We return from “retirement” to push through Secret of the Mimic’s late-game gauntlet: solving a devilish slide-puzzle to open a path, sneaking past Chica cupcakes and lockers in a tense patrol loop, and finally reaching the Admin Wing to unlock the upgrade machine and access the Mimic blueprints—with plenty of panicked laughs and almost-heroic bravery along the way.

Going Through Who 19.3: The Vampires of Venice
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Summary
Samuel and Jacob dive into a breezy, monster-of-the-week romp that doubles as Rory’s first real outing as a companion. They unpack why the “vampires” aren’t really vampires, nerd out over Eleventh Doctor set-pieces and production trivia, and debate the morality of the villain’s survival plan—all while tracking subtle steps in the Amy–Rory–Doctor dynamic and the early drumbeats of the Silence arc.
Highlights
- Outcome: A lively historical adventure that sets the stage for Rory to stick around
- Why the episode title changed to “The Vampires of Venice,” plus working titles and trailer vs. final-cut differences.
- First time the closing titles merge into a scene via the TARDIS keyhole transition.
- Production nuggets: custom fang molds, revoiced lines, a chilly river shoot (featuring a territorial swan), and a “too scary” scene trimmed by censors.
- Library-card Easter egg: a First Doctor photo, “John Smith,” and Totter’s Lane—retroactively deepening the alias gag.
- Character beats: Rory calls out how dangerous the Doctor can be; Arthur Darvill shines with quiet physical comedy; 11’s “rage” flashes still land.
- Smart sci-fi: every “vampire” trait gets a non-supernatural explanation without feeling info-dump-y.
- Set-piece love: the mirror scene (“this is Christmas”) and that delightfully steampunky weather machine.
- Arc touchpoint: a name drop that nudges us toward the Silence.
