We’re back! Andy was in the hospital. But he got better. We talk about a possible new companion casting and a lot about Arthur Darvill’s post-Who career, including minor spoilers for the most recent episodes of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. You’ll want to be here next week.

Possible new companion casting: Rakhee Thakrar, who was previously on EastEnders. Why we want a person of color as the companion. “Bring me the female woman of color!” Star Wars: Rogue One trailer. Why do we continue to need to have these conversations in 2016?
Arthur Darvill: our favorite New Who male companion.
Broadchurch. It was cool– the Doctor and Rory, but yet not. Great to see him be under suspicion as the priest, but he was great. Did anyone see him as Mephistopheles in Doctor Faustus? No, but we want to. DC’s Legends of Tomorrow- the heart of the show is Rip Hunter and time travel. The last two episodes got good again. Minor spoilers- is he willing to kill a child to save his wife and daughter? It can’t become the villains Captain Cold and Heatwave power hour.
Next week we’ll talk Captain America: Civil War after Melissa sees it. She’s definitely Team Cap. Cap v Iron Man v Batman v Superman. We’ll talk Jungle Book and Criminal maybe.
