499: Doctor Who S11E8 Review: "The Witchfinders"

Published: Nov. 26, 2018, 11:08 p.m.

\u201cDoctor Who\u201d ventures to Lancashire\u2019s Pendle Hill this week for a story of King James, witch trials, and alien mud zombies. Jason\u2019s guest is Lancashire\u2019s own Antony Johnston (writer of Atomic Blonde, Wasteland, and The Fuse), who gives this episode a bit of a fact-check. But most of the time we\u2019re just talking about how much we enjoyed Alan Cumming\u2019s performance, the logistics of a three-companion TARDIS, and the merits of Chris Chibnall\u2019s very different vision of the show.
