Yeah, there was an episode in Matt Smith's first season where he was hopping around non-linearly, but I don't think he actually interacted with himself at any point.
There's also Matt Smith's doctor and a goo-clone interacting at one point. That one was fun.
I never think of that two-parter as being very good, but I periodically remember that it is actually very good.
Yeah. I know the feeling. Some of the larger story beats of the clone goo doctor arc are pretty predictable, and maybe didn't demand a full two part episode. But some of the individual moments are brilliant.
On a sidenote, "The rebel flesh"/" The almost people" were directed by Julian Simpson who has been developing a swathe of weird and very good audio dramas with the BBC over the past decade or so.
The tone of this interconnected "Pleasant Green universe" is very early-oughts Warren Ellis/Grant Morrison, with some fairly mind-boggling concepts that might appeal to Who fans.
For an easy gateway, look up "The Lovecraft investigations" in your podcast player 🙂
