Episode 273 - I Only See Four Lights
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 16 minutes and 8 secondsBig Brother is watching you!In this week’s show we step away briefly from the Doctor Who Universe to delve into another in our Beyond the Doctor series. This time starring War Doctor actor John Hurt in the adaptation of the George Orwell classic, Nineteen Eighty-Four. We review the post-apocalyptic film as well as give our impressions on Hurt in the roll of Winston Smith. Also, we get a bit sidetracked late in the recording, but we promise it circles back around to Doctor Who in the end, so bear with us.
Plus.. wait… no news this week? Surely we can find something. No? Okay, moving along, then.
And of course, your feedback.
