    Yeah, there was an episode in Matt Smith’s first season where he was hopping around non-linearly, but I don’t think he actually interacted with himself at any point.

      You’re right of course, any multi-Doctor episode is pretty good evidence that the Doctor isn’t exactly their own biggest fan…

          Yeah. I know the feeling. Some of the larger story beats of the clone goo doctor arc are pretty predictable, and maybe didn’t demand a full two part episode. But some of the individual moments are brilliant.

            On a sidenote, “The rebel flesh”/" The almost people" were directed by Julian Simpson who has been developing a swathe of weird and very good audio dramas with the BBC over the past decade or so.

            The tone of this interconnected “Pleasant Green universe” is very early-oughts Warren Ellis/Grant Morrison, with some fairly mind-boggling concepts that might appeal to Who fans.

            For an easy gateway, look up “The Lovecraft investigations” in your podcast player 🙂

      I only watched the deleted scenes from this year’s season now, and although it’s brief there is also a Bill & Ted moment where Climax Ncuti literally hands Second Act Ncuti the preprogrammed referee whistle.

      Not quite to the same level as in this trailer, but mostly a note that some of those deleted scenes are really good, and sometimes actually make more sense of the story…
