  • Dan, John Bishop
    Beloved comedian and actor, John Bishop, is stepping into the TARDIS to play Jodie's final companion! Ahead of the much-anticipated premiere of Doctor Who: Flux, John and I had a fantastic chat about why standups make such great actors, taking dogs on the TARDIS, and whether Daleks are scarier than bombing on-stage.

  • Executive Producer at Big Finish, Nick Briggs
    What starts as a gentle ribbing of Dirk Maggs soon leads to a revelatory chat about looking for reasons to say yes, struggling to play favourites, how to stay in love with Doctor Who, and the single weirdest Tom Baker anecdote you'll ever hear.

  • Davros, Terry Molloy
    Terry Molloy, the masterful performer behind the wizened face of Davros, sits down for a lengthy (and at times wonderfully bizarre) chat about his role as leader of the Dalek race! This one gets gloriously weird, folks. Enjoy.

  • Managing Director of Big Finish, Jason Haigh-Ellery
    Managing Director of Big Finish, Jason Haigh Ellery, sits down with me for a brilliant chat about bagging Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor, dealing with massive canon-shifts in the TV show, and how Big Finish turn out their trademark brilliance long-distance during COVID. We also riff about who his favourite Big Finish companions are.

  • Writer, Neil Gaiman
    In this very special episode, I revisit an interview I did with Neil Gaiman back in 2013. It's a surprisingly deep, revelatory chat - we talk about overcoming writers block, how to actually sit the hell down and get writing done, and we go deep on Neil's love for Doctor Who, what it's like to writer on the show, and the pressures of running something as big as Sandman. If you're an aspiring author or a Whovian, this is a rare glimpse into the mind of one of our greatest living writers.

  • Doctor Who's Ace, Sophie Aldred

    The iconic, anarchistic and utterly fierce companion to the seventh Doctor, Ace, is in the house! I talked with the wonderful Sophie Aldred about all things Ace - how she got the role, how much of Ace is actually her, and where the character was going to end up before the show's cancellation. And yes, there is extensive jacket talk!

    In fact, this episode is very Ace heavy! It's a jam-packed look at one of Doctor Who's most enduring companions, and we hope you enjoy it.

  • Doctor Who composer, Segun Akinola

    If you've ever wanted to hear how someone makes the music for Doctor Who happen, this episode is right up your alley. I sat down with brand new Doctor Who composer, Segun Akinola, who took over from Murray Gold for the new series! We dig into his influences, his favourite musical moments on the show, and heaps more.

    We also take a look at everyone's favourite robot dog (I hope), K-9!

  • Writer of Demons of the Punjab, Vinay Patel

    This week on Doctor Who, we were hit with a heartbreaking look at partition, a horrifying and pivotal moment in history. Writer of the episode, Vinay Patel, sat down with me to chat about the pressures one feels doing not just their first episode of Who ever, but an episode that has such a weight behind it. We also talk about how much of a dish David Tennant is. Less important, clearly, but fun.

    And in this week's Companion Piece: Doctor Martha Jones!

  • Writer, engineer and broadcaster Yassmin Abdel-Magied

    Have you ever wondered how the Doctor is coping with her gender shift? Have you ever wanted someone to stay in an elevator just to aid the comedic potential of an interview? And have you ever wanted to hear the thoughts of prolific Whovian, writer, engineer and broadcaster, Yassmin Abdel-Magied? Then this is the episode for you!

    We also talk custard creams, look at the debacle that was Kamelion (failed robot companion of the Fifth Doctor), and more!
