    Who is YOUR Favourite Doctor Who?

    Send us a text and let us know what you think of our podcast! As regular listeners may have become aware, Geoff's love for Doctor Who has diminished of late.  With no new season on the horizon and rumours of yet another David Tennant return - not to mention the frankly weird and desperate ending to Series 2 "Oh! Hello!" - our saddened and deflated co-host turned to his best friend for comfort and inspiration.  No, not Paul. Geoff's best buddy it seems is Al Dewar, Creative Director at Character Options. And one windy night around 3am, whilst playing adventures with his new line-up of top secret Doctor Who figures, Al received a call from sad Geoff entreating him to help rediscover the love he once had for Doctor Who.  "Geoff," said Al, deftly moving a prototype [REDACTED] across the tabletop towards a freshly sculpted [REDACTED] to get a better look at the new [REDACTED] figure. "Get a grip. Jodie's gone. However, what about these suggestions for podcast topics..."  Several hours later a newly invigorated Geoff texted Paul to say "We're doing our Favourite Doctor and their Costumes!"  "Cool" said Paul. And the rest, as they say, is history!   So here we go. With special guest Al Dewar plus lots of contributions from our lovely listeners and followers on social, here's our lively dicussion on Your Favourite Doctors.  Who is YOUR Doctor? Is it the Doctor you grew up with? The one who resonated with you the most, whose adventures and approach to life touched your heart in some fundamental way?  Or is it the one whose costume includes celery?

    Doctor Who | Resurrection of the Daleks: Part 2 - Commentary plus Tegan Figure chat!

    Send us a text and let us know what you think of our podcast! As the deadly DALEKS finalise their plans to assassinate the High Council of the Time Lords - presumably as part of the build up to the Time War but actually who really knows? - hosts Paul and Geoff unleash their own weapon: the very first figure set from Character Options featuring TEGAN JOVANKA! Complete with an EXPLODED DALEK, a massive gun and a Dalek canister, this new Vortex Edition set from CO launches with impeccable timing - for us anyway, given that we were watching Resurrection of the Daleks, Tegan's poignant exit epsiode. So join us as we take a closer look at the figure set, pose Tegan in a variety of ways and play around with her massive gun. In-between all that, we try and find time to talk about the story we're supposed to be watching.
