In part 16 of 3102 (you don't need to have heard the others), Briar and Uther discuss 'The Singing Sands’ (you don't need to have seen it). Written by John Lucarotti and directed by Waris Hussein, it's the second episode of Marco Polo, the fifth story of the first series of the first iteration of Doctor Who. We watched Loose Cannon's 2013 reconstruction of the episode.


Other topics covered: An attempt at raw doggin’ this one. Uther generally being very tired so he seeming much sadder than he was. Leap Day William. Where the mic is clipped when recording nude. The Ritual of Re-introduction. More Baby-Sitters’ Club talk than Doctor Who talk. Uther and Bri pitch The Au Pair Society, the gritty sequel to the BSC, following all of the members into a dark expanded universe. More Gilmore Girls opinions. Green hat hackers. ‘Kristy and the Overly Gendered Little League Team.’ “We all know the first lesson of Peaches.” “A six-year-long blackspot.” Which Miyazaki characters Uther thinks he looks like. Whether Briar can tell Uther if his heart is broken, or how to use the bin. Foot use. A new character debuts. Websites that tell you to look at other websites. Bri takes a controversial reading break when Uther starts defaming her. The worse Tatiana impression of all time. Briar recaptures the magic of talking like a witchly crone. “Chris Marker is very mad at you right now.” A lot of yawning late in the day. Briar’s Book-review Bloopers! The first time Uther and Briar met. Creativity crisis counselling. Some Wachowski talk. And, of course, the third David Mitchell.
