In Doctor Who's early years, there were many episodes where the Doctor was noticeably absent, usually because William Hartnell or Patrick Troughton needed a holiday from the grueling shooting schedule. But Human Nature is the only episode of Doctor Who where the Doctor doesn't appear at all outside of flashbacks. Of course, David Tennant is front and center, giving a performance for the ages, literally, in John Smith. There are many reasons this episode, along with the conclusion, The Family of Blood, is so well remembered: Its central plot device tees up the climax the Series 3, it showcases some brilliant guest performances in the villainous Family, and it might even explain why the Eighth Doctor said he was “half-human.” But it's the love story between Doctor's alternate identity and a human woman that the story lives or dies upon. Let's get at the heart of this thing… This time there's THREE of us! We welcome Steven Schapansky from Radio Free Skaro for this special episode.

John Smith lives a normal life in 1913, or so he thinks. The Family of Blood are after a Time Lord, but he's disappeared into thin air. Good thing they have a hot sense of smell. What did you think of the time The Doctor wasn't The Doctor? Is it one of the strongest two-parters in NuWho? Here goes nothing!

Put down your sardines and jam, and take up arms lads- Two Hearts has a brand spanking new episode for you! “Human Nature/The Family of Blood” is regarded as a stone-cold classic in most Who circles. But does it stand up to scrutiny nearly 14 years later? James and Callum dive into this thorny English tale of humans, Time Lords and scarecrows, and dissect its nationalistic themes, the ongoing treatment of Martha Jones, and ask - is this the definitive Tenth Doctor story?

With the appropriate theme of wartime, WhoSoc's tense discussions reach their peak while examining Tennant's Human Nature / The Family of Blood (2007) and Whittaker's Demons of the Punjab (2018).
1913: Hutchinson is spooked by Tim Latimer, John Smith falls for Joan Redfern, Martha experiences being a lower class punching bag, Mr Clark and Lucy are harassed by robotic scarecrow men, Head Master Rocastle is whipping the boys into shape for war, and this is a typical day in the life of an atypical Doctor. How will Colin, Shelby, Jase and Michael all feel about this two parter?
