.

If you’ve been thinking about going to the Doctor Who Experience but haven’t been yet, Saturday 10th October could be a good time to go. 6th Doctor Colin Baker will be there visiting the experience plus holding a Q&A session. They rarely do these so go do it.

The BBC are putting out a new Christmas Specials boxset on both Blu Ray and DVD which are available to pre-order now. It contains all 10 episodes from The Christmas Invasion through to Last Christmas plus some specially design Christmas cards. If you’re into the Who Christmas Specials and don’t own them, this could be for you.

“The Witch’s Familiar” Review

We scored The Magician’s Apprentice very high so how does this second part compare? More Daleks, more Clara and Missy and more of The Doctor being, well, The Doctor. It’s about to get very emotional.

This week’s trivia question

Last episode we asked you – On what date was Victorian Clara born? The answer is – 23rd November 1866.

This week’s question is – What is the first story to mention that the Doctor has two hearts? Give us your answer in the comments below or post it on Twitter or Facebook. Good luck!

Thank you for listening you lot and thanks for sending your thoughts via text, audio and video clips. If you fancy leaving us a review in iTunes that would be fantastic! Until next week – Allons-y!

That witch is familiar, isn't she? Tom and Louis talk about the conclusion of the Doctor's adventure on Skaro, and topics of discussion include how to write a good title, Kaledizing Davros, and Dalek strategy.

On this week's episode, Brandon and Danica tackle the second part of the Series 9 opening - The Witch's Familiar. There are Daleks! And fighting! And metaphors that we totally understood, maybe. Also slurring. But there's always slurring. Being drunk will do that to you, it seems. That's a thing we've learned, you see.

Outro music is "I Need Never Get Old" by Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats

SHOWNOTES

(00:03:10) “The Blind Beggar” is a pub on Whitechapel Road, Whitechapel in London. The pub is known for Ronnie Kray’s murder of George Cornell. The Kray Twins were, as any Cockney will reassure you, famous for loving their mother, if not Jack “the Hat” Mcvitie.

(00:09:20) Chris Morris is an English comedian, writer, director, actor, voice actor, and producer. In the early 1990s, Morris teamed up with his radio producer, Armando Iannucci, to create On The Hour, a satire of news programmes. This was expanded into a television spin off, The Day Today, which launched the career of Steve Coogan, and has since been hailed as one of the most important satirical shows of the 1990s. Morris further developed the satirical news format with Brass Eye, which lampooned celebrities whilst focusing on themes such as crime and drugs. For many, the apotheosis of Morris’s career was a Brass Eye special, which dealt with the moral panic surrounding paedophilia. It quickly became one of the most complained about programmes in British television history, leading the Daily Mail to describe him as “the most loathed man on TV”.

(00:12:40) Philip Morris on finding then losing “Web of Fear” episode 3.

(00:53:08) “Bugs” is a British television drama series which ran for four series from April 1995 to August 1999

(01:05:30) The Doctor and Clara crossing the Abbey Road zebra crossing …ooops sorry that was someone else doing what a million people have done before – here’s the actual photo.

(01:28:40) “Rainbow“ is a British children’s television series which ran from 1972 to 1992. The first Rainbow presenter and the War Bungle. The show’s first presenter was David Cook. It starred voice of the Daleks Roy Skelton as characters George and Zippy. The first actor to play the role of Bungle Bear was voice of K9 John Leeson. This incarnation of Bungle was so scary that generations of children have tried to wipe it from their memories which is why it has become known as The War Bungle.

(01:31:30) Behind the scenes videos on the creation of Series 9 of Doctor Who.

(02:21:02) Katy Manning appears on Phonic FM.
