“I want people to understand South Asian art as broader than a single gallery or a single artist, but as a larger cultural movement. I want people to encounter art in all parts of their lives, and I'm constantly thinking about new ways to achieve that. I was very aware, as someone launching a South Asia-focused gallery, that this was the cultural dynamic that undergirded the way that most people in the West were thinking about art from the region. Taking that on directly and inviting artists to work with that theme was a really important ground for setting the ethos of the gallery and the types of critical questions we wanted to tackle with the work we were doing.”My guest today is Rajiv Menon, a gallerist and curator who is carving out a distinctive space in the contemporary art world. Based in Los Angeles, Rajiv Menon holds a PhD from NYU, where he studied global media and visual culture, and he's also a passionate collector of South Asian art. He founded Rajiv Menon Contemporary with a clear mission: to bring artists from South Asia and its diaspora to a wider audience, and to cultivate a new generation of art collectors within these communities. His exhibitions have tackled fascinating themes, from the exuberant and sometimes overwhelming world of the Indian wedding through Viraj Khanna's intricate textile art in Why Did I Say Yes?, to a deep dive into the creativity of Kerala in Three Steps of Land, and a compelling look at how artists transform nostalgia into an aesthetic movement in The Past Is a Country. His work resonates far beyond the gallery walls, aiming to shift our collective culture. He's also recently been honored by the City of Los Angeles for his contributions to the arts. @rajivmenoncontemporaryEpisode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

"If you look at primordial deities, they are serpents, eggs, the sun and the moon - early humans associated divinity with these things that they could see. So, serpent worship existed everywhere across the world. In India, you see a common pattern whether it's in the south, or in Uttarakhand and Kashmir and even further north in Tibet - there are elements and iconography that's similar. Scholars believe serpent worship was the original form of worship, that it was pre-Dravidian, and that the Nagas themselves were pre Aryan and pre Dravidian people. We can only speculate. Perhaps what it tells us is that gods fade but whatever culture is preserved will remain. As with all kinds of belief and faith, there's no way to "prove" anything, and it's easy to disprove" -- K Hari Kumar, author, Naaga; Discovering the Extraordinary World of Serpent Worship talks to Manjula Narayan about ophiolatry in general, Naaga iconography in Indic religions, the figure of the naagin, stories of Ulupi and Iravan in myth and folk belief, the sacred serpent groves of Tulunad and Kerala, vyalimukhams across the country, and the challenges that emerge while documenting folklore.

In this special episode, filmmaker and contemporary artist Alia Syed joins EMPIRE LINES live, to weave together their works in moving image, photography, and oral history, and reflect on personal experiences of migration in South Asian diasporic communities in 1960s–1970s Glasgow, through their ongoing film series, The Dhaba (2025).Drawing inspiration from the tale of St. Mungo - the patron saint and founder of Glasgow - Alia Syed's exhibition, The Ring in the Fish, is an intimate exploration of memory, cultural transmission, and identity in Scotland. In The Dhaba (2025), Alia gleans stories from a series of interviews she initiated with members of the South Asian community, exposing absences in official narratives and archives, and illuminating histories in the spaces between national identities, race, gender, and diaspora. With this new, experimental, 16mm film work, Alia explores the role of imagination in migration, and how images carried across multiple generations of migrants from India and Pakistan can create new landscapes and enable new ways of being.Alia details her relationships with ‘the second city of Empire', Swansea in Wales, and London, including her long-term creative relationship with Gilane Tawadros, her formative work, Fatima's Letter (1992), filmed at Whitechapel Underground Station, and shortlisting for the Film London Jarman Award (2018). From her current work with curator Shalmali Shetty, we discuss her many intergenerational collaborations, and relations to artist women including Jasleen Kaur, who shares Alia's experiences of ‘monocultures' in Glasgow. Alia shares the importance of audio, literature, language, and translation, in her work with film and moving image.Plus, we consider political solidarity through her life and practice, from her father's activism and connections to Yasser Arafat, to the present. Alia reflects on the CCA Glasgow as an institution – one that she recalls having occupied as a teenager, when it was known as the Third Eye Centre - including the Board's ambiguous statements around endorsing PACBI (The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel) and BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions), and response to Art Workers for Palestine Scotland's programme to Reclaim the CCA in June 2025.This episode was recorded live as part of the public programme for Alia Syed: The Ring in the Fish, an exhibition at CCA Glasgow, in June 2025. The exhibition was originally scheduled to continue until 26 July 2025.

This MBM conversation is with Nausheen Khan, an independent film-maker based in India, whose documentary Land of My Dreams is a retracing of her journey as an Indian Muslim woman as she covered the Shaheen Bagh protests in 2019-2020.In this conversation, Nausheen shares her introspection around her identity growing up, the effect of stereotypes on her, and reclaiming her Muslimness in more ways than one. We discuss the myriad forms in which being a woman in the present times challenges us to show up with more clarity and confidence in every space we choose to be in.We also discuss the impact of friendships and the need for bonds that allow one to express the vulnerabilities one lives with, as a woman, an artist, a Muslim, among others. For Nausheen, living with joy is the biggest act of resilience and this conversation is a snippet of that.About Nausheen Khan Nausheen Khan is an independent filmmaker based in India, working on gender perspectives amid conflict and political unrest in contemporary times.

Dans le supplément de ce samedi, Grand reportage nous emmène en Chine qui est à la fois dépendante du charbon et qui se lance aussi le défi de la neutralité carbone avec les énergies renouvelables. En deuxième partie, direction l'Inde, au Kerala, où l'archipel Munroe Island est englouti par les eaux. (Rediffusion) Énergie verte et dépendance au charbon : le paradoxe chinois La Chine en plein paradoxe. La Chine reste extrêmement dépendante du charbon… et à la fois elle tente de relever par tous les moyens le défi des énergies renouvelables. Gros enjeux : cela lui permettrait de dominer le marché mondial du solaire ou de l'éolien. Deux fers au feu : puisqu'elle s'est engagée à atteindre un pic d'émissions de dioxyde de carbone d'ici la fin de la décennie et à les éliminer d'ici 2060. À l'heure de la Conférence internationale sur le Climat de Bakou, essentielle pour l'avenir, la Chine a adopté vendredi dernier (8 novembre 2024) une nouvelle loi sur l'énergie dans l'optique de «promouvoir la neutralité carbone». Notre envoyée spéciale permanente à Pékin nous emmène à la rencontre d'une Chine volontaire, face à ses vieux démons… Un Grand reportage de Clea Broadhurst, (avec la collaboration de Chi Xiangyuan) qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.   Kerala : le «pays des dieux» englouti par les eaux En Inde, le Kerala est appelé le «pays de Dieu lui-même» pour ses sublimes paysages aquatiques tropicaux.

This episode is not just about Kerala; it is about how a state with limited land, strict environmental regulations, and a long history of outmigration is approaching investment and growth.Kerala is a small, densely populated state with limited land to spare, not the typical site for industrial expansion. Yet it's taking a distinct approach to building a knowledge based economy.P. Rajeev (Minister for Industries, Law and Coir, Govt of Kerala) joins us to break this down.We discuss how Kerala rose from the bottom to become the top-ranked state in Ease of Doing Business, what's behind the ₹1.5 lakh crore in investment pledges, and why the state is prioritizing high-value industries over land and labour-intensive manufacturing. We also unpack how Kerala plans to convert MOUs into functioning factories and real jobs, and why startups that once moved away are now beginning to stay. Tune in if you're curious about how Indian states are attracting investment and rethinking their development models.0:00 – Trailer1:18 – Is Kerala Still Fighting Old Perceptions?5:59 – Kerala to Focus on Value-Added Manufacturing7:45 – How to Start an IT Firm in Kerala & Where It Missed the Tech Bus10:35 – What's Blocking Startups from Scaling in the State?11:15 – Can Kerala Retain Its Best Talent?14:20 – Kerala's Vision for a Free-Thinking Knowledge Economy16:36 – Repositioning as an Investor-Friendly Destination19:22 – What the “Nature, People, Industry” Motto Really Means22:22 – Will Kerala Deliver on Its Investor Summit Promises?23:42 – Why Vizhinjam Could Be a Game-Changer26:00 – How Indian States Are Competing for Investments28:47 – Is Stagnation in Productive Sectors Slowing Development?32:38 – Is Kerala's Geography a Barrier to Growth?33:24 – Are Its Environmental Rules Too Rigid for Industry?34:22 – Is Communism Holding Kerala Back?37:48 – When the Communist Govt funded a Private Co.41:17 – The Real Kerala Story43:28 – The History Behind Kerala's Education Revolution45:14 – What the Kerala Model Must Fix48:06 – Internet as a Basic Citizen Right48:56 – Kerala's Health Workers on the Global Frontlines51:19 – Can Outsiders Easily Buy Land in Kerala?53:01 – The State's Only Unicorn Company54:21 – Can Startups from Kerala Go Public?-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Nipah virus is not new to Kerala: the State is experiencing it's eighth outbreak since 2018 this July. So far, there have been four confirmed cases: of these, two persons have died, while the other two remain hospitalised. A total of 675 people across the State are currently under observation, with 38 classified as being in the highest risk category.One question that many have wondered about is: why Kerala? Why is it that this one State has seen multiple outbreaks of the deadly virus? What do we know about how it spills over from fruit bats to humans? And what can be done to contain it? Guest: Dr. Anoop Kumar A.S., director of critical care medicine at Aster North Kerala Cluster, who played a pivotal role in detecting the Nipah virus outbreak in the State in 2018 Host: Zubeda Hamid Edited by Sharmada Venkatasubramanian Learn more about your ad choices.

(23:13)Hosted by Ichha SharmaProduced and written by Shashank Bhargava and Ichha SharmaEdited and mixed Suresh Pawar

Nimisha Priya, a nurse from Kerala, was scheduled to be executed in Yemen today on July 16, as per reports, but the execution has now been postponed after multiple levels of talks and negotiations got underway. Nimisha Priya has been on death row in Yemen since 2018 for the murder of her former business partner, a Yemeni citizen Talal Abdo Mehdi . Efforts to have her released have included raising funds for ‘blood money' or money that is paid to the victim's family as compensation. The case has presented complications because of the internal breakdown in Yemen, Yemeni capital Sanaa is controlled by Ansar Ullah (Houthi) while the Internationally Recognised Government of Yemen operates out of Aden. We do a deep dive into the case of Nimisha Priya, the rights of Indian citizens who get enmeshed in criminal judicial systems in other countries, India's obligations to these citizens and the death penalty laws in India with Shreya Rastogi, Director of Death Penalty Litigation and Forensics, The Square Circle Clinic, NALSAR University of Law, Delhi Host: Zubeda Hamid Guest: Shreya Rastogi Learn more about your ad choices.

Marco Bonfanti"Appunti contadini"Edizioni Clichywww.edizioniclichy.it«Non posso più muovermi di qua. Come vi diceva, non c'ho macchina e c'ho pure il bastone. Eppure ogni jorno vedo il mare dal mio balcone e mi sembra di viaggiare. È qui davanti a me, a pochi metri di lontananza. Ogni mattina lo guardo per una o due ore, da solo, nel silenzio. Quando era giovane volevo scappare di qua, ma mo' non cambierei mai questo posto per un altro. Ve lo giuro…»Gli ultimi cento anni della storia d'Italia raccontati dallo sguardo e nelle parole di un contadino calabrese.«Mi chiamo Michele Naccari e sono nato di Tropea tantissimi anni fa, che manco mi ricordo più quanti. E la mia vita non è stata tranquilla come voi adesso. Allora era tutto differente. Adesso voi girate, facete e guadagnate qualcosa. Io ho dovuto sudarla la vita mia».A raccontare in prima persona questa «vita sua», lunga e sfiancante fin da quando era un ninno, è un contadino calabrese, semi-analfabeta, ormai vecchio, senza quasi più forze ma con ancora un'indomabile voglia di lottare, di aggrapparsi agli ultimi istanti di un'esistenza trascorsa tra fame e povertà, spinto dalla forza di volontà, «perché io la testa non l'abbasso davanti a nessuno». Nelle sue parole sgangherate, al tempo stesso così incomprensibili e chiare, nella sua lingua imprevedibile eppure vitale, tutto si fa ricordo, nostalgia. Nel suo eloquio sghembo scorre davanti a noi un secolo di storia d'Italia, con le sue grandezze e le sue miserie, le sue speranze e le sue sconfitte: gli albori del Novecento, il fascismo, la guerra, l'emigrazione, la ricerca di un lavoro che non c'è, il mondo che cambia sotto gli occhi, la vita e le persone che cambiano con lui, fino ai giorni nostri, una nuova epoca tanto difficile da capire quanto impossibile da fermare.Una storia narrata dalla parte degli ultimi, dei dimenticati, degli sconfitti, che dipinge chi siamo e chi siamo stati, che ci ricorda la nostra fragile e ostinata umanità. Un secolo di storia italiana raccontato attraverso gli occhi, le memorie e le parole sbilenche di chi l'ha attraversata restandone di lato, là dove spesso la storia non guarda, un vecchio contadino che ha mescolato la sua esistenza con la terra e che si racconta tutto d'un fiato, come d'un fiato scorrono le vite con la loro inarrestabile, travolgente potenza.Marco Bonfanti nasce a Milano nell'agosto del 1980. Dopo aver realizzato due pluripremiati cortometraggi, Le Parole di Stockhausen nel 2008 e Ordalìa (dentro di me) nel 2009, il 1° ottobre del 2011 porta un gregge di oltre settecento pecore in piazza del Duomo a Milano: la notizia fa il giro del mondo e viene ripresa dai principali media. Si tratta di una scena del suo lungometraggio d'esordio, L'Ultimo Pastore, un film che diventa rapidamente un caso nazionale e internazionale, invitato in oltre centoventi festival nel mondo, fra cui il Sundance (Slamdance), Tokyo, Torino, Dubai, Kerala, Transilvania, Bangkok, Sidney e Seattle, e vincitore di numerosi premi. Nel 2014 realizza Tubiolo e la Luna, episodio del film collettivo 9×10 Novanta, presentato alla 71esima Mostra d'Arte Cinematografica di Venezia, che si aggiudica un Nastro D'Argento speciale. Nel 2016 dirige Bozzetto non troppo, documentario sul celebre animatore Bruno Bozzetto, in concorso alla 73esima Mostra d'Arte Cinematografica di Venezia nella sezione Venice Classics, invitato all'Annecy Animation International Film Festival e in cinquina ai Nastri D'Argento come miglior film documentario. Nel 2019 realizza il lungometraggio L'Uomo senza Gravità, interpretato – fra gli altri – da Elio Germano, Michela Cescon ed Elena Cotta. Il film è invitato alla Festa del Cinema di Roma e allo Shanghai International Film Festival, ed è scelto da Netflix come Film Original.

In this heartfelt Malayalam podcast episode from Kerala, I share a very personal moment — receiving a handwritten letter from my friend for the first time. In a world dominated by WhatsApp, DMs, and instant texts, this simple envelope stirred something deep and nostalgic in me.There was no notification sound, no blue ticks — just pure emotion wrapped in ink and paper. We talk about how the lost art of letter writing once connected hearts, created lifelong memories, and offered a kind of emotional depth that's rare in the digital age.I invite you, dear listener, to take a break from screens and write a letter to your best friend — just like the old days. You might be surprised at the magic it brings. ✨✉️

Abhay chats with Pramod Varma, the visionary technologist who helped architect India's digital transformation, enabling over a billion people to access digital identity, banking, payments, and verifiable credentials, fundamentally reshaping India's social and economic landscape.  (0:00 - 3:41) Introduction(3:41) Part 1 - Describing what he does, transforming India into the transaction economy(20:34) Part 2 - Verbs not nouns, connecting tech to everyone, lessons in equity, personal learning(42:28) Part 3 - leading for magnitude and scale, art and aesthetics, prioritizing equity(1:00:59) ConclusionPramod is currently the Co-Founder and Chief Architect of FIDE.org leading global efforts such as BECKN Protocol and FINTERNET.He has been the chief architect of most of India's Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) efforts starting with Aadhaar - India's unique ID system that covers 1.4 Billion people; eSign - an interoperable digital signature protocol; DigiLocker - digital credentialing and wallet system having over 9 billion verifiable credentials and over 400 million users; and UPI - the unified instant payment system that was launched in 2016 currently doing over 18 Billion transactions a month.He also played a key role in designing and architecting India's indirect tax (GST) system, national toll collection system, digital health infrastructure, digital agri infrastructure, and digital education infrastructure.Intro:The world needs more heroes, so let me thank you first for your heroism in an effort to engage here and choose TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'm DOING as a part of your day and even a small part of your life.  I appreciate you watching and subscribing on YouTube, listening on all of the podcast platforms, rating and writing reviews, following on those good old social media places, and sharing this with all your friends and family. Now if I really think about heroic feats in this digital age we live in, I can't think of a better person who effectively embodies it than Pramod Varma.  Pramod is a computer scientist and for over the past decade and a half, he has been the driving designer of tech inclusion, equity, and connectivity to India's entire population.  He is the chief architect behind many of India's digital public infrastructure initiatives like Aadhar - the digital identity system covering 1.4 billion people that enabled banking access from almost nothing to above 80% in just a decade, and similarly e-sign, account aggregator for open finance, and of course the UPI or Unified Payments Interface that is now processing over 18 billion transactions in India every month.  Staggering is a word that comes to my mind, but still doesn't do justice to the scale and scope of work that Pramod has designed and is continuing to lead.  He grew up in a small town in Kerala, earned his PhD in computer science and a masters in applied mathematics. Pramod is highly driven by curiosity and equipped with an insatiable thirst for broadly understanding humanity through art and knowledge.  After journeying successfully through the early days of the internet in a variety of entrepreneurial  and tech leadership roles,  Pramod made a deep pivot in 2009 to volunteer on a national digital identity project, and the rest is as they say history.  And for those keeping score at home, Pramod's initial success in harnessing a team to do this at scale and at the cost of about 70 rupees per person, was all open sourced and unbundled, so that you could build iterative and supplemental layers on this important foundation for years to come.  He is currently the co-founder and chief architect of “Networks for Humanity” creating universal technology infrastructure for the AI driven digital economy and for the tokenization and exchange of all forms of assets across geographies and sectors. A few of the visions that he has co-created are the Finternet, an initiative to build infrastructure that empowers individuals and businesses to unify, verify, and transact their assets seamlessly, enabling billions of people to actively participate in the global digital economy, and also the Beckn Protocol, a vision for peer-to-peer, agentic native, open networks that enable exchange across the global value chains.  As you can guess, while most are playing checkers, I feel like Pramod is playing 4-dimensional chess… while keeping a grounded lens on disciplined equity, education, and inclusion.  We caught up to chat about it all, but with so many descriptors of his work and accomplishments, especially for people who are getting to know him, I wanted to first simply hear how Pramod tends to describe himself.Cheers to INDIASPORA for the spark!

Hi everyone! Today we are discussing one of the heated moments of 2025... Though I suppose it seems we've had a lot of those this year. Covid, 9/11, the beginning of escalation between Israel and Palestine - Mars and Ketu were conjunct in every incident. Mars and Ketu are notorious for stirring controversy and bringing about dangerous accidents or attacks. From mountaineering accidents to sting ray tragedies - we see this combination again and again act as a catalyst. How can WE best move through this time with grace?In addition to Mars/Ketu, we will see Saturn and Neptune conjunct in the same degree. We have already seen a terrible oil spill off the coast of Kerala, let's hope that there is nothing else like this! We further discuss transits and what to anticipate.

    from tardi wiki   was the eighth and final episode of Series 15 of Doctor Who. It premiered on 31 May 2025. The story featured the return of Omega in an active role as an antagonist for the first time since the Fifth Doctor story Arc of Infinity [+], now voiced by Nicholas Briggs, with this story revealing Omega's time spent trapped in the Under-Universe had physically altered and deformed him into a monstrous corpse like being. The story also shows the apparent fate of the bi-generated Rani at Omega's hands, while the Mrs Flood incarnation of the Rani escapes shortly after witnessing her successor's apparent demise. The Rani reveals how she survived the Spy Master's genocide of Gallifrey, and that the genetic explosion caused by the Spy Master had rendered any surviving Time Lords and Time Ladies completely sterile, which was why she enacted her plan to find Omega in order to save their race, though with the purpose of creating a new Gallifrey she could rule over. In addition, her ability to follow the Doctor throughout time and space is revealed to be accomplished by use of a Time Ring rather than a TARDIS. Steph de Whalley also returns as Anita Benn, where it's revealed she began working in the Time Hotel after Joy to the World [+] and had been looking for the Fifteenth Doctor, in doing so archive footage from The Wedding of River Song [+] and Day of the Daleks [+] respectfully would be used to have Anita see the Eleventh and Third Doctors when visiting the events of those stories, before archive footage of Rogue [+] is used when Anita finds an early version of the Fifteenth Doctor during the events of that story. Before departing, Anita would mention "the Boss" who was previously mentioned by Beep the Meep in The Star Beast [+]. In addition to the Doctor's previous incarnations appearing through archive footage, Jodie Whittaker makes a surprise appearance as the Thirteenth Doctor near the end of this story, marking her first appearance since The Power of the Doctor [+]. Most notably, this story was the final chronological appearance of Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor, with the story ending with his regeneration, caused by him sacrificing his current incarnation in order to bring Poppy back into existence, the Doctor's regeneration in this story was also the first time since The Parting of the Ways [+] in 2005 that the Doctor had regenerated at the end of the current series; in the revived run of the series, starting from The End of Time [+] up to The Giggle [+], the Doctor would be seen regenerating in either Christmas or New Year's specials set in between numbered series. In a twist however, The Reality War and the Fifteenth Doctor's regeneration would end with Billie Piper, having previously portrayed Ninth and Tenth Doctor companion Rose Tyler, being introduced in the final moments of the story, and with her role being left uncredited.

Worldbuilding Omega and the Rani The Doctor reveals that Omega is viewed as the Original Sin of the Time Lords who has discovered time travel. He was cast out from Gallifrey because he was insane. Omega has two hearts like all Time Lords. The Underverse is a world of legends, causing Omega to change into the Mad God Titan and become his own legend. After his escape, Omega wanted to become the God of Time and feast upon Time Lords. He also immediately recognises the Doctor. The Rani has her own Time Ring and Sonic Screwdriver. The Mrs. Flood Rani later escapes with the Time Ring. UNIT Susan Triad has build her own Zero Room at UNIT floor minus 10 to use as an escape pod. UNIT can also fight using Parallax Cannons. There are a few glitches in the new world: the border between Norway and Sweden has moved seven miles east. The colour teal is more blue and actor Ernest Borgnine is still alive. Belinda and her family Belinda mentions she has an uncle named Roo living in Kerala. Her mother's name is Lakshmi. She plays a concert in Manchester. Belinda wanted to see the planet Neptune and the Big Bang before departing from the Doctor. Belinda makes the Doctor an uncle to Poppy. She reveals she met Poppy's real father when she was 21 and is named Ritchie Akingbola, though they are separated. Ruby and her family Ruby mentions that during their time together, Conrad never revealed who his father is. Cherry reveals that she likes to play poker and that Joseph is the name of her late husband. The Doctor and the TARDIS The Fifteenth Doctor mentions he can turn the TARDIS into anything. The Doctor has never been to Kerala. He also reveals that in the year 60,000, there is a planet called New New Delhi. The Fifteenth Doctor can punch regeneration energy from his hands into the Time Vortex to alter reality. However this causes him to regenerate. He can still stall the regeneration itself for a short time. The Thirteenth Doctor is unaware of what bi-generation is. The Thirteenth Doctor mentions the TARDIS having "a third strand of phenotype markers that can turn a micro-spasm". Both Doctors hope that they will always wish they had more time before regenerating. The TARDIS remembers the Fugitive Doctor, revealing her on the TARDIS console screen between the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctors. The Fifteenth Doctor is surprised to see the Thirteenth, joking that "normally the other guy shows up". References The Doctor gives The Upside Down from Stranger Things and Narnia as examples about the world hidden below, or "the Underverse". Notes Jodie Whittaker revealed that one of her regrets from her tenure was that she didn't get to interact with Peter Capaldi or David Tennant during the regeneration handovers, as their scenes were filmed separately. So getting to interact with Ncuti Gatwa during his own regeneration handover was special and a highlight of coming back for her cameo. A promotional image of the Doctor and Belinda dancing with a "Happy May Day" banner in the background was released for the episode, but no such scene exists in the final episode. Jodie Whittaker wore a wig for her cameo, as she had long brown hair at the time. Russell T Davies revealed that Jodie Whittaker's codename onset was "Petrol", because he might use it as a companion name in the future. This two-parter formed Block Five of Series 15.
