INT. STUDY – EVENING

Joanna is holding a *Doctor Who* Blu-ray case.  
The menu screen flickers on the television.  
Onscreen: Gyles, mid-thought, in a Union Jack jumper, sitting in a garden.

                         JOANNA
           Why are you in this?

                         GYLES  
           Oh, I recommended Nicholas for two different plays.  
           One as a British soldier. One as a German.  
           Range, you see.

                         JOANNA  
           And the jumper?

                         GYLES  
           Patriotic knitwear never goes out of style.

[She looks back at the screen.]

                         JOANNA  
           You’re in the bonus features.

                         GYLES  
           Legacy media.

[He leans back.]

                         GYLES (CONT’D)  
           What episodes are on the set?

                         JOANNA  
           *Spearhead from Space, Doctor Who and the Silurians, Ambassadors...*

                         GYLES  
           *Silurians*!  
           That’s the one with the spooky electronic music—  
           that strange, looping pulse.

                         JOANNA  
           The theme?

                         GYLES  
           Yes! It sounds just like the theme from *Cooking with Pogo*.  
           That’s Matty’s podcast.

                         JOANNA  
           Matty who reposted the bean clip.

                         GYLES  
           Repeatedly.

[He smiles, a little too pleased.]

                         GYLES (CONT’D)  
           I appear to be having a bit of a cultural moment.

                         JOANNA  
           Delightful.

FADE OUT.
