Who Back When | A Doctor Who Podcast
N038 Blink
We bring out the big guns for our 100th canonical Doctor Who review to talk about an episode that needs no introduction.
* * *
A record-amount of us sat down to debate the merits of Blink, an episode that many hail as the greatest achievement of Doctor Who to date.
When Sally Sparrow coerces her friend, Kathy Nightingale, to break into four unsuspecting quantum-locked flatmates' house, and Kathy is subsequently sent back to the city that never sleeps, Hull, in the 1920s, all hell breaks loose.
With The Doctor only appearing in seemingly random DVD Easter Eggs, Sally must figure out the truth on her own.
As this, appropriately, is our 100th canonical Doctor Who reivew, we stuck around a little longer than usual, brought out the big guns and discussed key issues, such as...
• What if this episode had been called Wink?
• How detailed were Sally Sparrow's notes?
• Why isn't everyone who's sent back by a Weeping Angel buying shares in IBM?
... to name a few.
We'd also like to take this opportunity to welcome Marie aboard the great steamship of time that is Who Back When. Fret not, dear Podcastland, we'll give her a proper introduction very soon.
Enjoy!
