The Doctor Who Show

In our 16th outing for this mini-podcast on our feed, we’ve been watching Star Wars: Andor on Disney+ (so you don’t have to), and we give our thoughts on it. Diego Luna as Cassian Andor Kyle Soller as Syril Karn Adria Arjona as Bix Caleen Fiona Shaw as Maarva Andor Stellan Skarsgård as Luthen Rael Denise Gough as Dedra Meero Genevieve O'Reilly as Mon Mothma Faye Marsay as Vel Sartha Varada Sethu as Cinta Kaz Elizabeth Dulau as Kleya Marki

At the end of October, we threw a vote out there on Twitter for which Tom Baker season you would like us to discuss on the next episode. 160 votes later the results were: Season 12 - 18.8% Season 14 - 27.5% Season 15 - 40% Season 18 - 13.8% So here we are, tonight, to discuss Season 15. Hope you enjoy the chat! Before then, of course, we also talk some recent Doctor Who news, including a fairly underwhelming 59th anniversary for the series, and a new companion. Hello, Millie Gibson! Tune in, drop out, and contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

A new month means a new LIST MAKERS episode! This time, we look at what we consider to be the best monsters which have appeared in both the classic and modern series. If you’ve never heard a List Makers episode before, these are 20m chats based around making a list related to a Doctor Who topic and discussing our similarities, differences, and whatever else comes up during the chat! Suggestions for future lists to be drawn from The Hat of Rassilon are welcome; get in touch! Twitter, Facebook or email us old-school style at hello@thedwshow.net

Doctor Who Am I is described by IMDb as a documentary where, "an infamous Doctor Who screenwriter is reluctantly dragged back into the American Whoniverse, in this funny and moving documentary about finding family in the unlikeliest of places." It launched in the UK in late October and will be available on home media in some territories later this very month. But did you know that, on the podcast which gave birth to the Doctor Who Show - Who Wars - we actually interviewed that screenwriter (Matthew Jacobs)? And that he spoke at length about the Doctor Who Am I project? Yes, on August 9, 2015 we ran a 40m interview with Matthew, touching on Doctor Who Am I, The Emperor's New Groove, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Star Wars, and more. All conducted by Kate - @kamiduu. What we have made here is an edit of that interview, basically cutting more than 50% out (so if you want to hear him talk Disney, Young Indy, George Lucas, etc, you will need to seek out the original episode), and we're left with a very Doctor Who and Doctor Who Am I oriented chat. Seven years have gone by since this interview was conducted, but we think you'll find the chat relevant and a great preamble to seeing the doco!

What a week! It started with us doing a hot take episode on the final Jodie Whittaker story, The Power of the Doctor, and we thought this episode following it would be a bit fluffy and frothy and very relaxed. Nek minnit... we get the news that Disney+ has secured the worldwide rights to screen Doctor Who outside of the UK, starting in 2023. International fandom blew up, particularly here in Australia. Dave was called to appear on a couple of mainstream radio shows to talk about it. We play one at the end of the ep!  So while this episode is about actors who have played the Doctor in other roles, we also have a lot of discussion on both the trailer for the three upcoming specials, and the Disney+ deal. Three listener emails round out the episode. Hope you enjoy the show! Contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

Rob and Dave return with a HOT TAKE on the latest Doctor Who episode, and the final episode for the Jodie Whittaker Doctor: The Power of the Doctor. Did they like it? Tune in and find out. "In this feature-length special to mark her last adventure, Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor must fight for her very existence, against her deadliest enemies: the Daleks, the Cybermen and her arch-nemesis, the Master."

A new month means a new LIST MAKERS episode! This time, we look at what we consider our WORST stories in all of classic Doctor Who. If you thought some of our shows presented hard choices lately, this one was no different! If you’ve never heard a List Makers episode before, these are 20m chats based around making a list related to a Doctor Who topic and discussing our similarities, differences, and whatever else comes up during the chat! Suggestions for future lists to be drawn from The Hat of Rassilon are welcome; get in touch! Twitter, Facebook or email us old-school style at hello@thedwshow.net

Dave took a flying visit up to Sydney, so the 8th of October saw him catch up with Rob, in-person. For this latest meeting, the lo-fi, hotel room recording vibe is back. Strap in for, ‘Rob and Dave Unplugged 3’ where, this time around, the guys canvassed their social media followers for questions about anything at all! Come and spend an hour with the guys, talking everything from Doctor Who to their favourite sandwiches. Have a comment? hello@theDWshow.net

It's the end of September and, as promised last episode, Rob and Dave have read the Target novelisation of Eric Saward's 1985 Doctor Who radio play, Slipback.  In this episode they run through the novel, blow-by-blow, then have a discussion about it. Naturally, they also discuss the radio play too, for some handy comparison. Before then, they discuss some interesting news from the past month, some short topics and, at the end of the show, talk about some non-Doctor Who content they've consumed of late. A couple of listener emails round out the episode. Hope you enjoy the show! Contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

Welcome to the 24th and, for now, FINAL episode of the podcast we’ve been dropping on the feed every month in between our regular monthly shows. In today’s podcast, Rob sits down with his Doctor Who Show co-host, Dave, to discuss the letters from both Doctor Who Magazine from February of 1986 and some classic issues of the Sonic Screwdriver fanzine from the Doctor Who Club of Victoria. Yes folks, this is a double episode to end the run on (for now). This is Doctor Who without a safety net. The conversations could go anywhere the guest wants them to go. This is Primary Sources!
