THWR 140
Toby Hadoke's Who's Round 140 was the 140th episode of Toby Hadoke's Who's Round. In this episode, Toby Hadoke interviews director Michael Briant.
Synopsis
This is the last 2013 interview conducted for Who's Round before the already released encounter with Steven Moffat. The story Toby wanted to talk to this man about wasn't one he directed but rather one which he served on when he was learning his trade. And so, after interviews with 148 people over the course of 365 days, step forward the director behind some of Doctor Who's most memorable moments to draw a close to the initial batch of Toby Hadoke's Who's Round. Though in true timey-wimey fashion, it's not the last of the interviews we're presenting!
