E53: The Vampires of Venice & femininity and the occult

A TARDIS of One’s Own

Good news, after two months of not recording and a very long backlog of episodes, we're back and on a real-time publishing schedule. If you've stuck with us, thank you!

This episode, we're talking about episode six of season five, The Vampires of Venice. The Doctor and Amy cross swords in more ways than one with a horde of blood-sucking vampires in 16th century Venice.

It's the perfect episode for Halloween, and a good opportunity to unpack the link between femininity and the occult a little bit. Jen mentions Twilight at least twice. Apologies.
