146: Uncle Winky Was Right
Manage episode 385047480 series 1181725
"I was the fan, and I enjoyed being serviced"
After a decade, Ben and Mark bring On the Time Lash's NuWho Watchthrough to an end with a discussion of The Power of Doctor, paired up with Big Finish's wildly experimental 40th anniversary audio adventure - Zagreus.
And since it's the end, Ben and Mark discuss the big issues:
How to lend gravitas to the name Uncle Winky, why The Power of the Doctor is a pitch-perfect satire of modern fandom, a celebration of Sacha Dhawan's Master, the meaning of an empty chair, why Paul McGann doesn't wear robes, the impossibility of explaining the plot of Zagreus, and a lament for when Big Finish took big swings.
And what is the imbecile/Icini conundrum?
