On 'Spyfall'
The Say When crew return to discuss the two-parter 'Spyfall'. Having lain dormant and endured much, including an election and a regeneration, we return to look askance at the latest entertainment product named 'Dr Who' to be spewed out onto the amusement channels.
On 'The Witchfinders'
Say When is born, as Say When 1! Derawan & Edmund discuss Dr Who in 'The Witchfinders' - Pendle, apple bobbing, psychic paper, the many threads of plot, & 13th’s ‘new age’ moralising are all touched upon, before our hosts risk it all on a first-time wild guess at how to say ‘furore’...
On 'It takes you away'
In Say When 2, Edmund and Derawan discuss Doctor Who 'It takes you away' - and touch on loss, Kevin Eldon saying 'tubular', severance, and ofc a lonely universe which takes the form of a frog.
On 'The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos'
Say When 3 powers up as Derawan and Edmund + very special guest K discuss the series 11 finale - the Ux; revenge dramas; neural stabilisers; and begin to realise that perhaps some kind of force stops neoliberal sci-fi from comprehending the universe....
On 'Resolution'
We discuss 'Resolution' - taking in domestication; the cultural status of DNA; Schrodinger's Dalek; queer timeliness; joy riding; abolition of the family; daleks & the postwar boom; the idea of not doing enough;-among other topics. Plus a Say When 4 new year's message.
On 'Orphan 55'
The tardy Say When 7 crew get stuck in a toxic mist, but when it clears, the sunlight is 'even worse'. Hyper-referencing and neo-liberal plot twists abound as another episode is scornfully but lovingly consumed.
On 'The Pilot'
Say When 5 goes back in Doctor Who chronology to discuss The Pilot from season 10 - and in so doing discuss the autumn of twelve; failures of renewal; the absence of queer love; and the good old mundane chip life.
