The end of season one draws near, with the first half of our discussion of the fourth episode of Gallifrey: A Blind Eye. Our heroes find themselves on a train in an embargoed time zone, where the paradoxes seem to be stacking. In this half we discuss Romana's wardrobe, the Pollard sisters, Narvin's sordid deal with Arkadian, and how terrible Torvald is. Contains Spoilers for: Lies, Pandora & Insurgency; Doctor Who: Storm Warning, Neverland, Zagreus & Horror of Glam Rock, Content warning: A Blind Eye features a lot of potentially triggering topics, and this is reflected in our discussion of the episode. These include: brief mention of suicide; discussions of antisemitism, racism, ethnocentrism, and other bigotry both in the 1930s and now; nazis and fascism in other places; transphobia in another contemporary Big Finish story.
