March 30, 2022 Talks to Frazer Gregory about his choice of Remembrance of the Daleks (3/4)
Joe & Frazer; full of praise for the 7th Doctor. What scene does Frazer thing Chris Chibnall would be crucified for? Is this the ultimate Keff Jive session? Massive props for the effects they are pulling off on this budget.
