Oh hell yeah! That was really fun! Jodie and Mandip are great and as always Foley’s characterisation is on point and flows really well. And I liked the side characters (except Mason, but he’s probably meant to be hateable LMFAO) a lot! The story itself is such a blast! I thought the twist would be one of the chickens, but the actual reveal RULES and I love how it’s done.

I do have the same issues folks above have with some of the characters being a little hard to differentiate, and when the vampire I spoke I had to listen hard and rewind a little to make out everything it was saying

Overall a solid 4* for me! And a great start to a new era!

Oh and the idea of truth vampires??? That rules !!!

Also the interviews are a blast, I love how Mandip and Jodie are genuinely besties irl

Yeah this was really fun, even the justification for them. Usually the idea of “Truth Vampires” would just be a thing, not explained, just named… and a tiny bit lame as a result.

Having a reason for them and an actual biochemical one was a very nice touch.

Foley knows the game. He can produce all manner of different scripts depending on the assignment.

That was a lot of fun. It definitely helps that Whittaker has some audio work experience, Gill takes a little to get her performance going. It’s a standard Tim Foley script so it’s great.

Gave it a listen!

LOVED it, they absolutely nailed 13 and Yaz, they mentioned it in the interviews, but it definitely feels like they’re getting more of a dialogue focus rather than action, and it’s already bringing more depth to the characters. Excited to see where they grow over the course of these 13 episodes. (Series 12B?)

Not gonna lie, I thought the chickens were going to be an annoying “haha the Doctor is an alien and doesn’t understand human traditions” joke, but no! They were great! Tied into the whole story and paid off at the end. Let’s make sure we get them added as companions right away.

The Tourist??? Another time lord, perhaps? Excited to see where it goes. Very excited for Lionesses of Winter now!

So finally a trans guy character! Love this!

I got side-tracked by the past/present/future discussion the first time listening, so now on a relisten…
