130 The Magician’s Apprentice & The Witch’s Familiar
Live from Master Closet Studios, you’re listening to the only podcast on the internet whose name becomes less accurate with each episode: It’s the Noobs and the Whovian!
This is the podcast that introduces a whole new generation to Doctor Who by watching an episode each week and discussing it from the perspective of a dad who’s seen it before, and two sons who haven’t.
Welcome to Episode 130, covering series 8 episode 1 and 2: The Magician’s Apprentice & The Witch’s Familiar
This is the one where the Doctor, Clara, & Missy go to Skaro to meet with Davros! And Clara gets turned into a Dalek… again.
Production notes
* Story #254* Originally aired September 19 and September 26 2015 to 6.54 and 5.71 million viewers * Written by: Steven Moffat* Directed by: Hettie MacDonald who did Blink back in the day, and that’s it!
Misc Trivia
* Fun fact: Peter Capaldi actually shreds. He plays that guitar for real.* This is the first story set on Skaro since 1979’s Destiny of the Daleks
Checklist
* Name of the episode spoken in dialogue?* Creature of the week* The Daleks* They need her to run, they are toying with her. * Is that why they suck so bad at killing?* They can’t die? They are hard-wired not to die, but keep on going no matter what happens. But they still age.* Cybermen suppress emotion. Daleks channel it through a gun. That’s why they keep yelling Exterminate, it’s how they reload.* Davros* Davros was a child of war, a war that wouldn’t stop. Lasting for a thousand years until nobody could remember why anymore.* He created the Daleks as warriors that wouldn’t bother with the why.* For Davros, the Time War is still going…* Wait, he has eyes?!* Jiggery Pokery* TARDIS * HADS* Sonic* He doesn’t have a screwdriver anymore* Now he’s all about wearable technology!
Other stuff we noticed
* The Maldovarium – Dorium Maldovar* The Doctor’s guitar amp was by Magpie* Anyone for dodgems? Dalek bumper cars!* Your sewers are revolting

Who’s Who?
* Who is Missy?* Death is for other people, dear.* She’s his closest friend. Clara is the puppy.* Their trying to kill each other is like their texting.* She has NOT turned good.* Traps are her flirting* She might be even crazier than Sims’ Master.* She had a daughter – is this the first we’ve heard of this?* I’m murdering a Dalek. I’m a Time Lady, it’s like our golf.* That’s why I gave her to you: to see the enemy inside the friend, the friend inside the enemy. We’re all both.* Who is Clara?* She’s on speed dial for UNIT now?* When we first met her, she was actually stuck in a Dalek….* Who is the Doctor?* Who are you? I’m just a passer-by. I was looking for a book shop, how am I doing?* You have one chance in a thousand, but one is all you ever need. * He has a weakness. If you seek the Doctor, seek his friends.* Have you called him yet? We don’t know enough yet, he doesn’t like gossip.* I spent yesterday in a bowtie. The day before that in a long scarf. It’s my party and all of me is invited.* His “new face” is more like Davros’* Why have I ever let you live? Compassion, Doctor. It has always been your greatest indulgence.* Why does the Doctor always survive? He assumes he’s going to win!* There’s no such thing as the Doctor. I’m just a bloke in a box telling stories.
