Episode 140: The Best Of… Ryan Sinclair

Debating Doctor Who

We're going to level with you, friends: "Resolution" is the best Ryan episode. If you want to hear about what an episode that does right by Ryan looks like, go back and give that one a listen. But do check this out too, as we take a look at two series 11 episodes that feature Ryan prominently: "The Woman Who Fell To Earth" and "Rosa." For the first, we reflect on just how galling it is that the show sacrificed Grace for the sake of other characters' development, and then for "Rosa" we wrestle with the fact that a lot of this episode doesn't stand up that well to a repeat viewing, especially in light of recent events. We also spend some time on why it's important to own it when we're wrong, drop some quick thoughts on "The Tsuranga Conundrum" and "Orphan 55" -- those two episodes we all love to remember -- and struggle through a mountain of technical difficulties, none of which should make this less fun to listen to, thankfully, just more time-consuming to edit.
