Peoples of the universe, please attend carefully... Graeme has an announcement about the future of Reality Bomb.

On the one hundred and nineteenth episode of Reality Bomb, we talk with the Guardian's Martin Belam about how Doctor Who is doing in the current television landscape, and what we should look forward to, and worry about, in the coming years. And we look back on Is This Rumour Hot or Not? for the past season of Doctor Who and update what was really accurate... and what was wildly wrong with Lacy Baugher-Milas and KatyBeth Schmid. Plus feeling fan anxiety? Ask about Focus Zerg!

On the one hundredth and eigtheenth edition of Reality Bomb, we have our longest episode yet as we catch up on all the news we've missed while we were off (plus a few other things!) First, Graeme Burk talks with Lacy Baugher Milas of Den of Geek about Doctor Who's return to SDCC after five years away. We finish our review of the latest season, and look to the future, as Sage Young and Sanjay Lago discuss Rogue, The Legend of Ruby Sunday and Empire of Death. And we look to the past, or rather how the past is being re-presented through new blu-ray and streaming releases with Jon Arnold and Max Kaschevsky... which leads nicely into Gallery of the Underrated, where James Cooray Smith (of Graeme's favourite Doctor Who-themed newsletter, The Psychic Paper -- which you should really subscribe!) brings the recently CG animated missing story, The Celestial Toymaker. Plus Hot Take Roulette with KatyBeth Schmid... and Spoiler Cops concludes!

On the one hundred and seventeenth episode of Reality Bomb, we have a double shot of reviews from the latest season of Doctor Who. First, Graeme Burk talks to Sage Young and Lacy Baugher-Milas about Space Babies and The Devil's Chord. Then we talk to Joy Piedmont and Max Kaschevsky about Boom, 73 Yards and Dot and Bubble. We go under the surface -- way under the surface -- as Amanda-Rae Prescott relives Cold War in the Gallery of the Underrated. And Graeme reflects on the late William Russell. Plus Spoiler Cops continues!

On the one hundred and sixteenth episode of Reality Bomb, Graeme Burk interviews SFX editor Darren Scott about Doctor Who having a digital-first release at midnight on Saturday, having episodes 1 and 2 air before Eurovision, and how the launch of the new season one is going. With a new trailer there's new rumours and Lacy Baugher-Milas and KatyBeth Schmid are here to help us through them with a new edition of Is This Rumour Hot Or Not? And Joy Piedmont takes Doctor Who fan JP Into The Dalek in a new Gallery of the Underrated. Plus, Spoiler Cops continues, a song about the least likely person to come back to Doctor Who and the BBC America lady starts a new job at Disney+!

On the one hundred and fifteenth episode of Reality Bomb, Graeme Burk talks with Guardian writer Martin Belam about his controversial 2021 article about Doctor Who four years (and a massive series of changes in Doctor, showrunner, studio and co-production partner) later and then examines at the current state of Doctor Who in 2024 and what's ahead. Head Over Feels' co-founders Kim Rogers and Sage Young share a Reality Bomb segment for the first time in years to talk about this year's Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles and how the vibe there has changed with recent developments on the show. And we look to the future of communiting, and it doesn't look good, as Julie Chaston brings Gridlock to the Gallery of the Underrated. Plus we bring back a song from our archives, and Spoiler Cops continues!

On the one hundred and fourteenth episode of Reality Bomb, we're all about all the 2023 specials, all the time, as Graeme Burk talks to Kim Rogers and Max Kaschevsky about Ncuti Gatwa's full debut as the Doctor in the Christmas special The Church on Ruby Road. Sage Young and Sanjay Lago also stop by to discuss the three 60th anniversary specials starring David Tennant and Catherine Tate. And we look back on the past year of rumour-mongering in Doctor Who with Lacy Baugher-Milas and KatyBeth Schmid in a special edition of Is This Rumour Hot or Not? that fact checks the previous year's rumours! Plus we have the long-awaited return of Spoiler Cops!

On the one hundred and twelfth edition of Reality Bomb, we talk to classical musician Elizabeth Reid McQuillan about the new version of the Doctor Who theme and what makes the Doctor Who theme so popular. We chat with Graham Kibble-White, co-author of the new bookazine Adventures in Type and Space, about how the book came together, and how some of the greatest title sequences in Doctor Who's history came together, with exclusive clips of Graham's interviews with the legendary Bernard Lodge and Peter Govey. And we reconvene the Reality Bomb Book Club as Shannon Dohar and Martin Hajovsky discuss Russell T Davies' and Benjamin Cook's behind the scenes look at the making of series four, Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale. Plus: Graeme Burk examines the origins of the oooo-eee-oooos and the dumba-ba-dums that make up the Doctor Who theme to see how it connects with Murray Gold's latest version ... and we discover, the hard way, that there are some things in the world of Doctor Who that are more ridiculous than any comedy sketch we can make.
