Grab your companions and sonic screwdrivers listeners, because we’re talking Doctor Who today on The Show Off podcast. This is the first time we’ll each be pulling an episode from the same show to talk about, starting with Amanda’s pick: Doctor Who series 8 episode 4, “Listen.” It’s a Twelve and Clara episode, and you bet we’re gonna talk about all of the insanity that comes with these two together, for better or worse.
We chat about creating atmosphere with your lighting and cinematography, a fun creepy cold open, the quintessential Moffat monster, always thinking about how you can terrify children, timey wimey shenanigans, the most committed headdesk on TV, the rarity of an episode with great speeches from both the Doctor AND companion, the wiLDesT suggestive line of dialogue that goes nowhere, a tasteful sprinkle of comedy throughout, and the most insane subtext romance you ever did see on your television screen. We hope you enjoy and leave us your take in the comments!
