Debating Doctor Who

This week is all about YOU! Alasdair and Caroline take a break from our usual debates to read a whole bunch of emails from our listeners. Did this season pack an emotional punch? How did Peter Capaldi do? How does Clara know so much about the Doctor? And what does the future of the show look like? All that and more plus a ton of discussion (and yes, debate) about the strengths and weaknesses of this season.

Season 8 may be over, but Alasdair and Caroline have no plans of slowing down anytime soon! They take a look at the highs and lows of "Death In Heaven." Did this episode live up to the potential of "Dark Water"? And, more importantly, did it live up to the potential of Season 8? While the hosts have differing opinions on that last question, they both agree "The Pandorica Opens"/"The Big Bang" is the best season finale in New Who history. But just what makes that two-parter so strong?

Alasdair and Caroline sort through part one of a two part finale. Can "Dark Water" stand on its own? What are our hopes for next week's conclusion? And what do we think of that huge Missy reveal? Then in part two, we take a look at a rather unsuccessful season finale from the Moffat era, "The Name Of The Doctor." Does this episode work on any level? Alasdair and Caroline think it does (kind of).

A forest sprouts up over night in “In The Forest Of The Night” so Alasdair and Caroline discuss two other episodes that involve trees: “The End Of The World” and “The Doctor, The Widow, And The Wardrobe.” Are these episodes as exciting as they could be? And, more importantly, what is “The Doctor, The Widow, And The Wardrobe” trying to say about motherhood?
