Episode 112: “The Witchfinders”
Debating Doctor Who - A podcast by Allison Shoemaker and Alasdair Wilkins
Categories:
It's the landmark 112th episode of The Alan Cumming Discussion Hour! Allison and Alasdair dive into the gloriousness that is Alan Cumming as King James I, and also we talk a bit about the Doctor Who episode he happens to be spending time in. Actually, we have a lot to say about this one beyond just Cumming's admittedly brilliant performance, and Allison especially looks closely at what works and what doesn't about its handling of the Doctor's gender and how it affects her role in the story. Also, Alasdair transcends the very notion of self-parody with a fantasy casting suggestion that has to be heard to be believed.
