Stand by for Season 2!

Step carefully across the gantry, mind the temporal updraft, and welcome aboard Sophie Aldred’s Ace Odyssey — an interstellar voyage through memory, imagination and the ever-expanding universe of Doctor Who (and far beyond). Our setting is the venerable Nosferatu 2.5: a ship of distinguished age and debatable reliability, helmed by Sophie herself. At her side stands Hobbes — the gleaming automaton butler, procedural absolutist and tireless enforcer of standards — whose interpretation of “hospitality” occasionally includes decontamination. Somewhere in the circuitry hums the Ffantaface, a device of improbable identity reassignment and narrative necessity. Lurking (or organising, depending on the hour) is Mrs C, Sophie's east end goldfish and guardian of the Ffantaface, whose patience with malfunctioning robots and temporal anomalies is admirable, if not infinite. And behind a door we absolutely cannot open… something continues to knock. Each week, the Time Scoop reaches into the vortex and deposits remarkable guests on the Sofa of Infinite Understanding — actors, writers, directors, creatives and fellow travellers from Doctor Who and the wider worlds of television, theatre and storytelling. Expect warmth, wit, behind-the-scenes revelations, philosophical detours, laughter, the occasional existential wobble, and the gentle sense that reality is being adjusted around the edges. But this is not simply a nostalgia voyage. This is a show about you and Who — about fandom, friendship, courage, creativity and the curious ways a television programme can shape a life. Your stories, your questions, your theories and tangents are part of the fabric of the ship itself. Find us at on Instagram, Twitter and Bluesky at aceodyssey63 and step into the conversation. And for those who feel the pull of the vortex just a little more strongly, there is our Patreon community: episodes ad-free and early, two exclusive podcast episodes every month, online meet-ups with cast and crew, competitions, and the chance to help shape the future of the show itself. Head to www.patreon.com/aceodyssey to find out more! So check that time is moving in a broadly cooperative direction, steady yourself against the console, and prepare for lift-off.The Odyssey is already underway.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
