Latest Podcast Episodes

The moment has arrived! That is, an actual announcement of Doctor Who's future from the BBC (and not the outgoing Disney+) in the form of a last hurrah from Russell T Davies and Bad Wolf by way of a Christmas special in 2026, along with official confirmation of Turf and Surf hitting the iPlayer this Christmas and Disney+ in February. What does this portend for both the present and future of Doctor Who? The Three Who Rule put on their television detective hats and as usual solve nothing, as do many entertainment journalists including friend of the show Kyle Anderson, and lesser lights such as Variety, Deadline, and The Hollywood Reporter. Plus the usual Big Finish cover over-analysis, a smidgen of Can*Con, and the conclusion of our four-part Classic Series Commentary for "The Sun Makers"!

This pairing of stories linked to Mary Shelley's horror story Frankenstein was Richard's idea: in the last episode we looked at the four part 4th Doctor story from early 1976 and Season 13 - The Brain of Morbius, which we've paired this time with 2020's 13th Doctor outing The Haunting of Villa Diodati from Series 12. We'll decide whether these stories have animated us like a bolt of lightning or left us feeling like mouldering corpses. Joining Richard for the discussion are Gav, Giles and Paul.

We recorded this episode in August; the first part came out in September and this part has taken until November; sorry for the wait.

Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it, so we can build our listener base high for happiness. You can rate us directly on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser.com

Richard's other podcast "If It's Hurting, It's not Working" is currently on hiatus, but it's a fun and informative look at work - why we work, how we work, and what makes a great job. And also what makes a great workplace, how to turn things round when we're not enjoying our work and, in the end, how we can all make our work better. For all episodes, go to https://ifhurtnotwork.podbean.com/ and https://ifhurtnot.work.

She's a really talented artist, who you can find by following this link: https://beagarridoart.weebly.com/, where you can buy prints of some remarkable paintings of characters from Doctor Who.

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

Dawn of the Dead (1978).

Hello and Happy Halloween to you all and what a cracking episode we have for you. This month Meds and Kell talk about the Argento cut of George A Romeros wonderful Dawn of the Dead. We hope you like it, dont have nightmares.

As always please leave us a review on whatever platform you use to get the show, spread the word and come and join us on the social medias. 

  This title was released in October 2025. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 31 December 2025, and on general sale after this date. South London, 2036. The Doctor and Rose team up with an urban explorer to investigate the case of Mr Fingers, an invisible killer haunting an abandoned corner of the city. If you feel a hand on your shoulder: don't look around... THIS TITLE IS NOW OUT OF PRINT ON CD   Recorded on: 5 and 9 December 2024 Recorded at: The Soundhouse and Fitzrovia Post   Writer Timothy X Atack said: "I've got a book called Abandoned Places and it’s a photographer who travels the world and finds hotels that are slowly rotting away or islands that used to be inhabited but have been left to the elements. These amazing photographs were an inspiration for what might happen with an urban explorer, in more of an influencer space, and from that a frisson with the Doctor and with Rose started to build up in a very natural way. "And I have this deep love of Doctor Who's more eldritch, Lovecraftian villains, especially when you end up not really knowing any more about them at the end than at the beginning. Sometimes you just want something that hates, and that's what Mr Fingers is. He despises life." Director Helen Goldwyn added: "We’re seeing different incarnations of the Powell Estate, this familiar setting from the TV series, and exploring more of what that community might look and feel like. Here, we get to see the future version of the estate, which is a very bleak, dystopian vision. It’s a really cleverly constructed script where you get that picture of the modern flat and the destroyed flat - it creates such a vivid visual image in your mind as you’re listening." Christopher Eccleston said: "I come from an estate like the Powell Estate. Not quite as concreted, but very much like it. And in my childhood, especially in summer, it was quite a magical, mystical place. "I like it when Doctor Who fastens on our folklore and it investigates it. It's often the simplest things like, are you my mummy, or just being tapped on the shoulder... The Doctor's obviously frightened of Mr Fingers!" And Billie Piper reminisced on the now-iconic setting: "It was always one of my favourite locations, being on the Powell Estate. We did so much of the early days there that it holds a special place in my heart, and it was weird filming on a living and working estate - we started to feel like residents!"    (The Doctor)  (Rose Tyler)  (Ellis Coates)  (Jackie Tyler)  (Mr Fingers) (Brainy Betty)     Cover Art by Director Executive Producer Music by Producer Script Editor Sound Design by Written by Senior Producer  

This week, David & Matt sit down to discuss the 3rd Story of series 26 'The Curse Of Fenric'.

With the wait between THE REALITY WAR and the 2026 DOCTOR WHO CHRISTMAS SPECIAL lasting longer that the 1985 hiatus did (1 year 6 months and 24 days versus 1 year, 5 months, and 24 days), the only logical thing to do was make a pop record. Friend of the show (and sometime co-host) Mike Solko really shouldn't have put this idea in my head. Enjoy - Rob

DOCTOR IN RECESS

(Intro)
Eighteen months is too long to wait,
BBC please, don’t aggravate.

(Verse 1)
The TARDIS doors are shuttered,
The filming lights are dim,
We’re left with endless theories,
And one half-regenerated him.

They promised worlds of wonder,
And merch from here to Mars,
But when the numbers wobbled,
They crash-landed the TARDIS hard.

(Chorus)
Doctor in recess,
Let’s all answer this time stress,
Doctor in recess,
Our fandom’s under real duress!

(Verse 2)
There’s Daleks feeling restless,
The Cybermen look bored,
The Weeping Angels whisper,
“You can blink if we’re ignored!”

The Master’s doing TikToks,
The Ood are serving tea,
And somewhere in Cardiff,
Time stands still on the BBC.

(Bridge)
Bring him back now, we’ll take no less,
The fandom’s losing its consciousness,
The universe is stuck once more,
And waiting till ‘26 is such a chore.

(Verse 3)
We’ve learned to love each Doctor,
Each face that comes and goes,
From Eccleston to Gatwa,
And whoever the next one shows.

The monsters are all waiting,
The Daleks need their cue,
Without a weekly scream to stream,
What’s a poor fan meant to do?

(Final Chorus)
Doctor in recess,
Let’s all answer this time stress,
Doctor in recess,
Our fandom’s under real duress!
Doctor in recess...
The long wait’s causing time distress!

The Doctor Who partnership between Disney and the BBC has officially ended, with Disney stepping away from the co-production deal after two seasons. Although Disney will still air the upcoming spin-off The War Between the Land and the Sea, the BBC has affirmed that Doctor Who will continue “with or without Disney,” and has confirmed a Christmas special penned by Russell T Davies for 25 December 2026.

Rob has thoughts.

Ross, Melvin, and Dan are for the next 9th Doctor and Rose story from Big Finish, The Last Days of the Powell Estates.  Lots to chat about maybe a tangent or two

 

#DoctorWho #BBC #BigFinish #TARDIS

  review   This title was released in October 2025. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 30 November 2025, and on general sale after this date. The Doctor makes an unexpected return trip to the planet Konzomia, this time with Sarah Jane Smith. The traumas of his previous visit, with Jo Grant, are apparently long forgotten.  Except that they are not... Can a long-defeated danger be rearing up again? And will the plight of a young British soldier, retreating to Dunkirk in 1940, be the catalyst for the unravelling of history?  The Doctor, Sarah and the Brigadier must embark upon a mission of mercy, with Jo Grant at its very heart. **Please note: the collector’s edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,500 copies** Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart © Haisman & Lincoln and used under licence.

There's a LOT to get through this month - from missing episodes on the verge of being found, to Bad Wolf being quite annoyed at a high-profile Doctor Who writer saying what everyone else was thinking... and that's just the news, folks.

After some short topics, we get to the meat of this episode - a deep dive into the Missing Adventure, Cold Fusion, the twenty-ninth novel in that series. It was written by Lance Parkin and was the only multi-Doctor story involving televised Doctors ever told by Virgin Books, pairing the 5th Doctor of Season 19 with the 7th Doctor from near the end of the Virgin New Adventures line.

If you're unfamiliar with the story but want to make sense of our review, we dropped a 10-minute synopsis of the novel on our podcast feed yesterday. Look it up!

To close, we open the mailbag for a ton of feedback from our listeners on a number of topics related to past podcasts and Doctor Who in general.

Enjoy, dear listener.

This is a truly epic discussion with a man who has created so many iconic sounds from Doctor Who. The TARDIS, the Dalek voices and many, many more.

Brian Hodgson did special sound for Doctor Who between 1963 - 1972 and returned to the Radiophonic workshop in the 1980's.

But like all our guests, there is much more to him than Doctor Who. We'll also chat about some of Brian's other projects over the years.
