Christian Cawley and James McLean discuss The War Between the Land and the Sea, the Doctor Who spin-off serial that aired over Christmas 2025.

Our 499th podcast has a lot to cover. The five episodes are addressed as a whole, along with the ramifications beyond the series (Disney, RTD, Doctor Who itself) and what went wrong.

But remember: you only get the full length show on Patreon, where it is also early, ad-free, and often with video.

For more in-depth thoughts from Christian, please check the Kasterborous Substack, where a full review has been published.

Most episodes of our podcast go out on Patreon first. You can hear the show there several days earlier, often with video, and usually with additional material.
