2.04 - Saved her!

This week, Joy Piedmont sits in as host and gives me, your usual host Tom Dickinson, an opportunity to talk about my own moment from 2008's Forest of the Dead. We examine the timey-wimey nature of River's storyline, the Twelfth Doctor's role in a story that was produced years before he ever appeared on-screen, and what it means for the Doctor to be the person who saves people.
