As it's the season of giving, please enjoy a little teaser of this week's festive offering, wherein Matt and Billy discuss the never ending tragedy of being cishet, white males and why this particular period in Doctor Who's history seems to have a permanent hard-on.

You don't know how long I've been waiting for a commentary on River Song. Never liked her character even though it's such a brilliant idea for a time travel show, and I'm glad to see my views reflected when such a large part of fandom adores her

Sorry for such a paragraph!

I didn't really think much of the river song comments about being a screamer when I watched it when it came out but now on reflection it just feels weird and off for what doctor who is. Then I realised I think Moffat was trying to grow the show up with the fans. When it started back in 2005, it was assumed that children would be watching the show but 6 years later, the children that started were then teenagers so maybe Moffat was writing to reflect that? Instead of making it a family type show but with some adult stuff like the RTD (1) era was, he was trying to make it into a show aimed at teenagers to reflect who he assumed was watching at the time π€·ββοΈ
