Well, you folks voted for it so in today's episode episode we are looking at the 1965 William Hartnell episode, THE TIME MEDDLER. Before then, of course, we also talk some recent Doctor Who news, including Ncuti Gatwa’s new-new costume, five new Target novels, 60th anniversary news from Big Finish, and Season 9 to get the Blu-ray treatment next. Rob also gets excited about episodes of The Afternoon Show being found and digitised, showing him and his club mates, back in 1988, taking part in a quiz on ABC TV over three days before Remembrance of the Daleks aired. All that and so much more. If you're an old hand, you know the drill by now. If you're new to the show - hello! We drop a full-length episode like this on the final Sunday of each month, and have done for the past 8 years. Tune in, drop out, and contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

It’s now traditional for the January slot in the Doctor Who Show calendar to let Rob have a break from the flagship show while Dave creates something a bit different; often with his mates from fandom in Victoria. Today, the Podcast of Decision V. Dave is joined at his home by Mark (42 to Doomsday, Goodies Pirate Podcast), and Richard (Space Fall: A Blakes 7 Podcast, Goodies Pirate Podcast), for some games and general discussion about Doctor Who via those games. If you’d like to hear more of these games, you can find the previous four installments of the Podcast of Decision in episodes released on November 11, 2018; August 25, 2019; April 12, 2020; and January 2022. Rob will be back next month! Contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

Top 'Nu Who' Stories A new month means a new LIST MAKERS episode! This time, we look at what we consider to be the best stories in all of 'Nu Who', ie: since Doctor Who's return in 2005.

When PRIMARY SOURCES ended, earlier in 2022, a promise was made that it would come back 'from time to time' as a series of specials. Today, Rob makes good on that promise, with the PRIMARY SOURCES CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 2022. Featuring input from Anthony Carroll (squared), Chris March, Richard Smith, Terry Hayward, Jeremy Bonwick, and Neilers C, a team of Doctor Who fans weigh in on a letter to Doctor Who Magazine #238 from May, 1996 on the topic of... SEX! Yes, hanky panky, coitus, relations, lovemaking... whatever you want to call it. Does it ruin Doctor Who? Fans certainly thought so with the TV movie hurtling at them back in 1996. Have our attitudes changed, or is it still a bit... icky? Wishing you all the compliments of the season, and we'll be back in the new year to do it all again. Email us anytime! hello@theDWshow.net

In every era of Doctor Who there are stories which, for whatever reason, aren't as well remembered as others. They're the ones you skip over when you're browsing your DVDs, wondering what you should slip on. Maybe it's because of other, "better" episodes in the same season. Maybe it's received fan wisdom putting you off. Maybe you had a genuinely bad experience with the story in the past. Tonight, however, we turn our mind to stories that are underrated and which you might not be too keen on choosing for your viewing pleasure... yet you should. We blaze through all 13 Doctors, presenting 26 choices for your perusal. Before then, of course, we also talk some recent Doctor Who news, including details of how long Ncuti Gatwa's first series will be, Christmas specials for years to come, and the sad passing of legendary series writer, Chris Boucher.
