In this episode we're continuing to wish for a new reality as we get to the second part of our discussion of the insane firework finale of series 15.

What should Belinda's actual arc have been? Why is Belinda exiled to the baby cube? What could Billie Piper bring to The Doctor? Did the Christmas star eat the Doctor's soul too? What themes should be drawn through the whole era? Did David engage in anti-Shobogan discrimination? Do we overthink the opinions of actors? Was there a gas leak in the bone palace? Answers to all these questions on this episode of Always Foolish.

Always Foolish is a positive Doctor Who podcast, about finding things we like in episodes we don't. We pick out our favourite bits for these stories, and suggest quick fixes to some common critiques.
