Gridlock Commentary
Recorded moments after our commentary for Father’s Day, here’s Jack and me doing commentary for the Russell T Davies not-nearly-as-classic-as-it-should-be Gridlock. I think we’re vaguely more on topic this time, but that’s really not saying anything.
Also, in case you missed it, Last War in Albion Volume 1 is out.

You and Jack talking about ANOTHER great RTD/Gardner era episode?!
Now you’re just spoiling me.

Talk about/talk over, yeah.

Oh yeah. I’m just really bad at listening to commentaries (meaning: I can’t be bothered to put the episode on), so I usually treat them as podcasts.

Yeah, I’ve really enjoyed both of these. Whether on topic or not, you’re both quite entertaining.

I know it probably won’t happen anyway but please don’t pick a Smith on that Jack likes. Actually the dream would be to pick one that Jack likes and Phil hates. Yes, that’s the dream…that’s the nightmare.

We’ve picked one that Phil loves and I don’t mind, so it’s a fudge I’m afraid.

But surely there’s not 45mins worth of stuff to say about The Doctor’s Wife? And that’s a good one.
A Good Man Goes to War commentary (meant in the warmest possible spirit):
PS: Go on Jack, tell me how much you hate this.
JG: Usually, no, I will not be your performing STFUMoffatt monkey. But actually, this is particularly disgusting, for instance-
PS: -wait for it.
JG: I mean, I don’t want to be too hard on Moffatt, but the gay, Anglican-
PS: -wait for it.
JG: Well, I mean, this bit is just horrifically sexist, just-
PS: -wait for it.
JG: You know, I’ve seen this and read your essay. I know where this is going, so I thought it might be good to just innumerate the instances of blatant-
PS: -wait for it.
Quiz: Mrrrewewaaaawwaawaw
PS: -wait for it…
JG: I give up.
PS: BOOM! Narrative substitution! Everything’s been tipped on it’s head! Moffatt is the most feminist writer to ever work on Doctor Who. You would have to be an actual moron to think otherwise.
JG: Look, I just -comment deleted-
PS: It’s my blog. Play us out, Seeming…

that apostrophe on “it’s” was not me.
Need someone to proofread my EP fanfic (slashing is too easy, really)
