The Doctor Is In

Writer of Demons of the Punjab, Vinay Patel

Season 2, Ep. 7

This week on Doctor Who, we were hit with a heartbreaking look at partition, a horrifying and pivotal moment in history. Writer of the episode, Vinay Patel, sat down with me to chat about the pressures one feels doing not just their first episode of Who ever, but an episode that has such a weight behind it. We also talk about how much of a dish David Tennant is. Less important, clearly, but fun.

And in this week's Companion Piece: Doctor Martha Jones!
