I didn’t watch the new Doctor Who spinoff today, but I did watch all of the previous episodes of Doctor Who that feature the Sea Devils as well as the first couple of episodes of Torchwood: Children Of Earth which apparently has a character from the new series in it.

282 I was tired and confused yesterday (26th November 2025) 26.11.2025 8:21 ↓

You may have noticed that there was an element of repetition in the last two episodes of the podcast, that’s because I genuinely forgot that I’d already recorded one in Sydney when I recorded the second one in Sydney! I’m in Singapore now and hopefully slightly less tired.
