OTTL Extra 9.9: Hell Bent
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 49 minutes and 33 secondsAnd so, Series 9 comes to an end. Is Hell Bent the satisfying finale that the series so richly deserves? Mark certainly seems to think so, Ben is less sure. They discuss it in their usual fashion, coming to some interesting conclusions on the relative merits of how our modern day showrunners deal with finales and the portrayal of emotion. We also ponder what could possibly be next for Steven Moffat now that he's "been persuaded to stay".
