Samuel and Jacob take a trip into the dollhouse for Night Terrors, as the Eleventh Doctor answers a frightened child’s call for help. They discuss the episode’s creepy concepts, the effectiveness of the peg dolls, and how George’s fears shape the story. Along the way, Samuel brings a counseling perspective to the episode’s portrayal of childhood anxiety, while both hosts examine why a strong premise, great performances, and an emotional ending don’t quite overcome some frustrating pacing and storytelling choices.
