James McLean welcomes back the enigmatic Magnus to discuss the new adventures of Doctor Who. Series 14 is with us, but what is the Kasterborous take on Space Babies and The Devil's Chord episodes?

Well, there is only one way to find out. (Actually two, but unless you're prepared to track down James and Magnus and ask them face-to-face, listening to this podcast is your best option.)

Incredibly, it is 25 years since The Phantom Menace hit cinemas and launched a revival of Star Wars that continues to this day. 

Inspired by the discovery of a 4K vs 35mm comparison video on YouTube, Christian Cawley and James McLean discuss The Phantom Menace. From watching it for the first time, to modern questions and inconsistencies, this talk hits a number of key points about Star Wars pre- and post-Disney acquisition.

After all, Disney didn't have a hand in Caravan of Courage, did they?

We're back with a new, later-than-planned podcast with guest Philip Bates of The Doctor Who Companion. 

Philip chats to Christian Cawley about some projects he's working on with Candy Jar Books, which includes some books on The Racoons, an update to Companions: Fifty Years of Doctor Who Assistants called Companions: Sixty Years of Doctor Who Assistants (announced here for the first time!), and a new UNIT book.

(Apologies, there is a small hiss on Philip's mic, which we tried to remove early on and in post-production, and this is as good as it gets.)

The Church on Ruby Road is reviewed in our latest Doctor Who podcast.

Christian Cawley is conducting other activities this week, so James McLean is joined by "Magnus" to discuss the 2023 Doctor Who Christmas special. But who is Magnus, and will you ever find out?

Probably not, but it's an interesting conundrum to consider as you listen to this chat...

Admittedly later than planned, we're back for our review of the third Doctor Who 60th anniversary episode, The Giggle. Guest starring Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howzer MD, How I Met Your Mother, etc.), the episode reintroduces Bonnie Langford as Melanie Bush and brings us our first look at the 15th Doctor Who, Ncuti Gatwa.

Quite a bit of him, in fact.

This week's show features Christian Cawley abnd James McLean in conversation with each other.
