S1E2 - Wilf Blue Yonder

Where we get creeped out by a single brightly-lit corridor

Join hosts Josh, John, and Guy discuss the second Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Special, "Wild Blue Yonder."

The trio analyzes the unexpected stand-alone adventure style of this special, praising showrunner Russell T. Davies' ability to craft an emotionally impactful "haunted house in space" story with just the core cast. They explore the horror and existential elements of the episode, comparing it to classic stories like "Midnight" and "The Ark in Space."

The hosts also discuss the cameo appearance of Wilf and what his character has meant to them and the show. They speculate on the significance of plot elements like the song "Wild Blue Yonder" and the mysterious being known as "The Boss."

As they look ahead to the final special, "The Giggle," Josh, John, and Guy share their hopes for a bittersweet farewell to the 14th Doctor and Donna Noble as well as an answer to the lingering question "Why this face?"
