I love this podcast! I stumbled across it several years ago, when I began my project of watching all of Doctor Who in sequence. The podcast turned out to be the perfect companion, filling in the production background and highlighting many aspects of each adventure that I missed.
They get the show. They get the Doctor — all of them. They get the companions — all of them. And they LOVE the show, that’s obvious with every minute of every episode. But at the same time they’re not afraid to call out bad choices, either in the writing or the production. (I’m talking about you, horny crustacean.) Their comments are always astute and well-informed, and more than anything else, they seem to genuinely enjoy each others’ company.
A word has to be said here about the terrible loss of Don and his partner. There is no denying that an important ingredient in the chemistry is gone. But the team has rallied round and I think they’ve made exactly the right decision, carrying on without trying to replace him, because there is no way that could have been done. All I can say is that I felt his loss as if one of my old high school buddies had passed away, and continuing the podcast is the best tribute they could possibly pay to their friend.
I look forward to continuing my journey with these fellow Whovians for many years to come.
