On this episode, we don’t really have much concrete news, so it’s rumours and hearsay. We discuss the public two-horse race for the showrunner role (there could be other horses in the race, who knows) and the rumour that Netflix wants more control over format and runtime, IF they are, in fact, the next streaming partner.

All interesting stuff, so grab a cuppa and settle in as we chat about all things Doctor Who!

It's the first Roundtable of 2026!

There's plenty more chat about all things Doctor Who, so grab a cuppa and join us for the usual Roundtable chatter and waffle.

Happy New Year, you lot. We hope you had a great Christmas and are now already cracking on your 2026 plans.

There's not a huge amount of Doctor Who news currently, but to kick things off, we celebrate Tom Baker's remarkable 92nd birthday. It’s incredible to see him still vibrant and full of life, a true icon of the show. Plus: Doctor Who director (and in the news for his announcement about a Blake's 7 reboot) Peter Hoar talks about something being a-miss in the recent Disney era; the BBC is getting close to announcing content for YouTube; three new Target novelisations and our Matt has put out our first Big Finish review of 2026 for The Thirteenth Doctor's latest story The Return of the Doctor.

Hey, Who fans! This month Garry is joined by Harry and Matt to have a chat about the infamous Seventh Doctor story "Paradise Towers" as, quite incredibly, neither Matt nor Harry had seen this story before!

Twenty years after their on-screen adventures, Chris Eccleston and Billie Piper are re-united for more trips in the TARDIS over at Big Finish. I've got all the details in this episode! "Back to the Powell Estate, where the Doctor’s past returns to haunt him, and out into the universe where enemies old and new are waiting... "

In other news, Doctor Who has landed its first-ever Emmy nomination — amazingly, after more than 60 years — in the category for Outstanding Choreography for Scripted Programming. (Not something I ever expected to tick off on the "Doctor Who Emmy Nominations Bingo Card"!)

Writer Mark Gatiss dropped some interesting thoughts on making Doctor Who in a recent interview, touching on the use of nostalgia, with this cutting line: "...It’s part of the reason we’re in the mess we are...". Oof! It's a great interview and Mark has many of us, myself included, nodding along.

We've also got a few other bits worth shouting about: the upcoming spin-off The War Between the Land and the Sea is rumoured to arrive this autumn, there's a fun interview with Ncuti Gatwa (including a random run-in with Matt Smith), and some insights from BBC Studios' Commercial CEO Tom Fussell on their continued commitment to the show.

Oh, and some tasty merch is on the way — including the long-awaited Season 13 Blu-ray Collection.

Sonic Screwdriver at the ready. Let’s go.

After a couple of weeks' break, we're back and ready to throw ourselves into the finale of Doctor Who Season 2: "The Reality War".

The crux of the episode revolved around saving Poppy while dealing with the Unholy Trinity on a mission to resurrect Omega. On paper, this sounds amazing, but does the finale stick the landing and provide a satisfying conclusion to Ncuti's era? Does Susan return? Who's "The Boss"? Are we even pronouncing Omega correctly?

There are lots of questions to be answered, so grab a cup of tea, coffee or something stronger and join us for our thoughts on The Reality War.

As we gear up for the big showdown in season two—or is it fifteen, who’s counting?—we're chatting about this wishy-washy world where reality's a bit fuzzy. Things are getting spicy with the Rani and that mysterious baby, and we’re left wondering if this whole setup is leading to an epic reset or just a clever ruse.

Last week saw us have quite opposing opinions, so are we more aligned with Wish World, or has this closing act of Doctor Who Season 2 put a fork in the road? Tune in for our usual waffle and review of this penultimate episode.

The stakes are high as the Doctor has to save a galaxy of fans both inside the arena and the viewing audience across the galaxy. This one was a mix of heavy (and at times hard to watch) themes and some comedic moments, so it's good to have some variety to chat through.

Plus, we’re treated to returning classic characters the Rani and a surprise (very very very very long overdue) appearance from Susan, which got the feels going for sure. With that being said, are the cameos enough to pull the episode up out of this season's up-and-down feel so far?

We're off to Lagos, where the Doctor plans to visit an old friend in his barber shop, however, there's weirdness afoot as trapped patrons are being forced to feed their stories to a terrifying engine.

The episode dives deep into cultural themes and storytelling, making for a visually stunning experience, but it’s not without its confusions. Join us as we unravel the good, the weird, and the downright puzzling moments.

Lucky Day was another interesting episode! Ruby Sunday’s back in action, trying to navigate life on Earth without the Doctor. Things get dicey when a new threat emerges, and she’s got to save her boyfriend, Conrad, from the Shreek.

The episode explores heavy themes like online toxicity and personal struggles, but honestly, it left us feeling a bit mixed. We’re all about the twists and turns, but this one had us flipping back and forth on whether we loved it or just kinda liked it.

Tune in as we break down our thoughts, laughs, and maybe a few head-scratchers from this episode.

Mentioned in this episode:

Federation Strike Trailer

The Doctor and Belinda arrive at a remote dig site where ancient history is colliding with something far more sinister. As tensions rise and minds begin to fray, it’s not clear what’s real or who’s in control.

We chat about the episode’s eerie tone, the way it leans into psychological horror, and the strength of Belinda’s performance alongside the Doctor, plus a few thoughts on the pacing and how it fits into the broader run of Season 2 so far.

Kicking things off, we chat about our recent weekend adventure at the Capital Cutaway event. It was a blast meeting up in London and geeking out together, and we're already planning our trip to next year's big 50th DWAS event.

We also gave our hot takes on the first two episodes of Season Two, “Robot Revolution” and “Lux”. Some of us loved the new companion, Belinda and her strong attitude, while others felt the stories were a bit tired or rushed.

The Doctor and Belinda land in Miami, 1952, and face some seriously spooky cinema vibes. We’re here to spill the tea on what we thought: the creative, solid design throughout the production, to those cheeky fourth wall breaks.

Fandom was generally impressed with this one, so let's see if our views are aligned or if we're out on the ledge, as is sometimes the case.

Today, we dive right into the "Robot Revolution," the season two opener of Doctor Who!

Spoiler alert: The episode was a mixed bag, landing somewhere between decent and just okay, which is kinda how we felt about it. We discuss the new companion, Belinda, and the new vibes she brings, along with the usual Doctor antics. Speaking of which, there’s a bit of a head-scratcher moment where the Doctor celebrates a villain’s demise, and we’re not sure how we feel about that.

Overall, we enjoyed some of the visuals and the robot design, but the story felt a bit thin and predictable. So grab your sonic screwdrivers and join us as we dissect this one and look ahead to next week's adventures!

This is a quick Garry solo show to wish modern Doctor Who a happy 20th anniversary! What a milestone, and we're very grateful and thankful for it, regardless of your or our view of the show these days. 2005, in some ways, feels like a lifetime ago, but in others, it feels like it was yesterday. Time works in weird ways (excuse the pun), and looking back to the episode Rose, it conjures up a feeling of magic and nostalgia. Good times.

As mentioned, if you're a Blake's 7 fan or thinking of giving it a go, we recently launched a podcast where we're going through the whole thing alongside the blu ray box sets. It's called Federation Strike, A Journey Through Blake's 7. We'd love it if you gave it a listen. Thank you 🎧☺️

Hey, Who fans! It's been a minute since we last put an episode out and this one is a Garry-solo, news-focused episode with an update on the latest Doctor Who news and how the weekly episodes here at The Big Blue Box will work moving forward.

Firstly, the main episodes that you've enjoyed for over a decade on a (nearly) weekly basis will now change to a seasonal format. Yep, we are no longer going to try and put episodes out every week. The two main reasons for this are: we've reviewed nearly everything apart from a couple of animated stories, and when there's no new Who going out and not much news, Doctor Who is a bit light on stuff these days. Secondly, Adam and I, when our schedules allow, don't want to force putting content out as you guys will notice it and drift off. I've seen it happen on other podcasts and it's the last thing I want for The Big Blue Box.

So in a nutshell - we aren't going away, we're not going on hiatus and we're not locking the doors to the TARDIS. We're sensibly putting the show on a seasonal format so when we do put content out, we're enthusiastic and have stuff to talk about. You'll next hear from us in April for our first proper season with our reviews for Season 2, then for the spin-off and our next season etc. Lastly, the monthly Round Table episodes will continue as normal, as the writing team have such interesting and entertaining views on all things Doctor Who.

Who fans, thank you, it's been amazing and a privilege for Adam and me to waffle to you all (again, nearly) every week for the last 10+ years and we hope you stick with us as we transition into a different format.

Also as a reminder - we set up the Cosmic Echoes podcast network this year, and although the amount of content for this podcast will be scaled back, we're bringing you more content overall! Our first new podcast - Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7 - has gone down a treat so check that out if you're a Blake's 7 fan or you've heard of the show but not dived in.

Phew, with that being said, the rest of the episode is rounding up the latest Who news including the start date for Season 2, a casting announcement for Season 2, The Sun newspaper progressing their "the show is being axed" story with the Christmas Special now under threat, a ton of money raised at auction for Children in Need, Chris Eccleston and Billie Piper back together for more 9 and Rose stories at Big Finish, and you can still grab the Season 7 blu ray collection from a couple of online retailers.

Links to the stuff we mentioned:

• Season 7 blu ray collection at Amazon and Zavvi.
• 9th Doctor and Rose adventures from Big Finish

Also as a reminder - we set up the Cosmic Echoes podcast network this year, and although the amount of content for this podcast will be scaled back, we're bringing you more content overall! Our first new podcast - Federation Strike: A Journey Through Blake's 7 - has gone down a treat so check that out if you're a Blake's 7 fan or you've heard of the show but not dived in.

Phew, with that being said, the rest of the episode is rounding up the latest Who news including the start date for Season 2, a casting announcement for Season 2, The Sun newspaper progressing their "the show is being axed" story with the Christmas Special now under threat, a ton of money raised at auction for Children in Need, Chris Eccleston and Billie Piper back together for more 9 and Rose stories at Big Finish, and you can still grab the Season 7 blu ray collection from a couple of online retailers.

• Season 7 blu ray collection at Amazon and Zavvi.
• 9th Doctor and Rose adventures from Big Finish

Matt Steele, from our writing team, joins me this week as we celebrate the recent birthday of former Doctor Matt Smith, reflecting on his enduring impact on the franchise and the unique connection fans have with the show.

There's not much news knocking about but Ncuti's comment (now edited out on The Graham Norton Show) regarding the potential for a third season of Doctor Who, stirring up speculation and excitement within the fandom, still lingers. With the BBC and Disney remaining tight-lipped about the show's future, we explore the implications of this uncertainty and what it could mean for the beloved series.

We finish with Matt's journey into Doctor Who, sharing his favourite stories and the moments that hooked him in with a final thought on the show's future trajectory and whether it might benefit from a brief hiatus to reset and rejuvenate.

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.

In other news, the spin-off series "The War Between the Land and the Sea" is set to finish filming by Christmas and Peter Capaldi feels like being The Doctor is way more fun than being himself.

We close out the episode with Maria sharing her personal journey as a Doctor Who fan, reflecting on her early experiences with the classic series and her admiration for Peter Capaldi's portrayal of the Doctor.

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, listener, Adam is back in the U.S. from next week so we'll let you know what's happening with the next episode and story. There won't be an episode next week but we'll be back the week after in some shape or form plus the monthly Round Table episode drops that week, too.

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 Abominable Snowmen. Mostly animated, are these first appearances of the Yeti and The Great Intelligence culminate in a great story or were we left out in the cold?

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, tissues at ready as we say farewell to Barbara and Ian in their final appearances as companions.

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 about. Are we just as divided on it? Listen now for our thoughts plus all the usual Doctor Who waffle!

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 Collection set which looks absolutely gorgeous.

It's the 40th anniversary of the start of The Fifth Doctor era and we throw our fav stories and moments in for a little reminisce before chatting about a subject picking up traction in mainstream media - should the BBC/Bad Wolf/Who in general look into de-ageing or deep fake technology to make older actors look like their younger selves or even resurrect deceased actors entirely like LucasFilm have done with Star Wars?

Thank you for listening, the team will be back next month to discuss more Doctor Who. From all of us here at The Big Blue Box - Aaaaaaaaaallons-y!

Review story this episode: Day of the Daleks

Some Third Doctor action this week featuring time travel, U.N.I.T, Aikido chops and a rather angry UN rep. Oh, and the Daleks are in it for a bit.

Coming next week: Torchwood: Children of Earth "Day Two"

Last week we were left on a cliffhanger after a really good story. Can the next instalment provide the same enjoyment?

As a newcomer to Doctor Who or someone that gets asked a lot from newbies, have you considered what stories to recommend from both classic and modern Who? This month we're each throwing up our recommendations that will ease newcomers without melting their brains. Enjoy.

Thank you for listening, the team will be back next month to discuss more Doctor Who. From all of us here at The Big Blue Box - Aaaaaaaaaallons-y!

There's still no news to report on.

Review story this episode: Torchwood: Children of Earth "Day One"

With series' one and two in the bag, it's time we moved on to Children of Earth to see what we think of this five-part mini-series.

Coming next week: Day of the Daleks

Finally, after what feels like an age, some Third Doctor/Pertwee action! We can't wait to pop this one on and see what the Doctor, Jo and U.N.I.T are up to.

Thank you all for listening to this week's episode and remember to follow the podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don't miss an episode when they land every Friday. Stay cool and until next week - Allons-y!

Nothing to chat about this week.

Review story this episode: The Hand of Fear

After a couple of months of modern era Who it's awesome to be firing up the nuclear reactor and checking out some Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane action in this creepy four-parter from series 14.

Coming next week: Torchwood: Children of Earth "Day One"

We found the first two series of TW a bit up-and-down so does this (almost) mini-series arc provide a more consistent quality of storytelling?

Thank you all for listening to this week's episode and remember to follow the podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don't miss an episode when they land every Friday. Stay cool and until next week - Allons-y!

Nothing to waffle about.

Review story this episode: Eve of the Daleks

The Festive Special was an interesting one. No heavy plot arcs, no crazy multiverse shenanigans, just an action-packed romp but how do we feel about it on the back of Flux?

Coming next week: The Hand of Fear

We're back to our regular schedule and so next week it's a dive back to the classic years for Sarah Jane's last appearance with The Fourth Doctor and that pesky possessed hand.

Thank you all for listening to this week's episode and remember to follow us on your favourite podcast app so you don't miss an episode when they land every Friday. Until next week - Allons-y!

We want to thank our writing team for jumping into this episode PLUS the huge array of articles they've published this year. Maria, Mark, Jordan, Matt and Harry - you guys are awesome.

Adam gives us a rundown of the screening of "The City of Death" at the BFI plus the usual viewing figures and ratings.

Review story this episode: Flux Chapter Six: The Vanquishers

We're here, the end of this six-part series that saw The Doctor and her companions facing their most dangerous enemies. What did we make of this finale?

Coming next week: Overal Series 13 Round Table with the Team

Next week we're gathering the team to chat about Series 13 as a whole and what we all liked and disliked.

Thank you all for listening to this week's episode and remember to follow the podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don't miss an episode when they land every Friday. Stay cool and until next week - Allons-y!

Adam gives us the lowdown on the recent Fantom Event in Chiswick and the usual viewing figures update.

Review story this episode: Flux Chapter Five: Survivors of the Flux

The penultimate story is upon us for review and instead of answering any questions from the start of Series 13, we've got even more!

Coming next week: Flux Chapter Six: The Vanquishers

This is it, the culmination of what's been, on the whole, some of Chibbers' best writing for Who. What did we think of this finale and its conclusion?

Thank you all for listening to this week's episode and remember to follow the podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don't miss an episode when they land every Friday. Stay cool and until next week - Allons-y!

A quick run-through on the ratings and The Abominable Snowmen is getting animated, out next year.

Review story this episode: Flux Chapter Four: Village of the Angels

The Angels are back and creepier than ever as they try to capture The Doctor but not for the reasons we thought were obvious.

Coming next week: Flux Chapter Five: Survivors of the Flux

Dan and Yaz are still trapped in 1901 and can The Doctor get to them based on last week's cliffhanger? Oh, and an Ood is knocking about.

Thank you all for listening to this week's episode and remember to follow the podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don't miss an episode when they land every Friday. Stay cool and until next week - Allons-y!

Normal viewing figures for Series 13 so far.

Review story this episode: Flux Chapter Three: Once, Upon Time

We're halfway through Series 13 and it's not looking good for The Doctor and her companions. Time storms, Daleks, Cybermen, Weeping Angels, a previous incarnation and a mysterious figure not happy with The Doctor. Yes, it is as confusing as it sounds. Try and keep up!

Coming next week: Flux Chapter Four: Village of the Angels

The Daleks, Cybermen and Sontarans have had their turn, now it's time to see what those creepy Angels are up to.

Thank you all for listening to this week's episode and remember to follow the podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don't miss an episode when they land every Friday. Stay cool and until next week - Allons-y!

No news this week.

Review story this episode: Flux Chapter Two: War of the Sontarans

Can this second episode carry the momentum from last week and produce another good ep? Lots of Sontar-ha! and the big question still remains... (no, not "What is the flux?" although that is a good question) "Who is Swarm?".

Coming next week: Flux Chapter Three: Once, Upon Time

It looks like the storyline with Swarm and Azure is heating up and there's definitely a Weeping Angels connection in here somewhere. Join us next week for our thoughts.

Viewing figures for The Halloween Apocalypse, title and synopsis revealed for Chapter Three and according to The Times, the BBC could be losing a hefty amount in commercial revenue due to RTD moving production to Bad Wolf.

Review story this episode: Flux Chapter One: The Halloween Apocalypse

Tis back Who fans! After what seems like a right old age, Series 13 is now upon us. Now the dust has settled since last Sunday and we've watched it a couple of times, what are our thoughts?

Coming next week: Flux Chapter Two: War of the Sontarrans

We're rolling onto Chapter Two next week, of course, to see what those potato heads are up to.

More Series 13 news as the title for episode 2 is announced plus a small clip of Dan emerges showing him dealing with an unruly trick or treater.

Review story this episode: The Evil of the Daleks

This recently released animated 7-parter went down well among fans so we dive in to see what those Daleks are up to and how the animation holds up.

Coming next week: Chapter One: The Halloween Apocalypse

It's finally here Who fans! After what feels like ages, the start of Jodie's last full series is upon us. Will it live up to the marketing and its label of an epic adventure? Join us as we dive into arguably Chris Chibbnal's most important time yet.

Thank you all for listening to this week's episode and remember to follow the podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don't miss an episode when they land every Friday. Stay cool, enjoy Series 13 starting on Sunday and until next week - Allons-y!

The first episode of Series 13 has a title and a start time (here in the UK). Just over a week to go!

Review story this episode: The Name of the Doctor

Series 7's finale is a bit of brain melter but is it a good timey-wimey thanks to The Doctor's friends and a certain other Doctor shows up for a belter of a cliffhanger. We chat through it all.

Coming next week: The Evil of the Daleks

We're looking at the recently released animated Second Doctor story so join us and get your reviews in.

Thank you all for listening to this week's episode and remember to follow the podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don't miss an episode when they land every Friday. Stay cool and until next week - Allons-y!

We have a confirmed start date for Series 13! Yes, mark your calendars for Sunday 31st October where we'll find out what all this Flux business is. We also chat about the latest Season 17 blu ray box set and the recently announced DW Worlds of Wonder exhibition kicks off in Liverpool in May next year.

Review story this episode: The Gunfighters

"So fill up your glasses..." meh, we'll stop that already. The First Doctor's Western romp is a strange old story but what did we make of it? A creative effort or wild wild fail?

Coming next week: The Name of the Doctor

Yep, one of those "Something of the Doctor" episodes. This one sees the 11th Doctor off to Trenzalore and we get some wrap up on the Impossible Girl thing. Oh, and the War Doctor pops up too.

The News

The Doctor Who Experience is off on tour! After closing its doors in Cardiff permanently the same company is now taking it on tour from March next year in the UK with international dates being announced in the future. With a mix of educational elements and Who entertainment, it sounds great. Also, a very cool sounding book is up for pre-order - The Long Game - which looks at the events at the BBC in the run-up to the show coming back in 2005.

Q&A

Some cast members were spotted out and about in Cardiff, including a returning face, and John Bishop has wrapped filming.

Review story this episode: Torchwood: Exit Wounds

It feels like a right old slog but we've finally made it to the end of Series 2. What did we think of this often liked finale? We're not crying, you are.

Coming soon: The Gunfighters

When we return, we'll be heading over to the First Doctor's era for a Wild West-themed adventure in the town of Tombstone. And all The Doctor wanted was to get his toothache sorted. Typical.

Adam is off on holiday for the next couple of weeks so our next "proper" episode will be on Friday 15th October. In the meantime keep an eye on the socials as there may be a couple of bonus episodes dropping.

Star of Arachnids in the UK Tanya Fear has been found after a missing person scare and Adam runs down his visit to see Evil of the Daleks at the BFI.

Review story this episode: Daleks in Manhattan & Evolution of the Daleks

Hard to believe but we're down to our last few Tenth Doctor stories now, we know, sad face. Until then let's (web) swing over to NYC in the 1930s to see what those Daleks are up to and why are there human pigs knocking about?

Coming next week: Torchwood: Exit Wounds

Yes! The train is pulling up at the last station for TW Series 2, phew! Exit Wounds is the last story and after the final moments of the last story, Fragments, we're excited to see how this series finishes up.

Thank you all for listening to this week's episode and remember to follow the podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don't miss an episode when they land every Friday. Stay cool and until next week - Allons-y!

Chris Eccleston is still adamant about not appearing on-screen as The Doctor while dropping some details about his fallout with RTD and we sadly say goodbye to Tony Selby aka Sabalom Glitz.

Review story this episode: Torchwood: Fragments

We can almost reach out and touch the end of Series 2, so close! In this penultimate episode, the Torchwood team are down but not out as we get treated to some flashbacks showing the origin of Torchwood Three and its current members. Is this a decent story by Chibbers or a lemon?

Coming next week: Daleks in Manhattan & Evolution of the Daleks

We've not reviewed a Tenth Doctor story since June and we're nearing the end of his stuff now so let's dive in and see what this is all about. Daleks, obviously but we've not seen it in a while so the rest is fuzzy.

Coming next week: Torchwood: Fragments

An explosion rocks the TW team and we get an insight into each of their history joining TW and their various alien encounters.

As bare as a freshly mopped TARDIS floor.

Review story this episode: Torchwood: Adrift

Gwen is not happy with Jack who seems to be hiding something as the people of Cardiff disappear. PC Andy is back who tries to get Gwen to care once more but has she been embedded within Torchwood's elitist "alien-only" point of view for too long now?

Coming in two weeks: Castrovalva

It's been SO LONG since we watched any Davison stories for review so let's start at the beginning with his first full outing as The Doctor, kicking off Series 19.

Review story this episode: Torchwood: From Out of the Rain

Scary looking circus peeps pop up this time as the Night Travellers try to steal the lives of Cardiff folk. Should be a good creepy one this so what did we think?

Coming next week: The Bells of Saint John

Remember when they tried the new format of splitting a series in two with series seven? Yeah, this is the "mid-series-welcome-back" episode with The Doctor and Clara up against some unruly wifi. Happens to us all at times.

Finally, some news on Series 13. We chat about the recent Doctor Who panel at Comic Con and the subsequent teaser.

Review story this episode: The Dalek Invasion of Earth

No, not Mr Cushing, but the Hartnell six-parter that has the TARDIS team on the ropes. Robomen, Slyther, bombs, romance and that speech. Lots to take in but what did we think?

Coming next week: Torchwood: From Out of the Rain

Torchwood goes a bit weird next week as the mysterious Night Travellers emerge from an old cinema to cause horror on the streets of Cardiff.

Thank you all for listening to this week's episode and remember to follow the podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don't miss an episode when they land every Friday. Stay cool and until next week - Allons-y!

We didn't mention it in the "proper" news segment but The Sarah Jane Adventures is heading to BritBox next month - yay!

Review story this episode: Torchwood - Something Borrowed

On the surface, this is a crazy idea and the trailer makes this ep look a tad naff but... what do we actually think of Gwen's alien pregnancy, shapeshifters and the bants between parents?

Coming next week: The Dalek Invasion of Earth

Back to the 60s next week for an important story involving The Doctor's nemesis race of space cans, a sad departure and potentially one of Who's most famous speeches.

Nothing this week.

Review story this episode: The Pandorica Opens & The Big Bang

We review Matt Smith's first finale as Series 5 goes out with a bang, quite literally with Moffat flexing his timey-wimey muscles.

Coming next week: Torchwood: Something Borrowed

A weird one next week as Gwen finds herself up the duff, pregnant with an alien the day before she's due to mary Reece. Yep, we said it was weird.

Olly Alexander quashes rumours of his casting as the next Doctor and we say goodbye to Jackie Lane.

Review story this episode: Planet of the Spiders

We're off to Metebelis III to chase after that sodding blue crystal to stop the eight legs from dominating the universe. A decent send-off for Jon Pertwee or like the Whomobile is it style over substance?

Coming next week: Torchwood: A Day in the Death

Owen doesn't look too good as he seeks absolution. Will the lonely girl on the rooftop help him, or will it be a mission to retrieve an alien device that is proving more lethal by the second?

Rumours about Jodie's replacement are still doing the rounds but nothing of value to talk about.

Review story this episode: The Sarah Jane Adventures: The Man Who Never Was

This is it. We've come to the end of our run of reviews for The Sarah Jane Adventures. We have loved watching and reviewing this show, it really is a gem within the world of Doctor Who and its spin-off's. We get straight to it and see what the last outing is like for our Attic crew.

Coming next week: Planet of the Spiders

We haven't spent any time with the Third Doctor in ages so now is a good chance to do that as we settle into our new rotation of reviews. It's his last story as The Doctor so let's see if this ends his era with a bang?
