In part 17 of 3060 (you don't need to have heard the others), Briar and Uther discuss ‘Five Hundred Eyes’ (you don't need to have seen it). Written by John Lucarotti and directed by Waris Hussein, it's the third episode of Marco Polo, the fifth story of the first series of the first iteration of Doctor Who. We watched Recon Mission’s reconstruction of the episode.

 

Other topics covered: “Barbara? Barbara? Barbara? Barbara?” How good we are at lockdown. Tom Hardy calling Queen Anne and Moriarty. Taika Waititi’s early work. The various Korgs. “Not evil enough.” Either the shortest or the longest quote of the week thus far. Factoid for the weak. “Me saying it has a ‘neckbeard energy’ is an observation, not a judgement.” More Bones chat. A sponsor spot for Dailymotion dot com. Not enough hashish chat for my liking. Divided cheese. Waris Hussein’s history as a renegade Time Lord. Utopia, what a show. How much we love EVERY SINGLE MEMBER of the cast of The History Boys. Business plans for the podcast and Bri’s opposition to them. ‘We should watch Beau Trevail later!” And the horrific French that follows. A return to the Wachowski well. “It fuckin’ toots.” “If you want to feel sad, check out The Second Renaissance.” Work updates and anticipation. Cookie preferences. Uther’s favourite part of lockdown. A Nimona recommendation. Library jokes and ISBN numbers. Claire Denis Villeneuve. Bri and Uther’s different theories of Film Festival. What it sounds like when they do or don't drink coffee. Bri’s double lobes. How Tim Burton lives with himself. The films of Cameron Crowe. And, of course, ASMR.
