Doctor Who missing episodes: Two Daleks’ Master Plan episodes found

Two long-missing episodes of Doctor Who have been recovered — and they come from one of the most famous lost stories in the programme’s history, The Daleks’ Master Plan. “The Nightmare Begins” and “Devil’s Planet” have been found, restored, and will be released through BBC iPlayer at Easter. Lost Doctor Who episodes found (BBC Leicester) In this episode, Christian Cawley is joined by fanzine publisher Gareth Kavanagh (Cutaway Comics, Vworp Vworp!), to discuss the discovery of two episodes from the epic 1965 Dalek adventure, a serial that remains one of the most significant gaps in the Doctor Who archive. With around half of the 12-part story still missing, the recovery of any material is a major moment for fans of the series, and anyone interested in lost media. Christian and Gareth explore how the discovery came about, what we know about the recovered prints, and how they fit into the wider story of the BBC’s missing episodes. They also reflect on why The Daleks’ Master Plan has become such a legendary part of Doctor Who lore — from its scale and ambition to its infamous reputation among fans who have only experienced the story through reconstructions, audio recordings, and novelisations. Along the way, the conversation touches on the broader history of missing episodes (Gareth previously attended a “missing episodes” event for Kasterborous in 2013), how discoveries like this still happen decades later, and what the find might mean for future archival work.

Blake's 7 reboot -- will it really happen?

Christian Cawley and James McLean take a break from 500ish to discuss the news that Blake's 7 could be heading for a reboot after the IP was picked up by Multitude Productions. As James is a big Blake's 7 admirer and has also worked on an eventually uncompleted project based on the show, it seemed a good opportunity to discuss what might be needed to make a Blake's 7 reboot work...

Is Doctor Who "too big"? Is it "essentially a spooky show?"

Recent comments from Mark Gatiss and Peter Capaldi (made separately) concerning Doctor Who's current status are the focus of our conversation this week. Christian Cawley and James McLean cover a number of points, with everything from the dying requirement for basic screen language (such as a documentary where two people greet each other at a door before a more in-depth interaction) to whether Steven Berkoff should have had more time on-screen in The Power of Three. Come on, we all know the answer to that one. This is a big hour-long chat, so hold onto your loins, gird your hats, and mix your metaphors. Oh, and listen out for mention of the first of Brian Terranova's Doctor Who interview collection, now available on our Patreon.

From Tracy Island to Wonky Donkey: remembering '90s children's TV

What can Tracy Island, Wonky Donkey and a TARDIS tell us about growing up with television in the 1990s? Well, Christian Cawley is about to find out. He chats with author Thom Gray about 100 Objects of '90s Children's TV, his celebration of a decade of CBBC, CITV, Saturday morning shows and programmes that have since slipped from memory, which is out now from Candy Bar Books. Thom explains how the book came together, the challenges of researching children's television from the period, and his conversations with around 35 people who helped make it, including Pat Sharp, Anne Wood and Tony Robinson. We also delve into some of the 100 objects themselves, including Anthea Turner's famous Blue Peter Tracy Island, Wonky Donkey from SM:TV Live, the MicroSoap Rubik's Cube, and the TARDIS. Doctor Who might have been absent from television for most of the 1990s, but it wasn't entirely absent from children's TV. Thom explains how the TARDIS continued appearing elsewhere during the Wilderness Years, prompting a wider discussion about Doctor Who's curious place in the decade. Plus: forgotten programmes, VHS tapes, YouTube archaeology, and why '90s children's television is ripe for rediscovery. Links 100 Objects of '90s Children's TV on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4fMhmwi

What Doctor Who should learn from Marvel and DC

This week’s podcast explores what the future might hold for Doctor Who—and whether the problems facing the BBC’s flagship series are really part of a much bigger shift across television and film. Hosted by Christian Cawley and James McLean, the show discusses Sylvester McCoy’s surprise appearance in the Commonwealth Games trailer, what it tells us about the BBC’s continuing commitment to Doctor Who, and the implications of the programme’s move to open tender. From there, the conversation broadens into Marvel fatigue, Netflix’s audience drop-offs, Spider-Noir, Chris Chibnall’s attempts to reinvent Doctor Who, and whether modern audiences still want long-running serialised storytelling—or something completely different. Talking points: Sylvester McCoy and the Commonwealth Games trailer BBC Studios and Doctor Who’s future What happens after Bad Wolf? Why Marvel’s current strategy may no longer work Spider-Noir and character-first storytelling Reassessing Chris Chibnall’s era What Netflix’s viewing figures tell us Why Doctor Who may need a completely different release strategy Let us know what you think, and if you have any thoughts on how Doctor Who should end, get in touch!Meanwhile, Patreon supporters can enjoy some exclusive “after show” chat…

Doctor Who Series 2 isn't what you remember

This week, Christian Cawley, James McLean, and a returning Brian Terranova revisit Doctor Who Series Two (2006)! Twenty years after Doctor Who Series Two first aired, we look back at the stories that established David Tennant as the Doctor and cemented the modern series as a television phenomenon. From New Earth and Tooth and Claw to School Reunion, The Girl in the Fireplace and the return of the Cybermen, we revisit our original reactions, discuss how our opinions have changed over the years, and ask whether this celebrated run of episodes deserves its reputation. The conversation also broadens into a look at modern Doctor Who as a whole, from the Chibnall era to Russell T Davies' recent return, considering which stories have stood the test of time and how fandom's views continue to evolve. In this episode Looking back at Doctor Who Series Two (2006) First impressions versus twenty years of hindsight New Earth and the strengths (and weaknesses) of the opening story Tooth and Claw and the evolving Doctor/Rose relationship Why School Reunion remains one of the defining stories of the era Revisiting The Girl in the Fireplace The Cybermen's return in Rise of the Cybermen and The Age of Steel Which episodes have improved with age—and which haven't Flux, the Whittaker era and recent Doctor Who highlights Why every era of Doctor Who has both classics and disappointments What are your memories of Series Two? Has your opinion changed over the last twenty years, or does it still represent the high point of modern Doctor Who?
