Eruditorum Presscast: Knock Knock
Oh, yeah, I should probably announce this here instead of just uploading the file, huh? Anyway, our podcast on Knock Knock, unexpectedly featuring Seth Aaron Hershman instead of Kevin Burns, is now available for your listening pleasure. Or displeasure. Get it here.

Listened to this earlier. Poor Big Finish, getting all the bad ideas… lol
I have to say, I wouldn’t mind Carole Ann Ford coming back, but I would imagine it’d have to be a pretty brief appearance, like maybe she regenerates by dying of old age in bed or something, with a quiet scene with Capaldi sitting by her bedside with her, I dunno. I’d like to think Moffat would be able to write a scene for Carole Ann Ford that plays to her strengths, whatever they may be.
I don’t know how I feel about the First Doctor making an appearance. I liked the bit in Listen, but a recast Hartnell-alike with lines and all? David Bradley was great in An Adventure in Space and Time, but he’s not friggin’ Hartnell (nor was Hurndall). I’m sure if Moffat does it, the writing will be good… but ultimately I think I’m with Seth, with it just not ‘feeling’ right to me.

Oh, and, uh, yeah, the episode was average. I didn’t hate it, I didn’t love it. Felt very slow for the first half, then whipped through too much in the second half, none of it really added up to much, though. So, I’m with both of you on this one haha

While listening to you talk about Susan my brain did this awful thing where it asked “What if Missy was lying and was really Susan the whole time.” and it filled me with a very real, if momentary, fear that really made me hate the power of the human mind.

You’re not alone! I had the exact same thought.
Much as I want it to be Susan the clues point to Miss so this would be the best (or possibly the worst, depending how it’s handled) of both worlds.
