The last episode of season two has aired and been reviewed, which means it's time for the wrap-up episode! Kat, Liz, and Tansy have gathered to give their opinion on Ncuti's time as the Doctor, the wonderful companion Belinda Chandra, and create their wishlists for the future of Doctor Who.

As for the future of Verity! the podcast is taking a break for now, but we'll let you know what's next as soon as we know.

Lynne and Erika couldn't make the episode, but they've given their Doctor Who future wishlists:

Erika's Wishlist: 1. I want MORE WRITERS! My favourite eps have been the non-RTD eps, and I would like more of those (preferably from a very diverse set of writers).

2. I want new blood at the helm -- someone who grew up on the modern series not the classic series. And for the love of Susan, not a white dude, please.

3. Speaking of Susan, I'd like Carole Ann Ford to get an actual, proper appearance that genuinely works and isn't weird nonsense. (Yes, I'm referring to both her onscreen appearances and the rumours of what was supposed to happen before the rewrites. I think it's all nonsense.)

Lynne's Wishlist: 1. I wish that the BBC would openly recognize Doctor Who as a unique and wonderful thing that only the BBC could have created and be proud of it instead of treating it more often than not as something they grudgingly tolerate.

2. I wish for a sufficient number of well-crafted episodes to directly match up with the time and money that are available to create them.

3. I wish for more bold and inclusive storytelling. This season felt like Doctor Who was starting to find its groove again, and I would hate to lose that momentum.

4. BRING BACK RIVER SONG!

The tricky thing about reviewing two-parters is trying to give an opinion when you haven't seen both halves. Well, these Verities have now seen both parts, and they have opinions.

Join Erika, Liz, and Lynne as they talk regenerations, new-to-us history, and all those plot twists.

From 19th-century Bavaria, with ducks and an owl, to a 1950s world complete with slips and a thriving mug industry - doubt is what it's all about.

So, join Erika, Kat, and Liz as we dissect the doubts and talk through the events of "Wish World." We've wished for resolved cliffhangers in the final episode, have you?

If you're new to Doctor Who or just not a big fan of the classic series, here are some of the Omega-related monsters we mentioned:

• The Gell Guards invade Unit HQ in the Three Doctors
• The Ergon (or "an" Ergon according to the Fifth Doctor)

Eurovision meets Die Hard, in SPACE? As though that's not enough to discuss, many fans (and Verities) have finally had their theories validated.

Join Tansy, Kat, and Lynne as they talk about their experiences with Eurovision, break down the Interstellar Song Contest, and then spend some quality time examining the two big, exciting twists in the episode.

What did you think of The Interstellar Song Contest? Had you watched Eurovision before this, or did Doctor Who introduce you to this annual extravaganza?

• The Catherynne Valente novels Lynne talked about: Space Opera & Space Oddity

From market stalls to barbershops, the fifth episode of the second season, "The Story and the Engine," showcases Nigeria, places that bring people together, and storytelling.

This story also brought Erika, Kat, and Lynne together to discuss it, and let's be honest, there's a lot of joy in the story and the podcast, too.

What were your thoughts about "The Story & and the Engine?" Were you as enthusiastic about it like us or did you see it differently?

• Doctor Who: Unleashed is mentioned throughout the episode.

We have the full gamut of opinions, or perhaps a well-structured focus group, on this episode of Verity! Lynne, Kat, and Tansy discuss the episode Lucky Day, including its plot points and plot holes. 

Of course, many questions are still left unanswered, but that makes it even more fun to talk about them.

What did you think about Lucky Day? And was this a Ruby Sunday episode or a UNIT episode?

Sometimes the creepiest monsters in Doctor Who are the ones you never see...

In this episode, Liz, Kat, and Lynne review the new Doctor Who episode "The Well." We discuss how our preferences for companions are changing, how alphabets work, and just talk about how much we're liking Doctor Who right now.

What did you think about "The Well?" Did you think it was the scariest thing that RTD has ever written? Are you a fan of "Midnight?"

It's time to don your best and head to the cinema (or picture house) to catch a film. I hear they have the new Mr. Ring-a-Ding cartoon...

Join Kat and Lynne as they review the new Doctor Who episode "Lux" get side tracked into talking about 1930s cartoons they watched as kids, a preference for film over digital and much more.
