The Story and The Engine / The Interstellar Song Contest
<p>After a week's break, we return to the fray with a conversation about the two most recent episodes of Doctor Who - <strong>The Story and The Engine </strong>and <strong>The Interstellar Song Contest</strong>. Along the way we discuss how "British" Doctor Who actually is, more on-the-nose metaphors and where Dugga Doo ranks in the Murray Gold songbook.</p><br><p>We're taking another break next week, but join us wherever you get your podcasts on 1st June for a conversation about the two-part finale and our post-season debrief.
