Emma Foster, Ro Karen and Jonathan Wilkinson join me as we excavate the time of the 13th Doctor. We talk through where we feel Jodie Whittaker was let down, why Thasmin mattered to the fans, and when we thought the last four years of the show did work.

We recorded this as the sad passing of former Doctor Who writer, Chris Boucher was announced.

After a few minutes talking about more BBC nonsense, Jonathan Wilkinson and Ro Karen join me to talk on the confirmed casting for Doctor Who's 60th anniversary. We also look at Russell T Davies making moves to enthuse the fanbase after a period of somnambulance.

P.S. To our frustration, the casting of Neil Patrick Harris was announced two days after we recorded this.

Emma Foster and Jonathan Wilkinson join me to discuss the casting of Ncuti Gatwa as the next Doctor. We unpack how he may play the character, why this could signal a sea-change for the direction of Doctor Who, and the worries we have for the media gauntlet he'll be forced to run.

We also start with the news of David Tennant and Catherine Tate's return for the 60th anniversary. However, this was recorded a day before the news of Yasmin Finney's casting. We'll be covering all of that in our next pod in a few weeks time.

I'm joined my Emma Foster, Ro Karen & Rick Tetrault to go through Legend of the Sea-Devils. This turned into a general sideswipe of the Chris Chibnall-era, as well as our thoughts on "Thasmin" and the overall (lack of) direction of the show. If that's too negative for you, your spirits will be raised by the arrival of Emma's baby daughter in the final few minutes of the podcast.

Jonathan Wilkinson and Mary Freer join me to discuss recent announcements from the UK government that could put the future of the BBC under serious threat. We talk about how this relates to recent political scandals, and if Doctor Who can survive without the BBC.

Mary Freer and Emma Foster join me to discuss Eve of the Daleks, arguably the best holiday episode in recent years. We touch on the place of mundanity in genre fiction, and how much romance there should be in Doctor Who.

We take a macro look at Doctor Who: Flux, as Jenn Allen, Jonathan Wilkinson, Emma Foster and Rick Tetrault all join me to discuss the Doctor's latest adventures, what worked, largely what didn't, and where the show goes from here.
