    Happy Birthday, Raggedy Man and Ncuti's Comments Still Linger

    Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 414. 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.

    Special Co-Host Maria Kalotichou and That Graham Norton Edit

    Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 413. 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.

    Power Surge or Dalek Purge? Our Review of The Power of the Daleks

    Hey, Who fans and welcome to Episode 411. 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.
