It’s the week after Gallifrey One which means two things: post-Gally malaise AND a giant pile of news, including a release date of April 12 for Season 2 on iPlayer (and also theoretically Disney Plus), speculation on the future of Doctor Who as per usual, a boatload of Big Finish, new books, a new RTD-penned series called “Tip-Toe” coming next year to Channel 4, and endless Youtube cogitation mostly revolving around Steven reacting to things.

Who's He? On The TV | Spike Milligan - Part 1

Phil is joined by Tyler Adams of Goonpod to talk about Phil's all time hero, Spike Milligan. In the first part of a two part conversation, Tyler and Phil chat about Spike's TV output from the 1950's through to the early 70's, even including Cucumber Castle starring The Bee Gees! Along the way, they discuss the perils of meeting your heroes and obsessive fans doing impressions.

Join Phil and James as they look back at the week Doctor Who crashed back into the headlines. The Sun ran a two-page feature about the show’s future (or alleged lack of it) which was picked up by other national newspapers and radio stations in the UK. How seriously should we take it?!

In much more upbeat news, Big Finish Productions announced that Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper are pairing up in some some brand new Ninth Doctor and Rose audio stories which is of course, FANTASTIC!

We are also very proud to bring you coverage of the latest Doctor Who proms! As the most musically gifted members of the DWP team, Michele and Brent review what can only be described as wonderful production that was performed at the Royal Albert Hall in Summer 2024 and televised just a couple of months ago over Christmas.

Hello dear listener! Here we are, tonight taking a deep dive into the 1975 classic Tom Baker episode, THE SEEDS OF DOOM.

Before then, all the usual news and short topics you’ve come to expect - including Chris and Billie re-uniting for Big Finish, unsubstantiated rumours about Doctor Who's future and we take a moment to discuss the TOLKIEN biopic on the back of us doing the Lord of the Rings trilogy in our Alternate Galaxies stream at the close of 2024. Later, after the Seeds of Doom section, we have a ton of listener feedback and what we’ve been watching this past month. An absolutely jam-packed episode, you'll agree! Tune in!
