Happy New Year!

With Tom Baker receiving his MBE in 2025, and rumours abounding that Peter Capaldi has turned down an invite from the Palace, it's high time we had a look at who has been honoured by the Queen (and now King) and has also passed through the Whonioverse. As ever there are surprises, patterns and coincidences, as well as, of course, differences of opinion. You would honour this podcast by having a listen.

This was written and recorded before the New Year's Honours of 2026 were announced but a pre-titles addition has taken this into account.
