August 10, 2021 Talks to the awesome Colin Neal about his choice of Flatline
Joe & Colin; we think this is perfection. Technically, emotionally, conceptually, creatively perfect. This was enough to salvage Doctor Who for Joe, and to score a 10/10 from Colin. We examine the era, and the story, and the season. Huge Jenna Coleman love.
