The Randomiser: Unpredictable Doctor Who Chat
By Tim Reid & Charles Auchterlonie
The Randomiser: Unpredictable Doctor Who ChatNov 10, 2021
Episode 40: Wilderness Baby
A bigenerated extra episode recorded the day after The Giggle aired!
We’re joined by Stefan Adegbola - Bola - actor, child of the wilderness years and newfound friend from Tim’s recent show “Quiz”. We begin climbing the mountain of things to discuss: meandering around the foothills a bit, getting a cable car to the top of the Giggle, and skiing down precarious slopes of old Doctor Who.
The first conversation of many, we hope, and likewise we hope for fewer mountain metaphors in future. Why use them? Because they’re there.
Spoilers warnings for
- all episodes of Doctor Who up to and including The Giggle
- Torchwood, Children of Earth
