The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances
This week we're looking back twenty years (twenty! years!) to the first proper episode written by one Steven Moffat - someone who I think we'll be hearing a bit more from in future. Along the way we discuss shame, romance and the ways in which a sprinkling of science fiction can get us closer to historical truth.Watch this episode on YoutubeEmail usFind us on Bluesky & Instagram Hosted on Acast.

Enlightenment
