Following on from last week's return to Not the TV Guide (TV Review Podcast) episode 2, again featuring Andy N, Grant and Beth carries on examies the rumoured growing list of studios, showrunners and industry figures rumoured to be circling the property of Doctor Who and asks the bigger question: who is actually positioned to take charge of the Whoniverse next.

The trio also explore the creative, financial and political pressures shaping the tender process, and turn a sharper lens on the real reasons behind the show’s cancellation, separating industry fact from fan‑forum fiction.

It’s a lively, incisive follow‑on episode: part speculation, part analysis, part affectionate frustration — and a clear-eyed look at how one of TV’s most enduring franchises found itself at a crossroads.
