I'm joined by a special co-host this week - Maria from the writing team! This week, we take a look at the buzz surrounding Ncuti Gatwa's comments about a potential third season of Doctor Who, which sparked controversy among fans along with the implications of Gatwa's remarks, examining how they were edited during a recent appearance on the Graham Norton Show and the BBC's subsequent response...

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 411.

This week, after a quick chat on the recent Dragonfire screening at Riverside Studios, we're diving into the still-lost story, now animated, The Power of the Daleks for our review. This is an important story as it's the very first televised regeneration and Patrick Troughton's first performance as The Doctor. Often regarded as a pure classic, what do we think of this Dalek story?

Lastly, list...

It's a busy one this month, Who fans, as Garry is joined by Jordan, Harry, Maria and Matt to talk about which companions (and a few Doctors!) either overstayed their welcome or should have stuck around for longer.

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 407.

This week's big news comes fresh from the announcement at San Diego Comic Con last week that we're getting a Doctor Who spin-off - The War Between the Land and the Sea. Headed up by a couple of previous familiar (but not the same) faces and U.N.I.T. this starts filming this month and should land next year.

After the news, we're onto our review of the classic Second Doctor story - The Abominab...

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 406.

This week we have a natter on the BBC's annual report and how they feel the latest season of Doctor Who has performed then it's onto our review of The Chase which also happens to be our last ever surviving full live-action review (it's all reconstructions and animated stuff after this). This one is a slightly bonkers story, but does it bring us the best of the Hartnell era? Oh and also, tiss...

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 405.

It's been a while since we reviewed an animated lost story and what better story to dive into than the recently released, very Marmite offering, The Celestial Toymaker.

We've not spoken about it much on the podcast other than covering the release announcements (although our roving reporter Maria did a great round-up of the cinema release at The BFI) so it's time to see what all the fuss is ab...

Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 404.

It's with a heavy heart that we come to our last 7th Doctor story to review. We've put it off for long enough but it's time to say goodbye to Sylvester McCoy (unless we decide to re-review them all. Joking. Or are we? Probably). Is this last story a belter or a damp squib?

It's not all bad news for McCoy fans though as before the review, we chat about the recently announced Season 25 Collecti...
