Hello, dear listener, and welcome to this week's podKast in which we cover some of the latest #DoctorWho Series 8 news and ask the question: if Doctor Who changed drastically (such as casting a woman Doctor or canning the #TARDIS), would you quit fandom?

It's an interesting question, prompted by the actions of a fellow writer recently.

As ever, we're looking forward to hearing back from you on this topic and everything else we cover this week, so feel free to comment below, tweet us or email.

Sadly there is no Brian Terranova this week, who was sadly caught out with some time travelling freedom fighting on Peladon. Fortunately, Christian Cawley and James McLean are on hand to take your hand and guide you through some exciting, pre-new series news items.

Just to remind you: Doctor Who is on air next month.

Yes, I thought you would like that :) Here's something else you might like - press play to begin!
