Running Down Corridors

In this episode, we'll be discussing the recent Doctor Who Disney+ deal and what it means for fans of the long-running British science-fiction series.

After months of speculation, it was announced that Disney+ had acquired the global streaming rights to Doctor Who for several key territories, including the United States, Canada, and Australia.

This news was met with excitement from international fans, who had been eagerly waiting for the show to become more widely available.

However, the deal has also raised questions about the future of the show and whether it will continue to be produced by the BBC. Some fans are concerned that the move to a streaming platform owned by a US company could signal a move away from the show's British roots.

We'll be analysing the portrayal of the story's villain, the Master, and examining how his character evolved throughout the series.

Throughout the discussion, we'll be sharing our personal opinions on the story, discussing what we liked and didn't like, and highlighting our favourite moments. We'll also be discussing the episode's impact on the wider Doctor Who universe, including its connections to previous stories and its legacy in the show's history.
