347: I Regret Nothing and I Dont Take it Back (Village of the Angels)

Published: Nov. 28, 2021, 4:57 p.m.

Well, I suppose it was worth a shot trying to get him to take it back. (Editor’s note: No.)
\nWe somehow went this entire episode without making a “Children of the Stones” joke. Can you believe that? I can’t believe that. We made a dozen of those jokes while we were watching the episode, so the fact that we didn’t make a single one in the episode is a little shocking. It’s Village of the Angels, written by Chris Chibnall and Maxine Alderton and aired on November 21, 2021.

\nShow-notes:
\n3:05: I couldn’t find out exactly when they finished Flux specifically, but I read that Jodie and Mandip wrapped the final special in October. Here’s a handy dandy timeline of the entire season’s + specials production schedule.
\n4:33: Here’s the article explaining why Doctor Who is apparently banned in China. Apparently the ban has something to do with treating history seriously, which I guess the Chinese government says that shows like Doctor Who don’t. Weird but hey. The article also reminded me that Winnie the Pooh is also censored in China. Lmao.
\n6:40: Here’s the “bloody good story” and “absolutely brilliant” tweets for ya.
\n11:40: Devon is a county in the south west of the UK.
\n16:19: Kiyan and I are referencing Geraint Cooper, from Torchwood.
\n18:06: Here’s a clip in case you forgot what an Ood vomiting out its brain looked like.
\n18:48: COME QUIETLY OR THERE WILL BE TROUBLE.
\n24:17: Kiyan probably could not find the phrase “There is no planet called Time” in the Halloween Apocalypse transcript, because the phrase was actually said in War of the Sontarans.
\n31:42: From Chakoteya: “JERICHO: Oh, I’ve seen many things beyond my comprehension, Doctor. I was one of the first British soldiers into Belsen at the end of the war. If you think a few stone statues will destroy my equilibrium you are mistaken. What do you need me to do?” Bergen-Belsen (or just Belsen) was a concentration camp.
\n32:20: I will never find this tweet but I don’t even care to defend this tweet.
\n33:15: Sorry for linking to Daily Mail, but they had the best picture of Jodie Whittaker looking miserable at the beach.
\n35:55: Here’s the tweet from the official BBC account of the angels and their scar, for all you fanatics to compare to.
