The Doctor's nemesis returns as a chap with mommy issues conspires with extra-dimensional beings to turn humankind into wifi hard drives

* * *

As secret agents all over the world are having their DNA reformatted, “C”, head of MI6, has The Thirteenth Doctor and Team TARDIS brought in to investigate. Doc, after all, is the only person who knows anything about any of this! Alas, Doc can’t really do anything without Fox Mulder wannabe “O”, who, after all, is the only person who knows anything about any of this. Thus, after a brief briefing from C, she loops in O, and that’s really when the proverbial hits the fam.

In California, meanwhile, Daniel Barton, a former spy himself and now the CEO of VOR, giant conglomerate and what would happen if Google, Apple, AWS and Britbox had a transporter accident, might be being nefarious. Doc naturally dispatches her most cunning agents, Yaz and Ryan, to snoop. Might they uncover an alien invasion plot? Is Barton somehow involved? Might “O” not be who he says he is, even though we’ve never ever heard of him before? Yes. The answer to all of that is yes.

This is the second time we've discussed Spyfall on Who Back When. Have a listen to our very first, instant-reaction review of the whole two-parter, B065 Spyfall – Series 12 Opener, pronto!
