Mandip interview on Radio 5 today. The interview starts at 2hr 13 min and goes about 20 minutes https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00113gs

New villain. Maybe you are thinking of Tim Shaw, introduced in Series 11?

UK ratings only

Overnight ratings: 4.43 million (not sure if that encompasses devices). I was actually fearing below 4 million given how ratings are in general, but that’s pretty decent. We’ll see how that grows with 7 day and 28 day figures

Karvanista was his personal name and Lupari was his species’ name. As far as we know so far, K is the only living Division agent the Doctor has been able to find; it doesn’t appear she knew him in the past, but something more could be revealed later

I did and it seemed to me the only real differences were that the repeat had 3 behind the scenes segments with the cast and a longer next time trailer at the end, so I would keep the extended repeat, if those things interest you

I think because he didn't want to answer the Doctor's questions about the Division or she was interfering in his mission to save humans. Maybe she just annoyed him I loved that Yaz was helping to fly the Tardis

Definitely figure out how to turn on subtitles. That's the only way I can understand most of the dialogue (and John Bishop is especially troublesome), at least the first time through

That was so much fun and did a lot of different things I didn't expect. I loved the antagonistic back and forth between Dan and Karvanista, and a very sure of herself Yaz acting like she's seen it all (and she probably has) with Dan. The slightly antagonistic back and forth between Yaz and the Doctor was interesting. Loved the pre-credits escape of the Doctor and Yaz, though why did they land on bedding on the floor of the Tardis? There was a lot going on, but clearly these are characters we'll see again and all very interesting. That ending was ominous. I'm going to have to think more about what I liked, but what a great start!

Bill Clinton was definitely a slippery slimy jerk in that Starr interview (deposition?) while at the same time I kind of loved that he ran circles around Ken Starr and his team. For all of Starr’s personal distaste for impure talk, he and his team certainly got down and dirty with questioning Clinton about the affair Hillary was scoffed at for her “vast right wing conspiracy” remark but she was right. I felt sorry for her for the situation she found herself in, but she continued to stay with a hound dog A really good episode that focused on the Clintons and the personal fallout for them of the affair I know I mentioned the annoyance of the 80 minute length for nearly every episode, but I’m finding things don’t really drag like I thought they would. They are putting the extra length to good use

BBC Radio Wales interview with Mandip Gill, about 15 minutes

It should include the synopsis (the Futon Critic would have that, thefutoncritic.com, or CBS's press release site) or at least some summary of what the episode is about and also what date and time it's on.

Fun episode. Thorfinn burning down the gazebo and then the ghosts blaming the kids was hilarious

Just hit Start Topic at the top and then follow how the other episode topics look

Good episode and it definitely went to dark places in the second half
