We watch “73 Yards” (Series 14, Episode 4) where Ruby stars in the British remake of “It Follows”: “It Semperdistanses”. While Ruby keeps a constant 66.75 metres from her new lifelong lady friend, she learns the Welsh are dicks, she prevents a mad Welshman from making it rain nuclear warheads, and dies of old age on the shore of Wales whilst successfully informing her younger self to warn the Doctor to not... step on string? That reminds me... the titular Doctor was in this episode! And whaa... Denise was on this podcast? That’s like 219 feet of added value!

215 - I'm Bombed Outta My Mind (S14, Ep3)

We watch "Boom" (Series 13, Episode 3) where the Doctor and Ruby take a ‘beach holiday’ on a planet where the invading religious forces are unknowingly fighting themselves in a blatant scheme for profit by the villainous Villengard Corporation. Whilst said business-as-usual is occurring, our Whosome-Twosome duet on a haunting shanty, Anglican Marine John Francis Vater becomes a better father by becoming a talking meat stick, and his daughter Splice (...really?) is as childish or mature as the plot requires of a 13 year old actor. All that and a preview of a future companion who didn’t know they were auditioning to become a companion.

217 - Gimme A Shot And Make It A Double (S14, Ep5)

We watch “Dot And Bubble” (Series 14, Episode 5) in which we meet the seemingly vacuous and totally-non-homicidal Lindy Pepper-Bean. We follow Lindy on her typical day: she wakes up, checks her social feed, reports to work for her daily two hour shift, narrowly avoids being eaten by slow moving slug creatures...you know, the usual. Whilst all this was going down, the Doctor and Ruby are shocked (SHOCKED! I tell you) to discover that Lindy and her wealthy, white, blonde haired, Aryan buddies are all racists. Except for dreamy Ricky September whom Lindy throws under the bus to escape being killed by Phantasm orbs. #JUSTICEFORRICKY. Unless he was also a racist then screw that guy.
