A couple of questions, if I may! Firstly, a Broadchurch one - do you think when you've finished it you might take a look at the US remake, Gracepoint? I've never seen it, but I know it stars Tennant and was overseen by Chibnall, so might make an intriguing comparison. And a more general question - do you ever find yourself having to use subtitles when watching UK shows? I ask as I was surprised to hear one of the Blind Wave team mention recently that they use subtitles when watching Doctor Who, and it made me wonder whether you had ever had to.

TWD: 1) How are you liking the new season of TWD so far with the whole 'New Beginning' shift and a new showrunner at the helm? Do you think it feels different to Gimple's tenure? Do you think the show needed a 'refresher' of sorts? 2) Side-question, do/have you read the comics? If so, then are you up to date? And if not, are you planning on reading them at some point? 3) How have you found these last few episodes in regards to Rick? I know how much the character means to you. As sad as it is that he's leaving, do you think he's getting a good sendoff so far? Broadchurch: What do you think of the S3 plot so far? Do you like how it's focusing on a different case than Danny? As well as a different type of case in general. To me, the plot definitely feels somewhat removed from the first two seasons, with a lack of returning characters from S1-2, but it also seems to be giving closure to the main characters from those seasons. Mainly the Latimers Doctor Who: What are your thoughts on bringing John Simm back into the foray? As well as the classic cybermen. Capaldi had said to Moffat that the Mondasian Cybermen were his favourites as a kid so Moffat decided to make them a part of his final story. And Simm had said to Moffat that he would love to return to the show at any point, so here he is too. As you're probably aware, the audience was spoiled of both of these reveals many months in advance by the BBC's trailers, so I just wonder where your head's at considering you had no clue it was coming Vikings: What a great season this was 1) How did you find the plot of Floki possibly siding with Horik against Ragnar? Did you think he was actually betraying Ragnar or did you doubt it? (I just feel bad in retrospect that Floki had to leave his best friend out of his wedding) Floki definitely seemed to be playing with your heart a lot this season nonetheless 2) Thoughts on Athelstan's and Ragnar's relationship? I found it so heartwarming when Athelstan was finally reunited with everyone, especially Bjorn and Ragnar 3) How do you feel about Bjorn's development this series? From that cocky small boy in the beginning to fighting in battles alongside his parents as Bjorn Ironside (!) - Also I think the actor for adult Bjorn is great

1) You've mentioned a couple of times that out of all the sensates you identify with Kala the most. Why do you think that is? 2) You get to pick a sidekick for shenanigans: Bug or Nardole?

Firstly what did you make of the scene in doctor who where the nurse mutes the call for help from the patients in the hospital, I have always loved when a show goes dark and I find that to be one of the darkest moments of new-who so far. Also you said you love nardole, do you like him more than strax?

What did you think of the character "Razer"? Ultimately it was an act by the Master, but part of me wishes he was real because I enjoyed his silliness Also I'm glad you saw an adventure in space and time because you instantly recognized the mondasian cyberman :D

Hi Jess a number of questions for you this month what did you think of Netflix decision to drop both Luke Cage and Iron Fist and can you sum up how Peter Capaldi time has been as the Doctor as you approach his end as 12 i know he will not be as high as 11 aka Honey aka Matt oh and are you ready for when Andy Lincon leaves The Walking Dead i hope a big box of hankies and water resistant makeup will be needed and by your side 1 last thing i like being called Alex not Alexander it makes me feel i have done something to upset you take care love light and peace

Oh and one more thing, an interesting coincidence. The DW episode 10x11 was aired on TV a couple of days before you released your reaction to "the girl who waited" (where amy gets trapped in the medical facility for 36 years). An interesting coincidence considering the first thing old amy said to rory when he went in to rescue her was "i waited for you"

For Iron Fist, if you talked about this a lot in your 2x8 reaction you can skip this (2X8 coming out after you film this but before we see this) but I would love to hear about your reaction to the news Ward overheard in 2x7. For TWD, I have two questions. One, where would you rank the beginning of this season vs the beginning of all of the other seasons ( I am really loving it for what it is worth)? Two, what do you think about how the show has handled the conflict between Rick and Maggie/Daryl?

Possibly They were talking about difficulties with Karen Gillan's accent, though, and I have seen other American reactors mention it once or twice, too.

So - I can't think of anything particularly interesting to ask about any of the shows on the list this month - all the good stuff, from my perspective, will be coming (real) soon. But I do have a question about the Twilight Zone - it's obviously a classic, but in some ways a fairly dated one and a really interesting choice for reacting to. So can I ask, what were your thoughts about why you wanted to rewatch some episodes - was this something you remember from watching re-runs as a kid, or an interest in the show due to its legacy and cultural impact? An equivalent British show in terms of social impact and TV history (though not content) would probably be the Quatermass serials from the 50s and, of course, early DW. Are there other shows from the earlier days of television that you're interested in seeing?

Yeh I think we are more accustomed to American accents as we get all of their tv shows, but it doesn't often happen the other way around so I guess they aren't as used to the wide variety of accents.

lastminute.com Broadchurch - What do you think sets Broadchurch aside from other serial crime dramas like this with season-long story arcs? Do they do it better? Worse? How do Miller and Hardy compare to other detective duos you might have experienced in other shows? Finally, why does the music make a grown man cry? Asking for a friend. Doctor Who - I know you had mentioned in 10x11 that you couldn't decide if knowing a regeneration being imminent was better than being surprised by it, but now that you are in the midst of it, and you can reflect on where 12 began and where his story is seemingly going to finish, how do you feel about his character's progression? What would you like to see in the Christmas Special to cement these character developments?
