It’s a real grab bag of news this week with Peter Davison critiquing the current series of Doctor Who, Peter Capaldi being cool as hell at Glastonbury, and a truly mammoth editorial by Chris about the Blu-ray for The War Games in Colour and the cost thereof given that it is only one disc. Somehow we get an hour out of this, and we also have an extensive interview with long-time friends and Televisual Specialists John Williams and Neil Perryman about their new podcast where they watch every television show ever made – World of Telly!

There’s new stirrings in the world of Doctor Who production, one being an official BBC search for new producers of an new animated Doctor Who series for Time Tots on CBeebies, and a much more tenuous rumour about discontent between Russell T Davies, a potential streaming suitor, and a push for a grittier, aged-up series. Join the Three Who Rule who cogitate on the possibilities of Doctor Who’s future, along with Big Finish news, the improbable return of 80s laff-fest Spaceballs, and Part One of our Classic Series Commentary for The Visitation!
