In which we talk waaaay too much about Passions.

This week's episode! An ending! Specifially, the ending of Series 8, and there's lots to talk about. Did we end up liking what Moffat was throwing down after a rough season? Who knows! We were drunk! Also: stuff with Danny Pink (oh my god Danny Pink) leads to a pack of lies and we gab about Big Hero 6, probably. And yeah, Passions, but whatever.

Outro music is "Robots" by Flight of the Conchords

Derek, Martin, Eddie and Andy come together to talk about the exciting S8 finale. And while we are on the subject of Bananas whats what with the Missing Episodes?

It's the finale of series 8 with Death In Heaven by Steven Moffat. And did this finale deliver the goods and did Moffat keep his fairly good track record and deliver another quality series finish? Well, Phil and Paul really can't make their minds up in what proves to be a very argumentative episode. Yes, Phil and Paul seem quite content to contradict one another all through this and as usual Phil is angrier than most. In fact he gets so wound up, he misses plot points that Paul has to remind him of and he even stops remembering what series he has been watching!

And in the news, more stats to bore you with, award news, the BBC responds to complaints over Dark Water which naturally gets Phil riled up and in Omega's Tat Corner, more tat from Titan and the New Zealand Mint.

This week on the Arrow of Time we do a stumble through (literally) of the Doctor Who series 8 finale, “Death In Heaven.” To make this grand finale more grand we decided to double the amount of people on the podcast to a whopping eight! Join Joseph, Matt, Gabe and Dave, as they are joined by Kirby, Conrad, Sean, and the ever delightful Ivan. Was breaking their four person limit a mistake? …Or the BEST decision ever!!! You decide!

"I am an idiot with a box and a screwdriver."

So after 12 weeks of soul-searching and self-scrutinisation, this is the conclusion the Doctor comes to.

Not the only disappointment, perhaps, during the two-part Series 8 finale, Dark Water and Death in Heaven.

Clara is not the Doctor, Missy is the Master (though perhaps not one worthy of the name) and Dead Danny becomes a Cyberman who saves the world. So far, so predictable.

But a Time Lord travelling by Mary Poppins' umbrella, an undead metallic Brigadier and skeletons who become Cybermen after a bout of inclement weather are a little less by-the-book.

But did Jim and Martin feel it all amounted to a satisfying end to the excellent Series 8? Or an embarrassing, drunken hurling-up after a feast of great Who?

Listen in to find out.

And with that, it's over--for another six weeks, anyway. Series 8 has come to a close, and its final episode has rather a lot to chew over. Join Deb, Erika, and Katrina as we delve into some of those elements: Missy/The Master, Clara as the Doctor, the evolution of lying, the self-realization of the Doctor... There are so many elements, however, that some of them will be left for next week, when we have many Verities to talk about the whole shebang--it's our Series 8 wrap-up!

What did you think of the series finale? Was it a perfect culmination of a fantastic series? A fitting culmination for a lousy series? Or something in between? Let us know in the comments!

• Erika can't wait for Liz's upcoming book in the "Chicks Dig" series, Companion Piece!

  • giggled over Robbie Bonham's Pinky and the Brig drawing!

Death In Heaven by Steven Moffat

Adam gets his posse back, perhaps for one last time... Debbie, Kirby, Ben, Rhys, Robert and Mary are very opinionated about the last episode of series 8. There is even a cameo from Alicia.

There is also a great big postbag of feedback this week, for the first time ever!

We just about have enough time for You Won't Get This One.

The end of Series 8 has arrived, and all too soon in our opinion. This week on the podcast, we give our impressions of the season’s finale, Death in Heaven. We share our reviews on the climactic story setting us up for Christmas to come.

But, first some convention guest announcements, one particular that came to a surprise to the three of us. Also, we’ll discuss other items in the news of the week.

Plus, we announce the winners of our Bicentepiversary event. Congratulation to the winners.

And, of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

Doctor Who Series 8 Finale time!  There's "Death in Heaven", and John & Will are back to break down the episode and talk about it!   Dive in to the 2 hours of discussion - we talk Doctor, Clara, Danny, Missy, Osgood, Kate, the Brig, the Cybermen, thematic arcs, annoying plot holes, sadness over fallen comrades, and so much more.  Plus, there's trivia, which includes one of my (Will) better pulls on a right answer (balanced by my forgetting the answer to a question John had previously asked).  We really enjoyed talking about this, and we hope you'll enjoy listening!!
